Chapter 47: The Decisive Battle 3
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
The young emperor put down the fold in his hand, stretched his waist, and then asked the old eunuch standing beside him, "Wang An, what time is it now?"
"Back to the emperor, it's already the time of the emperor!" the old eunuch replied.
"Oh, the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng must have begun!" the emperor asked again.
"Back to the emperor, it's not started yet!" said the old eunuch.
"It's not started yet, it's time for them to start yet, is it true that they really want to stay in my palace and eat moon cakes?" the emperor suddenly said angrily.
"The emperor is angry, the old slave will go down and let them start early, so as not to disturb the emperor and the concubines to enjoy the moon!" Seeing that the emperor was angry, the old eunuch was a little frightened, hurriedly bent over to confess, and withdrew from the imperial study tremblingly.
A moment later, the old eunuch returned to the imperial study again, only this time his body was straight when he walked into the imperial study, not as trembling as he had just been.
"Back to the emperor, the old slave went to the Taihe Palace, although there are hundreds of Jianghu warriors standing in front of the palace, Wei Ziyun Wei also led the Imperial Forest Army to guard on the side, and Ximen Blowing Snow has also stood on the Taihe Palace, but Ye Gucheng, the lord of Ye City, has not yet arrived, so the decisive battle has not yet begun!"
The old eunuch said to the emperor who was immersed in reading and reviewing the folds, and there was less panic in his tone.
"Haven't started yet, forget it, you're tired too, stand down and rest, and let people come over after their decisive battle!" the emperor looked up, sighed, and buried his head again.
After a while, the emperor raised his head again, because he did not hear the old eunuch's resignation.
"Is there anything else you need?" the Emperor frowned.
"Back to the emperor, the old slave wants to introduce someone to the emperor!" the old eunuch replied, and at the same time clapped his hands behind him in order to wait for the emperor's promise.
With a "snap", the emperor saw a figure that he could see every day, the difference was that he was in front of the bronze mirror before, but now it is indeed a real person.
"The emperor must not know who he is?" the old eunuch looked at the somewhat stunned emperor and smiled strangely.
"Who is he?" The emperor looked at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him and dressed exactly the same, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, but he still asked the smiling old eunuch.
"This is the descendant of Emperor Daxing, the son of the prince of Yunnan, and the cousin of today's son. The old eunuch bowed to the visitor, and then pointed to the emperor and said.
"Are you ordered to enter Beijing?" the emperor looked at the old eunuch with a strange attitude and asked with a calm face.
"No!" Wang Shizi of Yunnan lowered his head.
"Do you know what the crime of leaving the fiefdom without being edicted is?" said the emperor.
Wang Shizi of Yunnan did not answer, but his head hung lower.
"The prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the people, even if I have the heart to protect each other, I am afraid that I will ......," the emperor said in a deep voice again.
"I'm afraid that I can't avoid the crime of killing my head!" Wang Shizi of Yunnan still hung his head.
"Not bad. ”
"Since you know the law, why do you still break the law!" Wang Shizi of Yunnan suddenly raised his head, raised it high, and shouted at the emperor with a question.
"Yes, if you two know, why do you still know the law and break the law!" At this moment, another "emperor" wearing a dragon robe who looked ninety percent like the emperor walked in and shouted at the prince of Yunnan and the emperor.
"Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be 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 looked at the stunned prince of Yunnan and the emperor and continued to shout.
"You, you ......" The emperor looked at the prince of Yunnan, and then at the "emperor", and was furious, shouting towards the door: "Someone!"
"Brother Huang, don't call it, most of the Imperial Forest Army in this palace has been transferred by Wei Ziyun to defend and monitor that group of warriors in the rivers and lakes, besides, if Brother Wang of Yunnan and I can appear in front of you smoothly, it is impossible for people to stand outside, even if there are people, it will not be your people, Brother Huang!" Looking at the angry emperor, the "emperor" smiled ruthlessly.
