Chapter 6: Dagger

"Your Majesty's movements are so fast."

Xiao Changling stood quietly in the hall, his expression was very flat, very indifferent, he squinted coldly, and there was a treacherous smile on his lips, but there was a faint hint between his words, revealing a murderous coldness.

At this moment, in the solemn Xianyang Palace, the swords and soldiers were shining, and only the sound of the collision of metal armor, mixed with the edge of the blade, was clanging.

Countless cold knives, drawn out of the sheath, the knife momentum is stacked layer by layer, flashing with a piercing knife light; Xiao Changling stood in the center, unmoved, surrounded by more than 20 royal forest soldiers with swords and armor.

However, even with the addition of knives and axes, in the face of these more than 20 steel knife blades, Xiao Changling's expression was calm, his face was light and light, and under the coercion of a group of Yulin long knives, he was calm and comfortable, and he looked particularly chic and comfortable; From time to time, he tilted his head slightly, and raised his sword eyebrows playfully at those sword-wielding guards, casting a provocative look.

This understatement glance, blazing hot, eyes as sharp as an arrow, breaking through the air like a string, and like a netherworld fire, burning thousands of miles away, gradually becoming small and small, becoming the sharpest end of the sword.

Under the siege of the armor soldiers, he can still be so calm and calm, with sharp eyes like knives, teasing those murderous knife and axe hands, looking at the entire Great Zhou, only he Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, has such a resolute mind and courage, this is not arrogant, but from the depths of the self-confidence and pride.

None of the Imperial Guards present dared to look directly into his hot eyes, as if if they would be shot through by a rain of arrows and arrows in the sky. They know very well what kind of character this man in front of them is dressed in white and his face is like water, that is the second prince of the first emperor's favorite, who was once only one step away from the throne, and is the world-shattering and meritorious Xuanhe, who is in charge of 400,000 Jingbei iron cavalry, swept away hundreds of thousands of Southern Chu elites, killed the Rouran thieves and retreated, and made countless immortal achievements.

The innate majesty and inviolable arrogance, how can it not be daunting, just because they, the royal guards, also want to put this Jingbei commander who licks blood on the knife edge and rolls in the pile of dead people to death, which is tantamount to a fantasy.

Therefore, I saw that those knife and axe hands who were originally fierce and vicious, at this time, they all changed color in a daze, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and even some people were so frightened that they took several steps back.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Changling glanced at it, and inexplicably felt a little funny, the gaze in his eyes was like two. The blade of the sword, towards those golden-armored royal forest soldiers, slashed at the face, as if it was about to pierce through them with a sword; Suddenly, Xiao Changling laughed coldly.

"Come on, do it, don't you want to take the head of the lonely item! Lone is standing here, come, come up, and kill the national thief! ”

saw that Xiao Changling had a murderous look on his face, approaching step by step, and two sharp arrow-like eyes, wrapped around ghostly shadows, shot straight out; Every time he took a step forward, the guards with swords would automatically take a step back; The rumbling sound of Liuyun combat boots stepping on the ground paved with white jade was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, shaking everyone's hearts.

At this time, Xiao Changyao had already returned to the imperial case, sitting on the dragon couch, quietly staring at the second brother who had become a trapped beast in the audience, but there was no trapped beast, but it highlighted the second brother who was in a violent tiger.

After a while, Xiao Changling looked back and looked at the Son of Heaven on the dragon throne, his pupils shone with a brilliant light like the silver flowers of the fire tree, and said with a slight mockery.

"Your Majesty, just to invite the ministers to a meal, I am really honored to have such a big battle. Your Majesty must have been planning for a long time for today. ”

When Xiao Changyao heard this, he suddenly laughed, and said with a hint of ridicule.

"You're a fierce tiger, deal with a tiger, if I don't plan well, you won't have to swallow me in one bite. Ah, I treat you, but I have taken great pains, are you still satisfied? ”

Looking at Xiao Changyao's smug look, a great disgust rose from the depths of Xiao Changling's heart; However, Xiao Changling's expression was still calm and sparkling on the surface of the lake, and there was nothing unusual on the face that was like a crown of jade.

For a moment, Xiao Changling slowly opened his arms, and the snow-white cloak was naturally gathered behind him, his move not only had a kind of atmosphere of scolding Fang Xuan, but also a kind of pride in wanting to take the world into my arms.

