Chapter 55: The Price

When I was in Wanyang.

Xia Fan had an account that he wanted to settle with the imperial court, but considering the relationship between casting a long line to catch a big fish, he didn't do it for a long time.

For this.

He specially sent Leng Yan to the capital to lurk and investigate deeply, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial court, which had already colluded with the Demon Sect, simply took the plan, and finally succeeded in directly opposing the guest.

And that's not all.

Anyone who had close contact with Xia Fan became a bargaining chip for the imperial court to hold him hostage.

I have to say.

This move of the imperial court really choked Xia Fan's vital point.

True.

Although Leng Yan, Liu Hongsleeve and others don't have a deep friendship with him, they are all their own people, and if it weren't for him, they wouldn't be in prison.

Reasonable.

Xia Fan couldn't sit idly by.

Now that the matter has become clear, Xia Fan finally understands why the court has the audacity to offend him.

Because in the eyes of the imperial court, when everything settles, it will be Xia Fan's death, so what is there to fear of a person who is about to die?

It's a pity that the court miscalculated a little.

Xia Fan has a small heart.

Offended the abbot and still want to run?!

What's more, he may not have the intention of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

He needs to reiterate it to the world.

Don't mess with me!

At present, the Demon Sect is concentrating on solving the root cause, and at the same time, it is also sending people to contain the major sects and celestial beings.

In other words.

When will Xia Fan not do it now?

The upside-down arrows shot down a large number of imperial armor soldiers gathered in front of the palace gates, even though these armorers were all elite warriors who were brave and good at fighting, but they were facing a supreme grandmaster.

If it weren't for Xia Fan's unwillingness to kill more, otherwise more people would have died.

That was his last warning.

Anyone who dares to strike at themselves must think clearly about the consequences.

Next.

No.

There's no next time.

"Get out of the way!"

Facing Xia Fan, who was approaching step by step, the person standing at the front turned pale and shouted angrily at the army behind him.

"Luo Tang, do you want to disobey the order?!"

"Flee from the battle, and if you are afraid of the enemy, you will be killed!"

Immediately.

Two different voices beside him immediately scolded.

"Cao Xiong, Cao Peng! He is not an enemy we can deal with at all! Do you want these sons to die here in vain?"

Luo Tang immediately roared at the two who disagreed with him.

"Open your dog's eyes and show Lao Tzu carefully! He is the great grandmaster! Kill the master, the real great grandmaster!"

"Grand Master?!"

"Is it him?!"

Cao Xiong, who was accompanying Luo Tang, Cao Peng's expression changed instantly when he heard this, and his eyes stared at Xia Fan, who was only ten steps away from each other.

"I have seen Lord Xia Zun in Xiazhen Wusi Luo Tang, and I hope that Lord Xia Zun will raise his noble hand......"

Luo Tang didn't pay attention to the two of them at all, and directly bowed to Xia Fan and pleaded.

"I'll give you a cup of tea, if I still haven't seen the cold smoke and willow warbler after a cup of tea......"

Xia Fan stopped and looked at Luo Tangdao in front of him with a calm face.

"I will definitely not disappoint Lord Xia in the next place! Please don't be impatient for a while, and I will order someone to bring the two people in your mouth over now!"

Luo Tang hurriedly said.

After speaking.

He gave Cao Xiong and Cao Peng beside him a look, and then respectfully retreated and went straight to the palace.

"Cao Xiong, Cao Peng! It's been until now! How long are you going to hide it from me?!"

Leaving not long ago.

Luo Tang slowed down, stared at the two of them with cold eyes and asked sharply.

"Luo Tang, pay attention to the way you talk to us!"

Cao Xiong snorted coldly with an unkind face.

"Cao Xiong, in the past, Lao Tzu respected you purely in the face of His Majesty, but now His Majesty is nowhere to be found, and there is a great enemy coercion, but Lao Tzu is completely in the dark and ignores, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu's timely reaction just now, you would have been a corpse by now!"

Not to be outdone, Luo Tang glared at Cao Xiongdao angrily.

"Luo Tang, you go to meet Wei Guogong immediately and report truthfully, and we will deal with other matters. ”

Cao Peng held down Cao Xiong, who was about to have a seizure, and glanced at Luo Tang indifferently.

"Humph!"

Luo Tang didn't say a word when he heard this, and went straight in the direction of Chongzheng Palace.

"Second brother, what should we do now?"

After seeing Luo Tang take the first step, Cao Xiong couldn't help suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice to Cao Peng beside him.

