Chapter 520: Empress Zhao's Ambition
He had seen this kind of monster in the battle of Concubine Pass, and now they appeared in front of him again, full of muscles and strong like a burly general on the battlefield, every inch of the scales on his body were dripping with water, his palms were like fish fins, his claws were as sharp as blades, and the golden light in his pupils was like an everlasting lamp rising in the night sky.
It seems that like the Iron Shura Legion of the Yin Kingdom, the Daqing Dynasty has their secret weapons, or secrets that cannot be seen.
In the face of these terrible monsters, Chu was unable to move, it seemed that he had disturbed their meal time, just imagine that before he arrived here, someone brought these prisoners to this place where monsters were raised, and those unarmed prisoners could only be reduced to the rations of the monsters, and their bodies were torn apart by their sharp claws, digging out their civil war and feasting, what a cruel scene it was.
And now, he is surrounded by monsters, and the only thing he can rely on is the dagger in his hand.
Their faces were as blue as iron, like someone had branded a red-hot bronze mask on their original face.
Their human faces and dragon horns, their golden eyes like flickering candles, constantly examined the white boy who was going to lead to the golden platform, and for some reason they did not have the urge to kill him.
This is a monster Their appearance is different, the body is covered with iron blue scales, dark cyan claws are longer than daggers, sharp teeth break through the lower lip, with every breath they take, those red golden eyes flicker, the dim color is a bit like the black and maroon of ordinary people's eyes, maybe the color of their eyes is like this, and the arrival of Chu Xianzhao made these creatures hidden under the water surface one after another, swimming quickly around Chu Xianzhao, and it seems that they don't mind eating and drinking enough, after having a snack.
Chu Xianzhao was shocked and panicked in his heart, and did not dare to make any rash moves, one of the monsters stood up with both hands supporting the long road, so that its lower body was clear in Chu Zhaozhao's eyes, it actually had a female body, and even had long hair like a woman, it or she had a slender and chic body, if you didn't mention the ugly face covered with scales, just looking at the outline of the body, it might make ordinary men confused.
This monster slowly crawled in front of Chu Xianzhao, and he found that the beautiful place of this half-human, half-dragon monster was only the distance from the waist to the chest, its lower body was covered with craggy bone spurs, which began to bend backwards from the knee part, and the sharp and huge feet could easily crush the head of the war horse, such a monster should only appear in nightmares, or be chased and killed by the heavenly masters who slay demons.
The appearance of the monsters is so hideous and terrifying, more than the demons who crawled out of the Yellow Spring, maybe they are in the Yellow Spring, and the Yellow Spring is where he is now standing.
The monster stretched out its tongue to lick Chu Xuanzhao's face, and at this time, Chu Xuanzhao saw that there was actually one at the corner of her mouth
Bright beauty moles, they sniffed at each other, and if you ignored the blue scales on her face, she might be a very beautiful girl.
After the long moist tongue stretched out from the thorny mouth, Chu Xuanzhao realized how terrifying this monster's appearance was, as long as it wanted, it could bite off his head with this blood basin at any time, but it didn't do that, until Chu Xuanzhao's face was covered with crystal saliva, the monster's mouth let out a hoarse roar, and it retreated back to the pool step by step.
For some reason, Chu Xianzhao felt that there was awe in her eyes.
This scene was both terrifying and deadly, and the monsters who did not summon Chu instantly as food began to slowly dive under the pool, floating and dancing in the faint blue light, and let out a hoarse cry from their mouths, like thousands of demons issuing a grudge against the world in the yellow spring.
After Chu Xianzhao raised his hand to wipe the saliva from his face, he found that his internal clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and the scene just now was simply the biggest nightmare he had ever lived.
He cautiously approached the box on the golden platform, and after making sure that there were no mechanisms on it, he inserted the dagger in his hand through the gap in the box, and gently picked open the dusty box.
Just as the box was opened, a bright light appeared, and I saw a scroll lying quietly inside, and the light emanated from the scroll, like a rising light curtain.
