Chapter 512: The Emperor
September 15, late at night.
The moon is full like a mirror.
When the young emperor woke up from his dream, the moonlight was shining through the window and shining on the blue gauze tent in front of the bed.
In the moonlight, the blue gauze tent looks like a cloud and mist, and there seems to be a figure in the cloud.
This is the forbidden palace, the emperor is still young, and he never needs to be served at night, who dares to stand in front of the emperor's bed sneakily in the middle of the night of the third watch?
The emperor jumped up as soon as he straightened his waist, not only could he maintain his composure, but his skills were obviously very athletic.
"Who?"
"Slave Wang An, serve the emperor with tea."
The emperor has not summoned tea, so no one should be the master of bringing tea privately.
However, Wang An has been an old steward who has been in office for many years, and the emperor can't bear to embarrass this loyal old man, so he only waved his hand and said, "There is no need for you to serve here, so retreat." β
Mr. Wang: "Yes." β
Every word the emperor uttered was an order that no one should disobey, and if the emperor wanted to retreat alone, even if his legs had been broken, he would have to climb out.
The strange thing is that this time Mr. Wang has not retreated. The emperor frowned and said, "You haven't yet?" β
Mr. Wang: "The slave and maid still have something to do." The slave maid wanted to invite the emperor to see someone. β
In the middle of the night, he actually dared to startle the dragon driver, and reluctantly went to see someone today, has he forgotten his identity, forgotten that this is a great rebellion, and can be punished for the crime of the nine clans?
He was pure at the age of seven, entered the palace at the age of nine, and has always been cautious, but now that he has lived to be fifty or sixty years old, how could he do such a thing?
Although the emperor's face sank, he was still very calm, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "Where are the people?" β
"Right here," said the chief manager, waving his hand, and two lights suddenly lit up outside the tent.
Another person appeared under the light.
A very handsome young man, wearing a yellow robe, and the bottom is a left-right eight-treasure standing water skirt. Although the light is brighter than the moonlight, people still seem to be standing in the clouds.
The emperor couldn't see clearly, so he brushed open the gauze tent and walked out, and when he just walked out, his face suddenly changed, and it became indescribably terrifying.
The young man standing in front of him was like a shadow of himself: the same figure, the same countenance, and the same clothes he was wearing.
Golden Eight Treasures Supreme Dragon Robe!
A one-of-a-kind dragon robe!
Who is this young man? How can there be the same figure and appearance as today? How dare he put on a dragon robe?
Manager Wang looked at the two people in front of him with an indescribable smirk on his face.
The young emperor shook his head, and though he was furious, he still controlled himself. He had a vague feeling that there must be a terrible secret hidden here.
Manager Wang patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "This is the descendant of Emperor Daxing, the son of Prince Nan, and the cousin of today's son." β
The emperor couldn't help but look at the young man again, and said with a calm face: "You were transferred to Beijing?" β
Nanwang Shizi lowered his head and said, "No." β
The emperor said: "What is the crime of leaving the fiefdom without being edicted, do you know?" β
The head of the prince of the south hung lower.
The emperor said: "The prince broke the law and shared the same crime with the people, even if I have the heart to protect each other, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people!" β
Huo Ran, the prince of the Southern Wang, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid that it will inevitably be the crime of killing the head!" β
The emperor said, "Not bad. β
Nanwang Shizi said: "Since you know the law, why do you still break the law?" β
The emperor said angrily: "You ......."
The prince of Nanwang interrupted him again, and said sharply: "Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is added to the first, even if I have the heart to save your life, how can the family law of the ancestors still ......"
The emperor was furious and said, "Who are you? How dare you be so rude to me? β
The prince of Nanwang said: "I am ordered by heaven and edicted to the first emperor, and I am the supreme son of heaven today!" β
Now the Emperor finally understood what a terrible conspiracy this was, but he still couldn't believe it.
Nanwang Shizi said again: "Chief Wang, thinking that he is also the bloodline of the first emperor, you might as well give him a whole corpse, and then send his bones back to Nanwangfu." β
Mr. Wang replied, "Yes." He looked at the emperor with his eyes, suddenly sighed, and muttered, "I really don't understand, I don't want to let a good little prince do it, but I want to go to Beijing to die, what is this for?" β
The Emperor sneered.
Of course, he now fully understands this conspiracy, they want to use this young man to impersonate him, be the emperor for him, kill him again, and send his body back to the Nanwang Mansion in the name of the prince of Nanwang.
