Chapter 41: The Kings
Qin Hao, the king of war, hung above the main hall of Weiyang Palace, staring at the magnificent hall in front of him, his bloodshot eyes slowly covered with a layer of mist.
In the past, the old imperial brother and the wise prince were in this palace to meet with the ministers and deal with political affairs. I don't want to leave this palace back then, and a wave of my hand with them will be goodbye. The palace is still the same, but the surname has been changed.
In order to pursue martial arts, he ignored everyone to keep him, left Tai'anmen alone, traveled through the rivers and lakes, and was trapped in the Misty Valley of Southern Xinjiang. After spending more than 20 years coming out, I learned that the current Qin Dynasty had changed owners.
His royal brother and several nephews are no longer alive. And the murderer of them turned out to be his own nephew. For the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to kill his cousin, how sad it was.
He couldn't suppress the pathos in his heart, couldn't help but roar, and a line of muddy tears slowly slid down his vicissitudes of life. His long golden hair fluttered in the air, like an angry lion in his twilight years. The many palaces of Weiyang Palace shook and trembled in this mournful roar, and the glazed tiles fell to the ground with a clatter.
The blood-colored eyes of the war king Qin Hao silently looked down at the dense array of royal forest troops holding bows and crossbows under him. His voice trembled and he shouted, "Li Li, get out of here for this king." ”
The entire Luoyang City fell into a dead silence, and no one answered. Some people appeared sparsely on the rooftops near the bustling Weiyang Palace. More people are hiding in the shadows, watching from afar.
Since he called the emperor by name and accused him of killing the emperor and usurping the throne, this place has become the focus of the entire Luoyang City.
What happened twenty years ago, many people guessed, but for many years no one dared to discuss it in private.
The unyielding courtiers who were loyal to the previous dynasty, and the common people who chewed their tongues have all disappeared silently. It is secretly rumored that the murder of Zhen Guogong three years ago is inseparable from this incident. As we all know, Zhen Guogong was upright, loyal and fearless all his life, and was deeply loved by the military and the people. After returning from the Northwest Frontier, he has been trying to find out the truth.
"You coward, you dare to slaughter the Qin royal family, don't you dare to come out to see me now." Qin Hao, the king of war, roared angrily. The golden light that lingered on his body became more and more brilliant. A ball of light coalesced in his palm, then slowly dissipated.
He wanted to smash the palace complex in front of him, but he remembered that the Qin people had lived here for three hundred years since the First Emperor. How can you go down and destroy this Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the true dragon, how noble it is, how can an unknown person like you see it if he wants to see it." A Taoist man wearing a black and white Taoist robe and holding a dust whisk walked out of a hall like a leisurely stroll. Step by step in the void, ascend to the sky, until you are level with the war king.
"Qi Zhenren has just come out of the mountain, and he can't recognize the famous Zhan Wang Ye twenty years ago, and I ask the Zhan Wang Ye not to blame." The other person bowed on the side and deliberately teased.
Qin Hao, the king of war, didn't seem to see these two people at all, and stared at a figure approaching in the distance. opened his mouth and said, "Ouyang Tong, I didn't expect you to betray the Qin clan too, have I ever treated you badly before?" Qin Hao's voice was as cold as the thousand-year-old ice of the Extreme North.
"In all fairness, the prince did not treat me badly, but did his best to guide me in martial arts, if it weren't for your guidance and promotion, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today." The visitor replied calmly, his face unchanged.
"Then why did you betray my Qin clan." The War King asked.
"Those who know the times are handsome, those who follow the trend prosper, and those who go against the trend forget. There's no betrayal, I'm just going with the flow. The people you see now are all loyal to Your Majesty, and if you have to say that there are traitors here, there is only one, and that is you. Ouyang Tong said, his voice was as usual, without any sense of guilt and anxiety, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. For the sake of the old feelings, I will advise the prince, with the strength of the prince, flee now, maybe there is still a chance to live. ”
"Hahaha, when did I, Qin Hao, retreat, I came here today to take Li Li's dog's head, and you can stop me with just two or three dogs." Qin Hao, the king of war, laughed angrily.
"Shoot the arrows." The second prince, Li Ying, hid in the depths of Weiyang Palace, and ordered with a cold expression while the king of war was speaking.
In an instant, thousands of feather arrows rushed towards Qin Hao, the king of war, and the feather arrows did not shoot him into a hedgehog, but stopped in the air strangely, as if time had stood still.
After a few moments, the feathered arrows reversed course and shot back in the same direction. A large area of the Imperial Guards fell with a rain of arrows.
Li Ying secretly took a breath of cool air, is this the field power of the powerhouse of the King Realm, it seems that he has underestimated the powerhouse of the King Realm too much. He didn't stop, and escaped into the secret room of Weiyang Palace as fast as he could.
"Oh, such a big breath? Let the poor road see how many catties and taels there are. Qi Zhen's figure shook and stepped forward, for so many years, even the emperor treated him with courtesy, and
Today, Qin Hao hadn't even looked at him squarely. It made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The black and white light and shadow came quickly, slamming towards Qin Hao. Even at this time, the War King didn't look at him directly, but just swept it out casually, as if he was sweeping a fly.
"Boom." With a loud bang, a side hall of Weiyang Palace was smashed down by an upside-down figure, and smoke and dust billowed out.
The Taoist priest who was called Qi Zhenren rose to the sky, standing in the air, his face changed, his originally clean and neat Taoist robe was covered with dust, embarrassed, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, extremely light, but shocking.
Zhao Xian, who was on a tall building next to the north square of Luoyang City, saw this scene, and his eyelids jumped. is also in the king realm, is the gap so big, just one blow made that Qi Zhenren injured.
