From the beginning to the end of this battle, it only took a moment in total, there were not too many bells and whistles, and there were no earth-shattering big moves, it looked very simple, and the second prince Zhao Tianyuan was defeated in the hands of the third prince Zhao Tianming.

But it's not that simple.

No one would have thought that the second prince, Xia Zhao Tianyuan, who had always been low-key and unknown to the world, was actually a cultivator, and his talent was so outstanding that he had reached the same strength as the three lower Kaiyang Upper Realm Great Perfections!

Kaiyang Upper Realm Great Perfection, these seven words are simple, but they represent that Zhao Tianyuan's strength has surpassed that of the eldest womb of the Great Chu Palace family. Shen Haoyuan, who surpassed Qingxu Academy, and even Pan Yue, the closed disciple of Wang Chenzhen on the Escape Mountain, was only like this at his age.

No wonder Zhao Tianyuan dared to talk about fighting with Zhao Tianfang, no wonder he dared to live in seclusion in the palace for so many years without asking about the affairs of the court, it turned out that he had always been such a proud and qualified person.

It's a pity that he met Zhao Tianfang, who is also a genius and seems to be slightly better.

It's like in the distant Warring States Period, the brilliant and amazing Pang Juan met his junior brother Sun Bin.

This is a tragedy of the times, just like Zhao Xixuan said on the Star Picking Tower before his death, with Zhao Tianyuan's ability, no matter which dynasty he placed in the past, it is possible to become a generation of heroes, but it is a pity that he was born at this time, in a mountain, it will be difficult to tolerate two tigers after all.

As the two most dazzling twin stars of the Zhao royal family, his light is still not as shining as Zhao Tian's destiny after all.

Feeling the cold chill coming from the sword of the long sword on his shoulder, Zhao Tianyuan smiled.

In the smile, there is unwillingness, relief, and helplessness, but it is more of a pain.

He is already so good and so hard-working, why is he still not as good as the wild seed of Zhao Tianming?

The hardest part of life is not life and death, but when you put in all your efforts and think you have the chance to win, but you still can't ask for it.

At this time, Zhao Tianyuan was so painful.

He looked into Zhao Tianfang's eyes and muttered, "You don't kill me yet, what are you waiting for?"

Zhao Tianming smiled and asked calmly, "Why did I kill you?"

"Because I'm going to kill you. Zhao Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "I kill you and you kill me, do you need any reason for this?"

"No, no, no. Zhao Tianming put down the long sword from Zhao Tianyuan's shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "My father has just died, you have such a ruthless heart to kill your eldest brother, but I don't have such a ruthless heart to kill you." ”

"Besides, why am I killing you?" Zhao Tianming inserted the long sword back into the scabbard and said: "Isn't it more pleasant to let you, second brother, watch me ascend to the throne with your own eyes, watch me make meritorious achievements, and watch me throw you farther and farther on the path of cultivation? ”

After that, he ignored Zhao Tianyuan at the venue, and walked towards the place where the general and the old prince were.

In this battle, he has won without a doubt.

He was a little proud, but he forgot a truth that the National Teacher had taught him back then.

Never give your back to your enemies.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Tianyuan seized this opportunity and raised the big sword again.

If this knife successfully falls, no matter how powerful Zhao Tianming is, it will definitely be impossible to escape death.

But this situation did not happen, because Dean Hu Haiyang suddenly appeared on the field.

How could Zhao Tianyuan, who was only in the Great Perfection of the Kaiyang Realm, be able to bypass Dean Hu of the Tianshu Realm and drop the big sword on Zhao Tianming's back?

The big knife broke into several pieces in mid-air and scattered on the ground.

The general and the old prince, as well as the civil and military officials, all stood up when they saw Dean Hu's shadow.

For the only Tianshu Realm powerhouse in the Great Chu State today, they must meet Dean Hu with the etiquette of meeting the emperor.

Dean Hu glanced at Zhao Tianyuan coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty knows that you are so frustrated, I don't know how the spirit of heaven will feel. ”

Zhao Tianyuan withstood the pressure of Dean Hu's Tianshu realm, and said tremblingly: "Since ancient times, if you become a king or lose a king, either I die, or he dies, what does this have to do with madness?"

Dean Hu said disdainfully: "If you kill Zhao Tianyi, you have to kill Zhao Tianzhi again, do you really want to send all your two siblings into the sea of stars to be willing?"

"Zhao Tianyi, what does the murder of the eldest brother have to do with me?" Zhao Tianyuan did not panic in the slightest, but became more and more calm, he stared at Dean Hu's eyes, as if he didn't feel any pressure, and muttered: "I have always respected you, Dean, but this does not mean that I can tolerate you reversing black and white and fabricating facts to insult my reputation!"

"Whether it insults your reputation or not, it's not up to me, and naturally it's not what you say!" Dean Hu snorted coldly, and then followed Zhao Tian's destiny to the side of the general and the old prince Zhao Xiqing.

"Dean Xie Hu's grace to rescue. Zhao Tianming's face turned a little pale, defeating Zhao Tianyuan also consumed a lot of his Xingyuan power, and the knife in his back just now really made him a little scared when he thought about it now.