The king said: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people, since you also know this truth, what else do you have to say?" β
"Just one word." The emperor said, "How did you come up with such a ridiculous thing? β
Manager Wang blinked, and finally couldn't help laughing, and said, "I didn't want to say it, but I really can't hold it back." β
"To tell you honestly, since the last time the old prince entered Beijing, he found that you and the little prince looked almost identical, and this matter has already begun."
The emperor said, "He bought you? β
Mr. Wang: "I not only like gambling, but also prostitution. The price of Yiqing House has always been very expensive, so my expenses have always been not small, and I have to find a way to make money. β
Speaking of the word "prostitute", his shriveled old face suddenly became radiant and triumphant.
"Not only did I go to the Yiqing Courtyard to prostitute, but I also used it as a place of contact between me and the Southern Prince, the master of the Western Regions Tantric Sect, and the Feixian Island in the South China Sea. Hahahaha, there's something wonderful there that you never thought possible! β
Of course, eunuchs can also prostitute, and only in this kind of thing can a person who is not a man be able to regain his dignity and strength as a man.
- Is the honest monk going to prostitute to prove his dignity as a man?
- Or did he go to the Pleasant House to get close to Governor Wang and discover their secrets?
The emperor suddenly said: "You are not small. β
Mr. Wang: "I'm not bold, it's not a sure thing, I will never do it." β
The Emperor asked, "Is this matter secure?" β
Mr. Wang: "We were still worried about Wei Ziyun's rabbit cubs, but now we have tried to lure them away." β
The emperor said, "Oh? β
Mr. Wang: "People who like to play chess, if they hear two big players playing chess outside, can they stay in the house and not go out?" β
The answer, of course, is no.
Wang Zongguan: "The same is true for those who learn swords, if they know that the two most prestigious swordsmen of our time are competing for swords in the Taihe Hall in front of them, they will not be able to stay in the house either." β
The emperor suddenly asked, "Are you talking about Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng?" β
Manager Wang looked very surprised and asked, "Do you know these two people too?" β
The emperor said lightly: "With the swordsmanship and fame of these two, it is no wonder that Wei Ziyun will be tempted." β
Mr. Wang said leisurely: "The human heart is always made of meat. β
The emperor said: "Fortunately, there are still a few people around me who will not be tempted. β
As soon as he finished saying this, in the wooden pillars on all sides, there was a sudden sound of "grid" at the same time, and the secret door slid open, and four people flashed out of it.
These four people are less than three feet tall, and their figures, appearances, and decorations are exactly the same. Especially their faces, with small eyes, big noses, and bulging heads, look indescribably funny.
But the sword in their hand is not ridiculous at all.
The one-foot-seven-inch long sword, the blue light flashed, the cold was pressing, three people used double swords, one person used a single sword, and the seven swords flashed in the air, like a sky full of stars and rain, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
However, even if you can't open your eyes, you should recognize these four people, the Yu brothers of Yunmen Mountain, Qixingtang, and Feiyu Castle.
The four brothers were born of one child, although they are not tall, their swordsmanship is extremely high, especially the four brothers, they have the same heart, and the four of them join forces to display their family heirloom Flying Fish Seven Star Sword, in the seven sword formations under the whole world, although they cannot be ranked first, there are not many people who can break them for a while.
Not only are their swordsmanship weird, but their temperament is even more withdrawn, and they can't imagine that they will be recruited into the inner and become the emperor's personal guards.
The sword light shone the emperor's face.
The emperor shouted: "Chop! β
The light of the seven swords flowed, and the stars flickered, and immediately enveloped the prince of Nanwang and the chief manager of the king.
Manager Wang's face remained unchanged, and the prince of Nanwang had already waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Break!" β
With a sound, suddenly, a sword light flew obliquely, like a shocking lightning, like a rainbow shocking the sky.
The sky was full of sword light staggered, and suddenly there were four sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding", sparks splashed, and the sword light in the sky suddenly disappeared.
The only thing left with light was a sword.
A long sword with a strange form.
This sword is certainly not the sword of the Yu brothers.
The swords of the Yu brothers have been broken, and the people of the Yu brothers have all fallen.
This sword is in the hands of a man in white, with snow-white clothes, pale face, and cold eyes, and he is arrogant, even more pressing than the sword qi.
This is the Imperial Palace, and the Emperor is right in front of him.
