"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

Just when Xie An was looking in the direction of the official residence of the inner city guard mansion in Xiangyang City in surprise and confusion, in the top floor of the four-story attic in the center of the official residence, Li Shen, the king of Qin, was holding a sword and laughing.

Listening to the laughter of Li Shen, the king of Qin, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was shocked in his heart, you must know that he had witnessed the scene when the flood swept near the east gate.

"See?" Glancing at Li Cheng, King of Qin Li Shen snorted coldly and said, "Even Xie An and that Liu Qing don't dare to underestimate the eloquence of this king!" - This king, I could have called the 100,000 Zhou soldiers, ten losses! Even, the whole army was wiped out! ”

Li Cheng, the king of Anling, frowned when he heard this, but he did not refute the words of Li Shen, the king of Qin, after all, the move of Li Shen, the king of Qin, was indeed unexpected, and even Xie An did not expect that Li Shen, the king of Qin, could still use Ling Xun as a means of attack.

Some people may think that the words of Li Shen, the king of Qin, are too full, how can a flood drown 100,000 Zhou soldiers? And in fact, the flood is not the point, the point is that in this cold weather, as long as the flood soaked through the armor, it is almost impossible to survive the cold wind, this is the point!

Pointing in the direction of the east city gate outside the window, Li Shen, the king of Qin, sneered and said, "If it weren't for this king asking his henchmen to smash the ice dam early, the 100,000 soldiers under Xie An's command would have been buried here!" ”

"Do you have mercy?" An inexplicable sneer rose at the corner of Anling's mouth.

"Hehehe!" Qin King Li Shen smiled faintly and said calmly, "At least." This king also thinks that he is a son of the Li royal family, although it is difficult to achieve hegemony. But he never thought that he would bury the 100,000 soldiers of Xie An...... As you said, if Xie An's 100,000 Zhou soldiers are lost, it will undoubtedly make Wu Heng of the Jiangdong Taiping Army bigger...... This king will not do stupid things to marry others! The last sentence of the heart-wrenching sentence poked at the scar in the heart of Li Cheng, the king of Anling.

"Humph! - It's really worthy of being the third emperor brother, and he even thinks about the aftermath so carefully......" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, snorted coldly without compliment, he didn't have any interest in caring whether the words of Li Shen, the king of Qin, were true or false. But one thing is clear to Li Cheng, and that is. Li Shen, the king of Qin, undoubtedly sold face to Xie An and gave 100,000 Zhou soldiers, telling them with his actions that he, Li Shen, could have buried them all here, but he didn't do it. In this way, even if he Qin King Li Shen dies in the future, the Jijing Imperial Court will already feel Li Shen's actions. Give a nickname, and the scenery will bury it in the imperial mausoleum.

For Li Cheng's implicit mocking words, Qin King Li Shen smiled, just as Li Cheng thought, he Li Shen was indeed thinking about the aftermath, after all. The reason why Li Cheng was not removed from the Li royal family genealogy was because their father, the former emperor Li Ji Chrysostom Yuyan, was the first, so even the current Great Zhou Tianzi Li Shou was not good at disobeying the will of the first emperor's father and punishing Li Cheng heavily. Today, however, the situation is very different. Li Shen did not guarantee that after he made this treason, Li Shou would not care about his brother's old relationship. He was given a nickname and buried in the imperial mausoleum along with his wife and children, and his biological mother.

Therefore, Li Shen, the king of Qin, who had always been cautious, naturally had to calculate in advance.

"Okay," as if to fulfill some last long-cherished wish, Qin King Li Shen moved his hands and feet, raised his sword and said lightly, "Just like that, Xie An is probably very busy at this moment, if you don't build a bonfire as soon as possible and ask your corporal to dry your feet, wait for an hour, I'm afraid that the 100,000 Zhou soldiers can only crawl to Jiangdong to fight Wu Heng of the Taiping Army." - There won't be any trouble for the time being, you and me...... Let's do the math! ”

"I can't ask for it!" Shaking the sword in his hand, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, snorted coldly.

And at this moment, there was a strange crackling sound from nowhere, accompanied by a scorching smell.

"......" Li Cheng glanced thoughtfully at the loft board under his feet.

As if noticing the discoloration on Li Cheng's face, the corner of Qin King Li Shen's mouth raised a sneer, and he said, "This attic has been drenched in fire oil early...... but he was interrupted by Li Cheng before he finished speaking.

