Chapter 8 The Verge

The Great Emperor's Palace, in the Chonghua Palace.

"The eldest prince, it's a good thing! I received a report from the palace, Xiao Yuan failed, just like twelve years ago, there was no way to contain the cold in the body, causing the sleeping cold in the muscles and veins to be reawakened, last time because of his big life, this time he couldn't go back to the sky!" The butler shouted with joy on his face as he ran from outside the study.

The eldest prince stood up with a "rub", quickly walked to the butler's side, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and lifted the butler up, "What did you say? The royal brother of this king has become the same as twelve years ago again!"

The housekeeper didn't understand what was going on, and the smile on his face instantly condensed, "Yes, according to the information in the palace, according to the old slave, the number one in the world is just a false name, and the old slave has been worried for a long time, but we can finally sleep peacefully now." ”

The eldest prince threw the butler directly to the ground, punched through the pillar supporting the palace in front of him, and confided word by word: "This king has worked hard to practice martial arts since he was a child, and studied the art of war hard. In order to protect our Great Zhou and let our people live and work in peace and contentment, but now I can't even protect my own imperial brother, how can I be worthy of the imperial brother calling me an imperial brother!"

The eldest prince slowly withdrew his hand from the middle of the pillar and revealed a fierce gaze, the housekeeper didn't know what was going on, the crown prince was dead, and he could still compete with the eldest prince for the throne, I don't understand why the eldest prince had this reaction.

The eldest prince then walked to the dormitory, turned back to the butler behind him and said, "Go find the great worship, gather all the private soldiers in the palace to wait for me at the palace gate."

When he arrived at the palace, the eldest prince stretched out his hand and pointed to the armor facing the palace gate and said, "Wear armor and armor for this king, the royal brother of this king, no one wants to hurt a single hair of his hair, whoever lets him die, I will destroy his sect first." ”

After the eldest prince put on the armor, he picked up his white knife with a murderous momentum, pulled it with both hands, and the knife was printed on his face, closed it instantly, and walked out of the palace and went straight to the palace gate.

At the gate of Chonghua Palace, two thousand soldiers stood in front of the palace in a neat and orderly manner, standing in the front row was a great master of the Yuanji Great Perfection wearing a black thin robe, and behind him were four deputy commanders wearing armor, a great master in the early stage of Yuanji, and three grandmasters in the late congenital period.

The eldest prince walked out of the palace, and the soldiers outside knelt on one knee one after another, clasped their fists with both hands and said, "See His Royal Highness the eldest prince." ”

The eldest prince waved his hand, and all the soldiers got up, and then said to the old man in front of him, "Wang Feng, I'm sorry for you!"

Wang Xianfeng hurriedly raised the arm of the eldest prince, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to see the best in the world, and see if in the past ten years, whether his three swords are stronger, or my Taizu's palm skills are stronger." I hope he doesn't let me down!"

The eldest prince said fiercely, "Go with this king, go to the East Palace, if anything happens to the emperor's brother, there will be no one left!"

Next to the Huanxi, Xiao Yuan stood quietly by the stream, without complaining or having too much emotion, as if he had accepted the arrangement given to him by God, and there was nothing else in his heart, and his mind had never been clear.

The Queen's Palace, inside the Kunning Palace.

"Auntie, hurry up and save Brother Xiao Yuan, Brother Xiao Yuan, he is going to die! He is dead, what should Ling'er do?" Ling'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and when she saw Queen Zhao, she suddenly threw herself into her arms, wiping the tears on her face with one hand, and hugging the queen's waist tightly with the other.

The queen took the silk handkerchief in her hand, gently wiped away the tears on Ling'er's face, looked at Ling'er's delicate face, and said gently, "Xiao Yuan himself is willing to come to this point, even the emperor is helpless, my aunt is a woman after all, what can I do? Whether to be reborn from the ground or die like this, it depends on his creation." ”

Ling'er stopped crying, looked at her aunt who wiped her tears, and said, "Auntie, is there really no way? Is this the destiny of heaven? Why do you keep torturing Brother Xiao Yuan like this, Ling'er really doesn't want to lose Brother Xiao Yuan." ”

Empress Zhao stood up, walked to the offering table in the inner hall, twisted the Buddha statue, took out a box from it, handed it to Ling'er, and said, "This is a ginseng that is more than 5,000 years old, and my aunt also spent a lot of money to get it, just in case." If Xiao Yuan really survives this hurdle, he will use this to fill his body, and he will definitely be a blockbuster!"

Ling'er was just about to open the box to see what it was like.

Empress Zhao pressed Ling'er's hand on the box and said, "Don't open it now, this box can preserve the medicinal power of ginseng for a long time, once opened, the medicinal power of ginseng will lose over time and slowly lose its effect." There you go!"

Ling'er nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the East Palace after the farewell salute.

After Ling'er left, a person walked out from behind the screen, yes, it was the emperor.

