Chapter 40: Hidden in the Blood Shadow Refining Sword Palace
Chu Jiangmian held this half-old sword, and after he walked out of the palace, Wang Brother Ji Mo did not send him out again. The person who was ordered to take him out of the palace was General Zidun.
"Prince Jiang Mian, congratulations, congratulations!"
"The summons of the Son of Heaven is a great gift. However, compared to General Zidun waiting in Zichen Palace day and night, it is even more enviable. Hehe! ”
The Praetorian Guard general, who had led him out along the long corridor, looked at the sword with surprise and eagerness. Chu Jiangmian didn't care. He was just casually perfunctory, but his mind was recalling the scene just now.
Zhou Tianzi's every move always made him feel a little strange. From the time he entered the palace until he left, Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, never got up. Could it be that this Zhou Tianzi, who seems to be quite energetic, can no longer move freely? If that's the case, then it would explain why he hasn't been seen in public for so many years. Of course, this was just his guess, but he couldn't ask anyone.
General Zidun obviously had a very good impression of him. When he was in Zhongyue Mountain, it was this prince who first came out and resolved the incident provoked by the Wei people. Moreover, he himself is the son of King Chulie of Zhao, who loves Wu and Wu, so he is naturally easy to be respected. When he walked out with him all the way and said goodbye to the Xuanji Gate of Zichen Palace, he was still waving his hand, and it was not until he walked away in the crowd of waiting people that Zidun went back to guard again.
It's just that Chu Jiangmian, who walked out of Zichen Palace, will never know what happened behind his back.
"Brother Wang, what do you think of this young man?"
Chu Jiangmian had just left. Ji Mo couldn't wait to lean down and stare at Zhou Tianzi Ji Yuan with eager eyes, wanting to know what he thought. Through this period of observation, especially the trip to Zhongyue Mountain, Zimmer is very optimistic about the future of the prince of Zhao. Whether it is his courage or his inner forbearance, it is by no means as simple as just a gentleman as rumored by the outside world. If he finds a way to deepen the relationship between the Zhou royal family and him now, then when he really takes charge of the Zhao state power in the future, he will definitely become a staunch supporter of the royal family.
It was precisely for this reason that he tried his best to envelop Chu Jiangmian, first leaving him and the others in the mansion in the name of recuperating from his injuries. Then he came to the Son of Heaven Ji Yuan and preached the benefits of Chu Jiangmian. In order to let his royal brother take this opportunity to summon him and show favors.
"If he really behaves as you say he is, then what a great young man! Hehe, it's so good...... It's a must-kill! ”
Da Zhou Tianzi leaned on the soft couch behind him, his entire face was covered by shadows, and he couldn't see the expression on it clearly. But the blade that suddenly appeared in his smiling tone made the air around him seem to be a little colder all of a sudden. The attendants all bowed their heads, and Zimmer was taken aback. He thought his ears were misheard, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Wang...... What does this mean? ”
"Xiao Mo, you and my brother have been doing so many years, don't you really understand the meaning of the widow's words?"
Ji Yuan's voice was a little tired. If outsiders hear his name, they will be surprised and inexplicable. Brother Wang Ji Mo is also fifty or sixty years old, but the "Xiao Mo" that comes out of his mouth seems to be accustomed to it. And in fact, that's what he's been called that since he was a teenager.
"Brother Wang! This is absolutely unacceptable! Looking at today, there are very few people who are truly loyal to the Great Zhou royal family. And Zhao Wang Chulie has been extremely supportive of Los Angeles over the years. How can we kill his son? What's more, Chu Jiangmian is not ......comparable to those arrogant and domineering princes and sons. ”
"I've already said it! It's because he's so good, so it's even more sure to kill! ”
Ji Yuan coldly interrupted Brother Wang's words Ji Mo. At this moment, he no longer has the kindness of the previous time, and he is like two people before and after.
Ji Mo looked at his brother who was the Son of Heaven with a stiff face, and his heart was gradually sinking. He knew with absolute certainty that what he had heard was the will of the supreme king! Thirty years ago, in the royal riots caused by Hu Qi's approach to Los Angeles, Xiao Wall was caused by the disaster, and Zhou Tianzi Ji Yuan was seriously injured and almost died. Later, although his life was saved after the full treatment of the world's masters, his legs were disabled and he could no longer walk. And it was then that his temperament changed dramatically. In the Zichen Palace, there is no way out. All external government affairs were handed over to Wang's brother Jimo to handle.
"Brother Wang! Could it be that Chu Jiangmian really has to die? ”
Zimmer accentuated his tone. Everyone in the world thinks that Zhou Tianzi, who has no power, only he and a very few people in the royal family know how terrible the power hidden around him is!
"Xiao Mo, to this day, do you still have the belief in helping the widow restore the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in your heart?"
