Chapter 53: Breaking into the Palace Alone
A few days later, Yi Cheng came to Zhao's mansion, found Zhao Deyuan, and talked with him in the study for half an hour, Zhao Deyuan left home and went straight to the palace, Yi Cheng found his younger brother again, and Zhao Tianci came to Zhaofu Garden, it was winter at this time, the flowers in the courtyard withered, and only a few evergreen trees still hung these greens.
Yi Cheng looked at the depressed scenery of the garden, with a look of memory on his face, and said to Tianci: "It was also this season, my mother and I fled all the way to Tiannan City with you, and I was helpless at that time, thinking in my heart, if my father was here, I would not let our mother and son suffer these things, and it would be great if my father was still alive!" ”
When Tianci heard this, his face was also sad, and he said to Yi Cheng: "Big brother, what kind of person is my father?" I asked you before, you didn't say anything, can you tell me today? ”
Yi Chengdao: "Father is a man who stands up to the sky, and he didn't tell you before because he didn't want you to know some things, and now it's time to tell you." ”
Zhao Tianci waited for Yi Cheng with an expectant face, half a year ago Yi Cheng told himself about his life experience, but he always refused to talk about his father's life, Zhao Tianci thought in his heart that his father had done something bad, so the eldest brother was reluctant to mention it, and he was more or less disappointed in his heart, the child always had great pride in his father, and always hoped that his father could do anything.
Yi Cheng continued: "Do you know which general was the most famous in Qi and Chu before the unification of Qi State? ”
Zhao Tianci has been extremely familiar with these since he was a child, and he opened his mouth and said: "The most famous of the Qi State is the general Zhou Kang, and the most famous of the Chu State is the general Yi Anguo. ”
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Yi Chengdao: "Big brother, do you mean to say that my father is Yi Anguo, the general of Chu State?" ”
Yi Cheng looked at Zhao Tianci and said: "Yes, my father is Yi Anguo, the general of Chu State, one of the generals who followed King Xiang and died on the bank of the Tianfeng River. Now do you know why I didn't tell you this? ”
When Zhao Tianci heard this, his face was full of horror, and he didn't know how to accept this fact.
He is the son of Yi Anguo, who is a general of Chu and was killed by Emperor Xiaobai on the bank of the Tianfeng River.
He was adopted by the right minister of Qi and accepted as a disciple by Gu Nanxin, who was dedicated to protecting the Chu State.
Zhao Tianci really didn't know what to do at this time, looking for the emperor to avenge the killing of his father, then no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it is not only himself or the emperor who will die, but the entire Zhao family will be affected.
If you don't take revenge, as a son of man, you can't avenge the murder of your father, but you have to be loyal to the enemy, how can he accept the act of recognizing the thief as his father.
Zhao Tianci leaned weakly on the wall behind him, looking struggling and in pain.
Yi Cheng was also heartbroken when he saw his younger brother like this, but he had to tell his younger brother these things first, otherwise once something happened, his younger brother would be even more caught off guard, and now telling him would at least give him a buffer space.
Yi Cheng stepped forward and patted Tianci on the shoulder, hugged him in his arms, and remained silent, letting only an eighteen-year-old child make such a difficult choice, Yi Cheng couldn't bear it.
After a long time, Zhao Tianci stood up and said to Yi Cheng: "Big brother, you let me be alone for a while, I want to think about it!" ”
Yi Cheng nodded when he heard this: "I am going to see the emperor in three days, you make your own choice before that, no matter what you choose, I will not blame you." ”
Zhao Tianci was shocked when he heard this: "Big brother, do you want to assassinate His Majesty?" ”
Yi Cheng was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "Don't I have a reason to kill him?" ”
Zhao Tianci was silent, Yi Cheng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, you go back to the room, sometimes many things can't be both, just follow the choice in your heart." ”
Then Yi Cheng left the Zhao Mansion and found a hotel to stay, and no one bothered him for the past few days, so that he could plan what he was going to complete with peace of mind.
Three days later, Yi Cheng came to the gate of the palace alone early in the morning, holding the Qingfeng sword, and walked calmly to the palace step by step.
The Imperial Forest Army guarding at the gate saw that Yi Cheng could not be reported, and he broke into the palace with weapons, how could he stop with him, and rushed out dozens of people to surround Yi Cheng in the center.
Yi Cheng didn't talk nonsense with them, and with a wave of his hand, he beat these guards on their backs, and fell to the ground injured one by one, but Yi Cheng had no intention of killing, so he didn't die.
Yi Cheng went all the way in, and more and more Imperial Forest troops were dispatched, although they saw that Yi Cheng was extremely powerful, they still rushed over one by one without fear of death.
Yi Cheng came in all the way, and all the Imperial Forest soldiers were temporarily unable to stand up after being injured and fell to the ground, but they did not hurt their lives, which shows the subtlety of Yi Cheng's use of strength.
Yi Chengjue couldn't do this half a year ago, but after a few months of teaching by his master, although Yi Cheng is still a martial king, his use of strength is not the same.