Chu Xianzhao took out the scroll and unfolded it, glanced at it, and found that it was just a map of Qingguo, but there was a blood-red long line extending from Luoyang City like this, until the blood line condensed in an unusually bright red position.
"Is that the Mirage Realm?"
Chu Xianzhao muttered, and found that if he wanted to reach the realm of the mirage, he had to pass through Kanglong Pass and Luofengzhou, and this place was very close to the Tiannan Road in Shuyue, not far but extremely dangerous, especially when Lu Qi told him that now the Yin Kingdom had begun to station troops in Shuyue.
Chu Xianzhao frowned slightly, and hurriedly took out the red pen and drawing paper to copy the map, the monsters in this pool would surface from time to time to look at him, and the golden eyes flickered under the water, making him nervous, but fortunately, the brushwork was also meticulous.
When he finally finished tracing the map, he put the scroll back in the wooden box, and the monsters did not attack him the whole time, silently watching him leave.
If that room was terrifying, the next steps are an abyss where you can't see your fingers.
Even after Chu Xianzhao's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he couldn't see anything except the gray marks on the walls around him, but what made him feel happy was that this staircase was going up, so he should be slowly walking to the ground now, instead of walking from one abyss to another.
His fingers ran over the rough surface of the wall, and he walked slowly against the wall, and after walking for a long distance, a cold air suddenly blew on his face, and his white hair was there
Gently patted his cheek.
Chu Xianzhao heard a voice coming from above his head, like a subtle conversation, and felt the swaying light of the palace lamp.
Until now, after he suddenly touched the hard stone wall, he found himself standing in the depths of a black well, the cold wind poured in from the mouth of the well, and the faint starlight could be seen, making him feel like a soul crawling out of the depths of the Yellow Spring.
After he climbed the big rock on the wall of the well and slowly climbed out, he suddenly found himself in a small courtyard, which seemed to be a place where people lived.
Chu Xianzhao can be described as fame and fortune tonight, and finally got the specific map of the Mirage Realm, if he didn't want his identity to be exposed, he should leave the palace immediately and return to the Shen family manor, tell Lu Qi and the Orange Sect Mantis that he got the map of the Mirage Realm, and then start to arrange the next move.
For some reason, he always heard some sounds, and felt a cold breath blowing towards his face, he was obviously not the only one in the courtyard, and this place was a palace, and the courtyard he was in happened to be the center of the palace, could it be that some big people in the palace lived here?
Chu Xianzhao walked through the flowers and grass and approached the courtyard, there didn't seem to be palace maids or eunuchs on duty in this vicinity, and there was not even a single person guarding such a big palace, which was a bit strange.
The small courtyard was brightly lit, and there were people talking inside, their figures casting huge shadows on the walls.
Chu Xianzhao calmed his mind and carefully bypassed the pillars, striving not to make any sound in his every movement.
"The six princes and kings have all come to Sunset City, and now the army on the northern side has begun to deploy, and this war will break out in less than a year at the latest...... What are we going to do now?"
"It's too fast, Chu Xiaohua is too fast, we're not ready yet, starting a war now will only push us to a desperate situation, we have to find a way to delay it." "This is a weak and amiable voice, and the owner of the voice must be a graceful beauty.
"I can manipulate a lot of things, even see the future that is coming, but it is not within my power to control time, it is God's power. The other laughed, accompanied by the sound of falling children.
"I think that the power of the gentleman is not inferior to the gods, or even above the gods. β
Chu Xianzhao shouldn't have ventured to listen to other people's conversations again, no matter who this person was, but he had a strange intuition in his heart that drove him to do such a thing.
When he stuck the paper window in the courtyard, he didn't dare to boldly poke through the paper window with his fingers, which would inevitably leave a horse's feet, but squinted his eyes and looked through the crack in the window, until the familiar figure came into his eyes again, Chu Xianzhao suddenly held his breath.
Empress Zhao sat cross-legged in front of a chess table, still wearing the red clothes she wore last time she went to the Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to kill herself, and the red clothes as thin as cicada wings made her body curve perfectly
Set off, the corners of the eyes are decorated with a faint red makeup, the soft and boneless fingers twist up a white child, and gently fall on the chessboard, the only thing that can be compared to the color of the white child is the pair of slender milky white long legs, I am afraid that no man in this world will refuse her charm.
