Chapter 490: Self-Killing
The arrival of King Xigui has been seen by many people.
"Zhou... Zhou Xiang..."A guard also saw this scene and looked back at Zhou Ziru timidly. In the next second, a knife flash flashed, and the guard's head flew high, but his eyes were still staring at Zhou Ziru, full of fear.
Zhou Ziru slowly lowered his head, not daring to look at those eyes...
As the king of Xigui led the army to arrive, the shouts and killings around gradually became muffled, and many Yulin soldiers even took the initiative to drop their weapons, quietly threw away the ears collected in their arms, and hid to the side.
Those who know the times are Junjie, and everyone understands this truth...
But not everyone agrees!
The two Yulin troops acted very tacitly, one left and one right rushed towards the king of Xigui, one slashed and chopped the horse, the other raised a gun and stabbed people, the division of labor was clear, and they went straight to the king of Xigui.
King Xigui sat still, and two war horses rushed out on both sides, as fast as the wind, as fast as fire, and the two spears were like wild snakes spitting letters, directly piercing the two Yulin soldiers, raising them high, and smashing them aside. Seeing that the two Yulin soldiers were dead, he turned his horse's head and returned to the military formation from both sides of the king of Xigui, one left and one right.
"The boy of the Zhou family! When you see this king, don't you come to bow down? Well? King Xi called out loudly. Leisurely tugging on the reins, he came in the direction of Zhou Ziru.
Zhou Ziru looked at the leisurely Xigui King, without saying a word, turned back to the carriage, and grabbed his heirloom sword: "Unexpectedly, grandpa originally wanted to inherit the family sword, but it was only passed down for three generations..."
This sword was not used against Yi Xiaodao at that time, but now it seems that it may be the right choice.
"Your Majesty, you can't have no one by your side..."The prestige of the Zhou family, his own ambitions, all this sounds so ridiculous now, Zhou Ziru left them behind, and only thought of the young man who was sitting alone on the throne thousands of miles away.
The guards around him have been slaughtered, although the cavalry on the opposite side has also paid the same tragic price, but the victory or defeat is already doomed, and the white-haired old man who came over step by step has victory or defeat in his hand.
"Collect Nanhuai, Fu Donglu, Zhen Chuxiang, I thought there was something amazing in the Zhou family's generation, but I didn't expect it to be just like that. The old man is very disappointed! King Xigui shook his head and sighed, looking at it like that, it seemed that he was really heartbroken.
"Mr. Wu, let's do it." King Xigui suddenly stopped, slowly reined in his horse and turned around, not looking at this side, there was no suspense at all.
Mr. Wu pulled the reins, looked at Zhou Ziru, and muttered in a low voice: "Offended!" The horse leaped over, the sword light shimmering, and only the head was taken.
The sword, stopped, a few inches short. However, this difference of a few inches is not for Zhou Ziru, but for someone else.
"Big... The eldest son..."Mr. Wu was dumbfounded, but fortunately he stopped in time, otherwise it would be Xigui's eldest son, Zou Wen's head.
"Chop, why don't you chop?" The sword was already on his shoulder, but Zou Wen didn't frown, but looked at Mr. Wu and said coldly. No one knows where he came from or where he came from, only that he was already standing in front of Zhou Ziru at this time and blocked the sword for Zhou Ziru.
Mr. Wu hurriedly withdrew his sword, jumped off the ground, supported himself with one hand and knelt down on the ground: "The eldest prince forgives his sins!" The surrounding horsemen also hurriedly dismounted, but they did not all fall to their knees, beware of the few remaining guards around Zhou Ziru.
"Mr. Wu, why don't you cut it? You haven't answered me yet. Zou Wen strode forward, looking down at Mr. Wu, his eyes revealing a trace of hatred, a trace of disgust, and a trace of pity.
"The villain... It's just acting on the orders of the prince..."Mr. Wu is not stupid, he won't resist by himself, anyway, just now King Xigui ordered him to do it, and everyone present heard it. At that time, I didn't know where the eldest prince was, but if he didn't hear the order of King Xigui, he didn't believe it.
Zou Wen looked at his broken sleeve, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "You killed the fourth brother, and you want to kill me today?" You said that your father instructed the king, and the death of the fourth brother was also instructed by your father? ”
Mr. Wu bowed his head and was silent, and the rest of the Xigui soldiers didn't dare to say a word. The fourth son of King Xigui, now there is only this one left, this is the future King of Xigui, don't look at it now is just the son of Xigui, but in Xigui, who dares to be presumptuous in front of him?
"If the eldest prince is fine, the villain will retire first." Mr. Wu's face was a little embarrassed, and he only said this sentence after holding back for a long time, and he was about to get up and leave.
"Let's go? Hmph, I'd like to see where you can go! Zou Wen stood in front of Zhou Ziru, changed his elegant attitude in the past, and looked at Mr. Wu at this time, quite unforgiving.
"Do you think there is still a place for you in this world?" Zou Wen looked at Mr. Wu's back and continued to chatter: "You swing your sword and slash at Da Qi Wenxiang." Those present are there for all to see. From now on, for the imperial court, you are committing a capital crime, and you are already a dispensable dead person. ”
"Want to stay in Xigui to save your life? After a hundred years of my father's reign, I will be the king of Xigui, you killed your fourth brother, and now you still want to murder me, you are so bold! Wash your neck and get ready to die! ”
Zhou Ziru also glanced at Zou Wen in surprise, although he didn't have much contact with him, but he also felt that he was gentle, humble and polite, and he had never been so aggressive as he was today.