But this person doesn't seem to even be looked at by the emperor.
The emperor still had the same expression, and said lightly: "Ye Gucheng? β
The white-clothed man said: "The people of the mountains and grasses can't imagine that they can go up to the sky to listen." β
The emperor said: "Flying immortals outside the sky, one sword breaks the seven stars, it is really a good swordsmanship." β
Ye Gucheng said: "This is a good swordsmanship. β
The emperor said: "A beautiful woman, why is she a thief?" β
Ye Gucheng said: "Achievement is the king, and defeat is the thief." β
With an unmistakable firmness in the emperor's tone, he said, "A thief is a thief." β
Ye Gucheng sneered, leveled his sword in his chest, and said coldly: "Please!" β
The emperor said, "Please? β
Ye Gucheng said: "With Your Majesty's insight and calmness, there are few people in the martial arts, and if Your Majesty enters the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be among the top ten masters." β
The emperor smiled and said, "Good eyesight." β
Ye Gucheng said: "Now the king is no longer the king, the thief is no longer a thief, between the king and the thief, the strong wins." β
The emperor said: "A strong man wins." β
Ye Gucheng said: "My sword is already in my hand." β
The emperor said, "Although you have a sword in your hand, you have no sword in your heart. β
"The sword is straight, the sword is strong, the person with an evil heart, how can he hide the sword in his chest?"
Ye Gucheng said: "The sword in your hand can hurt people, but the sword in your heart can only hurt yourself!" β
The emperor laughed, laughed.
Ye Gucheng said: "Draw your sword." β
The emperor said, "I don't have a sword in my hand. β
Shi Gucheng said: "You don't dare to fight? β
The emperor smiled and said: "I practice the sword of the Son of Heaven, level the world, calm the people, strategize in the battle, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away." Using one's body as a sword, five steps of blood spattering is not taken by the Son of Heaven. β
He stared at Ye Gucheng and slowly continued: "You must not understand what I mean. β
Ye Gucheng really didn't understand.
ββThe realm of "no sword in your hand, a sword in your heart" is of course not low, but it is still not comparable to the realm of "no sword in your heart, one sword in one".
However, now that the emperor is calm and smiling, he seems to be even higher than Ye Gucheng, what is this for?
Ye Gucheng's pale face turned pale, he clenched the hilt of his sword, and said, "Would you rather be tied up?" β
The emperor said in a loud voice: "I am ordered by the heavens, you dare to act rashly?!" β
On Ye Gucheng's hand holding the sword, the green tendons were exposed, and sweat was already secreting from the tip of his nose.
Manager Wang couldn't help but say loudly: "The matter has come to this, if you don't kill him, he will kill you!" β
Nanwang Shizi said: "He will definitely do it, the world-famous Baiyun City Lord will not have such a woman's kindness!" β
Ye Gucheng's face turned white, and finally said: "I didn't kill unarmed people, but today I have to make an exception." β
The emperor said, "Why? β
Ye Gucheng said: "Because although you don't have a sword in your hand, you have a sword in your heart." β
The emperor was silent.
Ye Gucheng said: "I also said that the sword in your hand can hurt people, but the sword in your heart will hurt yourself." β
The sword in his hand was swung up.
The moon is full in the middle of the sky.
The moon is fuller.
The fragrance of cinnamon floats in the autumn wind, and the fragrance of cinnamon is full of murder.
- The emperor still has no sword in his hand.
- If he didn't have a sword, what would he use to resist Ye Gucheng's "Flying Immortals from the Sky"?
ββThe Yu brothers have swords in their hands, and the imperial guards also have swords in their hands, so of course the huge palace will not fail to find the sword!
- But the emperor is obviously a master of swordsmanship, why doesn't he wear a sword?
- Is it because those swords are not his swords?
- Where is his sword?
Sou!
Suddenly, from the window flew a pure white color, ancient style sword, this sword loomed in the moonlight, as if it was a fairy sword from the sky, piercing the mortal dust!
A sword lives forever.
This sword turned out to be the Immortal Sword!
The Immortal Sword flew straight out, and when it reached the emperor's hand, the emperor reached out to catch it, and spun around, as if he had practiced countless times.
The sword is unsheathed!
Sonor!
The Emperor looked at the Immortal Sword that fused with the moonlight and muttered, "I knew you would come!" β
He said this as if he were saying it to the sword, and it was as if he was saying it to the person who sent the sword.