She is the sister of Emperor Daqing, beauty is just another way for her to gain power, Chu Xianzhao knows what terrifying power is hidden in the body of this graceful beauty, just those ** seductive jade feet, can turn into giant claws with bone spurs at any time, and easily crush the head of a war horse.
With Chu Xuanzhao's eyesight, he could clearly see the figure of Empress Zhao, but the person who was talking to Empress Zhao was in the blind corner of his vision, and he only heard the person laugh lightly, "There is no free lunch in this world, and the use of God's power will naturally have to pay a price, Chu Xiaohua is a person with great luck in the world, and the price he has to pay to defeat him is very huge." β
Empress Zhao smiled, played with the chess pieces in her hand, and said in a slightly complaining voice: "The price is not afraid of being big, don't I also go to the west alone to kill Chu Xuanzhao?" Even a weak woman like this palace can do this, what qualifications do those princes and kings have to hold on to the soldiers in their hands and not hand them over to us, the banner of Daqing in this palace will be planted in every inch of the world, and all the Northern Regions Dynasty will be trampled under my feet, Mr. can help me." β
"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, although this is much faster than I imagined. β
"But in any case, we will need a little longer, the princes and kings are here, but their armies are still in the nest, and you know these men with all their own intentions, some of them are not here to be loyal at all. β
Empress Zhao said lightly: "This is no longer a game between the two, now the whole world is involved in this war, according to the information we have obtained, Chu Xiaohua is hoarding troops, the little empress of Shuyue is simply like his daughter or plaything was fiddled with by him in applause, she is just a little virgin of twelve or thirteen years old, that is, beautiful and obedient, let the army of the Yin State enter Shuyue, the emperor of a country has become a puppet in the hands of others, it seems that the benefits brought by the Yinguo Iron Horse to conquer Shuyue have finally been reflected." Chu Xiaohua's every step is to prepare for the war in the south, God knows what he wants to do next? Now what makes me uneasy is the Chu Xianzhao who has not yet died, no matter what reason he left the Yin Kingdom, Chu Xiaohua will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and the current situation is also thanks to Chu Zhaozhao for stirring up his Lao Tzu game. If Chu Xiaohua starts a war against us within a year, then other dynasties in the Northern Regions will also be involved, you tell me not to worry, but I want you to speed up your actions. β
The man said leisurely: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't worry, the biggest crisis around the emperor now is not Chu Xiaohua, but these princes and kings who have come to Luoyang, the prestige of the Daqing dragoon is gone, and the only way to defeat the army in the Northern Regions is to gather the troops in the hands of the princes and kings, as for the matter of negotiating with them, this is not something I can interfere in." β
Empress Zhao smiled
Said calmly: "I finally said that the emperor will summon all the princes and kings to Luoyang, the only way is that we can fight against Chu Xiaohua, but we don't need these useless kings, we only need the troops in their hands, Mr. promised that I can get rid of the prince of Yinguo for me, and now although the prince of Yinguo is "gone", he is still alive, the end of this matter is not very good, what kind of actions he will make next, we still don't know." So...... Sir, this time the matter must be done beautifully, since a prince of the Yin Kingdom has disappeared, this palace also wants to let these princes all disappear, let our people take over their territory and army, and finally defeat Chu Xiaohua and them, and truly dominate the world!"
"Anything I can do for you, I'll do it. The man said softly, "But I still need some people, thirty dragon eggs." β
"Do you want so much?" Empress Zhao was shocked, "The prisoners in the prison are whatever you want, but thirty dragon eggs are difficult to get your hands on, and this is no longer something I can interfere with......"
"Perhaps...... His Majesty the Emperor has this power?"