Then, Xiao Changling shook his cuffs slightly, focused his gaze together, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty thinks that even these few people want to stop me? You should know very well that since I dare to come to Beijing, what is there to be afraid of! ”

When Xiao Changling said this, his face condensed into ice, and his tone was low and powerful, although it seemed to be a brushstroke, it was like carrying thousands of clouds, penetrating layers of haze, and dividing the sky into two.

After being silent for about a long time, Xiao Changyao leaned on the couch, looking very casual, but in fact, the imperial majesty of his body had not diminished at all.

"Second brother, I said that you are a smart person, and the biggest weakness of a smart person is: self-righteousness, do you think that in this way, you can threaten me?! I tell you that the most hated thing in my life is being threatened by others! ”

That's right.

He is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the king of the Great Zhou, the lord of the world, as the emperor, he never likes to be coerced by his subordinates, this is also his father, the emperor personally taught him the way of being a king, he has always remembered it.

However, he ignored one point, at this moment, this proud standing in the palace, stubborn and extremely calm King Qin, his own brother, is not a puppet that can be easily handled, he has the capital to dare to say "no" to the emperor and dare to bargain with the imperial court, because behind him, there are three states, there are 400,000 troops, and there are countless Jingbei generals and Beidi men who support him and are willing to follow him......

At the moment, the air in the Xianyang Hall was extremely solemn, except for the sound of everyone's breathing, and the sound of the golden dragon's water leak "ticking, ticking", there was no other sound to be heard.

But soon, Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back, looked at His Majesty the Emperor with an intriguing look, and glanced at the several steel knives beside him that were about to hang around his neck, showing an extremely contemptuous look on his face, and smiled.

"The minister also wants to tell Your Majesty that the most hated thing in Lone's life is to let people put a knife on their necks. It is said that these are a few miscellaneous pieces, even when the first emperor and his old man were there, he never pointed at the lonely king with soldiers. In the whole world, there is only one person who dares to point a knife at Lone, and that is Duan Wenzhen, the saint of the Southern Chu soldiers. Lone once said that this person will not die for a day, and Lone will not take off his armor for a day. I think at the beginning, how many strong men in my Da Zhou had been injured by his snow cloud spear! And now, the former Chu army god general has long been turned into a dry bone in the grave, lying in front of the loess of the princess's tomb, repenting for being an enemy alone. If you don't believe it, can you still compare to Duan Wenzhen back then?! Or do you want to be with him underground! ”

After that, Xiao Changling looked up to the sky and laughed, but in this wild laughter, it was so chilling and terrifying.

Cold words, coupled with terrifying laughter, like a piercing sound of the magic flute, are gradually disintegrating people's minds, shaking people's beliefs, and making people on the verge of collapse little by little.

Xiao Changling's move, this words, is like shooting a fatal arrow towards the heart of the Great Zhou Tianzi, he seems to be telling Xiao Changyao, even Duan Wenzhen couldn't kill me back then, and even the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Nanchu couldn't kill me, let alone you, even if you are the emperor, what can you do, it's not that I Xiao Changling has nothing to do!

At this moment, Xiao Changyao, who was sitting in front of the imperial case, changed his lazy movements just now and slowly sat up straight after hearing Xiao Changling's words.

"King Qin, do you think that you are the beloved son of the first emperor, and you have fought for the country all these years, and you have made great achievements, so you can hold me hostage unscrupulously, and I won't dare to do anything to you; Do you think that if you are the commander of Jingbei with 400,000 heroes, you can ignore the laws of the imperial court and not take me seriously. I can tolerate you once, twice, but that doesn't mean I'll accommodate you forever, do you really think I won't dare to punish you?! ”

The further down he talked, the more iron-blue Xiao Changyao's face became, this deep emperor, who had always been moody, finally couldn't hold back a little, and there was a rare gaffe; Moreover, at this time, Xiao Changyao's title for Xiao Changling also inadvertently changed, from the previous "Ah Gou" and "Second Brother" to the "King of Qin" in his current mouth, in an instant, from brother to monarch.

Who knows, seeing Xiao Changyao's iron-blue and somewhat purple face, Xiao Changling's heart actually gave birth to an unprecedented pleasure, after all these years, in Xiao Changling's impression, it seems that he has never won against his brother, this time, he finally won once, and God finally lived up to it.