"Of course! Brother Wang, as a member of the Ji Zhou royal family, everything I have done over the years has been to work hard for this goal. ”
"Well, now the best opportunity has come to us...... I hope you don't live up to the expectations of the widows! ”
"Brother Wang...... I still don't understand, what does this have to do with killing Chu Jiangmian? ”
Zhou Tianzi Ji Yuan smiled faintly. In the mottled light and shadow, half of his face was vicissitudes, and the other half was incredibly young. It's weird to look at. He sighed inwardly. If it weren't for his own body, why would he have to endure in this deep palace for so many years? The sword, tempered by suffering and loyalty, has been waiting too long. He didn't want to wait any longer.
"The world is about to start burning again! Those ambitious guys can't wait for a long time...... The wind and clouds are thunderous, and the heavens and the earth are contending. Hahaha! Originally, I thought that I would never be able to wait for such an opportunity for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Is this providence? I would like to thank God for sending such a generous gift on my 100th birthday! ”
Zimmer looked at his brother Wang with a horrified face. Although in the past, when their brothers were alone, he had also lost his temper several times because of the resentment in his heart. But today, Ji Yuan's sudden crazy appearance made him a little scared.
"Brother Wang, what the hell is going on? Where in the world is there a war...... How come I've never heard of it? ”
"Xiao Mo, although I haven't it yet, it will start soon! You have to look farther, you can't just stare at Los Angeles and Zhongzhou! ”
"I've been busy preparing for birthday celebrations lately, and I really don't know anything about what Brother Wang said. Could it be...... News from the Blood Shadow? Forgive me for being stupid, please make it clear to Brother Wang! ”
There was a slight tremor in Zimmer's voice. If it was really the "Blood Shadow" who sensed something unusual in the world, it would definitely be extraordinary. The people of the world outside Zichen Palace never thought that Zhou Tianzi, who was secretly ridiculed by them as a "divine turtle", had worked hard to hone a "knife" in these wasted thirty years. The name of this knife is "Blood Shadow". It was a force gathered by hundreds of people who were loyal to the Zhou royal family. And among them, there are many people who risked their lives to break into the palace and scold Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, in the past few years. The legend of their mysterious disappearance or death is only to hide the eyes and ears of the world. They are all bloodied and loyal to the restoration of the royal family, until death!
"Xiao Mo, how good it would have been if the widow hadn't been injured by that sword back then...... You won't be so tired today. Look at your hair is all white. ”
Ji Yuan sat up straight, he didn't answer the question just now, but looked at this younger brother who had been with him since he was a child, he had worked hard to maintain the royal family for so many years, but he had never had any other thoughts. It's already extremely rare.
"Brother Wang doesn't have to say this. As long as you can take good care of your body, there is still hope for the revival of the royal family. ”
"Hahaha! Of course there is hope, and there is still a lot of hope! Xiao Mo, now the widow can tell you. Although I am in this deep palace, I am always looking at the world. According to the news that Blood Shadow heard from various channels, a huge change will begin soon. And the state of Zhao in the north is likely to be the gathering point of the forces of this great change. If war really breaks out there, it will be an earth-shattering melee of princes. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to exert the greatest influence of the royal family, when will we wait? ”
"Brother Wang has a long-term vision, being in Zichen, looking at the world, which is admirable. In fact, I have also heard that it is said that Zhao Wang Chulie is injured, and the situation is a little bad...... If it is really because of this reason, it is not impossible for the world to make a comeback. However, if the power of Zhao is damaged because of this, will it be good or bad for the royal family, has Brother Wang thought about it clearly? ”
"There's nothing to think about. Although Chu Lie, the king of Zhao, is also a little loyal, he is nothing in the face of the golden opportunity to revive the royal family. ”
"That'...... Why do you want to kill Chu Jiangmian? ”
Zimmer suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked the question again. He really didn't understand why Brother Wang killed him at first sight. This puzzled him. Ji Yuan was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something. Leaning slightly, he motioned for Zimmer to sit opposite, and then said in a solemn tone.
"There were two reasons to kill him. The first one was very simple, if Chu Jiangmian died, it would arouse the anger in the chest of Chu Lie, the king of Zhao. This living hero, who can be called a tiger, will surely unleash a heaven-shaking force before he dies, tearing his perceived enemy to shreds...... Such a war must be unprecedentedly tragic! Hehe! ”
Zhou Tianzi Ji Yuan's cold laughter sounded chilling. Zimmer held his left placket tightly with his hand, not daring to interject. saw Ji Yuan's gaze turn and stare at him and asked.
"As for the second reason...... Xiao Mo, do you know what Baijiazi said to me when he left Los Angeles and left......? ”
Zimmer's eyes widened and changed color in shock.