"This king knows!" Glancing at Li Shen, the king of Qin, who was a little stunned, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, sneered and mocked, "I just came upstairs, and this king smelled the pungent smell of fire oil......

[Knowing this, you still go upstairs alone?] ]

Li Shen, the king of Qin, was stunned, and he didn't have time to think about it until now that he understood Li Cheng's wishes.

"I see...... I never thought I'd go back alive, did I? Squinting his eyes, King Li Shen raised his sword and put on a posture.

"Ah, since the imperial tomb came out, I never thought about going back alive!" Casually flicking the sword in the middle, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said coldly, "However, even so, this king will watch you die in front of this king with his own eyes!" ”

"It is not yet known who killed the deer!" With a low snort, Li Shen, the king of Qin, stepped forward, and the gorgeous and precious sword in his hand stabbed towards Li Cheng's face.

"Humph!" Raising his hand, a sword flicked off the blade of the sword in Li Shen's hand, and Li Cheng attacked his heart.

"Ding-!"

"Ding, ding, ding!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Shen and Li Cheng, the two princes, fought each other for more than 20 rounds without winning or losing, only the slightest spark that burst out proved that the fight between these two children of the Li royal family was by no means a sword dance like a fist and an embroidered leg.

It is hard to imagine that these two children of the Li royal family, who are not known for their martial arts, have such brilliant attainments in swordsmanship.

But having said that, in fact, the former emperor Li Ji was very strict with his sons, except for the ninth son of the emperor who left the palace since he was a child, that is, Li Shou, the current son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the other eight princes, when they were young, were taught martial arts by the swordsmanship of the northern army guards in the palace. Just like Geng Nan, the god general of the former Tianshu, he also taught the former prince Li Wei swordsmanship, and the fourth son of the emperor, Li Mao, the king of Yan, even worshiped under the Liangqiu family of the Donggong Mansion.

In fact, it is no wonder, after all, the eloquent former emperor Li Ji was originally a king with both civil and military skills, and he knew that as a king, in addition to knowing how to govern and govern, he could not be inferior to martial arts, so he asked his sons to be able to be civil and martial since he was a child.

Although it is not as good as the generals who were born and died on the battlefield like Fei Guo and Ma Dan. It can't be compared with the world's big heroes such as Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Dance, and Zhen Leina, but it is undeniable. Several princes and princes all have brilliant but lethal swordsmanship, but this skill was only used as one of the criteria for determining whether or not to be a prince. In fact, even the Eight Sages King Li Xian is also good at swordsmanship.

I have to say that compared to Li Ji's sons, the descendants of the vassal kings in various places are really too unsuccessful.

This idea also appeared in the heart of Li Cheng's cousin Li Yan.

[King Li Shen of Qin...... Li Cheng, King of Anling......]

Secretly muttering the names of Li Shen and Li Cheng in his heart, Li Yan stood outside the pavilion of the City Guard Mansion. Together with dozens of other Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guards who had not withdrawn from Xiangyang, they looked up and watched the fire in the attic spread upwards from the ground floor little by little.

"Seriously...... Don't you put out the fire? Beside Li Yan, there was the unbearable voice of an Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave guard.

[Fire ......]

Li Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, they had been standing downstairs for a while. It could almost be said that they watched the building slowly burn up.

"Undertaking ...... He's still ...... inside," another Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guard said in a hesitant tone.

"I know!" Li Yan frowned and snorted.

The dozens of Imperial Tomb Dragon Nuwei present were silent, not because they were drunk by Li Yan. In fact, they all know that after all, as Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said, this pavilion can be said to have been doused with fire oil, and who can't smell such a viscous and pungent smell?

However, their little brother, Li Cheng, the king of Anling. He walked in without hesitation, and here he saluted them one by one.

Even a fool can figure out what this means!

Looking up at the pavilion that was gradually completely submerged by the fire, Li Yan sighed lightly and muttered. "What should be said, everything has been said. Those who should be persuaded have been persuaded...... The only thing I can do right now is to stand here and watch quietly...... Quietly waiting for the results ......"

"......" dozens of Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guards bowed their heads and were silent.

As Li Yan saw, the fire on this attic gradually burned more and more, and even in the end, the flames had jumped to the attic on the top floor, ruthlessly devouring everything in the attic inch by inch, but on the top floor of the attic, Li Shen, the king of Qin, and Li Cheng, the king of Anling, the two kings with the most noble blood in the world, were still fighting mercilessly.

