Chapter 1: Snow Drift Shengjing
After a day of howling winter wind, it finally became much lighter, and the snow was now pouring down all over the courtyard. The night of the Holy Demon Kingdom Palace was as white as silk, reflecting snowflakes, but it was even more silent and profound.
Since the expansion of Emperor Xi three years ago, the imperial palace of Shengjing has also more than 1,000 pavilions, which is magnificent, and has the style of Luodu, the capital of the human race. Looking at it late at night, at a glance, the pavilion of Xuduo Palace is like a beautiful peak decorating this magnificent palace. The majestic rockery, the frozen pond, and the emerald green Chiba pine are all shining with a layer of faint blue light under the cover of the palace lights.
At this moment, there were a few people outside the palace wrapped in thick robes and went straight to the palace in the face of the heavy snow.
"Stop, what are you doing?" the guard guarding in front of the palace gate hurriedly asked when he saw someone coming. "Don't you recognize me?" someone in the crowd across from him replied with a big grin. The guards picked up the red lanterns, only to see that the person who came was Emperor Xi's close guard Chang Niu Zaitian, who was the top boss of the palace guards, and more than a dozen guards hurriedly straightened their backs a little more and saluted the visitor.
Niu Zaitian looked at the palace, then looked at the few people behind him, and said with a dry smile: "It's almost His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday, let's take a good look at the guards, don't let the masters of the human race get involved." Several guards hurriedly squeezed out a smile and laughed with their bosses, but they didn't notice that Niu Zaitian's hands were a little trembling.
Niu Zaitian and a few people stepped into the palace, there was a gust of cold wind with snow particles on the face, although Niu Zaitian and the others have been cultivating for many years, but at this time they also shrank their necks in their robes, and there was a chill in their hearts.
Among the several people, one of them strode high and looked calm. This person is long, wearing a golden robe, and the left side of his chest is open, revealing the snow-colored wood brocade inside. This brocade robe is the most admired snow-white of the demon clan, and when you look at it at night, it is quite dusty, coupled with his longing eyes and a sneer on the corner of his mouth, it makes this person even more outstanding.
Niu Zaitian glanced at a few people, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Yelu Chu is indeed a rare talent in my demon clan in a hundred years. Our assassination of the emperor this time is a crime of great rebellion, if it does not work, we will be ruined and ruined, and all nine clans will be destroyed. This Yelu Chu is so calm, could it be that Ye Lu Chu has really received the support of the landlord this time?"
It turns out that the current Emperor Yelu Xi of the Holy Demon Kingdom is an emperor with great ambitions, and since he became the emperor, he has paid great attention to the courtesy, and fought in the south and the north, making the demon clan and the orc clan successively claim to be vassals. In the original year of Xitong, Emperor Xi had the support of the supreme owner of the mountain and sea building in the demon clan, and the two sides fought for ten years, with countless casualties, and finally the two sides set the "Luoshui Peace Conference" in Luodu. But after that, Emperor Xi was depressed, and preferred to indulge in the carnival of drinking and hallucinogenic effects day and night, and the excessive indulgence finally made the wise and capable Emperor Xi moody and temperamental. A few years ago, he began to kill ministers and patriarchs of various clans, and most of them were on a whim, and the parent-child blades who did not distinguish between relatives and did not ask about the guilt were all consciously precarious in the past few years.
Yelu Chu's father, Ye Lu Xiong, is Emperor Xi's own uncle and adoptive father, and he is also an important minister of the three dynasties of the Holy Demon Kingdom. Yelu Chu is the youngest son of Ye Lu Xiong, known as a talent since he was a child, and is the first of the new generation of the demon clan to reach the realm of Chunsheng, eight years old into the mountain and sea building, eighteen years old to join the army to fight, has always had great ambitions, eyes on Yun Han. Because he is the cousin of Emperor Xi, his father has the merit of the dragon, and he has made great achievements, and his career has been smooth sailing, and he was named the king of Xing and the prime minister, and the prince Shaobao. Yelu Chu is in power, and he is becoming more and more arrogant, and he has long stopped taking Emperor Xi in his eyes, and the only thing he is afraid of is the owner of his master, Shanhailou.