"I'm afraid that the current war king is really not weaker than Murong Yuanshan." He muttered.
The graceful and luxurious woman in front of the window was noncommittal, but took everything in her eyes intently.
It's better to be stronger, and see how many hole cards our noble majesty has hidden.
"Brother Qi is careless, Lord Zhan is indeed very strong, he surpassed the younger generation many years ago, and the three of us really can't stop it." Ouyang Tong said, his voice just fell. Several more figures appeared in the air.
There were a total of seven people, and the war king Qin Hao was surrounded in it.
"It's shameless to have so many people beating up one." Qi Lao blew his beard and glared and shouted.
"There are so many powerhouses in the Weiyang Palace. Isn't it said that the royal realm is extremely rare? Wei Zifu stood next to Qi Lao, staring into the distance. The streets of Luoyang City were empty, and the common people were afraid of suffering from the scourge of the pond fish, so they hid, but there were dense people standing on the rooftops, and all forces and people in the martial arts were paying close attention.
"Ninety percent of the entire empire's royal realm is concentrated in Luoyang City, there are only a few of them, is there a lot?"
"I'm afraid that in order to recruit these strong people, the Li royal family has spent a lot of money." Wei Zifu said.
"If it weren't for the Wei family, the old man really wanted to draw his sword to help." Qi Lao was indignant.
"You're a lot old, and you haven't stepped into the king's realm, can you beat others?" Wei Zifu pouted.
"Hey, dead girl, how do you talk. Except for the bald man and the old witch who could barely hold on to my hands for a while, the other old men had a sword. Qi Lao stroked his beard and said.
"You are the best at bragging, and you are almost as good as the stinky boy surnamed Jing." Wei Zifu mercilessly mocked this unreliable master, and at the same time asked, "What is the origin of those two people?" ”
"The monk of the Blood Sect who has been hidden for a long time, the old demon woman from the Western Regions, these two people are unfathomable, and they may not be much weaker than the War King." There was a hint of jealousy in Qi Lao's eyes.
The war king glanced around at the seven people scattered in all directions, Qi Zhenren with resentful eyes, Ouyang Tong with an expressionless face, an old man as thin as a skeleton, a hideous man with hands like eagle claws, an indifferent swordsman with loose robes, an old woman smiling suspiciously, and a bald monk with his eyes closed.
"I didn't expect Li Li to be able to recruit so many King Realm Eagle Dogs to work for him!" Qin Hao, the king of war, sighed.
"You are indeed very strong, but it's a pity that you are going to die here today." The monk in the yellow and white robe slowly opened his eyes, and the black and white pupils flashed with a terrifying light. He holds a staff in his right hand and a small jade seal in his left palm.
The jade seal that emitted a glowing white light was carved with nine lifelike dragons, but it was only the size of a palm, but it attracted everyone's attention.
This is the inheritance token of the Qin Dynasty, and now it is held by an outsider. Seeing this situation, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel the green tendons on his forehead skyrocket, his anger stood upside down, and his heart was sad and angry to the extreme.
"The Nine Dragons Seal, which carries the luck of the human race. The emperor Lao'er gave this to the bald monk, because he was determined to kill his own uncle and the king of war. Qi Lao said.
"What's so special about this Nine Dragons Seal?" Wei Zifu was puzzled.
"Three hundred years ago, after the First Emperor pacified the world, he united the kings on the Temple of Heaven in the imperial capital to lead the world's luck to gather in four immortal treasures, so as not to lose the luck of the human race. These four artifacts are the Three Great Divine Soldiers and the Nine Dragon Seals, which have survived since ancient times and are indestructible. And the blessing of the luck of the human race has also greatly increased their power. Qi Lao explained.
"Why can't I feel such a thing as luck?" Wei Zifu asked.
"Before you reach the realm, the more powerful people are, the more clearly they can feel those ethereal things. There are some strange people who can also know. ”
"Oh." Wei Zifu was a little depressed, she knew that she might not be able to reach that level in her life.
The eight people above Weiyang Palace were still facing each other, and the entire noisy Luoyang City held their breath. Keeping a close eye on their every move, they all knew that this would be the pinnacle battle of the entire Terran.
They hung in the void, not moving. Near them, even the wind stopped. The fluttering strands of hair froze in an eerie manner. It's as if even time doesn't flow anymore.
That's because the fields of the Eight Kings Realm are intertwined, forming a temporary balance. If someone below the Grandmaster realm enters that range, most of them will be unable to move, as if they are stuck in a quagmire.
"Being able to die under the joint efforts of so many King Realm powerhouses is not an insult to your reputation as a war king. I'm afraid that except for the era when all the kings rose together three hundred years ago, nothing like this has ever happened, and even the short-lived Murong Yuanshan did not have such an honor. The old man said.
He didn't say anything stupid. The person in front of him was the kind of person who was born for battle and martial arts. A person like this will never bow his head and retreat, and he will not have to worry that he will run away, he will only fight until the death.
The swordsman in a loose robe took the lead in pulling out the long sword at his waist, unsheathing it, and dropping it casually, staring intently at the war king.
The rest of the people also showed their weapons one after another.
Although the king of war is upright and sad, he will not be able to see the situation clearly. Li Li has been sitting on the throne for twenty years, and he has long been deeply entrenched, on his own. How can things be reversed?
He is a generation of geniuses, and he is titled by the word war. His arrogance and character are destined for him to write the last legend belonging to the Great Qin royal family in blood in this imperial capital. In this martial country, he must show the strongest posture and not fall into the prestige of the Qin clan.
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, the only battle is to fight.
