Chapter 6: Shang Zejin, Brothers Cannibalize
After Ruian, I arrived at Ouwu.
After separating from Ma Yexue and his party, Shang Zeyi and the two walked extremely fast, arriving at Ouwu in only one day, and at their speed, they would normally be able to reach the Golden Tower tomorrow.
"Since the end of the battle at the source, I haven't been to see Lao (this word is forbidden) Hu, this time the matter of the Golden Mansion is over, I will go to Wushan with you and toast in front of their two graves. Along the way, the two of them chatted unconsciously, and for the two people who had not seen each other for many years, they naturally talked about Hu Badao.
Hu Badao is also a teacher and friend to Shang Zeyi, and half a relative to Yaowangjiang, the three of them have walked the rivers and lakes together and have done many great things, although it has been a few years, it is still vivid.
Talking about Hu Badao Yao Wang Jiang remembered the medicine perilla, the two did not share the same bed in life, and they were fortunate to be able to share the same acupoint after death, since this is the case, but his sister and brother-in-law are actually dead, Yao Wang Jiang is a little uncomfortable, pinched his sour nose and said: "My sister and brother-in-law don't like to be disturbed, I put their tomb on the top of Wushan, and the poison guards along the road, your current realm can't go up alone, and I will take you there when the matter is over." ”
Shang Zeyi nodded, and inadvertently pressed the sad place of Yao Wang Jiang, he felt a little guilty, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, how did you know that I came to Shangguo? ”
Medicine King Jiang's weakness is only felt for a while, now he is the medicine king, and he is no longer the child who wiped his tears at every turn a few years ago, he put away his weakness in the blink of an eye, and said to Shang Zeyi: "You have an undercurrent in Bailu City, and the Shang Kingdom also has its own net, as soon as you enter the Shang Kingdom, you have been targeted by the net, and fortunately, the crow with the undercurrent in Wushan notified me in time, so I could arrive as soon as possible." ”
It turned out to be a net, and Shang Zeyi suddenly realized.
Shang Zeyi, who has never known much about his own intelligence organization, was in the hands of the former prime minister Xu Mingzhang when he was still the prince, and others couldn't interfere, only knew that it was extremely mysterious, holding intelligence from all directions, but he never thought that he would be able to follow his whereabouts with such great ability.
As he knew, after Xu Mingzhang's death, the net was in the hands of his son, Xu Qingyin, the current prime minister of the Shang State.
"So, is Xu Qingyin going to kill me? Is it to avenge that I broke a leg back then? But this kid shouldn't be, he knows my relationship with the current Shang Emperor, he is deep in thought, and he will never provoke my imperial brother for one leg, and even if he wants to do such a thing, he doesn't have so many masters in his hands. Although the master of refining the gods and returning to the void is nothing in our eyes, it is not so easy for Xu Qingyin to be entrapped, and he can't do it if he takes it out without money like a few days ago. Shang Zeyi thought that Xu Qingyin wanted to avenge the broken leg back then, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he raised his doubts by the way.
He was skeptical about whether Xu Qingyin wanted to kill him. One is motivation, the other is strength, Xu Cripple does not occupy either, but a net in hand does not explain anything. Xu Mingzhang and the old Shang Emperor died in Bailu City, Xu Qingyin just took over the net not long ago, the strength has not been tightened, the foundation of the net is not stable, and it is inevitable that someone will infiltrate it in the middle, and it is impossible to say that Xu Cripple may have been someone else's scapegoat in this matter.
Yaowangjiang doesn't know much about the inside story in the middle, although Yaowangfu is one of the four mansions in the rivers and lakes, but what he is good at is using medicine to save people and killing people with poison, the four mansions are the same in terms of intelligence, compared to the undercurrent net, these are not at the same level at all, if it weren't for the right minister Wang Zhaomo personally sent someone over to give guidance, he wouldn't know so much, and he may not have a deep understanding of Shang Ze.