In the past two years, Emperor Xi was greedy for alcohol, and the demon clan was resentful, and Yelu Chu thought that the time was ripe, so he stepped up the cultivation of party henchmen. The chief guard Niu Zaitian and the leader of Shengjing, Yelude, were originally the confidants of Emperor Xi, but they took refuge in Yeluxiong with a grudge because of the unreasonable punishment of the violent Emperor Xi. Yelu Xiong's extensive alliance with important ministers and close servants has already aroused the suspicion of Emperor Xi, and he was questioned and reprimanded by Emperor Xi a few days ago. Jerichhu knew very well that whoever does great things must be noble and swift, and must not have the heart of a woman.
Just two days ago, Emperor Xi, who was drunk and delirious, actually killed his queen Ji with his own hands, and even killed his own daughter and maid present. Yelu Chu saw that Emperor Xi was mad, and thought that the time had come, and after careful planning, he took the patriarchs of the two major clans of the demon clan, Ji Shan, Jiaoxinglong, the head of the military department, and several cronies such as Niu Zaitian and Yelude, and opened the palace door with Niu Zaitian, and went straight to the palace.
This night, this is the late night of the eighth day of the first month of the twenty-eighth year of the Holy Demon Kingdom.
The road from the palace gate to Emperor Xi's bedroom seems to be extraordinarily long, and the night in the deep palace is also extraordinarily quiet, and the footsteps of several people are particularly harsh. Yeluqi, the squire of the Zongzheng Division, suddenly stepped on a push of snow, his feet were weak, and he almost fell. Niu Zaitian grabbed it, and Yelu Chu asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Are your legs weak, they are all big demons who have practiced for many years, and they have been transforming into human forms for hundreds of years, and if they are going to trip over a pile of snow today, they will be laughed at by the demon clan in the world." The guard Chang Niu gasped in the sky and muttered: "Don't say Lord Zongzheng, even my legs are a little weak, if something goes wrong with us."
Before he finished speaking, a person suddenly stretched out his hand, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice: "How can you turn back when you come to this point?" My Ji clan has served the emperor for a hundred years, and I will kill him whatever he says, such a tyrant, if he is not punished, how can he settle the world?" Niu Zaitian's mouth was detained by this person, and he was about to attack, and he saw that this person's eyes were like torches, and it was Ji Shan, the patriarch of the Ji clan. The Ji clan was originally a big clan in the demon clan, and the queens have always been from the Ji clan, although Ji Shan was seriously injured in the war between the two clans, and his cultivation has regressed too much, but he has a great influence in the demon clan, which is also an unexpected help from King Xing in this operation.
"Go" is talking to Yelu Chu, he doesn't see the slightest difference on the surface, but he is also uneasy in his heart: Today we wait for this matter is a taboo for the master, but Yelu Xi will not die, and tomorrow I will also be in a different place, only to kill Ye Lu Xi, and then to the master Xiao righteousness, and then we wait for this move to save the demon clan from fire and water, and the master is also unreasonable and excessively pursued. May the ancestors and ancestors bless you, for the great cause of the demon clan, you will definitely succeed!
Yelu Chu looked back sideways, but saw that the three black shadows behind him had followed, and his heart gradually settled down.
These three people are brothers of a milk sibling, they look very similar, they are the rhinoceros cultivation illusion, although they are the same as the cow in the sky but they are not surnamed, the name is Ning Bufan, Ning Buqi, and they are under the great master of the demon clan, the sword god, it is said that the two cooperate seamlessly, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the demon clan. The other person was dressed in black, and he couldn't see his face clearly when he looked closely, as if he was hidden in the dark, and none of the famous demons present recognized his identity.
Niu Zaitian looked at these two people and sighed secretly: My old cow has been practicing for many years, and I think that my cultivation is only slightly inferior to the grandmaster, I really sit in the well and watch the sky, but I can't beat any of these three hillbillies, Brother Ning, I may be able to resist a hundred moves, but this man in black is never an opponent.
