Under the full moon, the duel between the two sword gods is still going on, and the victory is not scored.

However, inside and outside the imperial city, the sky has changed.

The originally peaceful and festive atmosphere has long been replaced by slaughter and tragedy.

Su Chen sat in the pavilion on the terrace, looking at the sword light and sword shadow from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The kingship is rich and noble, and many people throughout the ages have not escaped this magic whirlpool.

Fight for this, fight for this, and die for this.

What is left in the end?

It's just a big dream, and it's just empty in an instant.

"You don't seem surprised that something so big happened tonight, you should have known about it in advance, right?"

Su Chen turned his head and glanced at Xiao Linzi next to him.

The latter nodded when he heard this, but he did not deny it.

"I am His Majesty's personal companion, and I have heard of his plans."

"Then I'm even more weird. Since you know that Your Majesty is going to do it, this is an excellent opportunity to show your loyalty, and you should be on the invitation platform at this time, why did you come to me to hide from Qingjing? ”

"If I'm inviting the platform, I'm afraid I won't live tomorrow."

Lin Fan shook his head.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has changed more than just his appearance.

The wine glass he put in his hand raised his head, his eyes seemed to be a little cloudy and looked at Su Chen, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, who do you think will win tonight?" ”

As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth.

How could Su Chen answer this kind of sensitive question, he just shook his head and said lightly: "I'm just an idle little eunuch, where do I understand these national affairs, who wins and who loses doesn't mean anything to me, I just need to do my job......"

These words are not leaky.

However, Lin Fan knew that the young man in front of him was far above him in terms of mental wisdom, so how could he not see through it.

Fortunately, he is weak by nature, and he seems to have no intention of fighting for power, but he will not be his enemy.

So Lin Fan didn't ask.

He took a drink to himself, and said as if talking to himself: "Your Majesty does have some means, in the past few years, he has secretly attracted many people, and through the relationship between King Jin, he has secretly recruited many martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes. But he didn't know how terrible the eldest princess was, and if he hadn't insisted on choosing to do it now, maybe I would have stayed with him......"

"King Jin?"

When Su Chen heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

I heard that when the king of Jin was young, he also used to be a chivalrous martial artist, and he had friendships with many masters of the rivers and lakes, and he once worshiped Wudang Mountain to learn art.

In the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, there is indeed a lot of energy.

With him taking the lead, it is no wonder that so many masters can be recruited.

It's just that this little forest knows a little too much.

And listening to his tone, he doesn't seem to be optimistic about Emperor Ming.

"I see. Have you taken refuge in the eldest princess? ”

"I was originally a member of His Highness. I was tortured in the Department of Internal Affairs, and if it wasn't for the eldest princess's people who came forward to protect me, I wouldn't have survived it. ”

Lin Fan smiled faintly.

He had never told anyone about this matter, and it was not until this moment that Su Chen knew that the reason why Lin Fan was able to enter the imperial study as an errand was not because he was trusted by Emperor Ming, but because the eldest princess was behind the scenes.

It can be seen that the eldest princess is really scheming.

Even such a trivial matter, she can know it clearly.

And silently, he buried a nail beside the Ming Emperor, and the ridiculous Ming Emperor thought he was reliable.

As everyone knows, half of those cronies around him are estimated to be deliberately arranged by the eldest princess, right?

In this way, his plans are also under the control of the eldest princess.

So here's the problem.

The eldest princess had long known that there would be such an assassination, why didn't she stop it in time and strangle it in the cradle?

Or does she want to take the opportunity to go further?

"The eldest princess is really a good means."

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but if he said more, he wouldn't say a word again.

Too much talk can make you lose it all.

Lin Fan took the opportunity to speak: "I once heard the eldest princess mention Brother Chen, saying that you are quite knowledgeable and insightful, and when you left, you were specially invited, has Brother Chen changed his mind now?" ”

"It's His Highness who has an overreputation. What kind of knowledge and knowledge can an idle person like me have is just reading books to pass the time. Neither for fame nor for power, and besides, His Highness is eloquent and strategic, what can a stupid person like me help her? It's better to honestly guard this Kwai Yuan and not add to the chaos. ”

For this answer, Lin Fan also seemed to have expected it.

If Su Chen really had the heart to climb up, he would have left with the eldest princess in the first place, and it would not have been his turn.

Speaking of which, both of them suddenly fell silent one after another.

Time changes with many things.

The two are now sitting next to each other, but they can no longer talk about each other as they did at the beginning.

Su Chen has not changed from beginning to end, he is indifferent to everything, quiet and peaceful, like an outsider.

And he is already in the game, so he naturally can't get rid of it.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, they were not destined to be fellow travelers.

Having come to this point, it is really almost time to part ways.

……

And just as the two were talking.

The duel on the Zhengyang upstairs is also time to divide the winner.

I only heard a long sword groan, which resounded in the sky, and the flying sword swordsman in white clothes and long hair stood up with his sword, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the bright moon in the sky, and the long sword in his hand burst out from top to bottom.

There are no words to describe the style of that sword.

It is like the Milky Way pouring into the sky, and it is like a fairy flying sword breaking through the sky.

A sword like a god is like a fairy, shocking the Quartet.

But the life-killing sword monarch was by no means easy to deal with, his whole body burst out with a rolling evil aura, the long sword vibrated as if it blended with the night, and the terrifying killing intent rose to the sky, like the sword of hell in the palm of death.

Glory and death.

In the horrified gaze of everyone, the two swords clashed.

Immediately after, the sound of a broken sword came.

The two of them were staggered, and then, they fell down at the same time.

The final result of this duel is a lose-lose situation.

The two kendo powerhouses both died under each other's stunts, and they died with a smile, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

The two sword gods fell together, and none of them broke the limit and broke through the realm.

Or, in other words, both of them are too strong, and their swordsmanship has reached the power of the innate realm, so they are both fated by the sword.

Everyone sighed and sighed.

And at this time, on the platform of the Imperial City, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air.

The rain of arrows in the sky was overwhelming, mixed with huge crossbow arrows with the thickness of an arm, which were all special armor-piercing bed crossbows made by the Imperial City, with great strength, capable of piercing through ten layers of iron armor, a real soldier's heavy weapon.

The eldest princess had already secretly arranged the city guards around the invitation platform in advance.

In the face of such a sharp weapon, even a martial arts master who forges bones and refining the marrow is difficult to resist.

Suddenly.

Those black-clothed assassins and the army under the command of the Ming Emperor suffered heavy casualties.

Immediately afterwards, countless masters of the Skilled Warriors who were ambushed in the surrounding area dispatched one after another, surrounding and killing from all directions.

The situation on the field was reversed in an instant.

The intelligence and preparation of both sides are not at the same level at all, and perhaps from the beginning, the outcome is already doomed.