"These are not Xu Qingyin's people, they are blood riders. Yao Wang Jiang didn't have the bad habit of hanging people's appetites, and directly told Shang Zeyi all the information sent by Wang Zhaomo.
The blood cavalry is the elite army of the former Shang Emperor, who once chased and killed 100,000 Dongli troops with 30,000, and shocked the four countries with absolute strength, among which there are many masters and loyal to the former Shang Emperor, for Shang Zeyi, who killed the former Shang Emperor, he did have the motive and strength to assassinate, but....
"Although the Blood Rider has this motive and this strength, the Blood Rider should have died in the Battle of the Source, even if there are some remnants left, it will not be able to become a climate, let alone have the ability to penetrate into the net. After all, although Xu Cripple broke a leg, he was not a vegetarian, and in his opinion, he was better than a dog with a few blood rides that slipped through the net, and he didn't have the strength to do tricks in his one-third of an acre. "I know both the blood rider and Xu Qingyin and Shang Zeyi very well, so there are other doubts on the spot.
When Emperor Shang took advantage of the new mourning of the White Sea, he led the blood horse out of the nest to take Bailu City, Hu Badao escaped into Tongming with the eighth knife among thousands of troops and horses, and cut off the blood horse with one sword. This legendary army full of masters was wiped out by Hu Badao's army, even if there were a few missed at that time, they were still some precarious water dogs, and it was impossible for them to have the ability to infiltrate Xu Qingyin's net, and the group of people who assassinated him obviously had a big force behind them.
As for what happened in White Deer City at that time, Medicine King Jiang knew no less than Shang Zeyi, and before he got Wang Zhaomo's information, he also thought that the Blood Rider was really dead, but who would have thought that it was not like that.
The reason in the middle is not complicated, but Yao Wang Jiang still figured out his thoughts before saying to Shang Zeyi: "You are right, if Wang Zhaomo did not find out the matter clearly, it is estimated that everyone in the world will think that the blood rider is really dead." ”
It turned out that Wang Zhaomo found out, it must be a big deal, Shang Zeyi hurriedly pricked up his ears and waited for the following.
"The blood rider of the year is indeed dead, but no one can imagine that the previous Shang Emperor has already planned to establish the second generation of the blood rider. These second-generation blood riders are all masters from various sects in the Shang Kingdom, such as Yun Daopeng of the Kushan Temple, or the Guixu master who died in the inn before, he is a closed disciple of the Golden Mansion Sword Saint Xia Donglai, so in the rivers and lakes of the Shang Kingdom, there are often masters who have disappeared inexplicably for more than ten years, and they are all in the second generation of blood horses. The strength of these second-generation blood horses is good, although they are not as terrifying as the first-generation blood horses, but there is no trace of victory, and it is estimated that they are the strange soldiers that the previous Shang Emperor was preparing to use somewhere. ”
Shang Zeyi understood, and he asked again: "You mean, it's the second-generation blood rider who wants to kill me?"
Medicine King Jiang shook his head and said seriously, "I mean, it's the person who wants to kill you with the second-generation blood rider. ”
Seeing Yao Wang Jiang's serious appearance, there was still a trace of pity in his eyes, Shang Zeyi had a bad premonition, since Yao Wang Jiang emphasized that it was someone, then this person must be someone extremely important to him, he hesitated for a moment, forced a reluctant smile and asked, "It won't be Shang Zerui, right?
If Shang Zerui wanted to kill him, he would probably be at a loss, after all, the family relationship between the two has been tested by the source, Shang Zerui is a person who is as important to him as Hu Badao, and he has never thought of facing them with a sword.
Yao Wang Jiang shook his head again and vetoed Shang Zeyi's conjecture.
It's not Shang Zerui, Shang Zeyi exhaled relaxedly, and returned to his usual spirit, as long as it's not Shang Zerui, everyone else is not a problem, the soldiers will block, at most they will kill each other, nothing difficult to do.
