Imperial Capital Chapter 222 The Second Prince's Plan
Under the impact of Shangguanba's 20,000 iron cavalry, there was not one out of ten rebels.
Shangguan Ba directly ordered all the slaughters, leaving not a single living mouth at all.
Among the four major forces, only the White Lotus Sect, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, and the others who fled first, as well as the Ming Sect people who caught up, and the one or two thousand people who evacuated when the Shangguan Ba army had just appeared.
These people belong to two major forces, a part of the White Lotus Sect and all the people of the Ming Sect.
In the direction they fled, Shangguan Ba did not send any pursuers at all.
At this time, five miles away from the battlefield, Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts and Zhang Tu were fighting with several White Lotus.
And around them, many white lotuses have fallen.
These are all Dacheng Realm martial artists.
The Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts didn't know what was wrong, and several of the people in this group of White Lotus suddenly made a move and joined forces to attack him and Zhang Tu.
His own strength is superb, so naturally he is fine, Zhang Tu was caught off guard and was injured a little.
The Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts understood in an instant that these people were also the ones in charge of the elephant!
And just when the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts had slaughtered all these white lotuses, the people of the Ming Sect had already caught up.
The first person has torn off his disguise, and it is Guan Xiangyi.
"Guan Xiangyi!"
The black lotus hundred ghost teeth were about to crack, and at this time, he couldn't care about anything else, and the whole person turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards Guan Xiangyi.
Although he is not Guan Xiangyi's opponent, this tone must come out no matter what.
In the end, you can't beat and run.
Guan Xiangyi saw the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts rushing towards him, not only did he not have any anger, but even showed a smile.
"You're quite sensible when you rush up to die.
How did I not find you so empathetic before. ”
Hearing this, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts were even more annoyed.
"Guan Xiangyi, you are looking for death!"
It's a pity that before he could rush in front of Guan Xiangyi, an extreme sword light suddenly appeared beside him.
The sword light is extremely powerful, and it is definitely the power of the top-grade Dacheng realm.
The Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts were suddenly shocked, their bodies were torn apart, and they turned into black shadows and fled in all directions.
The sword light flashed away, directly destroying the two black shadows.
Affected, the other black shadows suddenly dissipated, and finally revealed the figure of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
There was a sword mark on the shoulder of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, and blood oozed from it.
"Drink!"
Just when another sword light chased away, Zhang Tu of the 'Hundred Ghost Cow' on the side was surrounded by black light, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, and the whole person looked like a crazy demon, slamming into the sword light fiercely.
【Hundred Ghosts and Wild Bull Collision】
In the 'Hundred Ghost Cow', the black light around the picture finally condensed into a hideous war bull.
The black war bull crashed into the sword light, and the sword light was scattered, but at the same time, the black war bull was also cut off by a leg.
The figure of the 'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu retreated, and one of his forearms had been broken at the root.
This is the gap between the middle grade and the top grade.
'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu is already a master in the same realm, but in the face of Jian Lao, he still can't resist.
Of course, this is mainly because Jian Lao can be regarded as a master in the same rank.
And on the way of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts to escape, a dragon chant suddenly appeared in the ears of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
He was shocked.
'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu can temporarily block the pursuers behind him for him, he now knows that Guan Xiangyi just wants him to die today, and he has also found another top-grade master.
With such a difference in strength, he had no idea of fighting at all.
But when he heard this dragon roar, he knew that today was probably a bad day, because he was another high-grade person.
And judging from the fluctuations and qi coming from this dragon groan, he is definitely on the same level as Guan Xiangyi.
The next moment, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts turned into a hundred ghosts again and fled in all directions, this was his ability to press the bottom of the box.
It's a pity that the 'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu behind him has been cut into a human stick by the old sword, and he can leave a life, mainly to interrogate him.
After all, the 'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu is the loyal horse boy of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, which is very clear, even if it is a Taoist priest of the You Fang, he is just a subordinate of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
And the 'Hundred Ghost Cow' Zhang Tu is the real henchman of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
He knew far more things than Daoist Youfang.
Therefore, Guan Xiangyi will directly use secret techniques to kill the Taoist priest of Youfang.
"Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, let's arrest it."
Guan Xiangyi had already caught up, and his speed was certainly not as fast as the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts' extreme body technique.
But Long Po was already in front of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to run away.
I heard a roar in the air.
The hundreds of ghosts incarnated by the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts began to tremble violently at the same time.
And that roar directly locked on these incarnated ghosts of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, which was equivalent to all the power falling on the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
The ghosts made a popping sound, and then shattered one by one.
"It's you!
Mingjiao Longpo! ”
The Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts already knew the identity of the person who was blocking him at this time.
It's just that what he can't figure out is how Guan Xiangyi colluded with Mingjiao?
Now that the identity of Long Po is already known, the one who uses the sword behind him must be the sword elder.
These are the two strongest elders of the Ming Sect.
He was unwilling to accept that his body was like encountering a natural enemy in front of Long Po.
