"Huh-" Zhang Xiaowu froze, looked up at his former friend standing in front of the Zhengde Palace, he didn't know what to say, for so many years, he understood that he had always deceived himself, he always said to himself, Emperor Dade was threatened and deceived by Gu Yong, Emperor Dade was controlled, and Emperor Dade was still the Emperor Dade. But now it seems that the Great Emperor is no longer the Great Emperor who fought with him, and the Great Emperor wants to kill himself, just because he is the only person who can replace him.

"If I were him, would I do the same?" Zhang Xiaowu thought about it, shook his head and said, "I won't, I can't do it, my heart is not dark enough." ”

"Zhang Xiaowu, why don't you kneel when you see me?" Emperor Dade suddenly asked, his hand pointing at the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army and the White Tiger Army, "Why don't you kneel?" ”

All the generals looked at each other, at this moment even a fool can understand, Emperor Dade and Zhang Xiaowu are like fire and water, one is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses who control the military power of the world, and the other is the emperor of the empire, if they have to choose one, they will not hesitate to choose the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, after all, the emperor will not master the army of 200,000. Years of war have made people more selfish, and they have become more aware of the importance of military power, no matter how high their status and noble status are, they can't stop leading soldiers.

The soldiers resolutely did not kneel, so that Emperor Dade understood that his last counterattack failed, and he finally lost his military power, and his imperial bloodline could not stop Zhang Xiaowu's power. His strength was even less, and he couldn't help but shake it a little, but his hands were still just my grip on the purple gold hammer, barely keeping himself from falling.

Xuanyuan Chenghua wanted to step forward to help his father, but Wang Jingzhi grabbed him and said, "Don't help him, this is the dignity of the emperor." ”

Chenghua cried, looking at his stubborn but thin father, he looked at the master staring from afar, and couldn't help but choke and cry.

"Shut up, don't cry, you're a dragon, not a coward!" Emperor Dade scolded, he had to show up, and he had to gamble. For more than 300 years of the Shenghan Empire, the Xuanyuan royal family ruled this Central Plains, and he guessed that as long as he appeared, most of the soldiers would immediately be loyal to him and abandon Zhang Xiaowu. However, it is clear that he has failed, he has lost his last chance to fight back, and today, it is his last day as emperor. Perhaps, today is also the last day of the Xuanyuan clan as the ruler of the empire, and tomorrow, the ruler of the empire will change his surname.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at Emperor Dade with complicated eyes, he shook his head and sighed, and unconsciously walked slowly to the front of the hall. There are one hundred and hundred steps, a total of ten zhang long, from the bottom to the front of the hall, only one fifth of the time of the pillar of incense.

Wang Yijin was startled, busy in front of him, and said, "My lord, it's dangerous." ”

Zhang Xiaowu pushed him away, smiled faintly, and continued to walk up the steps.

Wang Yijin shouted: "Protect the handsome, if anyone dares to hurt him, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

The sergeants of the Blue Dragon Army and the Imperial Forest Army also followed and approached the Great Emperor and the alien killers. The resolute momentum on Zhang Xiaowu's body suddenly made the killers of the alien race regret it, they would never have thought that there would be someone who would face thousands of troops, let alone that Zhang Xiaowu would approach them directly.

Ten zhang.

Seven zhang.

Five zhang.

Sanzhang.

One Zhang......

Zhang Xiaowu stood on the steps, face to face with Emperor Dade, he saw that Emperor Dade's cheeks were deeply sunken, it should be a long-term illness, he looked at Xuanyuan Chenghua and Wang Jingzhi behind him, Wang Jingyi's face was just like that, but Chenghua grew a lot taller and stronger, but there were a little more complicated emotions in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled faintly and sighed: "You already have the determination to become a benevolent person if you don't succeed, Your Majesty?" ”

Emperor Dade said: "Do you still know that I am Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You are Your Majesty, you will always be Your Majesty, no one can deny it, and no one can change it." ”

Emperor Dade pointed at him and said, "I don't want to be the emperor you recognize, I want to be the emperor recognized by the world." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You don't believe me? ”

Emperor Dade arrived: "Do you think I should believe you?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly undressed himself, he threw his clothes on the ground one by one, everyone didn't know why, and then they saw him naked, but his body was indeed full of scars and holes. You can see how badly he was injured, and how he was dead.

Zhang Xiaowu pointed to his scar and said, "This scar was left by me in Saibei when I was guarding the country for you." This scar is that I was chasing and killing Inuyi and was injured by him. This scar was left by me in the Star Picking Platform to protect you, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here......" As he spoke, Zhang Xiaowu's tears couldn't help but flow out, his sadness was because of betrayal, because he knew that he would lose a friend today, "We used to trust each other so much, we were on the Star Picking Platform, fighting the rebels in blood!" Is that all fake? You tell me? Xuanyuan Zixiao? Is that all fake? ”

Emperor Dade took a step back in shame, his eyes looked at the sunset in the distance, and the sun that was about to set was reflected all over the sky in blood, as if it were today.

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly burst out laughing, laughing insolently, laughing hoarsely. Since he was a child, he has never experienced such a betrayal, he thought that in the battle of the Star Picking Stage, he did everything to be good to a person, and this person was his friend. He still remembered Xuanyuan Zixiao's words to himself that day.

"First!"

"Promise me one thing."

"You become the Father."

"I know I won't see the sun anymore, but you still have hope, you surrender, take my head, they will let you go, you protect Chenghua."

"The empire can do without me, but the empire can't do without you, you can protect the holy Han rivers and mountains, without me and other emperors, without you, the backbone of the holy Han will be broken."

The heartfelt confession before and on his deathbed clearly regarded Zhang Xiaowu as the best brother, and now, the best brother wanted to kill himself. Zhang Xiaowu's heart shattered like a crystal cup falling on the ground, and an unprecedented sense of betrayal and loss emerged, and he couldn't help but say: "You just want me to die like this?" ”

Emperor Dade didn't dare to look into his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "If you don't die, how can I sleep?" If you don't die, how can I hand over the country to Chenghua? If you don't die, how many people in the world still know about the Xuanyuan family? If you don't die, I will die first, and after I die, the nobles of the world will be loyal to you, and they will let you take my place if you don't need to usurp power. So, you must die, you must die before me, I can't help but kill you! ”

"Hehehe, hahaha, ah-ah-ah-" Zhang Xiaowu first smiled bitterly, then laughed, and finally laughed wildly, laughing and laughing with tears flowing.