"Three times a lot of salutes. Dean Hu said slowly.

The old prince Zhao Xiqing raised his hand and saluted, and asked in a deep voice: "Dean, you just said that the fate of Heaven's will was killed by Tian Yuan, but what evidence is there?" ”

"Don't worry, old prince, the evidence will arrive soon. Dean Hu smiled and said.

As soon as Dean Hu Haiyang's words fell, Bai Wuyan walked in from outside the palace gate with the pale-faced Zhou Xingyun and the eldest prince of Zhou.

In the center of the hundred officials, seeing the appearance of his son, Lord Zhou Yu's face turned blue instantly, and strands of cold sweat flowed down his temples.

No wonder after returning from the next dynasty yesterday, he never saw Zhou Xingyun's shadow again! Zhou Yu only thought that he had gone to bed early or gone out to drink

, I didn't pay much attention to it, where would I have thought that he would fall into the hands of the Starry Night Academy!

Throwing the panicked Zhou Xingyun outside the table in front of the old prince and the general, Bai Wuyan stood behind Dean Hu and didn't say anything.

Dean Hu looked at Zhou Xingyun on the ground with disdain, looked at the civil and military officials present, and asked, "All the adults here, do anyone know who this person is?"

"Isn't this the son of Xingyun of the Zhou family in Huaihe County?" The six families of Huaihe are in great power, and Zhou Xingyun often comes forward to do things with his father, Lord Zhou Yu, so some officials soon recognized him.

"Really. ”

"How could the eldest son of the Zhou family be caught here by Dean Hu, and he is still so down. ”

"Could it be that he is the one who plotted to kill Daxia?"

“......”

There was a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials, I don't know who put forward this hypothesis, and the crowd suddenly exploded, these people who controlled the power center of the entire Chu State were actually no different from those noisy philistines in the market.

Of course, as the protagonist of the matter, Zhou Xingyun's father, Zhou Yu and Lord Zhou didn't have the heart to talk to them about anything at this time.

He sat in the middle of the crowd, like a wooden chicken struck by lightning, his face was uncertain, but from beginning to end, there was no word or deed.

Dean Hu Haiyang smiled and said, "That's right, he is the eldest young master of the Zhou family, the largest family in Huaihe County, Zhou Xingyun. ”

"What does the dean mean is that Daxia's death was the work of the Huaihe Zhou family?" the general asked in a deep voice.

"Last night, Mr. Zhou had already recruited everything. Dean Hu said.

Zhou Xingyun sat on the ground trembling and didn't dare to say anything.

Silence is acquiescence.

The old prince Zhao Xiqing sighed, stroked his beard and said: "This Huaihe Zhou family is just a small family, where did you dare to murder the will of heaven, there must be something strange behind this!"

Dean Hu smiled: "You have to ask about this matter." ”

The old prince looked at Zhao Tianyuan, who was a little ugly not far away, and he actually had a number in his heart, but there were some questions to ask.

"Tian Yuan, what is your relationship with this Huaihe Zhou family?" he asked lightly.

"Uncle Huang, I don't have anything to do with the Zhou family, and I've even just heard of Lord Zhou Yu's name, and I don't have any intersection. Zhao Tianyuan forced his composure and said slowly.

"No intersection?" Hearing the words of the second prince, the first to speak was not Dean Hu, nor the old prince and the general, but Zhou Xingyun, who was paralyzed on the ground, when he was panicking, he suddenly heard the words of the second prince, and instantly felt that the second prince was planning to lose the car to protect the handsome, where could he stand this, thinking that if the net was not broken, the fish would die, where was there such a cheap thing, so he stood up, looked at the second prince and said angrily:" My Zhou family has done so many things for you, and now you want to wash yourself cleanly, it's too much!"

"Yun'er, what are you talking nonsense!" Hearing this, Lord Zhou Yu finally couldn't stand still, Zhou Xingyun's words undoubtedly put the entire Zhou family in, and also brought a second prince by the way, his heart was already like ashes, he couldn't figure out how his son, who was doing well in Pingli, could do such a crazy thing today, he walked out of the crowd of officials, came to the old prince and knelt heavily on the ground, muttered: " Lao Xia Mingjian, Zhou Yu's godson is not strict, Xingyun doesn't know what kind of madness he has now, and he actually said so many rebellious words, there is absolutely no relationship between my Huaihe Zhou family and the second prince! The murder of the eldest prince has absolutely nothing to do with my Zhou family!"

"Does it matter?" Dean Hu reprimanded and asked, "Then let me ask you, where are you and who are you with, is there any evidence?"

"Back to the dean's words, that afternoon, after attending the state funeral ceremony of the first emperor, I went back to the mansion and never went out again. Lord Zhou Yu said slowly. "Oh?" a smile crossed the corner of Dean Hu's mouth, he looked at Lord Zhou Yu and said meaningfully: "Since Lord Zhou has nothing to do with Daxia's case, how do you know that Daxia was murdered in the afternoon?"
