In the hall, Chu Xiao was lying quietly on the bed, and when he opened his eyes, Bai Wujian's hand knife was already across Chu Xiao's neck.

"I didn't expect you guys to move so fast." Chu Xiao didn't panic much.

"Brother, long time no see." Chu Zhen stepped forward, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Chu Xiao knew that as long as he moved, then Bai Wujian would kill himself without hesitation, and he knew what was called current affairs.

The two brothers sat facing each other, Bai Wujian stood behind Chu Xiao and stared at Chu Xiao's every move, preventing him from calling people, Lu Ran was not interested in the negotiations between their brothers, but he just wanted to know why Chu Xiao chose to cooperate with Jiang Nanyu, he was the prince, he should know Jiang Nanyu very well about this evil and ambitious person, and if he conspired with the tiger, he would only die in the belly of the tiger.

"Why, of course it's because of my brother, I know very well that if I don't cooperate with him, then Wang Wei will never have any more chances for me." Chu Xiao said that he might still be able to live a rich and idle life in the future, but that was not what he wanted.

"Just for the sake of the throne, can you disregard the lives of your family?" Lu Ran didn't understand why they were so hungry for power, and they didn't understand why they had to kill each other.

Chu Xiao smiled, if he could, who wouldn't want to live a little easier? It's just that many things, what they want are luxuries.

"Jiang Nanyu said that he would make me a king, and he would make me a king forever, would anyone refuse this temptation?" Immortality and power are things that people strive for, and Chu Xiao has no way to resist this temptation, no one can.

Lu Ran felt a little sad in his heart, maybe it was really difficult for him to understand the thoughts of these people.

Now that Chu Xiao is in Chu Chen's hands, he has failed, Lu Ran asked Chu Zhen what he planned to do.

Chu Xiao closed his eyes, as if he was considering, at this time, Chu Xiao suddenly stood up violently, took out a short dagger from his sleeve and slashed back.

Bai Wujian thought that this was just an ordinary weapon and would not cause harm to the Xuanwu Master, so he covered his hands with flames and then held the dagger, but he didn't expect the dagger to pass through Bai Wujian's hand, absorbing the flames of his palm and then adding a scar to the palm of his hand.

"It's a dagger made from the horse's hooves of the horse, and it has the ability to absorb flames, do you think I'll be defenseless?" Chu Xiao said that he smashed a vase in the room with all his might, and there was an immediate commotion outside.

On the way in, Lu Ran estimated in her heart how many soldiers there were in the palace, as long as there was no enchantment, there should be no problem for her to leave here safely with Chu Zhen, she just wanted to take Chu Zhen away, but saw a trace of killing intent flashing in Chu Zhen's eyes.

This killing intent made Lu Ran's heart cold, and as soon as he wanted to say something to stop it, he saw that Bai Wuji's weapon had already crossed Chu Xiao's neck, and his carotid artery spurted out a large amount of blood, and then he fell to the ground.

Lu Ran watched Chu Xiao die in front of her eyes, her head began to hurt again, the pain was very intense, and she had to lean against the pillar.

The soldiers outside heard the movement in the room and broke in and were stunned to see this scene, Chu Zhen looked at the blood stains on the ground, and said to all the soldiers: "This person who wants to force the palace is dead, now you put down your weapons and submit to me, I can not blame the past, but if you still want to resist, then I will execute you together." ”

Now that Chu Xiao is dead, this group of soldiers has no leader, all they can do is do what Chu Zhen said, they kneel on the ground and surrender to Chu Zhen, and there is no one who can continue to fight for Chu Zhen's throne.

Lu Ran watched the soldiers fall to their knees in the dark, and finally shouted hoarsely.

Chu Zhen and Bai Wujian both looked at Lu Ran strangely, Lu Ran put down the hand covering his head, his eyes were blood-red, and slowly walked towards Chu Chen.

Both of them felt the fierce murderous aura on Lu Ran's body, and Bai Wujian immediately blocked in front of Chu Zhen, Lu Ran asked Chu Zhen word by word, he obviously only needed to take Chu Xiao hostage as his own, why did he have to kill Chu Xiao.

"Because he left me with no other choice." Chu Zhen said that only one of the two of them could survive, who does Lu Ran hope for?

Lu Ran hoped that each of them could live, even if it was exile to Chu Xiao or solitary confinement, why did he have to kill him?

Brotherly love is as thin as a piece of paper.

Lu Ran felt that evil was slowly eroding his body, Chu Xiao's body was still lying on the ground, and there was a pool of red blood, red like a person's desire that could not be dissolved.

Chu Zhen understood that Lu Ran might not be able to accept what he did, he said: "Actually, my brother understands that I have already won, if he wants to save his life, he can do nothing and kneel and beg for mercy, but he didn't, and later he deliberately provoked me to kill him so that I could kill him ruthlessly." ”

Maybe Chu Xiao was tired of such a struggle for imperial power and wanted to die quietly, so he ended it all with his own death.

Chu Zhen will be a good king after his father dies, and he will also help Lu Ran fight against Jiang Nanyu, he is different from Mu Bai, he is an orthodox prince, and he will immediately start to rectify the internal affairs of Lingqiao Country and make those Jiangnan Yu's subordinates clear, isn't this the best result for the entire Lingqiao Country and even the Danxuan Continent?

Lu Ran slowly calmed down, on the one hand, because she knew that what Chu Zhen said was true, and on the other hand, Lu Ran used her own strength to forcibly suppress the evil.

"Maybe you're right, but I can't accept this outcome." Although Lu Ran didn't like Chu Xiao very much, she could be regarded as having a little friendship with Chu Xiao, and seeing Chu Xiao lying quietly on the ground now, she felt that she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Lu Ran said to Chu Zhen that since his affairs had been dealt with and no one could threaten him in the future, it was time for him to leave.

"Aren't you going to wait for news from Chen Si?" Chu Zhen hoped that Lu Ran would be able to stay.

Lu Ran shook her head, she would find a way to find Chen Si, but she couldn't stop it if she continued to stay and watch these things happen, it would nourish the evil in her body, and Lu Ran's biggest worry was that one day she wouldn't be able to control her body.

"This jade plaque I gave you can help you, don't worry, I will abide by the agreement between us." Chu Zhen refers to Jiang Nanyu, now that Ling Qiaoguo has been out of Jiang Nanyu's control, Chu Zhen will not become a new puppet.