"You really don't dare." Xiao Changling raised his eyebrows and looked at the man on the dragon couch, his eyes were full of mockery, and he released a lot of bone-chilling cold light.

Under the four eyes, the Son of Heaven in the eyes of King Qin was so despicable and unbearable; And the King of Qin in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is so perverse and ruthless.

At the same time, outside the hall, there was also tension, and the situation between the two sides was extremely tense.

Although the palace gate was closed, the sound of the intersection of swords and soldiers inside could still be transmitted from the gap in the tall palace gate to the outside, and even through the thick vermilion lacquer carved dragon gate, the obvious movement could be faintly heard.

Although Long Xifeng stood at the foot of the stone steps, he could vaguely distinguish the sound in the hall with his extraordinary ear power, the sound of the friction of the blade being drawn out of the sheath, and the sound of metal colliding with the armor......

Suddenly, the deputy general of the Tiefutu Army, who was as fierce as fire, suddenly screwed together with two thick black eyebrows, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart, could it be that something happened to the king?

As the deputy general of Tiefutu, the general of the army relied on by Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, Long Xifeng, like many generals of the Jingbei Army, was absolutely obedient to His Royal Highness the King of Qin. In his eyes, King Qin's military orders are above all else; King Qin's safety is above all else, so of course he does not allow anyone to harm His Royal Highness King Qin, even if that person is the emperor.

Thinking of this, Long Xifeng sank his face, tightly held the "Jingbei Knife" under his waist, and took a step forward, as if he wanted to forcibly break into the palace.

Unexpectedly, Long Xifeng had just taken the first step, and a captain of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward to stop him and said to him coldly.

"The general stops, this is the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and you are not allowed to trespass without Your Majesty's edict."

You must know that Long Xifeng is a well-known fiery temper in the Jingbei Army; At this moment, seeing this little lieutenant who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he stood in front of himself, and he was not ashamed, Long Xifeng's face was cold, and he "hummed" lightly at the end of his nose.

"You don't have a small tone, a mere lieutenant, you dare to talk to this general like this!"

However, in the face of the aggressive Long Xifeng, the captain did not back down, he pressed the sword on his waist and looked at Long Xifeng arrogantly.

"Humble duty, on the orders of His Majesty, guard the main hall, please don't embarrass the general."

"What if Ben had to go in!" Long Xifeng's face was full of Ling Ran, and his eyes were full of murderous aura, staring at the Imperial Forest Cadet Captain.

"I am just acting on orders, and if the general insists on breaking through, then he will not blame him for being ruthless."

After that, just listening to the sound of "brushing", the captain of the Royal Forest Military Academy wearing gold armor drew his sword from his waist and pointed his sword at the dragon west wind; Immediately afterwards, there was another "Bang Bang Bang Bang

For a time, outside the Xianyang Palace, the gold-armored Imperial Forest Army, holding a knife and a bright blade, faced the heavily armored iron floating slaughter.

"Okay, there is a kind, dare to draw a knife in front of Lao Tzu!" Long Xifeng sneered, and cast two disdainful glances at those who claimed to be the pride of the sky.

Immediately, Long Xifeng's body was like an iron tower, standing straight and straight, holding the handle of the Jingbei knife in his left hand, and his right hand was raised high, clenched into a fist, and suddenly waved it down with great force, and shouted.

"Brothers, copy guys!"

At the sound of an order, the three Tiefu Tu armorers, neatly aligned and fast, raised the crossbow hanging from their waists, the crossbow pivot was opened, and the crossbow arrows were wound.

The Tiefutu warriors, who are famous for their field attacks, are unusual, and this time they did not draw their knives out of their sheaths, but took out their infrequently used crossbows; Looking at it, the three Tiefutu raised their crossbows one after another. On the crossbow machine of each crossbow, three black crossbow arrows are slightly tilted in the air. The cold arrowhead, glowing with a biting cold light, reflected a dazzling white light.

Under the powerful crossbow arrow attack of Tiefutu, the advantage that the Imperial Forest Army was originally proud of,—— long knife array is no longer the only advantage, no matter how many steel knives can resist this rain of arrows?

Long Xifeng laughed.

"I want to see if it's your Imperial Forest Army's sword fast, or my Iron Floating Tu's crossbow fast!"

