Chapter 293: Seizure of the Throne (Part II)
Qiao Zhengyu listened and said suspiciously: "The military camp is the foundation of a country, and its military discipline is very strict, and the sergeants in it do not have this power except for the imperial court who can be dispatched. Brother Ji said that those sergeants were ordered by others, could it be that this person γγγγγγ β
Ji Dan nodded and said, "Well, Brother Qiao is right, that person is extremely powerful in the Holy City, except for the city lord Xuanyuan Bolong, he has the highest status in the city." This person was Xuanyuan Wuji, the son of Xuanyuan Bolong, and it was his order that caused the tribe to be slaughtered. β
"Holy City?" Qiao Zhengyu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Ji, we came all the way, and we didn't pass through any cities, but we don't know where this 'Holy City' is located?
Ji Dan glanced at Qiao Zhengyu and said, "Brother Qiao doesn't know, thirty years ago, there was a big city on this grassland, called 'Holy City', its flowers are like a brocade, and it is very lively, but it is not inferior to the Central Plains.
"And the city lord at that time, Xuanyuan Bolong, martial arts is the world's first, the first in the world, Wen Tao Wuluo, no one can compare. In order to seek the protection of the city lord, the small countries and tribes in the vicinity came to the holy city every year to pay tribute, bow down to the ministers, and be willing to be a vassal land.
"That Xuanyuan Wuji is the son of Xuanyuan Bolong, whose mind is not right, and he is often ambitious. The reason why he sent people to slaughter my people was not because he had anything to do with my people, on the contrary, I had some blood relationship with him, because he was my half-brother, so to speak, he was a family. β
"Well, that's no wonder. Qiao Zhengyu nodded slightly and said, "Brother Ji is not only Xuanyuan Wuji's elder brother, but also the eldest prince of the Holy City, and the first choice to inherit the city lord. Although you have been outcast, this has always been a threat to Xuanyuan Wuji.
"In order to successfully inherit the position of city lord, he must find a way to remove all obstacles, even for his own brother, he will never show mercy to his subordinates. There are simply too many stories of this kind of struggle for power in ancient times, so it is not surprising.
"Despite this, Xuanyuan Wuji inherited the throne, but he didn't think about brotherhood at all, and killed innocents, which is really inferior to beasts and extremely vicious. This cannot be forgiven in any way. β
Ji Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, although Xuanyuan Wuji has a good calculation, but this move is to add to the snake, and if it is too much, it will show its feet." Because, I grew up in the tribe and never questioned my origins.
"And it was because he was clever enough to send men to slaughter my people that I had to be suspicious, and I began to investigate the matter. Sure enough, as the investigation deepened, there was more and more evidence, which also confirmed my life experience. β
"That said, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is the innocent lives of the tribe and who is responsible for them. In order to seek justice, I resolutely went to the Holy City, and exposed Xuanyuan Wuji's crimes in front of Xuanyuan Bolong, so that he received the punishment he deserved.
"Of course, I later regained my original identity and inherited the position of lord of the cityγγγγγγ β
When Ji Dan said this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, looked into the distance, and said: "Although thirty years have passed since this incident, everything seems to be just yesterday. β
Qiao Zhengyu saw that he was deeply touched, nodded and thought: "Brother Ji's background is prominent, but there is no revelation, which shows that he is broad-minded and approachable. Not only that, but he also called me a brother and sister, how could I dare to accept such a favor. β
I was very ashamed in my heart, and I didn't realize that my face was red, and I was about to talk, when I suddenly saw two horses coming quickly in this direction not far away. The two horses were as fast as they were flying, but they were chasing one after the other, and in less than a moment they had come to them.
"He Jianping, you stop for me! Don't run if you have the ability, how about you and I fight for another 300 rounds?" The person who shouted was not very old, handsome, and carried a long sword in his hand, and chased after him.
The man in front of him was the opposite, full of silver hair, long beard and white eyebrows, holding the reins tightly, and leaning over the horse, but he was silent for a word.
Seeing that the two were chasing closer and closer, the young man behind him suddenly spread his wings, jumped up from the horse, turned a few heels in mid-air, and landed in front.
Standing firm at his feet, the long sword pointed, and shouted: "He Jianping, look where you are running today, look at the sword!" Two sword flowers shook in his hand, "Hmm, hmph," the two swords, quickly attacked the old man.
The old man was unexpected, and immediately panicked, and jumped off the horse in a hurry. Stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand of the person who came, and said, "Boy, I have no grievances with you, why do you chase after me and refuse to let me go?"
The young man sneered and said, "Why? He Jianping, don't you know what you did by yourself, today I am doing the right thing for heaven, and you take your life!"
He pushed the old man away and swung his sword at his throat.
The old man didn't panic, rolled on the spot, took out a long sword from his waist, stretched out his hand to block it, only to hear the sound of "dang", and it was already blocking the opponent's long sword.