Long Po's [Dragon Yin Gong] is the nemesis of most illusions.
And his top-notch body technique is the ultimate embodiment of some kind of illusion.
And now he can only show his body, and the figure of Long Po has also appeared in front of him.
It was an old woman with an old dragon clock.
But the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts felt an extreme killing intent and a strong sense of crisis on the other party's body.
If you want to fight, he is definitely not an opponent of the other side.
By the time this conclusion popped into his mind, he was already in complete despair.
"Heaven is going to destroy my Hundred Ghost Sect!"
At the last moment, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts chose to fight hard.
If it was just a Guan Xiangyi, under the desperate efforts of the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, he might still suffer some injuries.
After all, although Guan Xiangyi is stronger than the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, after all, this is a sacrificial blow from a top-grade Dacheng realm.
Even if you really enter the Grandmaster Realm, you will inevitably have to suffer a little injury.
No matter how you say it, people are also the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.
In the face of the grandmaster, they are no longer ants, but sheep.
If there are more sheep, they can drive away the wolves.
Of course, all of this is for the lowest level of the grandmasters.
If it is Mi Yusong's realm, no matter how many of them come like Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, they will only kill one with one hand.
However, now the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts are not facing a super master like Mi Yusong.
But after all, he was facing three martial artists of the same realm.
And two of them are significantly stronger than him.
Under the joint efforts of the three of them, they could only be unwillingly knocked out in the end.
And before he fainted, his hands had been cut off.
The entrance to the cave was so smooth that even the meridians were damaged by the internal force, and not a single trace of blood flowed out of it.
Looking at the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts who were captured with their severed hands, Guan Xiangyi exhaled.
It's not that it's so difficult to catch the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
It's been planning for so long. Everything went exceptionally well.
Guan Xiangyi was lamenting that he was finally able to fulfill his promise to the previous sect leader.
And all this is because of Zhang Min's relationship.
Once upon a time, Guan Xiangyi thought that this battle between himself and the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts would eventually end up in a lose-lose situation.
If he fought alone, although Guan Xiangyi could defeat the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts, he was not sure that he would be able to kill him.
If you can't kill him, it's a huge hidden danger.
That's why he's been working hard to practice.
It wasn't until some time ago that I finally had the opportunity to step into the grandmaster.
This gave him hope at last. But it will take a while to get this day.
After all, when he first entered the Grandmaster Realm, facing a Black Lotus Hundred Ghost who was good at escaping, it was still a little difficult to kill the other party.
It was Zhang Min who gave him the opportunity to really be able to complete his goals in this life ahead of schedule.
This operation is because it is facing a top master like the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts.
Not only him, but also Jian Lao and Long Po, did not tell Zhang Min what they were going to do today.
But it's a pity that Zhang Min has already learned the general situation from some of their flaws.
At this time, Zhang Min was walking alone on the chaotic battlefield outside the imperial capital.
And at this time, a convoy suddenly appeared behind Zhang Min, the convoy approached quickly, and a luxury carriage carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared in front of Zhang Min.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the eyes of a wealthy young man fell on Zhang Min's body.
The second prince was suddenly amazed by Zhang Min in front of him.
Zhang Min is not wearing her long skirt now.
He was dressed in a warrior's costume and carried two swords on his back, which gave him a heroic feeling.
Coupled with her beautiful face, the second prince was amazed and deeply immersed in it.
Speaking of the second prince.
As early as a year ago, two of his most trusted aides invited him out of the palace.
At that banquet, he met a young man with a sense of humor.
After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, although the second prince hid his identity, the other party looked like he valued his literary talent.
After understanding, the second prince unexpectedly learned that the other party was actually the previous scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and a student of Huang Yinfang, who had been a scholar for more than ten years.
And his name is also known to the second prince.
There is also a book written by this person in the study of the second prince.
After a conversation, the second prince knocked on the side and asked him why he didn't enter the court as an official, and he is still traveling around.
This man spoke at length.
The main thing is that from Emperor Kangyang to today's Emperor Xuyang, the two generations of emperors have been heavy on martial arts and light on literature.
This led to the situation we are today.
Even if the literati in the south had a full stomach, they were of little use.
Emperor Kangyang abolished the imperial examination system.
When Emperor Xuyang ascended the throne, he also swore that he would consider resuming the imperial examination.
But in the past ten years, scholars in the south still have nowhere to be officials, and there is no way to show their literary talents.
The whole South is now in mourning.
And he told himself that he couldn't bear to be in that kind of environment, so he traveled around.
I want to see if there are other opportunities to express the feelings in my heart and use my own writing to serve the country.
The second prince had a slight movement in his heart at that time.
But no decision was made at the moment.
In the following period, the second prince often went out of the palace to gather with this person.
The two chatted more and more, and the second prince finally learned that there was a group in the south, no, it should be a large group of scholars waiting to be fed.
There is one man who can save them from their troubles.
If there was one person who could help them, hundreds of thousands of scholars in the South would have embraced him.
And at this time, the staff next to the second prince also began to blow the wind in their ears.