"It's Shang Zejin. Before Shang Zeyi could be relieved, Yao Wang Jiang threw out another unexpected name in a low voice.
The third prince of the Shang Kingdom, Shang Zejin.
The former Shang Emperor Long gave birth to four sons, except for Shang Zeyi, who was called a waste when he was young, the other three sons were all dragons among people. The eldest Shang Zerui was already known as the perfect prince when he was the prince, and was known as the most perfect heir in the four kingdoms, the second Shang Zehong was brave and good at fighting, and he took the initiative to ask Yingzhen to guard the eastern border when he was a teenager.
Shang Zeyi was stunned when he heard that Shang Zejin was going to kill him, after all, this answer was much beyond his expectations.
Shang Zejin is a great talent, the kind recognized by the four countries. It's easy to associate him with the wind and snow, or to mention the bookbasket that comes to mind, but you can't associate him with something as bookish as murder.
After all, Shang Zejin has no power to restrain the chicken, let alone kill people, and he has never even held a kitchen knife in his hands.
"Are you saying that my Third Emperor Brother is going to kill me?" Shang Zeyi thought he had misheard, and asked again with certainty.
If it was said that Shang Zehong wanted to kill him, he could still understand it, after all, he was a person who practiced martial arts, and he had admired the former Shang Emperor since he was a child, so he would hate him because of the rote memory of the previous Shang Emperor, but Shang Zejin ...... He's just a scholar.
Yao Wang Jiang glanced at him, shook his head, and then nodded, and said, "You don't have to doubt that you heard it wrong, it is indeed Shang Zejin who wants to kill you." Everyone didn't expect that the previous Shang Emperor handed over the second generation of blood horses to him when he was alive, and he was nominally just a prince with little real power, but in fact he was a blood horse envoy with a big killing weapon. And after the death of the previous Shang Emperor, this invisible and innumerable army of masters only completely obeyed his orders, you think that the powerless imperial brother, if he wants to kill people, it is estimated that few people in the whole world can fight. ”
Shang Zeyi knew that this was not Yao Wang Jiang's empty words, his intelligence came from Wang Zhaomo, and it must be a well-founded fact. He accepted the facts, patted his head and said sadly: "I can't imagine that the cannibalism between father and son has just ended, and now the brothers are going to kill each other again, this world really doesn't stop." ”
Yao Wang Jiang stopped when he heard this, he rolled his eyes, and said unceremoniously: "If you have time to sigh, it is better to find some ways to stabilize your realm, at least the next time I meet these people, I can let go of my hands and feet, and I don't have to take care of you." ”
Shang Zeyi was not ashamed of Yao Wang Jiang's complaints, he pinched his chin, pointed to the person in front of him and said: "Do you see the shaking fan in the middle, it seems to be the leader, wait for the one to catch it alive." ”
On the road ahead, more than a dozen tall and thin people were blocking the road, their breath was restrained, and they were obviously all masters of refining gods, and there was a fan in the middle, and they had the realm of returning to the middle stage, which was stronger than the disciple of Xia Donglai who had just died yesterday.
The man holding the fan was dressed as a scholar in white clothes, his clothes were fluttering in the wind, and he was not afraid of the cold of winter, and the paper fan kept shaking. Knowing the identity of Shang Zeyi and Yao Wang Jiang, he was not afraid, but took a step forward and bowed down to practice etiquette, and then spoke: "My master has asked me to wait for the fourth prince here for a long time. ”
"Do you want to fight?" Shang Zeyi clenched his fists, and stood in front without smiling. These people can cause a sensation if they want to put them on the rivers and lakes, but they are nothing in his eyes, after all, Shang Zeyi is also a top master who has reached the Tongming realm, refining the gods and returning to the void is not enough to see, and those who can enter his eyes must at least have to be in the Dao Tibetan realm.