"Later, I will go to meet the old ancestor, and you will go and bring the cold smoke and the willow warbler out of the inner prison. ”

Cao Peng said calmly.

"Second brother, do we really want to hand them over to that person? In my opinion, even if we hand them over to him, he won't be able to give up!"

Cao Xiong frowned.

"Who would have thought that he would turn against us at this time......? With the presence of the ancestors, there is no need to worry about everything. ”

Cao Peng patted Cao Xiong's shoulder and said.

"Okay, second brother, then I'll go to the dungeon. ”

Cao Xiong said in a deep voice.

Meanwhile.

Luo Tang had already hurried to the Chongzheng Palace.

"I've seen Wei Guogong in Xia Luotang!"

As soon as you enter the door.

He saw Wei Guogong sitting in a precarious position, while Chen Wei stood obediently behind his father.

"Luo Tang, why are you here?"

Wei Guogong looked at Luo Tangdao with a solemn expression.

"Returning to the ...... of Wei Guogong"

Immediately afterwards, Luo Tang spoke with a heavy heart.

"What?!The person who came is the senior from Qingping Mountain?!"

Before Wei Guogong could react, Chen Ji behind him suddenly widened his eyes and cried out in disbelief.

"Calm down!"

Wei Guogong glanced at Chen Jidao, who was shouting, expressionlessly.

"Little Grandpa, doesn't you know that Xia Venerable Lord?!"

Luo Tang looked at Chen Ji with a stunned face.

"Xiao'er left home without permission last year and had a relationship with each other in Qingping Mountain. ”

Wei Guogong answered Luo Tang's question lightly.

"Father, the child thinks there must be some misunderstanding here, with the child's understanding of that Xia senior, he will not trespass into the palace for no reason!"

Chen Ji took a deep breath and plucked up his courage and said.

"It's not something you can mix in. ”

Wei Guogong's voice was cold, and he turned to look at Luo Tangdao.

"What about Luo Tang, Cao Xiong and Cao Peng?"

"Back to Wei Guogong, Cao Peng said that they would handle other things, so he let Zai Xia come to report to you alone. ”

Luo Tang said without concealment.

"In that case, you should go back and stabilize the morale of the army first. ”

Wei Guogong pondered for a moment.

"Then Cao Peng and Cao Xiong ...... there"

Luo Tang frowned.

"Don't worry, Luo Tang, people, they will definitely bring it to you. ”

Wei Guogong said calmly.

“...... Then he retired. ”

Luo Tang didn't say anything more, arched his hand towards Wei Guogong and turned around and left the Chongzheng Palace.

"Er, take a look at these movements, and then tell me your views and opinions. ”

After Luo Tang left, Wei Guogong casually picked up the thick stacks of concertos on the table, flipped through them twice at random, and then handed them to Chen Dao behind him.

"Father...... Aren't you worried at all?"

Chen Ji took the concerto, glanced at it absentmindedly, and couldn't help but be fair to the Wei State.

"Is it useful to worry?"

Wei Guogong said lightly.

“......”

Chen Ji was silent for a moment.

"Er, do you know why my father is taking you to participate in political affairs these days?"

Wei Guogong casually diverted the topic.

"Children don't know ......"

Chen Ji shook his head and said.

"Because no matter who is in charge of this world, someone needs to govern and coordinate. Wei Guogong looked at the gate outside the hall and said leisurely. "From ancient times to the present, those of us who are in power seem to be a group of inconspicuous people, but without us, the world would have been in chaos. ”

“...... Forgive the child for being stupid. ”

Chen Ji didn't know why.

"Tsu'er, do you know how much grain Gyeonggi consumes every month every year?"

Wei Guogong said suddenly.

"Children don't know ......"

Chen Ji said truthfully.

"Then do you know how many farmland farmers there are in Gyeonggi?"

Wei Guogong asked again.

"The child doesn't know. ”

Chen Ji still shook his head and said.

"The people take food as the sky, and food is the first thing. Wei Guogong tilted his head and looked at Chen Ji with a deep gaze. "I wish I could keep that in mind. ”

"Keep in mind the child. ”

Chen Ji was confused.

......

"What about people?"

When Xia Fan, who was standing at the gate of the palace, saw Luo Tang who had gone and returned, he immediately asked unceremoniously.

"Please wait a while, Lord Xia, we will invite them over soon. ”

Luo Tang hurriedly said.

"It's better to be so. ”

Xia Fan glanced up at the sky.

Moment.

There was a sudden commotion from the guards at the palace gate, and then they slowly moved out of the way.

Road ahead.

