Volume 1 Looking at the South of the Yangtze River, Looking Out of Two Looks Chapter 3 The Sword Returns
Whether the agreement is complied with or not depends not only on character, but also on strength and interests!
At this time, Bai Zijiu not only has strength, but also has no interest in exchanging his life.
If he only relied on the verbal agreement that his eldest sister Shouyu County Lord exchanged for her life two years ago, it would really be too naïve!
Speaking of the last time the two met, it was two years ago.
At that time, Zhu Rongsheng, who welcomed the new emperor, was a little hesitant, worried that Bai Ziyu, the talented and brilliant Shouyu County Lord, would help the young Bai Zijiu sit on the throne, then there would be nothing to do with Zhu Rongsheng, so he moved to kill!
It's just that if he really kills the new emperor Bai Zijiu, he will definitely be recognized by all the people as the chaotic minister and thief, and Zhu Rongsheng, who has a great reputation in his life, is a little irritable.
And just when Zhu Rongsheng was irritable, the lord of Shouyu County took Emperor Bai Zijiu, and only two of them came to his celebration banquet. went straight to the point and said the words 'the son and mother are dead, and the eldest sister is like a mother'.
You must know that the subjects of the Great Wei who had just experienced the troubles of the Empress Dowager Ling were extremely jealous of the emperor's mother.
If the eldest sister of the new emperor Bai Zijiu is compared to his biological mother, and then he is killed on this ground, then Zhu Rongsheng will not only not be recognized as a chaotic minister and thief, but also get the name of a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country!
Not only got rid of the young emperor's wings, but also gave himself a good reputation!
It's definitely a sure-fire deal!
After that, Zhu Rongsheng only needed to return to the fiefdom to play a loyal minister for a period of time, and keep the life of the young emperor Bai Zijiu, so that he could be responsible for losing his reputation and doing all the things that were immoral.
At that time, Zhu Rongsheng can find a way to enter the palace, and be 'forced' to take over the Son of Heaven and sit on the coveted position of the Son of Heaven!
This kind of plan is in Zhu Rongsheng's arms, and even if Bai Zijiu temporarily changes his mind and works hard in the palace, then he can immediately wave his army south to snatch the throne.
As for whether to continue to save Bai Zijiu's life after the matter is completed, only he, Zhu Rongsheng, has the final say......
In short, it is good and harmless!
At this time, the two of them had already entered the main hall one after the other, and Zhu Rongsheng took the lead in stopping, looked back at Bai Zijiu condescendingly and said, "When did you inform the hundred officials to enter the palace?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't you want to see how this edict is written first?" Bai Zijiu didn't wait for Zhu Rongsheng to respond after speaking, and walked towards the Son of Heaven with a smile.
I saw Bai Zijiu standing on the throne of the Son of Heaven, took out an edict from the table full of dragon patterns, spread his hands and put them in front of him, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Rongsheng, and slowly recited: "When the sky is good, by the order of Zi Ming, Emperor Bai Zijiu of Wei Xiaozhuang 'has no merit and no virtue, and has a negative impact on the people', and Zhu Rongsheng of the Tianzhu Kingdom has worked hard and has made great achievements, and he should be ......."
Thinking of this, Bai Zijiu suddenly changed his words, raised his eyes to look directly at Zhu Rongsheng, and said in a cold tone: "There is no forgiveness for killing!"
As soon as the words fell, the hall changed instantly!
In the side halls on both sides, the seventeen dead men who had been arranged in advance pushed the door out and rushed to Zhu Rongsheng!
The first of the dead soldiers, holding a long sword in his hand, was even closer to Zhu Rongsheng within three feet, and he saw that the assassination could be completed.
At this time, Yuan Qiongjing, who was behind Zhu Rongsheng, made a move, only to see him stretch out his right hand, and then put his fingers together, and the long sword that flickered with cold light was not close.
"Just you?" Yuan Qiongjing's tone was disdainful, and then he spun the blade of the sword between his fingers, the sword body was broken, and the sleeve of the right arm of the first dead soldier was shattered, and he spun and flew out upside down without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Zhu Rongsheng had already come back to his senses at this time, although an assassination was unexpected, but he was a general who had experienced a hundred battles, how could he sit still and wait to be killed! In the face of the crowd that came to kill, he drew his sword and rushed straight to the position of the Son of Heaven, wanting to kill Bai Zijiu on the top of the main hall!