Speaking of Zhao Wentian, Empress Zhao's tone was obviously cold, and she said lightly: "I never thought he was His Majesty the Emperor, he liked to mess with the women in the palace since he was a child, even such a person can sit on the dragon chair, it can only be said that he is a good fetus, even Chu Zhaozhao is more like an emperor than him, he can only be regarded as a successor at most, except for being a stallion * horse that continues the bloodline of the dynasty." β
"It seems that as an older sister, you don't like this brother very much. β
Empress Zhao said lazily: "If his ability is only reflected in sleeping with women, for the entire Daqing Dynasty, it is more useful than him to put a dog on the dragon chair, as for why I don't like him, it has nothing to do with Mr., the dragon egg matter will be found in the palace." β
Empress Zhao gambled with her life and traveled thousands of miles from Nanlu to the Northern Regions to kill him, originally wanting to slow down Chu Xiaohua's war process, because Nanlu now has no ultimate weapon that can deal with the Iron Shura army, so she needs time.
Chu Xianzhao stuck to the paper window and listened to their conversation, feeling that his heart was slowly cooling, he looked at the smiling princess in red, his eyes gradually reddened, it turned out that the person who conspired against him was not only Chu Xiaohua, but even many people who had never met wanted him to die.
It was only now that Chu Xianzhao finally knew why she wanted to die by herself.
If it weren't for Ying Liyang by his side, I was afraid that he would have died under the power of Empress Zhao, and what made Chu Xianzhao feel even more frightened was that this bold woman actually wanted to deal with the emperor and the princes, it turned out that the six princes and kings were all planned by her, and she single-handedly manipulated the little emperor.
As a woman, she is also too bold.
He learned from Lu Kui's mouth that it was not a matter of a day or two for the little emperor to indulge in wine, and he often ignored the government and politics, and even privately asked his personal palace maid to review the folds for him
, the little emperor has such a heart, no wonder Empress Zhao dares to do something to empty the imperial power step by step.
Chu instantly summoned the graceful beauty with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and for the first time he felt that there was a woman in the world who was so beautiful that he was disgusted.
Until now, Chu Xianzhao figured out the true face of this conspiracy, although Empress Zhao did not kill herself, but by mistake let the two of them enter the Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to rescue Ying Liyang, and all the later mistakes made him forced to stand on the opposite side of Chu Xiaohua, so that he had no choice but to leave the Yin country, and gave him a blow to him when he was in the limelight, disrupting Chu Xiaohua's plans, and at the same time, he could also use this time to gain the support of the little emperor, and now he summoned the princes to come to Luoyang Mianjun, in fact, for the army in their handsγ
He didn't know what terrible plans Empress Zhao had next, and even who the people who talked to her about these things were, those half-dragon and half-human monsters underground must have something to do with her, and what Empress Zhao wanted to use to deal with the Yin Kingdom was not only the army of the princes, there must be more terrible things that would surface.
Does this crazy woman even know what she's doing?
Chu Xianzhao clenched the dagger hidden in his waist, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he exhaled softly, planning to think of a way to deal with Empress Zhao after leaving, now that the night was already very deep, he didn't know how long Shen Huayu could hide it for himself?
He left the courtyard where Empress Zhao was very lightly, intending to leave the emperor by climbing the high wall and flying the cornice, but found a slender palace maid carrying a lamp walking slowly from not far away.
Chu Xianzhao's face was shocked, and he pressed his body against the pillar, and it happened that a shadow was cast in that place, and the black clothes he was wearing blended perfectly with the night.
The palace maid approached her step by step, the palace lamp in her hand made her face clear, she had a very beautiful goose egg face and bright eyes, it should be a woman who is full of expectations in life will have such eyes.
Chu Xianzhao carefully adjusted his breathing, hoping that this palace maid would not find out.
Until she stopped less than ten paces away from herself, and gently lowered the palace lamp in her hand, as if to determine something.
A palace lamp, separated between the two.
Chu Xianzhao quietly pulled out the dagger in his hand, only to see her squatting down and trying to pick up the palace lamp again, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly her breath became solemn, and the flame of the palace lamp on the ground rose in vain.
In an instant, the palace maid raised her leg and kicked the palace lantern in the direction of the pillar, and the palace lantern instantly turned into a flying fire, illuminating Chu Xianzhao's purple pupils hidden under the mask!