In such a fight that does not defend each other and only focuses on attack, even fierce generals such as Fei Guo and Ma Dan may be frightened.

The two of them had been fighting for a long time, and their clothes had already been torn everywhere, and even wisps of blood slowly gushed out along the wounds, dripping on the blackened cabinet that had been roasted by the flames, making a strange sound.

However, Li Shen and Li Cheng's eyes did not change in the slightest, as if they only had each other in their eyes, and they did not notice the increasingly dangerous environment around them.

"Poof—"

Finally, the sharp sword in the hand of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, pierced the chest of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

"Whew-"

The warm and bright red blood instantly stained the royal robe on the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and his eyes widened, looking at the fifth brother in front of him, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, in disbelief.

"Since when did your swordsmanship become so masterful?" Spitting blood, Qin King Li Shen asked with some incomprehension.

"Poof—"

When blood was splashed, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, indifferently pulled out the sword body that pierced the chest of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and said lightly, "Three hours a day, persist for three years, you can also do this!" ”

"Yes...... Is it? In response, the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin, fell on the floor of the pavilion with a thud, although he did not lose his breath immediately, but he was spitting blood, and he was afraid that he could not say any complete words.

"Hmph, hahahaha!" Seeing Li Shen, the third emperor brother who was about to die in a pool of blood at his feet, Li Cheng, who finally got his wish, couldn't help laughing.

However, at this moment, a white water sergeant suddenly appeared from the cabinet on the side, holding a sharp blade and stabbing into the vest of Li Cheng, the king of Anling.

[What?!] ]

Li Cheng was shocked and angry, endured the pain, held his breath, turned around and hacked the soldier who attacked him to death with a sword, but immediately fell to the ground because of the fatal wound on his body.

"Hah...... Hahaha...... "Seeing the angry Anling King Li Cheng fall to the ground, the corner of the Qin King Li Shen's mouth raised a little sneer. Spitting blood, he mocked, "It's really not good to learn." Old Five...... You're so similar to the dick, cough, cough...... You know, before the end, no one can say what the outcome will be! ――I'm sorry, but in the end, the king watched ...... Cough. Look at you and breathe ......"

"Oh? Really? A cold ridicule made Li Shen, the king of Qin, change his face slightly, because he saw that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who was obviously pierced by a knife blade in his heart, actually struggled to stand up again.

"I thought you suddenly changed your sex when you were dying, but I didn't expect that you were still so despicable!" I endured the pain in my heart. Li Cheng, the king of Anling, glared angrily at Li Shen, the king of Qin, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Sure enough, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it fiercely into the heart of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

only heard a pop, but the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin, was pierced by a sharp sword. Even the loft that he had fallen was pierced by the sword.

"The one who has the last laugh...... It's still the king! Sonorously spit out a sentence, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, twisted the sword body violently, but when he heard a muffled sound, Li Shen, the king of Qin, widened his eyes. The head lifted slightly, and then slammed into the loft. The sparkle in his eyes faded.

"Ha, hahahaha......"

Li Cheng, the king of Anling, laughed heartily, and at this time, the attic was already full of fire, and the choking black smoke only smoked Li Cheng to stand unsteadily. Of course, the most important thing is the sharp blade that goes deep into the body.

"......" looked deeply at Li Shen, the king of Qin, who had already swallowed his breath, Li Cheng glanced at the crumbling attic, and raised his hand to pull out the sword inserted in the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

It is not difficult to guess that the fifth master most likely intends to follow what he once said to Xie An, and kill himself after sniping Li Shen, the king of Qin, so that even if he dies together and returns to the Yin Cao, he Li Cheng can still tie up Li Shen and bring him to the former prince Li Wei.

But unfortunately, because Fang Cai's sword pierced the ground too deeply, the blade was stuck in the wooden board of the attic, and with Li Cheng's fading strength, it was really difficult to pull his sword out of the enemy's body.

"Damn! - Even if you die, will you still oppose this king? ”

Scolding bitterly, Li Cheng leaned against the wall and slowly walked to the place where Li Shen was sitting, although he knew very well that his time was short, but looking at the fire in the attic, maybe he would suffer again before he took his last breath.

"Bastard thing!" Sitting on the seat, Li Cheng looked at the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and cursed again, although he had already realized death, it did not mean that he was willing to taste what it would be like to fall into the fire cave from the height of the fourth floor before he died.