The cold smoke with scattered hair and willow warblers staggered into Xia Fan's eyes under the custody of Cao Peng and Cao Xiong.

"Childe?"

"Childe?!"

When they noticed Xia Fan standing in the distance, their beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

Xia Fan smiled slightly, he slowly raised his hand and tugged it gently.

Immediately.

The light figures of the two flew towards Xia Fan.

"Childe, the slave family has disappointed you. ”

After the two of them gently landed in front of Xia Fan, Leng Yan suddenly lowered his head with a shameful face.

"Childe ......"

Liu Yingying looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes at the same time.

"I'll talk about it later, so you step aside. ”

Xia Fan casually brushed them behind him.

"Lord Xiazun, now that the people have been safely handed over to you, you can see ......"

Luo Tang stepped forward and said at the right time.

The meaning of the words is self-evident.

"Take your people and leave, and evacuate the people in the palace by the way. ”

Xia Fan restrained his smile and said calmly.

"Lord Xia, you ......"

Luo Tang suddenly felt bad.

"For the sake of you sending people safely, I will give you another cup of tea. ”

Xia Fan said indifferently.

"Your Excellency, don't deceive people too much. ”

At this time.

An old voice came from the depths of the palace.

"I'm just going to deceive people too much, what can you do with me?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

“...... Do you have to do this?"

The old voice said coldly.

"It's just a report and a report. ”

Xia Fan said indifferently.

“...... It seems that you are not willing to give up today, so the old man will meet you. ”

The next moment.

An old man in a black python robe suddenly appeared above the city gate.

"You can't beat me. ”

Xia Fan looked up at the old man and said seriously.

"Cao Peng Cao Xiong, take someone out of here. ”

The old man ignored Xia Fan, and instead said to the people below.

"Yes!"

When Cao Peng and Cao Xiong heard this, they immediately ordered the soldiers who were blocking the city gate to start evacuating in an orderly manner.

"Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Xia Fan raised his hand, and in an instant, countless blades flew up from the hands of these soldiers, hovering densely above each other.

"Good means. ”

The old man at the city gate looked at the sky and pointed at his blades and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just a little trick. ”

Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Go. ”

After the soldiers in front of the city gate evacuated one after another, Xia Fan did not hesitate to pinch his sword and wave it towards the old man.

In an instant.

Countless blades fell on the old man like a raging storm, and in an instant, the entire city gate was blown up with smoke and dust.

"It's really a little trick. ”

I don't know when.

The old man appeared in front of Xia Fan, and when he said this, a short blade appeared in his hand at the same time and wiped it towards Xia Fan's neck.

"You're the one who is waiting. ”

Xia Fan showed a playful smile as if he had expected it.

Without waiting for the old man to react.

Xia Fan had already grasped his wrist holding the blade.

"You know what? What I'm most afraid of when I fight with you is that you won't fight me. ”

Xia Fan stretched out his hand and said something in the old man's ear.

The words fell.

Xia Fan's other hand had already slammed into the old man's chest, and the huge aftermath directly leveled the city gate in front of him, and the stone slabs on the ground flew up and turned into countless fragments.

"This is just the beginning, knowing that your great grandmasters are all thick-skinned. ”

After a punch.

Xia Fan lifted the old man up and glanced at each other.

He instantly dragged the old man's hand and appeared in the huge square inside the palace.

Bang –

The next moment.

He slammed the old man to the ground, and directly smashed a huge pit on the ground, and cracks began to crack everywhere around the pit and spread in all directions, and the temples in the distance were crumbling.

"I said, you're no match for me. ”

Picking up the smashed old man again, Xia Fan couldn't help but smile.

"However, as a member of the Great Jin royal family, it is impossible for the old man to let you trample on the dignity of the Great Jin. ”

The old man grinned, and a few teeth fell out of his mouth.

"What's more, after this incident, it is even more impossible for them to let you go, the old man has not had much time, and it is worth it to exchange your life for a future celestial. ”

"As long as I don't want to die, no one in this world can kill me!"

Xia Fan looked at the old man with burning eyes.

"Heaven and man can't do it, they can't do it!"

Bang –

The words fell.

Xia Fan smashed the old man into the ground again, and at the same time smashed the old man's sternum with a heavy kick.

"I need to let the world know the cost of provoking me, and it all starts with your court. ”

Xia Fan glanced at the dying old man on the ground, kicked the other party away at will, and then he slowly raised a hand.

A fist, to be exact.

Boom –

The moment the fist hits the ground.

The entire capital shook violently, and even a strong earthquake was felt in a radius of 100 miles.

At the same moment.

The walls of the palace collapsed.
