Fortress Empire
The capital of treason
Liu Ru walked briskly on the gilded floor, his boots studded with iron nails scratching golden scars on it.
If the original owner of this floor saw this, he would have scolded the thief for dragging the corpse out of the five horses, and then smashed the corpse and threw it into his leopard room.
But the original owner could never see it again.
Half a year ago, Liu Ru was still a conscientious and conscientious official in Zhongshu Province, and he couldn't see the hairpin in the pile of curls, but today's Liu Ru has become the prime minister of this empire, in charge of all the internal affairs of this huge empire.
A prime minister should not be present in the capital of a traitorous country, and a prime minister should not wear boots with iron nails.
Because these are combat boots, they can be kicked and stabbed at once, and they can be camped step by step on land, even if they are not good for hand-to-hand combat, a cold kick can poke a few bloody holes in the enemy's body.
This is the boots of the new army, and the prime minister of an empire wears the boots of the new army, and walks quickly in the palace of the rebel king, just because he wants to meet the real master of this empire.
So when the door was pushed open by him, before he could speak, the blonde emperor inside raised his head with interest: "It's over?" ”
"It's over." Liu Ru replied succinctly, without the slightest crampedness of a small official, half a year ago, this small official stood up at the last moment of the coup, as an inconspicuous pawn buried by the emperor in front of him, and became a pawn of reversal in the blood-soaked coup d'état in the imperial city.
Everyone thought it was the end, but then he was appointed by the emperor as his first prime minister.
It turns out that in this country, it is difficult to find a better prime minister than this little official.
"King Han asked to see you in person." Liu Ru added: "But according to His Majesty's orders, he was given to death by wine, and now the body has been collected and can be buried or cremated at any time." ”
"Funeral with the Prince's Rites." His Majesty said lightly: "After all, it is my brother who is related to me by blood, by the way." ”
He smiled faintly: "What did that brother scold me in the end?" I'm interested. ”
"It's still the same old saying." Liu Ru also replied lightly.
There was not much awe between the two monarchs and ministers, but there was enough die-cutting that they didn't have to say everything, and the other party could know what he meant.
"It's boring to have no fresh infamy." He rubbed his brows, and seemed to be a little tired: "King Han's family property is cleared, the rewards of the soldiers, and the rewards of those generals are all handed over to you." ”
Faced with such a distribution of duties, Liu Ru did not have the slightest panic, he just suddenly asked, "How long will Your Majesty go out?" “
His Majesty only said the affairs entrusted to him, and the Prime Minister asked His Majesty directly about his Majesty's itinerary.
It was speculation, but His Majesty didn't mind being guessed by him.
"Two months." His Majesty replied to his prime minister with a smile: "There is no problem, right?" ”
"No problem." Liu Ru replied: "Do you need me to do something?" ”
"No need." The blonde majesty replied. "I'm going to Star City, and then I'm going to Ye Ye."
The two places he mentioned, one was the city of the hermit, and the other was the former residence of the saint, but he said it softly and skillfully, and his prime minister also took it lightly and skillfully.
"Understood." Liu Ru bent his knees and accepted the order: "The war will be temporarily suspended, before Your Majesty returns, if you lose an inch of land, please behead Liu Ru." ”
The blond-haired majesty raised his head and smiled, he was amazingly young and equally handsome, and his golden eyes seemed to flow with molten gold.
"The Lanliu Club is about to open, and my sister hasn't seen me for a long time."
He said this, slowly rising from his golden seat.
And beneath that golden throne was dripping with bright red blood, like a river of red blood.
Three hours earlier, he had entered the chamber and killed them all.
His Majesty burned all the corpses, but he didn't deal with the blood, and only then did the blood slowly flow and wet the corners of Liu Ru's drooping clothes.
In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, no, at this time he should be called His Majesty Xi Che.
"Stayed in the smell of blood for too long, too long." Xi Che said.
"It's better to go out for a walk."
……
……
Three days later.
Somewhere in the west, in the middle of a dense forest, a middle-aged man in silver was fleeing in a hurry.
There was a tide of silver stars surging around him, so that even if there was an ancient tree in front of him, he was blind and fearless to crash head-on.
It was originally a tree of the sky that would be bounced back by a giant bear, but in front of him it looked like a papier-mâché window lattice.
In an instant, the ancient wood was crushed into extremely fine dust by the silver starlight, which could not hinder him in the slightest.
Obviously he is an incomparably powerful Heavenly Realm powerhouse.
But he's on the run.
What could be the reason for such a rare Heaven Realm master to flee in such horror?
The only possibility is that he has an even more formidable hunter behind him.
The middle-aged man suddenly stopped, and said in fear to somewhere in the void: "I have already resigned from the identity of the Thirteenth Elder to the Great Elder, and this kind of price is to make up for the mistake of a failed operation, even if it is punished by clan law. Why are you so pressing? “
There were strange ripples in the air, a clean and dazzling silver robe emerged, and Xingxi, who was masked in plain veil, closed her eyes as bright as gold, and shook her head calmly.
The sound of laughter sounded quietly, and it seemed somewhat empty in this dense forest:
"When did the Thirteen Elders learn to beg for mercy from a weapon?"
