Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dragon Slayer (I)

Zhan Xu raised his eyes and saw Xuanyuan Chi walking in.

Now Xuanyuan Chi has a little more confidence and spirit; before he used Xiang Liu's bloodline to cultivate "Dragon Emperor Gong", he was controlled by Zhan Xu and almost made a big mistake; now he used the blood of Xu Chang'an's demon sword body to wash the demon blood in his body, and the original dark green hair tips have also returned to black. Not only that, although there is no demon blood, the cultivation of "Dragon Emperor Gong" has become the same bottleneck as before, but because of the remaining blood of the demon sealing sword body, this "Dragon Emperor Gong" is not impossible to cultivate, but it is not as violent and bloody as before, and its power is also greatly reduced.

In the past, this "Dragon Emperor Gong" ranked second on the martial arts evaluation list, but now Xuanyuan Chi's "Dragon Emperor Gong" is at most on par with the exercises of the six major sects.

Even though his combat power has declined, he is like a new student, the once confident Great Prince, and now the elder brother of the Holy Emperor, is back!

Zhan Xu stared at Xuanyuan Chi, a smile appeared on his face, and then his eyes narrowed, and Xuanyuan Chi suddenly clenched his fists tightly.

"It seems that it really works, and I can't control you anymore. The smile on Zhan Xu's face was still bright, and he sat in a wheelchair, looking up at the eldest prince, as if it was a good thing for Xuanyuan Chi to release his control.

Xuanyuan Chi let go of his fist and forcibly stopped the idea of beating Zhan Xu violently.

Because he knew that at this time, his personal grievances were nothing compared to the Nine Dragons Fu. If he hadn't been controlled, he would definitely torture Zhan Xu first. But today's Xuanyuan Chi has experienced so much and has become calm.

"It's still a little bit, and it can barely affect me. Xuanyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhan Xu condescendingly.

"It should be completely eliminated soon, congratulations!" Zhan Xu met Xuanyuan's gaze.

Xuanyuan squatted down, his eyes full of cruelty, and his face twitched slightly. The man in front of him almost ruined his life.

At the beginning, he thought that he had met a good brother, but he didn't expect that this "good brother" gave him some sweetness, and almost let him ruin the pilgrimage. Xuanyuan Chi's breathing became heavier and heavier, but at this time, the idea of Zhan Xu making a move became weaker and weaker, he was not a peach crisp, and he couldn't love and hate vigorously. He is the elder brother of the Holy Emperor, and he is the purest bloodline of the Xuanyuan family of the Holy Dynasty, and he wants to guard the Holy Dynasty and the world.

The best way to deal with a man is not to kill him, but to let him see everything he cares about being destroyed before his eyes.

"You want to kill the officials of my Holy Dynasty and destroy my human race, I tell you, it's impossible! I want you to see with your own eyes the destruction of the demon race. Back then, our human race was able to seal the demon race, and now it can. Your Assassin organization is called 'Water and Clouds', right? Unfortunately, in the early years, I also raised a group of Assassins called 'Night Watch', if you are not convinced, let's bump into each other!"

After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he strode away.

Zhan Xu thought about it, looked at his back, and there was also murderous intent in his eyes.

......

A day ago, Youzhou.

Because of the change of guards, and Xuanyuan Chi couldn't rush to the border of Youzhou immediately for special reasons, so the Taishou of Youzhou was busy. Not only to deal with political affairs, but also to lead the army for the time being.

Although Youzhou Taishou was not promoted, his power was much greater.

To the west of Youzhou, there is a snow-capped mountain, no one knows what exists in this vast snow-capped mountain, but since ancient times, the kings of all dynasties have guarded Youzhou with heavy troops, and also established a defense Great Wall hundreds of miles long in Youzhou.

Even if a cultivator tried to probe, he didn't notice anything.

However, when they entered this snow-capped mountain, they all felt an inexplicable coercion, which made them afraid.

Although I don't know what I'm facing, the defenders here don't even see anyone all year round. But this did not delay the combat strength of the border army, who had been training in a harsh environment, waiting for an unknown enemy.

Youzhou is too diligent in political affairs

, pay more attention to border defense, since he temporarily led the border army, every few days will come to the Great Wall to look at the vast snow-capped mountains.

Today he was a little uneasy, especially when he stood on the Great Wall, the cold hairs on his back stood on end, but when he turned his head to look, nothing happened.

Youzhou Taishou is not confused when he is too old now, and above the officialdom, he has become a Taishou at this age, which can be said to have a promising future.

It was getting late, and he said a few words of encouragement to the soldiers, but they had eaten together on the Great Wall, and then they were going back to their lodgings.

Youzhou has no dense forests, it is barren with only boulders, and hundreds of miles away from the Great Wall are snow-capped mountains. I heard that the west of this Youzhou was originally a normal boundary, but later I don't know why it became Snow Valley.

Nothing happened to Youzhou Taishou, he still felt hairy on his back, turned his head several times on the way back, and saw nothing, and finally could only scratch his head and enter the tent suspiciously.

Under the night, there is only the sound of wind and boulders.

As soon as I entered the tent, there were several more corpses behind a boulder a hundred meters away.

A young man with a knife and silver hair stood in front of the corpse, and he leaned down and cut off the corpse's ear, groped around with them for a while, and found a few tokens, on which were three words: Water and Cloud.

