Chapter 240: Reborn
Success and defeat have been the case since ancient times, and history also belongs to the victors.
After Pingxi was escorted into the prisoner car, he began to parade in the street.
Most of the people in Kyoto hated Hei Xihou, not only because of his rebellion, but also because of the previous struggle with the major party henchmen, which made him enemies everywhere.
Now, he is a prisoner of the ladder, and he is spurned by everyone.
Walking around the street, Ping Xihou's face was already full of vegetable leaves, and a few rotten eggs were smashed on his body, looking very embarrassed.
Ye Fantian rode his horse in front, and the order he received was to take Pingxi Hou around the city so that the people of the whole Kyoto could see it.
The emperor did this for two reasons: first, to deter those who had dissenting intentions but had not yet acted, telling them that if they were against him, Pingxihou would be their example, and second, to establish prestige among his people.
As the lord of Kyoto City, he still has a certain reason for doing so.
"Have you heard? Ping Xihou was escorted into a prisoner's car today and paraded in the streets."
"I still need to say that this matter has spread all over Kyoto, and Pingxi Hou is really miserable."
"Yes, you said that he is a good marquis, and he doesn't want to put the title, why rebel?"
In the inn, many people discussed the scene that happened in the morning.
Early in the morning, Xia Fan was still asleep, naturally, he didn't know about Pingxi waiting for the deposit prisoner car and parading the streets.
Xia Fan called the shopkeeper and asked, "Is what they said true?" ”
The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Of course it's true, objective, I'm afraid you'll miss it, let me tell you, that scene is really exciting, you said that he is a marquis, and he doesn't do it with his official position, why do you want to do the opposite?" ”
Xia Fan didn't answer the shopkeeper's question, but said, "Help us serve some food."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper said yes and left.
After all, the three people at this table were all distinguished guests invited by the emperor, and he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would be killed.
"If you want me to say, the ancient kings were quite perverted, and in order to stabilize their foundation, they were ruthless, and it was commonplace."
Chen Wu took a sip of water and said.
Xia Fan smiled and said, "In the feudal period, it was really harmful."
Su Meng looked out the window, the dark clouds gradually thickened, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
"Su Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Fan looked at the grim look on Su Meng's face and asked.
Su Meng looked at the cloudy sky outside the window and said, "I always have a feeling that something big is about to happen!" ”
Women's sixth sense has always been quite accurate, no one can say this thing accurately, science can't explain it, they seem to be innate, they have this special perception ability.
Xia Fan also believes it, after all, a woman's sixth sense is not a joke.
Immediately, he closed his eyes and used his mana to perceive and extend outward, exploring the dangerous events that might occur.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the air!
"Boom!"
Immediately, a huge lightning bolt fell from the sky!
At the east city of Kyoto, Ye Fantian escorted the prisoner car here, and half a day passed, and Kyoto's also marched nearly half the way.
"Little Er, serve a few good dishes and wine."
As he spoke, he placed a gold ingot on the table.
The shopkeeper glanced at it and said, "Guest officer, you have given too much."
Ye Fantian smiled and said, "The rest will be rewarded to you."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you."
Immediately, he picked up the gold ingot and walked towards the back kitchen.
After paying the money, Ye Fantian came to the side of the prisoner car where Ping Xihou was being held.
"Master Hou, this journey has been hard, and if you persist in it, you will be able to return to the prison."
Ye Fantian and Ping Xihou, there was no grudge in the past and no enmity in the near future, if he hadn't acted on orders, he would never have done this kind of work.
As the number one swordsman in Kyoto, Ye Fantian has already had distracting thoughts in his heart, and this is why he has the current realm, and money is no longer important to him.
Ping Xihou smiled and said: "Ye Fantian, as the number one swordsman in Kyoto, why do you want to work for the emperor?" ”
Ye Fantian smiled and didn't speak.
Then, he said to the guards on the side: "You have to serve the Hou Ye well for a while, otherwise the emperor will blame you, and your heads will not be protected."
"Yes! Ye Jiansheng! ”
The guards naturally knew the meaning of Ye Fantian's words, and now that Ye Fantian was leading the team, they even dispelled the idea of torturing Ping Xihou.
In Kyoto, the sword saint Ye Fantian is known to everyone.
See all the injustices in the world, and don't ask the soul of the sword when you lift the sword.
In the eyes of ordinary people, his temper is very strange and extremely difficult to approach.
But in the eyes of the emperor and Xia Fan, Ye Fantian is a chivalrous man, but this chivalrous man seems to have overcultivated and is a little out of touch with society.
The shopkeeper prepared the wine and food, rubbed his hands, and said to Ye Fantian with a smile: "I have heard of Ye Jiansheng's name for a long time, the special dishes of this store, I hope Ye Jiansheng likes it."
With that, he left in a hurry.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color, and the dark clouds that were still in the distance had now covered the sky over the entire imperial capital.