Empress Zhao bowed slightly to the emperor and said, "Since the emperor is so worried about the crown prince, why didn't he let Gonggong Cao send it on his behalf, but came to the concubine?"

The emperor helped Queen Zhao up and said, "I owe them really too much to their mother and son, I couldn't protect Rong'er and was taken away by them back then, and today, I haven't been able to protect Yuan'er's safety, I'm really useless, I'm not a good husband, let alone a good father, so let Yuan'er hate me for the rest of my life." However, I believe that my emperor will not fall like this, and will definitely stand up to the sky and let the world inherit and admire. ”

"Your Majesty, you've done well enough, don't blame yourself like this anymore. ”

Before Empress Zhao finished speaking, the emperor walked outside the hall as if he had lost his mind.

East Palace, in front of the main palace.

Jiang Ling and Si Wan'er shook hands with each other, looking at the road in front of the palace gate, as if waiting for someone to arrive, while Si Xingyu wandered back and forth in front of the palace gate, and whispered in his mouth, "No, more than two thousand miles away, two hours, according to the foot strength of the three virtuous brothers, it should have arrived, nothing will happen on the road!"

At this time, I saw three green shadows appear in front of the three people waiting at the door, and in an instant, they came to the three of them, and Si Xingyu saw the faces of the three comers. Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed look. As if all the problems had been solved.

Si Xingyu stepped forward and said, "Three virtuous brothers, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't come to harm."

The old man among the three old men stepped forward and said, "Since ten years ago, Luo Shan has said goodbye, and there has been no news of the eldest brother: I didn't expect that just two hours ago, the induction stone sent by the eldest brother to us vibrated violently, thinking that the eldest brother must have encountered difficulties, and the three of us rushed to come immediately, but we missed the eldest brother's business?"

Si Xingyu said, "The three virtuous brothers, they came just in time, the eldest brother is asking for something, please inside!"

The three old men followed Si Xingyu into the East Palace, and Jiang Ling and Si Wan'er followed.

The eldest prince came to the East Palace with the private soldiers of the palace, and there was still a hundred meters away from the East Palace, but he was blocked by an old man standing in the middle of the road.

Everyone stopped, and the eldest prince hugged his fists at the old man in front of him and said, "Great Grandmaster of the Protector of the Country, I don't know why you are blocking Chen'er's way!"

The Great Grandmaster of the Protector turned to look at the Great Prince and said, "I know you went to the East Palace, with a murderous aura. Do you know who this is?"

The eldest prince squinted his eyes and said, "But Si Xingyu, the number one master in the world, even if it is him, he will leave him behind even if he fights for his life!"

"Joke, who do you think you are? It's just the middle of the congenital stage, you are still far away, and you still have a long way to go! Just before half a pillar of incense, the third-three brothers of Kuaidao Lin Yi, Kuaishu Lin Er, and Kuaijian Lin, who were ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh on the Strange Records list, walked into the East Palace, and now there are a total of five Great Grandmasters of the Yuanji Great Perfection inside. Are you going in and sending you to death?" said the Great Protector Grandmaster solemnly.

The eldest prince's eyes flickered, and he said unwillingly, "It's all up to the orders of the Great Grandmaster of the Protector of the Country." ”

The Great Grandmaster of the Protector sighed and said, "You go to find Xiao Yuan boy first!" Maybe things aren't as bad as they seem. ”

The eldest prince arranged his private soldiers and the Praetorian Guard together to find Xiao Yuan alone.

The eldest prince came to the side of Huanxi and saw Xiao Yuan standing there alone, so he didn't go up to disturb him. Lost in a deep memory.

I still remember that the reason why I practiced martial arts so hard was because when I was a child, once I and Xiao Yuan were naughty, sneaked out of the palace, went out to play, and because of a gadget, I was bullied by four children older than me, forced myself and Xiao Yuan into a corner, and beat them hard.

At that time, Xiao Yuan lay on his stomach tightly and did not let a fist fall on him, but Xiao Yuan lay on the bed for three days without getting out of bed.

Since then, he has been angry and began to practice martial arts, wanting to protect the people around him and the people of the Great Zhou, so that they will never be bullied again.

Although he struggled for a long time when his father canonized his royal brother as the crown prince, he looked back and thought about it, this was not different from the idea he insisted on at the beginning, and he could still silently guard and protect them.

looked at Xiao Yuan, who was standing quietly, and watched quietly like this. Suddenly, Xiao Yuan slammed and fell backwards to the ground.

The eldest prince quickly ran forward, picked up Xiao Yuan's head, shook Xiao Yuan's body and shouted, "Brother, what's wrong with you, wake up quickly! Don't scare Brother Chen'er!" The eldest prince didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiao Yuan opened his eyes weakly, and saw that it was the eldest prince who said, holding the eldest prince's hand, and said in a weak voice, "Chen'er, send me back to the East Palace, find Shigong, Hai Shui." With that, he fainted.

The eldest prince didn't have time to think about it, hugged Xiao Yuan, and rushed towards the East Palace.