Mr. Wu turned around, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The matter of the fourth prince is the villain's negligence, and the villain has never thought of being unfavorable to the prince of Xi, the prince, and the eldest prince..."
"I went to the capital and lost my fourth brother, and now I still say that I have never thought of it as a disadvantage to us. You only wait for me to be in power, Xigui will never have a place for your Wu family! Zou Wen's face was full of anger, and the rest of the Western Guijun had never seen him like this, and they were all too frightened to speak.
Mr. Wu turned around and slowly walked to Zou Wen's side, holding the sword in both hands, and handed it over: "This sword was given by the prince, and now it is returned to the eldest prince, and it is also considered to be returned to the original owner, and the eldest prince is requested to keep it well." ”
Zou Wen took the sword with one hand, still looking at Mr. Wu coldly, and never moved a little.
Mr. Wu raised his head, saw Zou Wen's cold eyes, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Wu knows the kindness of the eldest son, and he will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the eldest son." ”
When Zou Wen was told by Mr. Wu, he became a little nervous in his heart, was he seen through?
Mr. Wu casually picked up a long knife from the ground and put it on his shoulder: "The villain is really ashamed of the king of the West and the Zou family, and today he is willing to judge himself in front of the eldest prince to thank him for his crimes!" With that, the long knife jerked violently, and blood splattered everywhere.
Mr. Wu's strength was too great, blood gushed out, and seeing that he was powerless, his body slowly fell to the ground, and his eyes gradually blurred.
In a trance, Mr. Wu seemed to see the fourth son, and he was lying on the ground like himself, being beaten and chased.
The last time I lay on the ground like this, it seems to be three years ago, when I was still in the capital... Exactly the same as it is now... When Mr. Wu saw that the fourth son was being beaten, he wanted to reach out to his good apprentice, but he couldn't reach it.
Finally, Mr. Wu turned over and finally touched the arm of the fourth son, this time tightly clenched it in his hand, and said that he would not let go of anything. The blood flowed faster, and the ground was red with blood...
Zhou Ziru looked at Mr. Wu, who was slowly losing his life, and stepped forward and said, "You deliberately want to force him to death?" ”
"Well, he won't survive. His father didn't believe him at all, living in Xigui, he would sooner or later touch his father's scales. If he dies, at least his family can be saved. Zou Wen said lightly.
Zhou Ziru shook his head slightly: "Is it too early for you to do this now... I'm about to become Xigui's prisoner..."He didn't pity Mr. Wu, he just talked about things.
"It's not early, when I anger my father, I'm afraid it's too late to die..."
"Wen'er! You're okay! When King Xigui heard that something was wrong with the movement behind him, he turned around and saw his eldest son come back from the dead, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly galloped over.
"Father." When Zou Wen saw King Xigui, he bowed his body, but he did not lower his eyes, but looked at King Xigui quietly.
King Xigui jumped off his horse and just took two steps forward, wanting to get closer to his eldest son, but Zou Wen took two steps back instead.
King Xigui was puzzled: "Wen'er, what are you doing here?" Quick, come to Daddy, they don't dare to do anything to you! ”
"Father, do you remember how the second, third, and fourth brothers died?" Zou Wen has heard a lot of news in the Yulin Army.
King Xigui was stunned: "They..."
"Father, do you think... Can we really win the court? Zou Wen lowered his head, as if he was also thinking about this problem.
King Xigui looked at his eldest son, the four sons, all of whom were compatriots of the same mother, from childhood to adulthood, but he was not like himself at all. But looking at it like this today, although it doesn't look like itself, it's a bit fucking.
"Wen'er, what do you mean by that? What did the court tell you? King Xi couldn't help but ask.
Zou Wen suddenly raised his head and looked at King Xigui, his eyes were firm: "Father, we obviously can't win the court, but you still have to rebel." The second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and many soldiers and people all died innocently and tragically, is this what you want to see, father? ”
King Xigui looked at his eldest son blankly, and looked at it quietly for a while, a pair of shining old eyes slowly narrowed.
"Not bad! That's what I want to see! I want to see our Zou family, standing in the capital! Look down on the world! King Xi suddenly became furious, and roared loudly.
Zou Wen showed a wry smile and nodded, "Okay... Good... Our Zou family... Overlooking the world. Father... You might as well take a look at this first..."Zou Wen said as he took out the sword of the Xigui King that he had just hidden behind him, crossed the sword with both hands, and drew the sword out of its sheath.
"Wen'er! What are you doing! King Xigui panicked.
"Dad, the unfilial son has taken his leave!" Zou Wen held the sword in both hands, and when he passed the sword, blood beads rose. Zou Wen, the eldest son of Xigui, fell down softly, and Zhou Ziru, who was closest to him, didn't have time to help him.
"Wen'er!!" King Xigui cried out hoarsely, and watched his last son fall in front of him.
King Xigui knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, his white hair fluttering in the air, his eyes were cloudy, and there was no more glint of essence. All of a sudden, he seemed to be a teenager old, and he ran out of oil and dried up...