The boy did all this, stood up, pursed his mouth, and let out a bird's cry.

Then he put away the knife, took the powder from his bosom, destroyed the body, and left.

The murderous boy looked in the direction of Chang'an, where he had become the king of assassins for the past two years. It is rumored that he has never missed a beat.

But only he knew that outside Chang'an City, as a grandmaster, he let the blind female pianist of the little grandmaster and Xu Chang'an of the Know-how Realm escape;

This is his shame, the shame that has always been buried in his heart.

His companions were all dead, so no one mentioned it again except for Regulus and the survivors.

In the eyes of the Assassins, there was not so much righteousness, only missions, and he especially hoped that one day, he would be given the task of assassinating Xu Chang'an to wash away his shame.

An assassination that was about to happen to Youzhou Taishou was wiped out by him, but he was not very happy.

......

It's noon.

Wu Qian'er fed Wu Qianhe some food and some good wine, and naturally, she relayed all the words that Xu Changan said to her to her father.

Wu Qianhe knelt on the execution ground and smiled.

Murder must pay for life, and through his death, more people can be prevented from being victimized, and it is worth it.

This is the spirit of the older generation of soldiers, without which how can we open up a better and newer era?

The big knife fell and the head fell to the ground, this is the death knell of Wu Qianhe, and it is also the death knell of the stealing in private. Among them, there are also some families and nobles.

......

Xun Fa came to the east of the city, where there was an old man, selling soy milk and fritters.

He should have closed the stall a long time ago, but today he waited until noon to close the stall.

The old man who bought soy milk was just an ordinary old man, but the person who owed him money was not an ordinary person.

If Qi Fengjia hadn't been sitting, he wouldn't have been able to leave no matter how much he bombarded, and he would not have waited until noon to sell breakfast.

"Uncle, come to a bowl of soy milk. Xun Fa didn't know the relationship between him and Qi Fengjia, but it was strange to sell early and set up a stall at noon, and he also liked soy milk, so he sat down.

"Deller, last bowl. Guest, are you from the single willow tree?" said the old man with a smile.

Xun Fa nodded and asked in surprise, "How do you know, old man?"

The old man put the soy milk on the table and said, "Blood, it's the execution ground." I have a guest who likes to pay his debts, and the smell of blood on his body is very strong, and I often smell it, so I am very sensitive to the smell of blood. Moreover, I heard that an old man with a good personality killed a lot of people, and he was beheaded today. When you think about it, it's clear. ”

Xun Fa took a sip of soy milk, and saw that the old man was a talkative person, so he told Wu Qianhe about it, and even revealed some future policies.

In this way, in the future, lending will be regulated, and land rent and the like will also be regulated. But the money, loans, and land rent are all controlled by the nobles of the family, and there is no shortage of big officials in their ancestors!"

"If these things are not handled, in the long run, they will certainly cause public anger and turmoil. If they are officials, then they are not allowed to do any business themselves. Moreover, the official position needs to have nothing to do with the family's business, and if one is found, one will be beheaded. Xun Fa's eyes narrowed, looking extremely determined.

This is also the policy set by him, Xue Zhengwu and others last night, it is necessary to reform, develop production, and make the people richer, so that they can survive the most difficult period of the Holy Dynasty.

The old man bowed to Xun Fa, this person must not be simple, so he can know so many things.

"Your Excellency's opinion, old decay admires. But there is a hidden danger in this matter. ”

When Xun Fa heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "What kind of hidden danger?"

This move can make clear the power of the old aristocracy, but it will also prompt the new aristocracy; the officials themselves cannot do business, but what about their distant relatives? ”

Hearing this, Xun Fa almost couldn't hold the bowl in his hand.

He walked on the way back to Buzheng Fang, and the old man's last words echoed in his mind.

"Dragon slayer, maybe you will eventually become an evil dragon!"

......

After Xuanyuan left, a jade talisman fell into Zhan Xu's hand.

Xu Changan didn't stop it, and Zhan Xu didn't hide it. The two seem to have reached a strange tacit understanding.

The content of the jade talisman was completely displayed, and there were only six words in it.

"Youzhou, the mission failed. ”

After Zhan Xu saw it, he lost his mind for a while, and he finally understood what Xuanyuan Chi said just now. He frowned and returned to the house, followed by Xu Changan.

Suddenly, Zhan Xu's eyes turned dark green, as did his hair.

When Xu Changan was surprised, his eyes were dark and he lost consciousness.

"Old thing, I didn't expect you to hide in the body of the Demon Sealing Sword Body. If it weren't for the momentary loss of my descendant, I wouldn't have been able to come out, but you must know that if I came out once, the vitality of the offspring would have been lost a lot. This little guy is more confident than me, and he is firmly sealed in his body. ”

"Zhan Xu"'s voice became old, and he looked at "Xu Chang'an" and smiled.

"Come on, I can't be out for long. Xu Changan said.

"I'm just curious, what are you trying to do in him?"

When Xu Changan heard this, he narrowed his eyes.

"Have you heard the story of the dragon slayer who turned into a dragon?"

..........................................................................................

A lot of foreshadowing appeared, and no one remembered. Especially in Xu Changan's body, his knack, and the old man who saved him, the dream he had.
