Qi Chongyu, the monarch of Chongjian Kingdom, received bad news early in the morning-

His son died.

The sixth son, Qi Chen, is his favorite son.

"How can this be ......"

He sat on the bed, covering his face in pain.

"Who did it......

"Your Majesty...... It seems to be ...... The crown prince of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom - Heavenly Dao Fenghua. The eunuch at the door bowed.

"What?!"

How is this possible?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Fenghua and Lord Jia Shengsi are all waiting for Your Majesty in the main hall......"

When Qi Chongyu heard this, he didn't care so much, got up in his clothes, and eagerly walked into the main hall.

There have been many people who have been waiting inside for a long time, and when they saw Emperor Chong Sword coming out, they shouted long live.

In the hall, Tiandao Fenghua stood upright, a little too calm.

As soon as Qi Chongyu walked into the main hall, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a corpse placed straight on the ground-

Qi Chen's corpse.

No, it must be a dream...... What a terrible nightmare......

He only felt a slight tremor under his feet, and then slowly walked towards his son.

I saw that on the wooden platform inlaid with gems, Qi Chen crossed his hands on his chest, there was no trace of blood on his face, he was lying there, his body was stained with blood, and a short sword was clearly visible on his chest, cold and cruel to take his young life.

Emperor Chong couldn't believe it was true.

His favorite son, who was alive and well before, how could he become like this after a few days of not seeing him......

"Who is it?" He turned around viciously and looked into Heavenly Dao Fenghua's eyes, "Why did you kill my son?!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The crowd below hurriedly shouted.

Tiandao Fenghua was stunned for a moment, and there were not too many emotional ups and downs on his face, as if the person standing in front of him was not an emperor who was extremely angry because of the pain of losing a child and held power.

Maybe he had seen too many deaths a long time ago, and at this time yesterday, he was still chatting with the guards as [Fan Yuze]......

Tiandao Fenghua came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, although I feel extremely sorry and frustrated, but it is more accurate that he did die by suicide. ”

"What?! How is this possible? Chong Sword Emperor grabbed his shirt and looked like crazy, "How could he commit suicide, what stupid thing are you talking about?!" ”

"Your Majesty......" The coroner on the side trembled and kowtowed, "Please calm your anger, but ...... Judging from the results, it is indeed ...... It was His Majesty Qi Chen himself who stabbed the short sword into the chest......"

"What?!" Emperor Chong Sword turned around and looked at the coroner who was prostrate on the ground in disbelief, "How dare you say such a thing, if the result is wrong, do you know the consequences you face?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Wechen didn't dare to ......"

So...... Is it really ......

"Impossible, impossible, Qi Chen still has a lot of things to do, how can it be that at this time, you must be deceiving me, you must be deceiving me, right?"

However, when his eyes scanned the crowd, their expressions told him that it was all true......

Including the corpse, which will never wake up, is also narrating this fact.

"Your Majesty," Tiandao Fenghua said, "If you really insist, I am willing to fight with death, if it can really eliminate the hatred in your heart, but I only have one request," Tiandao Fenghua said here, pausing, "That is, I hope you can enforce the ruling yourself." ”

This little bastard actually wants me to kill him myself......

This time, Chong Sword Emperor was a little confused.

If you really want to kill him, then it's also a no-brainer.

It's just that the consequences to be borne may be a war with the Heavenly Sword Kingdom.

This vicious little bastard, didn't I dare to kill him if I ate him to death?

"Okay, that's what you said."

The Chong Sword Emperor pulled out the matching sword from his waist, and then raised it flat, holding it against the throat of Heavenly Dao Fenghua.

Tiandao Fenghua closed his eyes calmly, although he felt that he was a little far away from the goal, but it would not be bad if he could get the body of the Chongjian Monarch......

The faces of everyone in the audience changed drastically.

"Your Majesty is angry......"

If this sword goes down, it is equivalent to declaring war on the sword country, but ...... The national strength is not enough, the preparation is not enough, Your Majesty is too rash......

At the last moment, the great eunuch hurriedly ran in from the side hall, shouting as he ran—

"Your Majesty, I just received a message from the Heavenly Sword Emperor, he said that he would come over within three days, hoping that you can calm your anger and ease your grief...... If he could, he said he wanted to have a conversation with you using the Qiankun Mirror......"

This old bastard actually got the news so quickly......

Emperor Chong calmed down a little and put his sword back into its sheath.

……

After some bargaining, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom agreed to compensate for the loss of the Chong Sword Kingdom this time, but because Qi Chen committed suicide, fortunately, he committed suicide, so he saved the life of the Heavenly Dao Fenghua, and as compensation, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom transferred 100 billion Heavenly Dao coins from the treasury to the Chong Sword Kingdom, and divided a piece of resource land to the Chong Sword Kingdom.

The two monarchs re-concluded a contract, and the Rushing Sword Kingdom would no longer be a vassal state of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, but would be treated as an ally state of equal status and would live in friendship.

The garrison of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom in the territory of the Chong Sword Kingdom will be evacuated within seven days.

Although he lost his most beloved prince, it was a good thing in terms of results.

After the end of the sword sacrifice ceremony, the Chongjian Kingdom will become the first free country among the twelve kingdoms.

However, everyone knows that a truly free country needs strength to guarantee it, even if the Heavenly Sword Kingdom promises more at this time, it is actually just some empty words, and real money and that resource land are the real benefits.

After this incident, Emperor Chong Jian also understood one thing-

You have to speed up the cultivation of military strength as soon as possible, otherwise you will only continue to be bullied by the Heavenly Sword Country.

Qi Bufan, as Qi Chen's personal guard, has an unshirkable responsibility, but the whole country, it is estimated that no one will be able to reach his eleventh realm, but at this time, it is the time to employ people, Emperor Chong Jian only punished him with thirty lashes, and then promoted him to the commander of the imperial army in the imperial city, as a future war deployment.

Although Qi Chen is dead, he has trained a group of Dark Deadpools for the Chong Sword Emperor, which is a rare force.

The Chong Sword Emperor can just come in handy.

On the surface, the two countries are harmonious, but in fact they are secretly tense.

For the rule of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom for more than a hundred years, the Twelve Kingdoms have long been dissatisfied, and if it were not suppressed by strength, it would have triggered a new round of the Thirteen Kingdoms War.

The smell of gunpowder smoke gradually diffused......

Just waiting for an opportunity.
