The army of Qi was lackluster in this war. But when this team of 1,000 people in full armor entered the square, it was still very eye-catching. These people who were specially selected were all soldiers who guarded the royal city. They walked over with their bright armor and cheers.

The general who leads the team is also a great general in the army. He knows that today is a big deal and a great responsibility. Therefore, every guard of honor has been told to show their spirit. No matter what you say, you must not lose face in front of King Zhao and those Zhao people.

The brilliant achievements of Zhao's army made him and his subordinates very envious. Earlier, they had already seen those cavalry outside the city gate, and when that iron-blooded fierce aura came to them, all they thought about was when the army of Qi would be so powerful.

More than 1,000 Qi troops walked under the peacock platform in unison, and everyone watched. King Qi also smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand. The honor guard general's heart was excited. He hurriedly gave an order, and according to the ritual steps that had been laid down long ago, he sent someone to the stage to present the military ritual sword.

This is a ritual that has been handed down from the time of the first kings of the Qi Kingdom. Originally, when the army went out, the king of Qi personally ascended the altar. According to the rules, the king of Qi needs to take the knife and slash it in the direction of the expedition, which means that the flag is victorious and the horse is successful.

There is also a situation that after the triumphant return of the army, the king of Qi also needs a "sacrificial sword". The significance of this time is to celebrate the victory and pay tribute to the souls of those who died in the war. The king of Qi personally opened the way with a sword, which was to clear the demons and monsters on the Huangquan Road for them.

At that time, the state of Qi was strong and mighty, and once dominated the princes. Frequent battles, naturally accustomed to this. It's just that later, generation after generation, the heirs no longer have the ambition of their ancestors. The solemn ritual of "sacrificing the sword to open the way" has also been simplified day by day, until it has become a mere formality, and has lost its original meaning.

Today, however, Qi finally achieved another exciting victory. Of course, we have to take out this set of "sacrificial knife" rituals that have not been shown for many years. It is still very effective in encouraging soldiers and inspiring the hearts of the people.

The person in charge of holding the knife was a lieutenant colonel. Such an important thing, of course, must be done by choosing someone who does things solidly. And this middle-level school official named Yunju has always been able to do things effectively and is loyal to the royal family, so he is the most suitable person. The general was very relieved of him, and the honor guard temporarily stopped at the foot of more than ten steps, and more than a thousand Qi troops raised their hands and shouted in unison! Then, they needed to wait until the King of Qi personally "sacrificed the knife" before escorting the honor guard knife to leave.

The school officer, holding a knife in both hands, walked up to the peacock platform and bowed in front of King Qi. The knife is heavy, and the red silk streamers are very bright. Drums were beating all around, people raised their arms, and many people had excited faces on their faces. The three-way drum stopped, and the cheers stopped for a while. Qi Wang Tian Jiang nodded to Chu Jiangmian and motioned for him to wait. Then he stepped forward, burned incense and put it on the tribute, and after praying to heaven and earth, he reached out and took the sword.

Chu Jiangmian, who had been smiling since he stepped onto the Peacock Terrace, felt a little bored. These cumbersome rituals were simply torture for him. Although, when he set off from Linzi City, Master Meng Que and others had briefly mentioned these things to him in advance, but when he experienced it himself, it still made him smile bitterly.

Formalism kills people! If the so-called ceremonial state is all these flashy things, then it is better not to have it! Fortunately, this large set of tedious ceremonies is almost over. He stood one step behind the left side of the King of Qi, looking at the enthusiasm of the people, and was already thinking about what he was going to do in the Qi Kingdom next.

At this time, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and he saw a Thousand Machine Pavilion spy who came with a body full of wind and dust appearing in the field of vision, and he said something to Bai Ye, who had been standing by the Peacock Terrace. Then, Bai Ye quietly walked behind him and whispered.

"There is urgent news, from the ...... of Zhongzhou."

Chu Jiangmian quietly took the information in his hand and glanced down, his face slightly stunned. However, he didn't say a word, only nodded to Bai Ye, indicating that he knew. White Night turned and walked away. And Lan Lingjun, who was standing not far away, obviously noticed the change in Chu Jiangmian's expression, although he didn't know what was happening, he instinctively had a premonition that there must be an emergency.

Lan Lingjun was a little worried. Seeing that Qi Guo was about to usher in an unprecedented good situation, he didn't want any accidents to happen at this critical moment. His identity is special, he is not better than others, he looked up and saw that King Qi had reached out to take the knife, expecting that the ceremony would end soon, and when he was about to walk over and ask Chu Jiangmian a few words, how did he expect that suddenly a wind swept by, and the change happened at this time!