With the voice, the handsome man with the golden crown calmly walked out of the void, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "The last time I wanted to kill you, I was stopped by this weapon. ”
"And this time, the people who wanted to kill you turned into weapons."
Xi Che said with a sighing tone: "Fate is really a goddess who prefers black humor, but if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be so in love with her." ”
When the Thirteen Elders saw this man appear, they finally understood the reason for everything.
In Lanyin City half a year ago, he had fought with this man, but the battle that he was bound to win was reversed in an instant.
However, at this moment, this man has become the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world, and looking back at this ant that once offended him is like a goshawk looking down.
He couldn't help but tremble because of the dead air force, but his tone finally suddenly realized: "I understand why the clan is so ruthless to me, even at the expense of a Heavenly Realm existence, as the price of that action." “
"So it's all because of you!"
Xi Che smiled, his smile cruel as if the snow wolf on the ice field grinning Bai Sensen's teeth: "Yes, you're not a complete idiot, are you?" ”
"I want your life, so they have to banish you obediently, like a rich tribute to the gods on the high platform."
"If you offended me half a year ago, you should understand that the only thing you have to do is to leave this continent."
"But you organized that extremely stupid [Flame City] as the last straw for your dying struggle."
"It's just that you really don't understand, why Dark Star has acquiesced to the existence of Xicheng for nearly a hundred years, instead of trying to destroy this rival who competes? Is it just a scruple about the existence of the Academy? ”
The most powerful emperor in the world lowered his bright golden eyes slightly, and calmly looked at the Dark Star Elder in front of him: "No, no, no, this is just because, Dark Star does not have the ability to completely erase Xicheng." ”
"You're stupid enough to rush up like this, just to give me a chance to kill you cleanly and completely."
The Thirteen Elders muttered with a dead face, "Even if I don't do this, you will still kill me." ”
"You've completely limited all of my power in the Dark Star." He trembled and said, like an epileptic patient: "No one wants to do such a puppet-like existence." It's just that I don't understand, why are those elders willing to be in the company of you, a hungry wolf? “
"Yes, the vast majority of them have been trying to kill me." Xi Che nodded.
"But the reason is simple." His Majesty smiled and replied, "To each his own according to his needs." ”
"I had enough chips in my hand to make the old guys wagging their tails around me in circles. Got it? My esteemed Thirteen Elders. ”
"In the face of interests, we are forever friends, and it is very easy to please an emperor of Sturt, especially me."
"It's just taking advantage of each other." The Thirteenth Elder sneered, "One day, when the two of you lose the capital to cooperate, the other side will devour the other mercilessly, and I would like to know who will end up like this." “
Xi Che was unmoved: "But you can't see it, Thirteen Elders." ”
The Thirteen Elders bowed their heads calmly and knelt down in front of Xi Che.
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty, go to the soup and fire, and do whatever it takes, as long as Your Majesty lets me live to see that day come. For this reason, I am willing to sign a contract with Your Majesty as a master and servant. “
Xi Che was interested: "A slave of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse level seems to be very interesting. ”
There was a glimmer of light in the thirteen elders' cloudy eyes, but it was immediately extinguished.
Then the emperor raised his eyes and smiled: "It's just that I'm not rare. ”
"I like to deal with smart people, but you're so stupid."
The Thirteenth Elder finally showed a desperate panic, originally he thought that with the strength of his Heavenly Realm, as long as he was willing to surrender, then he would definitely not be refused.
However, at this moment the emperor rejected him.
Then Xi Che turned around, leaving a cold sentence.
"I'll leave it to you, sister."
The Thirteen Elders saw Xingxi reopen his clear golden eyes, and his extreme fear of this girl made him scream, and the starry sky all over his body condensed into substance, turning into a silver river and rushing towards Xingxi in the next instant.
And he pulled back sharply, not thinking that such an attack could hurt the other party at all, just trying to delay the time.
A thin silver blade of light flashed away, as fast as lightning.
The silver river was split in two in an instant, and the blade of light broke through the waves.
The silver-clothed woman just raised her icy jade palm and swiped lightly, and then countless ice and snow melted, and then a long river of silver splashed down.
The Thirteen Elders looked at their bodies incredulously—at that moment, they were cut apart, but not a drop of blood was splashed—under the attack of Xingxi's attribute rules, the frost quickly spread throughout the Thirteen Elders' bodies, and the two bodies were covered in ice and snow and immediately shattered into crystalline starlight powder.
Xi Che watched such a once powerful Heavenly Realm powerhouse usher in his final destination like this, and couldn't help but sigh: "I always knew that you were very strong, but I didn't expect that after half a year, you were able to be so strong." ”
"Now you're afraid you can kill me in ten moves."
Xingxi shook his head quietly: "The attack of the simulated Heavenly Dao Sword cannot last, and it is completely defenseless. ”
"According to my calculations, if we fight, I can only defeat and kill you after the one hundred and thirty-fourth move."
"What an honest and unkind girl." Xi Che smiled calmly, not caring at all about the offense in the other party's words towards him, the Emperor of Sturt.
"Mission complete, request next step."
Xi Che shrugged his shoulders, very chic and good-looking: "There is a great hot spring in front, why don't you go and soak together." ”
Xingxi turned her head and asked earnestly without a straight voice, "Is it an order?" ”
Xi Che was defeated: "Just kidding. ”