Not long ago, Yi Cheng had come to a huge square, and as far as the eye could see, this square was about a thousand zhang in size, and behind the square was the Jinluan Hall where the emperor and the courtiers discussed.
At this time, the square was full of royal forest troops, and the number was no less than 10,000.
Standing at the forefront was an old man with gray hair, who was over the age and a little sluggish, but the momentum on his body was not underestimated.
Yi Cheng was a little surprised when he saw this person, but after thinking about it carefully, it became clear that this old man had the cultivation of a martial king, which was equivalent to that Gu Nanxin, and they all said that there was only one martial king in the royal family, but he didn't want to have another person here today, so he thought that he should have something to do with the royal family, otherwise it would be difficult to invite a strong martial king who was more than a few years old.
All of these people are working hard to cultivate in order to step into the innate in their lifetimes.
Yi Cheng walked ten steps in front of the man, stopped, held a sword in one hand and a fist in the other, and said, "How to call this senior, Yi Cheng is polite." ”
The old man's eyes flashed, and he stared closely at the sword in Yi Cheng's hand and said, "No wonder you have such cultivation at such a young age, you are a disciple of Senior Song." You don't have to call me senior, first, you and I are quite compatible, and second, when Song seniors became famous, I was not as old as you, you are his disciples, and we are also equals. Is Senior Song okay? ”
When Yi Cheng saw him mention his master, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes and said, "The family master has already traveled west not long ago!" ”
When the old man heard this, he also said with emotion: "How high-spirited the predecessors of the Song Dynasty were back then, hey, the years are ruthless, and I am now in the last years." My name is Zong Langchao, although I am not worshiped by the Qi State, but I also have some relationship with the Qi State, if you want to pass through here today, you must defeat me first. Although you have extraordinary qualifications, and you have great hope of entering the Martial God in the future, it will not be easy to defeat me now. ”
When Yi Cheng heard this, he said to Zong Langchao: "Since this is the case, Yi Cheng has asked for advice, I have to go in this Jinluan Hall today, and those who stand in my way will die!" ”
After speaking, Yi Cheng unsheathed the sword, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Zong Langchao, and the momentum on his body was no longer suppressed, and all of it was released.
Zong Langchao saw Yi Cheng's performance, and his contemptuous thoughts were also put away, although Yi Cheng was young, he was not weaker than himself at all, otherwise the boat capsized in the gutter would ruin his reputation.
Zong Langchao also pulled out his sword, only to hear a dragon groan, and the crisp sword sound pierced the sky.
Zong Langchao looked at Yi Cheng who was ten steps away, and said: "The sword name is Longyin, a divine soldier that has been passed down for thousands of years, the old man hasn't used weapons with people for a long time, you are very good, you are worthy of being taught by a congenital master." ”
Seeing this, Yi Cheng also said: "The sword name Qingfeng is passed on to the teacher, please advise!" ”
After speaking, he didn't stop, and swung his sword to attack Zong Langchao.
The two of them waved their swords at each other in front of the tens of thousands of imperial forest troops, but when they saw the two groups of figures staggered, it was almost incredible, except for a few martial arts sects with advanced cultivation in the field, the others had long been unable to distinguish who was who.
The two silently parted after a fierce fight, and a long opening on Yi Cheng's left shoulder stretched from his shoulder to his chest, although it did not hurt his viscera, but he also bled incessantly.
And Zong Langchao was even more miserable, with more colors on his body, messy clothes, and his left abdomen was torn open, if it was a little deeper, it would hurt the vital point.
It shows how fierce the fight between the two is.
Zong Langchao barely stood up, and couldn't help asking: "How is it possible, how is it possible, how can your body have such a strong strength, completely beyond the limits of the human body." ”
It's no wonder that Zong Langchao is unwilling, he fights with Yi Cheng, and the true qi of the sword moves is equal, but every time he is shocked by Yi Cheng's perverted strength, his arm is numb, and at this moment, the right hand holding the Dragon Yin Sword is still trembling.
Yi Cheng cultivates the nameless method, his physical body is strong, and his strength is almost ten times that of ordinary martial kings, although his true qi is not as thick and pure as Zong Langchao's body, but he relies on his perverted physical strength to beat Zong Langchao so miserably.
If it weren't for the most relenting Zong Langchao exchanging injuries for injuries, Yi Cheng would not have that wound.
At this time, two martial arts sects walked out of the Imperial Forest Army and helped Zong Langchao down, and the other Imperial Forest Army immediately set up a formation and surrounded Yi Cheng in the middle.
Seeing this, Yi Cheng knew that if he didn't kill people again, if he didn't say that he couldn't see Xiaobai today, it was a question of whether he could get out alive.
So Yi Cheng's momentum changed, and he exuded a strong murderous aura all over his body, and he was about to rush into the crowd to kill.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the rear of the Imperial Forest Army: "Your Majesty has an order, all the Royal Forest Army will retreat, and Yi Cheng, the general of Xuan Chu State, will go to the palace!" ”