"Brother Wang, it seems that you are also my Zhu family, I don't know which cousin?" asked Wang Shizi of Yunnan, looking at the "emperor".
"Cousin, the prince of Taiping! Brother Wang of Yunnan can be called cousin Gong Jiu!" Gong Jiu replied to Wang Shizi of Yunnan like an elegant son.
"The prince of Yunnan, the prince of Taiping?" the emperor looked at the two "himself" in front of him and sneered, "What a big drama! It seems that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival night is much more interesting than in previous years!"
"It's a very interesting show! It's just a pity, you can't watch it for long!" Wang Shizi of Yunnan also sneered, looked at the emperor, and then smiled at Gong Jiu, "Brother Taiping, are you here or for your brother?"
"Brother Wang is the elder, the elder comes first!" Gong Jiu also looked at the emperor and sneered.
"That's good, ...... for my brother first" Before the prince of Yunnan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.
"Why don't I come first!"
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the four wooden pillars in the imperial study suddenly slid open the secret door with a "clatter", and four short swordsmen who looked exactly the same and held cold swords quickly flashed out, and each of them quickly stabbed at the prince of Yunnan and Gong Jiu with swords respectively.
The long sword was smooth and flowing, and the stars were shining, instantly enveloping the two of Yunnan Wang Shizi and Gong Jiu.
Seeing that he was about to die under the sword, the prince of Yunnan and Gong Jiu did not have the slightest fear of death, but looked at the long sword with a calm face.
Zheng!
When the long sword was about to die, two sounds of the long sword unsheathed suddenly sounded in the imperial study, and then two sword lights flashed in the air, and the four long swords were cut off in an instant, and the lives of four short swordsmen were cut off at the same time.
"Good swordsmanship, really good swordsmanship!" The emperor didn't look at the four swordsmen who had fallen, but instead admired the long sword in the hands of Gong Jiu and the white-clothed figure who suddenly appeared.
"It's really a good swordsmanship!" the white-clothed figure held the long sword, but looked at the long sword in Gong Jiu's hand and praised.
"Of course it's a good swordsmanship!" Gong Jiu was not modest at all, but very proud, and at the end, he put away his sword and nodded at the white-clothed figure, "Gong Jiu!"
"Ye Gucheng!" the white-clothed figure also put away his sword and nodded.
"Does the Son of Heaven know swordsmanship?" After collecting the sword, Ye Gucheng asked the emperor.
"Understood!" the emperor nodded, and then sighed, "I just don't understand why Ye Gucheng, who was supposed to fight the West Gate Blowing Snow in the Taihe Palace, appeared in this imperial study!"
"Because of you!" Ye Gucheng said.
"Because of me?" the Emperor asked, confused.
"Yes, because of you!" Ye Gucheng said, "My sword is a flying immortal outside the sky, an immortal sword that is above the sky, but there is already you in the sky, the son of heaven, if the son of heaven does not cut it, how can I fly to the sky!"
"Hmm, Ling Tian Feixian, this is your sword!" Hearing this, the emperor suddenly frowned and asked.
"Yes, this is my sword!" Ye Gucheng said.
"Understood!" the emperor looked at Ye Gucheng and nodded.
"Do you really understand?" Ye Gucheng asked.
"I understand!" the Emperor nodded again.
"It seems that you really know the sword!" Ye Gucheng suddenly looked at the emperor, and then turned his head to look at Gong Jiu, "The Son of Heaven understands my sword, what about you?"
"I, I know swordsmanship, I know a lot of swordsmanship, but I don't know swords, so I don't understand your swords!" Gong Jiu replied very honestly.
"Don't you understand, it's a pity, only you know my sword in this imperial study, but you, I have to kill!" Ye Gucheng shook his head when he heard this, and said to the emperor regretfully.
"It would be a pity if a person who knows the sword can die on the sword of a person who knows the sword! Besides, it may not be me who lives or dies!" said the emperor with a calm expression.
Zheng!