The twilight is heavy, inside and outside the palace, there is a killing intent, everyone has a killing intent, everyone has a killing intent.

Perhaps he heard the sound outside the hall, Xiao Changling, who was standing in the hall, turned his head slightly, and a faint cold light like Changhong's sword qi erupted along his eye sockets and hit the faces of those gold-armored warriors.

More than 20 Imperial Forest Soldiers gathered around Xiao Changling, although they still held knives in their hands, but they had long lost their previous murderous aura, they could see very clearly, the person was dressed in a long robe like snow, and the white clothes were slowly approaching, and they were getting closer and closer......

Although Xiao Changling only took a step forward, everyone felt that it was like a towering mountain, overwhelmingly pressing; A soul-devouring momentum erupted from his body, crushing them directly, making them all a little breathless.

"Is Lone scary?"

Although the words were low, they were wrapped in a fierce meaning, which made people shudder.

……

"Dangchang!"

As soon as the words fell, a royal forest soldier led by him looked at Xiao Changlingsen's cold expression, his face suddenly turned pale, his whole body trembled violently, his hands were uncontrollably released, and the long knife fell to the ground, making a metal crisp sound of "Guangdang"; And his whole body stumbled and fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.

Seeing this situation, everyone was unexpected, and looked at each other.

Looking at the long knife that fell to the ground, and then at the warrior who had long lost his soul, Xiao Changling smiled contemptuously, slowly squatted down, picked up the imperial long knife, and then stood up.

I saw that Xiao Changling was holding the knife, putting the smooth and cold back of the knife on the palm of his hand, and gently clasping his index finger on the clear and snowy knife, buzzing, like the beating of war drums.

This clear sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shaking the man's heart.

At this moment, Xiao Changling was holding a long knife and staring at the eyes of the Imperial Forest Army, full of resoluteness, indifference and arrogance.

"Are you afraid of being lonely?!" Xiao Changling opened his mouth lightly and asked with a smile.

This royal forest warrior, who had already been frightened, had no choice but to tremble his voice and respond in a panic, "King Qin Huwei, his subordinates are panicking. ”

Xiao Changling dragged the knife and slowly walked towards the man, the tip of the knife slashed on the white and flawless ground, making a "bang" friction sound; When he got close to the man, Xiao Changling stopped, held the hilt of the knife with his backhand, stared at the man coldly, and suddenly laughed.

"I've heard people mention it before, the Royal Forest Army is the royal guard, the Son of Heaven, and the police patrol division, I really didn't expect that in the dignified Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, there would be such a bad seed who can't even hold a knife. With this little ability, I also want to take Lone's life! ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins......"

It was too late, it was fast, in this short moment, Xiao Changling's eyes were cold, and the murderous aura rose between his eyebrows, only to see his right hand lightly raised, and the blade of the long knife drew a cold fan along the outline of the air.

The domineering knife momentum, like a white match, turned into a long sea of heaven, and slashed down in the sky.

The sword wind sounded, and a scarlet and piercing blood arrow splashed all over the sky along the man's body, and gurgling blood was sprinkled everywhere.

As blood spurted out, the samurai fell silently in a pool of blood.

A large area of red blood stained the corners of Xiao Changling's clothes; Blood slowly dripped down the tip of the knife, and even the hand where he held the knife was stained with blood. Dressed in white and bloody, it is like a plum blossom stamen, adding a touch of bright red.

All the people, seeing this scene, whether it was Gao Yong, who was the palace marshal, or those ordinary guards of the Imperial Forest Army, were shocked, and everyone's faces were full of fear for the man in front of them.

And at this moment, Xiao Changyao on the royal couch was also terrified in his heart, he didn't expect that his younger brother, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, would dare to kill in front of him. He sat up straight suddenly, pressed his hands on the cases in front of him, and looked at Xiao Changling at the bottom of the imperial stairs with an incredulous look; However, as an emperor, he was not driven by shock for too long, and his face soon regained its previous composure and majesty.

From the emperor to the royal forest army, they looked at Xiao Changling's gaze, as if they saw a demonic existence, and they didn't dare to face his murderous eyes, nor did they dare to subconsciously approach him.

However, in Xiao Changling's eyes, there was no change because of the murder he had just started and the strange eyes of everyone, and he still had his usual indifferent expression, as calm as a frozen lake, and he couldn't see a little tenderness.