The most important of them is the teacher of the second prince, the current scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Du Weizhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!
Have the endorsement of your own teacher.
The second prince made up his mind, began to contact this person, and revealed his true identity.
At this time, the second prince already had a seemingly prosperous avenue in his heart.
thinks that today's Zhengyang Empire is strong, but it advocates force, which is not what it looks like to govern the country.
But obviously there are no too many internal and external troubles.
What do you do with so much force?
He wants to be a ruler of the world.
But unfortunately, his father has made it clear that he will give the throne to his eldest brother.
His eldest brother, like the annoying third brother, is a martial idiot.
Dancing guns and sticks, there is no elegance at all.
The successive dynasties and dynasties can really rejuvenate the empire, which one is not to rule the world with civilian officials.
I have never heard of a military general who carries a sword and leads a horse to govern a country.
I have never heard that civilization is passed on by fists.
Therefore, the second prince gradually had a huge plan in his heart.
He was going to be emperor.
But his father is too strong, and the force in his hands is too strong.
There is not the slightest chance at all.
It was also at this time that the South began to support him.
He gradually discovered that some of his schemes could be easily accomplished with the help of the people in the South.
Is this ability the imperial power?
The second prince began to sink deeply into this power.
Under his several plans, above the court, even the promotion and transfer of the third-rank and fourth-rank officials are under his control.
He began to feel in control of the world.
So his ambitions swelled rapidly.
Just three months ago, when people from the south approached him and told him about a big plan,
The first thought in the second prince's heart turned out to be
Is this feasible?
What is the win rate?
He never thought that he would do such a thing, in fact, it was a great rebellion to kill his brother and father.
He was even defending himself in his heart.
This is done for the sake of a better future for Zhengyang.
He will definitely be a Mingjun.
So in order to cooperate with the requirements put forward by the southerners, the second prince not only helped the southerners contact several key generals.
He even stole all the defense maps near the imperial capital.
Although Emperor Xuyang didn't like the second prince to read, he still loved this obedient, sensible and well-behaved second prince.
Unlike several other sons who are good at swords, guns and halberds, although the second prince likes to read and is physically weak, it is a different point no matter how you say it.
And in the thoughts of Emperor Xuyang.
If you don't learn martial arts, you are equivalent to voluntarily giving up the throne.
He seemed to have voluntarily forgotten that before his father, Emperor Kangyang, except for the two emperors who opened up a new dynasty and restored Zhengyang, all the other emperors had never promoted force to the point where it is now.
He was deeply influenced by his father, Emperor Kangyang, and of course because he stood tall and saw far away, and had already seen the impending catastrophe.
Therefore, he chose to vigorously develop the force.
At the same time, it is logical to think that his successor must also inherit his ideas.
The second prince who has no force value. has been voluntarily excluded by him.
On the contrary, if the three princes practiced so hard, Emperor Xuyang would have more ideas.
It is precisely because of this idea that the second prince, who was treated differently by the emperor, also had another conjecture in his heart.
Will his father just talk, what he really wants is to make himself the emperor.
It's just that the father can't disobey the emperor's grandfather's dying instructions.
Therefore, you can only cultivate yourself secretly.
Otherwise, why is he the best and kindest to himself among the many princes, and he smiles every time he sees him.
And the other princes, even his own brother, the eldest prince has been designated as the next emperor, he rarely gets the smile of his father.
In short, many ideas made the second prince gradually embark on a road of no return.
Today is the final date of action agreed with the South.
Everything was exactly what the people in the south told him.
It's just that at the last moment, when the cavalry rushed down, he still had fear in his heart.
Although the southern gang said that even if this group of cavalry rushed down, it would not hurt him.
But the second prince still took it to heart, and he ordered his subordinates to leave the land of right and wrong with him.
What he had to do now was to go to his teacher.
Among the people who accompanied the emperor out of the city today, there were no scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Only the second prince knew that at this moment, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion was in his own Zhuangzi outside the imperial capital.
He's going to find his teacher now.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the way he had just escaped.
Anyway, even if he is killed by the cavalry, he will be fine.
Then I'll leave early by myself, and I'll be fine.
And nothing will be exposed either.
After all, it is possible that his father had died in that attack.
And who would accuse him of running away?
Until now, the second prince still thought that what he had just done was at most an escape.
Even if his father could survive, at most he would be scolded for a while.
On their way to the Zhuangzi, the team encountered a woman with a sword.
The second prince, who had imagined what he would look like as an emperor eight hundred times, lifted the curtain and took a look when he noticed that the car was slowing down.
After all, the situation outside the imperial capital is so chaotic now, and the leader of the second prince's guard is also afraid of encountering any accidents here.
Therefore, when he saw Zhang Min, who was obviously dressed as a warrior, he ordered the convoy to slow down in case of an emergency.
But what he didn't expect was that the second prince lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and he had a heart-warming feeling.
He had never seen such a heroic woman.
What's more, his current ambitions and desires have swelled to the limit.
Even her father has been killed, what else can't she do?