"Bai family child!
Zhu Rongsheng shouted and stepped out in one step! His sideburns were already gray, and his skills were not ambiguous at all, and in just one step, he jumped in front of the case, and slashed at Bai Zijiu with a side slashing knife.
"Dang!"
Just as Zhu Rongsheng's blade was about to touch Bai Zijiu, a faded red umbrella was inserted horizontally, and the falling blade was forcibly stopped. A man in Tsing Yi came out of nowhere, only to see him hold the handle of the umbrella, and with a flick of it, a single-edged sword full of rust came out of the umbrella and slashed at Zhu Rongsheng's neck!
Yuan Qiongjing, who was under the steps of the Son of Heaven, rushed up the moment the red umbrella appeared, and when the single-edged sword slashed Zhu Rongsheng, he pulled Zhu Rongsheng and flew back to the bottom of the steps.
On the chessboard, the soldiers go first, crossing the river and not knowing the way back. At this time, on the top of the main hall, the dead soldiers who had gone straight to Zhu Rongsheng before were like soldiers, and they had been blocked by those cronies and entourage, fighting each other, and moving forward.
And under the steps and the Son of Heaven on the throne two by two, like the opposite of the car, there is no pair of words, but you live and die!
Zhu Rongsheng, who had just walked before the ghost gate, touched the blood oozing from his neck, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the man in white and said, "Remember you, you are Wang Yibo, the husband of the lord of Shouyu, aren't you martyred?"
"Wang Yibo is dead, and now my name is Wang Chuqi!" said the man in white who called himself Wang Chuqi's eyes were slightly gloomy and his face was cold.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the talented man of the Southern Dynasty who was famous in Luozhou City back then was actually a swordsman master!
Bai Zijiu smiled slightly: "Otherwise?"
"Heh, presumably at this time, the eyeliner in the lonely palace has notified more than a thousand iron horsemen outside the palace, and your assassination will definitely fail!" Zhu Rongsheng snorted coldly, his words full of disdain.
But Bai Zijiu, who heard this, did not panic at all.
He took off the crown of the Son of Heaven, took off the robe of the Son of Heaven, threw it on the ground casually, and said slowly: "Qin Huan and Yuwentai's men and horses have entered Luozhou City yesterday, and they must be fighting fiercely with your 1,000 men and horses outside the palace at this time." ”
"You!" Zhu Rongsheng's eyes widened, and an angry look appeared on his face, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "What a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind! But don't forget, you are the cicada! Those two vertical men are not loyal people!"
Bai Zijiu smiled and said: "What's the matter, as long as it can make you die, it's enough! Besides, who can say whether the yellow finches outside the city are killing cicadas or protecting cicadas?"
Zhu Rongsheng said in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about it, if Lone is dead, and the millions of soldiers and horses in Pingyang will go south to Luozhou, you will not be able to sit still as the Son of Heaven!"
Hearing this, Bai Zijiu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and actually laughed to himself, and then shook his head and said: "Zhu Rongsheng! You should be like you?
As soon as the words fell, Wang Chuqi, who was dressed in white beside Bai Zijiu, had already moved, and he came up with a single-edged sword in his hand, and what he did was the ability to shrink the ground into inches, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed a sword in front of Zhu Rongsheng.
It's just that Yuan Qiongjing, who is behind Zhu Rongsheng, is also a kendo master who is not inferior to Wang Chuqi, and at the moment when Wang Chuqi's figure disappeared, he blocked in front of Zhu Rongsheng and drew his sword to block Wang Chuqi's attack.
At this time, the situation above the main hall seemed to be a bit deadlocked, Wang Chuqi and Yuan Qiongjing, two first-class kendo masters, it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.
I saw Wang Chuqi wearing green clothes, holding a single-edged sword at will, and a cyan sword qi flew out from the single-edged edge, gathering but not dispersing, condensing into a freehand blue bird, attacking Yuan Qiongjing.
And Yuan Qiongjing was originally a forward general who had killed countless people on the battlefield, and his swordsmanship and sword momentum were all very strong! The horizontal sword stabbed straight and straight, blocking Wang Chuqi's offensive.