The gust of wind came very strangely. The sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly overflowed with a black cloud. Flags sounded, sand flew away. Lan Lingjun almost watched the school officer holding the knife with a cold smile on his face, and then took advantage of the strong wind, pulled out the long knife, shook it in the wind, and split Huashan with ten thousand wisps!

"Watch out for ......!"

Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao's body stiffened suddenly. His eyes widened and he changed color in shock. As the first person to notice the change, it can be said that he was very frightened. He almost changed his tone when he heard the subconscious exclamation from his mouth.

This royal nobleman of the Qi country can be called one of the four princes in the world, and he is naturally well-informed and not surprised. Over the years, he has seen more things in the vassal states of the world. In normal times, even if someone drew a sword and killed someone under his nose, his expression would not move. If he didn't even have this concentration, Lan Lingjun wouldn't be able to get to where he is today.

However, the scene that was happening in front of him made him feel distracted, and he clearly realized that he should draw his sword to help, but his hands and arms did not obey the call, and in his eagerness, the sword could not be pulled out. Because, the situation is too serious!

At this moment, many people finally reacted. On the peacock platform, someone took the opportunity to make trouble and drew a knife to commit murder. The King of Qi and the King of Zhao standing on the high platform were only a stone's throw away from the Assassins!

However, even the fastest responders are already a little too late. The assassin wielded a blade with a thunderous roar, using up all his cultivation, aiming to kill with one sword! His target is not King Qi, but King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao!

Lightning and flint, life and death in an instant. The sharp assassin was gone, his eyes were already ignoring everything around him, he only stared at his prey fiercely, this knife down, he was confident enough to definitely split the opponent in half.

This is really even God has to help! After planning everything in detail, he didn't expect that when he climbed the peacock platform, there would be a sudden gust of wind. The people around them narrowed their eyes or covered their faces with the sleeves of their robes to avoid the wind and sand. Such a good opportunity, if he can't seize it, then he will be the stupidest assassin in the world.

Even without the help of this gust of sand, there is still confidence in success. Because, he is departed! One of the most fearsome assassins in the world. He has never missed, as long as he is the prey he targets, the end can only be death!

On the peacock platform, when the wind and sand first rose, Chu Jiangmian just raised his head, and his hair bun was blown by the wind, blocking his vision. But that ray of sword light came out of the sheath and had already fallen into his eyes. At the same time, he heard Lan Lingjun's hoarse warning, and out of an instinctive reaction to the danger, he didn't have time to think about it at all, he raised his leg and kicked the red sandalwood tribute case in front of him away. Then he easily pushed King Qi's huge body aside.

With a "click", the sturdy rosewood was crushed. The knife momentum came too fast, and even if it blocked this moment, Chu Jiangmian still didn't have time to completely dodge. Fortunately, with the help of the reverse thrust just now, his body fell backwards. The knife slashed diagonally across his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip. The white clothes are broken, like butterflies.

After a knife, I was overjoyed. With his feelings, he knew that he had killed Chu Jiangmian. Although he was a little surprised by the other party's quick reaction, he still couldn't avoid this knife after all! Originally, if Chu Jiangmian hadn't pushed King Qi away, his sword might have failed, and he would have to trouble making up for it. But since the other party has died by himself, he has died as he deserves!

However, as soon as he turned this thought, the next moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Chu Jiangmian is not dead! Not only was he not disemboweled, but he jumped up from the ground and ducked to the side.

Although he was shocked, he did not panic. With a loud shout, the second knife came out and stabbed directly in the back, dozens of knives sealed the up, down, left and right, and no one could live within the rest of the square circle.

The two knives before and after are just a blink of an eye. King Qi, who fell a few steps away, hadn't reacted yet. After being frightened, his face was full of confusion and soreness, and he didn't understand why King Zhao pushed himself away. Then, he tried to keep his eyes open, and he saw the figure of the assassin who jumped up, viciously trying to kill Chu Jiangmian under the knife.

However, the assassin who did not kill King Zhao with the first knife is no longer likely to have a second chance. The wind and thunder surged, the murderous aura was abrupt, and in the midst of countless exclamations, the peerless swordsman who was dozing off was suddenly awakened. That sword, like a long rainbow, came from the northeast corner of Peacock Terrace!

The swords intersected, and there was a loud bang. The sword that had gathered the Assassin's life's work scattered like sparks, and the knife broke inch by inch until the hilt. Startled, he soared into the sky, trying to get rid of the sudden threat. Unexpectedly, the opponent's sword was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly following the shadow, making it difficult to escape.

"Old Season! Don't let him go, catch him alive! ”