In response to the emperor, it was Ye Gucheng's extremely fast sword, and as soon as he remembered the sound of the sheath, the long sword in his hand had already reached the emperor's neck, and he only needed to move forward one more inch to make the emperor die under the sword.
Phew!
Just as the emperor was about to die with the long sword, a pitch-black knife suddenly shot out from the darkness behind the emperor, and when the long sword pierced the emperor's neck, it shot at the long sword, knocking the long sword back.
"Look, it's not necessarily me who lives or dies!" the emperor didn't look behind him, and said softly to Ye Gucheng, who was retreating.
"That's right, it may not be that he is alive or dead, it may be that you are all dead!" Before Ye Gucheng could speak, an old sneer sounded in the imperial study.
"That's right, maybe you're all dead!" The sneer was followed by another old laugh.
With two sneers, two voices and shadows walked in, a purple robe draped, a gray beard and crane face, and a black robe to cover the body.
"Old man, you're here!" Looking at the purple-robed old man who was walking towards him, Gong Jiu called lightly.
"Old man, presumably this is Wu Ming, the owner of Nameless Island?" looked at the emperor who was standing in front of Gong Jiu and looked at the purple-robed old man who looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, it's an old man!" the little old man said coldly as he looked at the emperor.
"Then this one must be the mysterious Jade Rakshasa of the Western Demon Sect Leader on the rivers and lakes?"
"That's right, it's the sect leader!" the black-robed figure replied coldly.
"I don't know when I offended the two of you and let them join forces?" the emperor asked, puzzled.
"You haven't offended the little old man, it's just that the little old man thinks that the little old man's apprentice is more suitable for wearing a dragon robe than you!" the little old man looked at the emperor and smiled.
"I see, what about the Jade Rakshasa Jade Sect Master?" the Emperor nodded, then looked at the Jade Rakshasa .
"The little emperor has not offended the sect master, but the sect master has been the leader of the Holy Sect for many years, but he has never been able to lead the Holy Sect into the Central Plains, and I am deeply sorry. Now, as long as you, the little emperor, die, no matter who becomes the emperor, the court will be in chaos for a while, and if the court is in chaos, the rivers and lakes will be in chaos, so this sect leader just takes the Holy Sect into this Central Plains land!"
After speaking, the Jade Rakshasa looked at the darkness somewhere behind the emperor, and said at the same time, "The two of us have arrived, I don't know when Your Excellency Qinglong plans to appear?"
Da~~Da~~
As soon as the Jade Rakshasa spoke, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered green dragon brocade robe and carrying a long wooden box on his back gradually walked out of the darkness and slowly walked in front of the emperor, blocking the sight of the little old man and the Jade Rakshasa .
"Wu Ming Island Lord, Jade Rakshasa Jade Sect Master, long admired the great name!"
"The little old man has been on the island all the year round, and he hardly enters the rivers and lakes, so what is the great name to look up to? On the contrary, it is the great name of His Excellency Qinglong, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it!" The nameless old man sneered.
"Old man Wu Ming, there is no need to say polite words, anyway, today two to one, it is better for you and me to cut off his dragon head and the little emperor's dragon head first, and then it's not too late to nag!"
As soon as the little old man's words fell, a gloomy sneer came from under the black robe of the Jade Rakshasa.
"Unexpectedly, on the rivers and lakes, there are even congenital consummate martial artists, and several seniors are really deep enough to hide!" Looking at the three people who were confronting each other, feeling the faint coercion coming from the three of them, Ye Gucheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the long sword slowly returned to the sheath.
"City Lord Ye, why don't you wait for the two of us to entangle this Qinglong boss, you take the opportunity to kill this little emperor and complete your sword intent, okay?" Seeing Ye Gucheng speak, the nameless little old man's eyes suddenly lit up and said.
"Not good!"
As soon as the little old man's voice fell, before Ye Gucheng could answer, Bai Mu walked out of the gate and walked in.
Ma Dan, I'm still not a pig's foot, and now let me play?