Then the two of them tossed and turned on the main hall, and their figures were difficult to distinguish.
If there are other first-class masters, they will see the clues.
Wang Chuqi is like a spiritual snake, constantly changing directions, and the fierce Yuan Qiongjing is instantaneous! I don't know if I am afraid, or if I have other thoughts......
"Zen well, why bother?" Zhu Rongsheng looked at the battle situation of the two first-class masters, and said leisurely. Then, he retracted his gaze and squinted at Bai Zijiu.
At this time, Bai Zijiu was still looking at the fight between Wang Chuqi and Yuan Qiongjing blankly, and his right hand was slightly raised at his side, as if he had forgotten to put it down, which made people feel funny.
And this kind of gaffe in the face of life and death, Zhu Rongsheng has seen too much. He sneered, then struck the ground with his heavy sword, and walked towards the position of the Son of Heaven step by step.
One step, two steps, three steps, Zhu Rongsheng walked through the steps and placed it in front of the case again, opposite Bai Zijiu.
The wrath of the horseman splashed blood in five steps, and the son of heaven was killed in front of the palace, which was at this time.
Zhu Rongsheng didn't say much, and his long-term experience told him that those who talk too much will die.
At this time, the sound of the knife hitting the ground suddenly stopped, and Zhu Rongsheng raised his right hand......
However, at the moment when the blade was about to be chopped, Wang Chuqi appeared three zhang away behind Zhu Rongsheng, connecting with Bai Zijiu and Zhu Rongsheng on the throne of the Son of Heaven.
And at this moment of connecting the lines, the red umbrella that was originally made as a sheath was suddenly thrown out by Wang Chuqi and flew towards Zhu Rongsheng's heart.
Zhu Rongsheng failed to succeed in the previous attack, and this time he has been wary of Wang Chuqi.
With the attack of the red umbrella, he had already put away his knife momentum, turned around to resist Wang Chuqi's surprise attack, and the flying red umbrella was slashed to the ground by Zhu Rongsheng!
For Wang Chuqi's sudden desperate bet, Yuan Qiongjing was anxious, and he had already followed closely, a sword pierced Wang Chuqi's right chest, and then pulled it out fiercely, Wang Chuqi With the momentum of drawing the sword, blood gushed out from his chest and fell to the ground.
If it weren't for Wang Chuqi throwing out the umbrella just now, he hurriedly turned around to dodge, and he would be wearing the atrium on the left side at this time!
The situation on the field has changed abruptly, Bai Zijiu's car has fallen, the soldiers are useless, and the generals are far apart, and the overall situation has been decided!
It's just that whether it is Bai Zijiu, who is already powerless, or Wang Chuqi, who is injured, or even the soldiers who are still fighting, they have not panicked!
There is a backhand in this game......
I saw that the corners of Wang Chuqi's mouth were slightly upturned, and he snorted, as if resigned to his fate, he let go of the single-edged sword in his hand.
And Bai Zijiu, who had been silent before, also opened his lips lightly at this time and said two words.
Although the voice of these two words is extremely soft and the tone is cold, it is extremely clear.
Not to mention that the entire hall was like thunder, but it was also the sound of shouting and killing across the layers into everyone's ears.
Those two words he said!
It's "Sword Return!"
And once these two words are spoken, they are like proverbs.
The single-edged sword that was still flashing with Wang Chuqi's cyan sword qi, and the moment it didn't hit the ground, it turned into a ray of red light with lightning speed, and quickly swirled across Zhu Rongsheng's neck and returned to Bai Zijiu's right hand.
Hold your hands tightly, sword in your hand! The wrath of the Son of Heaven can also splash blood in five steps!
"The name of the sword, born with a spirit, only recognizes one master!" Bai Zijiu slowly raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Rongsheng, who turned around with difficulty, and his neck was blood-red, and continued expressionlessly: "Its master Bai Zijiu!"
Zhu Rongsheng opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to respond.
But he couldn't make any sound, only unwillingness and hatred kept pouring out of his eyes!
After only a few breaths, he fell straight to the ground on his back, and his life was gone......
And Bai Zijiu, who took off the robe of the Son of Heaven, was dressed in black, standing proudly on the throne of the Son of Heaven.
The rust on the single-edged sword in his hand had disappeared at this time, and only a faint cold light remained on the blade!