Ye Fantian was shocked in his heart, because he felt a powerful thunder and lightning power from the dark clouds on the top!
Immediately, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Put the Pingxi waiting deposit inn, and the sky is about to change! ”
Just listened, as soon as his words fell, a white light flashed in the sky, and then, a lightning bolt fell!
"Boom!"
After a loud bang.
A hole has been cut into the ground!
The cage of the prisoner car was split open and scattered all over the ground, only to see that Ping Xihou's handcuffs and leg irons were all split by this lightning.
However, his body did not receive any damage.
Ye Fantian took away the hands that were blocking his eyes, looked at Ping Xihou who had recovered his free body, and was shocked.
He still didn't figure out why the lightning didn't kill him, but allowed him to regain his freedom.
Ping Xihou looked at his hands and felt a huge force swimming in his body.
Immediately, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha, it seems that this is all fate!" Mandate of Heaven! ”
Seeing this, Ye Fantian raised his sword and stabbed at Ping Xihou.
He was the person in charge of escorting Ping Xihou this time, and if he let him escape, the emperor would definitely not forgive him easily.
Ping Xihou took a deep breath, released the true qi in his body, and shouted!
I saw that with him as the center, a huge energy fluctuation burst out!
Before Ye Fantian could get close, he was sent flying by this huge force, and immediately, blood gushed out of his mouth.
"What a powerful internal force!" Ye Fantian leaned on the sword in one hand and held his chest in the other, it was obvious that he was already seriously injured.
Ping Xihou looked at his hands incredulously.
He muttered to himself, "Is this really my power?" Such a powerful force? ”
For a while, Ping Xihou was at a loss, and now, he only knew that he had to quickly escape from Kyoto, escape from this place of right and wrong.
Immediately, as soon as he turned around, he walked like a fly, and with a jump, he flew up to the city wall, and in the blink of an eye, he successfully escaped from Kyoto.
Seeing this, Ye Fantian thought to himself, it's difficult, it's difficult to explain to the emperor now.
Xia Fan and his party searched for the thunder and came here.
When they saw that Ye Fantian was seriously injured and kneeling on the ground, they hurriedly ran over.
"What's going on?"
Xia Fan hurriedly asked.
Ye Fantian took a deep breath, spit out another mouthful of blood, and then said: "Just now, there was a lightning bolt that struck Ping Xihou, which greatly increased his strength, and now, I am no longer his opponent."
No way? You are the number one swordsman in the imperial capital, and you can't even beat Pingxihou?
Ye Fantian looked at the disbelief in Xia Fan's eyes, and then said, "I don't know why he didn't die after he was struck by lightning, but his skills have increased greatly."
Xia Fan has also experienced this feeling.
When he was in the ancient deep forest, he used his thunder attribute clone to absorb the power of thunder and lightning, which was greatly improved.
Thinking of this, Xia Fan asked, "In which direction did he go?" ”
He asked this because he wanted to chase Ping Xihou back, after all, his skills had increased greatly, and he didn't know what trouble he would cause.
Ye Fantian glanced at the direction of the East City Gate and said, "He just came out of the East City Gate not long ago, and there is a mountain outside the city, where it might be a good hiding place."
Xia Fan nodded slightly, and then said to Su Meng and Chen Wu: "This matter will be handed over to me, you stay here and protect Ye Fantian."
Now, Ye Fantian is the chain that connects them to the emperor, in order to ensure the foolproof nature of this chain, Xia Fan still decided to go alone and capture this Pingxi Hou.
However, just as Pingxi was fleeing the imperial capital,
The eyeliner that the emperor arranged around Ye Fantian had already brought the news back to the palace.
"What! Ping Xihou was struck by lightning, and his skills increased greatly, and even Ye Fantian was not his opponent? ”
A look of surprise leaked from the emperor's face.
The eyeliner hurriedly said: "Now, Ye Fantian has been seriously injured, emperor, do you want to take the opportunity to .......?"
"Ugh." The emperor interrupted the eyeliner's words, "The time is not ripe, the matter of immortal medicine still needs to rely on Ye Fantian's power, if you solve him now, wouldn't it be a self-cutting arm?" ”
"Emperor Shengming."
"Stand down."
In the palace, the emperor was sitting in danger, he looked at the palace outside the palace, and muttered to himself: "Pingxihou, Pingxihou, you will not die for a day, you will always be a big disaster!" ”
Xia Fan crossed the city gate, followed all the way, and came to the mountains and forests, where the branches are lush and the trees are intertwined, which is very suitable for hiding his whereabouts.
He glanced around, and in this gloomy sky, there was no suspicious trace at all.
And it was here that Heisaihou came after fleeing Kyoto.
At this moment, he is recuperating in the valley at the bottom of the mountain forest, and a few days of hunger and exhaustion have already tortured his body to the limit.