Suddenly, Li Cheng was stunned, as if he remembered something, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and after pouring out the pill the size of a little finger in the medicine bottle, he casually threw away the bottle.

That was the poison that he Li Cheng asked Gou Gong for, in order to deal with the current embarrassing situation. After all, Li Cheng at that time could not guarantee whether he would still have the strength to raise his sword and cut his throat after killing Li Shen, the king of Qin. In addition, cutting one's throat is a technical job, and if the position of the cut is not good, death can definitely die, but the problem is that before death, you will inevitably suffer a pain that is worse than death.

You must know that when Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, was stabbed and cut his throat by Jin Ling'er in the prison of the Great Prison Temple, Li Chengke witnessed Li Xian's extremely painful expression at that time, although the fifth master was also a ruthless person, not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself, but this does not mean that the fifth master was willing to try Li Xian's suffering at that time before he died.

Because of this, when Li Cheng bumped into Gou Gong, a former subordinate, when he entered the city, he asked him for this poison, after all, Gou Gong was good at using poison, and Li Cheng was also quite clear. According to Gou Gong, who was reluctant at that time, the medicinal power of this poison was very domineering, which could be called a blood seal throat, and this was exactly what Li Cheng needed.

Throwing the poison into his mouth with his right hand, which had gradually become weak, Li Cheng chewed as usual, as if what he had swallowed was not the poison that sealed his throat with blood, but the sweet and pleasant honey.

Chewing and chewing, Li Cheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Damn...... Gou Gong! - Hey, it's not a good thing! ”

At this moment, only a loud click was heard, and most of the wooden planks of the attic collapsed, and the body of Li Shen, the king of Qin, immediately fell into the ground floor that Li Cheng's eyes could not reach, and at the same time, the wooden plank he sat on also made an overwhelming clicking sound.

This is the so-called good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil...... Is it? - Hey! Ha! Hahaha......"

From beginning to end, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was not shocked, and there was no fear in his eyes, even the moment he fell.

And outside the attic, Li Yan and the dozens of Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guards clearly heard the rampant and hearty laughter of the little brother Li Cheng, everyone knew that it meant that Li Cheng had fulfilled his long-cherished wish in this life.

"Let's go......" Sighing slightly, Li Yan and the dozens of dragon slave guards turned around and left, although he had the intention to transport Li Cheng's remains back to the Imperial Tomb, but, with the fire in front of him, he also knew that it was a luxury to find Li Cheng and Li Shen's body.

"Boom!!"

At the moment when Li Yan and the dozens of Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guards turned around, the four-story attic collapsed.

Li Yan subconsciously turned his head, only to find that there was only a sea of fire in front of him.

"Undertaking ......"

-At the same time--

On the wall of the south city gate of Xiangyang, Mo Fei and Gou Gong stood side by side, looking at the official residence of the city guard in the distance, which had already fallen into a sea of fire, with a complicated expression.

"Hey, hey!" For some reason, Gou Gong suddenly smiled suspiciously.

"What's the matter, second brother?" Mo Fei glanced at the second brother of Jieyi suspiciously.

Gou Gong shook the delicate little golden fan in his hand and said in a low voice, "Fang Cai, Li Chengxiang asked for a pill of poison for his brother, and asked for the medicine to be strong and seal his throat when he saw blood......

"And then?" Mo Fei asked incomprehensibly.

"Then ......" Licking his lips, Gou Gong smiled contemptuously, "I gave him a tonic for my brother......"

"The kind that is made for adults?"

"Ahh

"Oh......" Rao is indifferent Mo Fei, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise an arc.

On November 16, the fourth year of the Great Zhou Jingzhi, the rebellion of the Three Kings, the Qin King Li Shen was defeated, and he was afraid of the crime ** in the attic of Xiangyang City, which means that the Rebellion of the Three Kings was finally quelled by the Great Zhou. On the same day, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, died.

As of that day, six of the nine princes under the knee of the former emperor Li Ji died, among them, the emperor's eldest son Li Yong, the former crown prince Li Wei, the third son of the emperor Li Shen, and the fifth son of the emperor Li Cheng did not leave any heirs.

A few months later, when Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, learned of this, sighed lightly, and wrote eight characters as a tribute to his brother.

[Defeat is also a hero, death is also a hero!] ]