Next, Xiao Changling did not hesitate at all, coldly glanced at the silent Imperial Forest Guard, and without looking back, he carried the bloody knife, let the blood drip from the head of the knife, returned to his seat quietly, and sat down slowly.

After sitting down, Xiao Changling was expressionless, as if he was fine, he put the knife in his hand, like carrying a worn-out broom, "popped", and gently slapped it twice on the desk.

This kind of style is completely a scoundrel in the streets and alleys, where is still the noble, noble and majestic His Royal Highness King Qin.

The handsome face, the handsome sword eyebrows, the murderous knife, and the smell of blood permeating the knife made Xiao Changling at this moment, like a Shura killing god returning from hell, look particularly terrifying.

"Light dang" sounded.

Xiao Changling frowned slightly, and then slammed the knife that had just killed someone in his hand on the table.

"Lone said that Lone hates being put on the neck with a knife the most."

A faint word, like flying snow fluttering in the sky, fluttered one after another, and even the surrounding air was all shrouded in coldness.

Immediately, Xiao Changling sneered in a deep voice, his eyes swept away, and he happened to see a plate of mare's milk grapes in front of him.

So, Xiao Changling rubbed his hands, picked up the grapes on the plate, one after another, put them in his mouth, and ate them comfortably. At that time, there were still undried blood stains on Xiao Changling's hands, so the grapes pinched between his fingers, with blood stains, were sent into his mouth together; After eating, Xiao Changling also sucked his fingers and licked the thick smell of blood with the tip of his tongue, and there was a feeling of unfinished business.

In such a situation, no matter how elegant and honest you are, it is unbearable to see Xiao Changling's behavior.

In front of His Majesty the Emperor, the King of Qin, who had made great achievements, killed the guards of the Son of Heaven in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and after killing people, he sat there casually, feasting as if he was not killing people just now, but just beating a rabbit.

Finally, Gao Yong's face tensed, and he couldn't help but scold.

"King Qin, do you know what kind of place this is, this is the Xianyang Palace!"

"So what!"

So what, it's just a simple four words, but blurted out from the cold and affectionate lips of the king of Jingbei, it is like covering the entire Xianyang Hall with layers of cold air, bringing endless bleak breath to this quiet and silent hall.

"In front of His Majesty, His Highness dares to kill people with a blade, and His Highness is not afraid of national law?!"

However, the chill on Xiao Changling's body did not diminish by half, and he didn't even bother to raise his head, but he was extremely indifferent, and left a rhetorical question like a thousand-year-old iceberg, which poked directly at Gao Yong's heart.

"Aren't you here to scold me because you are helpless?"

Gao Yong was speechless for a while.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, aren't you afraid that people in the world will talk about it?"

It was only at this moment that Xiao Changling slowly raised his head, stared at Gao Yong's eyes, and looked at the Great Zhou Tianzi on the throne with a proud attitude of a king, and the whole person looked very indifferent and solemn.

"How to write lonely in the history of the world, you martial artist can't see it, and you can't expect it!"

"You ......" Gao Yong's face turned red, and thousands of words were blocked in his chest, unable to speak.

Exactly the same as Gao Yong's performance, at this time, the ruler of the Great Zhou Empire, although he still maintained the majesty of the lord of the world, his face had already surged with a fierce anger, lingering between his eyebrows and eyes, and gradually forming a fire.

After a long time, Xiao Changling stood up, picked up the yellow silk edict in his hand, shook it at Xiao Changyao casually, and then revealed an elusive sinister smile, and the resolute outline of the corners of his lips became clearer and clearer.

"Your Majesty, this edict has been accepted by the minister. You can rest assured that since you are the commander of the whole army, the minister will naturally fulfill his duties. The minister assured His Majesty that as long as I, Xiao Changling, was in one day, my 400,000 Jingbei troops would definitely live up to Your Majesty's high hopes and protect the thousands of miles of northern territory for the Great Zhou. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Changling drifted away, and as far as his eyes could see, no one dared to raise his head, no one dared to look directly, so he could only hang his head weakly.

In this way, Xiao Changling carried a solemn body and proudly walked out of the Xianyang Palace.

Slaughtering, proud, because of the strong self-confidence from the depths of his heart!
