Chapter 673: The Empty Sixth Layer
Xiao Changyuan was still calculating what danger there would be on the sixth floor, whether to send people to explore the path or send people to fight in a swarm like the previous layers.
But Xiao Changyu's words not only did not dissuade Xiao Changyuan, but instead inspired him to rush upwards firmly, and quickly strategized last night, and commanded people to step forward to explore the way.
The first batch of cannon fodder stood steadily on the sixth floor, the cool breeze blowing and the rustling of leaves.
They waited for a moment, nothing happened, and looked back at Xiao Changyuan and the others suspiciously.
This operation made Xiao Changchang also confused, and his fingers touched the fan.
Could it be that Xiao Changyu didn't lie to them, there was really nothing on the sixth layer?
He didn't believe it, so he asked them to come down and change his henchmen to go up, but there was still no response.
After confirming it again and again, he dared to let his subordinates continue to go up. But as soon as he touched the seventh floor, the previous six steps suddenly withdrew, and a meter-long steel needle rushed out of the ground, killing all the people who tried to step on the seventh floor.
Shouts of killing came from all directions, and red-clothed protectors swarmed from the east and west, surrounding all the people of the six princes.
Xiao Changyuan recognized these as the troops in the hands of the emperor at a glance, and his heart suddenly became half cold, and he shouted coldly: "Bold! Do you know who this king is? Do you even want to do it to the king today! ”
The Red Protector ignored Xiao Changchang and charged at him with the sharp tip of their spear, assuming a posture of battle.
Xiao Yuanyuan's throat gurgled, he raised his hands and took a step back, "We didn't go up to the seventh layer, we just accidentally ran into it." You! I know you! Cheng Hai! Aren't you your father's man? Why do you want to work for a rebel now? You should know that the crown prince selected by his father was the third elder brother, and the fifth elder brother only got to this position by improper means, he went against his father's will and went against the heavens, Cheng Hai, do you want the Protector Army to serve such a person! ”
Cheng Hai raised his hand, and the Red Protector temporarily put away the spear in his hand.
Xiao Changchang breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and when he was about to say something else to try to persuade Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai opened his mouth and said: "The Red Protector Army is the hole card that belonged to the emperor taught by the first emperor personally, and His Majesty's current position was passed down by the first emperor himself, so we can't count it as a mutiny." However, you, the sixth prince, have crossed this sixth layer, that is, you have broken off the brotherhood with Your Majesty by default, and if you take another step, we will capture you for treason. ”
Xiao Yuanyuan's face turned pale, and he repeated the key words in Cheng Haikou: "Break off the brotherly relationship? ”
Cheng Hai's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said: "When the first emperor set up these eighteen steps, he guessed that there would be people in the future who would fight for this vain prosperity, so he set up the rules of the sixth layer. This layer is for the attacker to think about whether he is willing to ignore the friendship between blood relatives and insist on attacking. You don't know that, do you? ”
Since ancient times, the royal family has been affectionate, but the more affectionate people are, the more they hope that they have family affection that blood is thicker than water.
No one likes to be lonely, and even the strongest people want to have something to rely on when they are sad. This sixth layer is to hope that everyone can calm down, think about it, recall their memories when they were children, and whether they are willing to take a step back, and everyone and Meimei will act as if nothing has happened.
Crossing this sixth layer means that the attacker refuses to retreat, and in this case, then in the future, this relationship between blood and water will be severed, and the relationship will be met by strength.
I will no longer be soft on you, and I will use all my strength to obliterate you every step you take. But if you can beat all the levels and rip me off the top, I'll admit that you have more abilities than I am.
After this sixth layer, there will be more than just a small fight on the first five floors, every step is a killing move. The iron sword and the red protector army are the warnings laid by the first emperor for the younger generations in the future.
"Cut." Xiao Changyuan gritted his teeth.
Cheng Hai's remarks are ridiculous!
"Your Majesty is mediocre today, and I can't resist? Cheng Hai, you keep talking about defending the country and protecting the community, but you can manage the people's livelihood? ”
Cheng Hai glanced at him and said, "If you can think of it, the first emperor can naturally think of it." The annual assessment of the prince will be included in the book, and the difficulty of the steps will also be modified according to the evaluation of the prince and the evaluation of His Majesty. His Majesty is now the best among you, both when he is on this path and when you are stepping on these eighteen steps, and he will receive the highest protection and support from the Protectors. Sixth Prince, if you insist on breaking through this seventh layer, then let me wait to see what you can do! ”
With that, the spears that had just been put down were lifted again, and the tips of the spears radiated a cold chill in the sunlight.
Xiao Changyuan's mind quickly flashed various solutions, and he snorted coldly and retreated into the crowd, hiding himself behind many meat shields, and his rising voice heard that he was in a very happy mood, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it." Today, I will definitely drag Xiao Changting down from a position that does not belong to him in the first place! ”
Cheng Hai pulled out a flower from the spear in his hand and went straight to Xiao Yuan: "Then let me take a good look at your ability!" ”
Capture the thief and capture the king first, Cheng Hai has always had a purpose.
Xiao Changyuan's face turned pale, he retreated again and again, and roared angrily: "Cheng Hai! You are crazy! I am the sixth prince of the Great Liang Dynasty, and your courtiers dare to do something to me?! ”
Cheng Hai did not retreat at all, he killed step by step, and sneered: "The sixth prince said this strangely, I have already made it very clear that since the sixth prince wants to continue to attack, it is to be willing to break off the royal family tree and cut off the relationship with the emperor." Now you are no different from the thieves who broke into the palace to me, so why can't I do anything to you? ”
"You! Licentious! Xiao Changyuan's legs and feet were not good, he hid and stumbled, so he could only rely on the soldiers around him to grab one by one and throw them in front of him, temporarily delaying Cheng Hai's attack.
It wasn't until he withdrew from the main hall of the palace that Cheng Hai's attack stopped, put away his spear and turned to leave.
Xiao Changyuan's face was pale, looking at the bloody all the way, a fart. He sat on the ground, and the fear of his soul spread from the bottom of his heart, and he lingered in his mind.
"Kill !!"
Earth-shattering shouts rang out outside the palace gates, and thick blood seeped into the palace from the high walls.
The sound of horses' hooves rose slowly, and a low laugh came from behind him, without malice, but it made Xiao Chang feel creepy.
He turned his head slowly, and an innocent smiling face came into his eyes.
But it was this innocent and harmless smiling face that almost made him lose his soul.
"Xin, Xin Muyuan?! You—How did you come back! ”