Seeing Shang Zeyi coming up, he was ready to fight, but it was unexpected by the man in white, it was rumored that Shang Zeyi's realm had already fallen out of Daozang, how could he still be so fearless in everything. He hurriedly waved his hand, and explained as he waved his hand: "Where are we people who are the opponents of the Four Princes and the Medicine King, here we are just passing a word for the master." ”
"Say!" Shang Zeyi clenched his fist, crackling, as if he was about to start fighting.
Passing the word, does it take more than a dozen people to pass the word? Shang Zeyi sneered.
The white-clothed man's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and on the opposite side were two legendary characters, the new medicine king who entered the Dao at the age of fourteen and the new city lord of Bailu City who entered Tongming and gave up, these two people were going to start a rush, and there was no doubt that they would all die here.
He saluted more humbly, almost bent his waist to the soles of his feet, and did not dare to cause any misunderstanding, because the words he conveyed next were not as humble as his posture, so he could only make up with his form, and said respectfully: "The master said that if the fourth prince returns the same way now, he and you are still brothers, and if you enter the Golden Tower, he can only kill you, either you die or he dies." ”
After speaking, the man in white hurriedly got out of the way, and also handed over the choice to Shang Zeyi.
This road leads to the Golden Tower, and it also determines whether the brotherhood between Shang Zeyi and Shang Zejin is continuous or broken.
"Annoying. Shang Ze didn't want to think about it, and resolutely stepped out of the footsteps of the Golden Building, although the world is heavy on brotherhood, but he was entrusted to the city by someone on his deathbed, a promise of a thousand gold, and there is a city that people need him to guard, and the two sides choose each other, and there is no need to think about it at all.
"Tell Shang Zejin, I'm waiting for any means, and I'm going to settle on the Golden Building. ”
After dropping a sentence, Shang Zeyi took the medicine king Jiang Yang and left, leaving only the white-clothed people and their party standing in place, looking into the distance in the opposite direction, as if waiting for something.
After a while, a white figure slowly walked in the distance, he held a scroll in his hand, his appearance was six points similar to Shang Zeyi, but there was more elegance and gentleness between his eyebrows, and he was followed by an extremely ugly young man, with a groveling face, full of cunning and hideous.
It was Shang Zejin and Li Rangxian who came.
Shang Zejin walked in, saw the road made by the man in white, sighed, and asked Shang Zeyi, who couldn't hear his sigh from afar: "I gave you a chance, why don't you cherish it?"
Destined to go unanswered.
Shang Zeyi had already gone far, even if he didn't go far, what he gave was not the answer Shang Zejin wanted, he couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he gently waved the scroll in his hand in the air, as if cutting something, cutting his sleeves and robe.
"Then the Golden Building moves, let's kill each other. Shang Zejin said lightly to the man in white, it was like killing an irrelevant person.
The man in white received the order, and then disappeared with the crowd.
When has Li Rangxian seen so many masters, he is like a frightened little wolf, his face is full of horror, and there are countless secret ambitions under his dark eyes.
"Who the hell are you? Following Shang Zejin all the way, Li Rangxian didn't have the courage to say a word, and at this moment, he didn't know what gave him the courage to ask.
"I, I'm Shang Zejin, the third prince of the Shang Kingdom. Shang Zejin said lightly.
It was a big man that his father Li Zhengnan couldn't touch, Li Rangxian knew that he had grabbed a straw for his life, he didn't want to kneel on the ground, he didn't know if he was scared or what, he was prostrate like a dog, and said to Shang Zejin without self-esteem: "I am one of your dogs, please accept me." ”
Shang Zejin looked at Li Rangxian on the ground with disdain, for a literati like Shang Zejin, the first thing is the bones, Li Rangxian has no style, and there are no bones that do not kneel, how can there be such a vulgar and rude and undignified person in the world, if he didn't have some use, he would have been killed and buried in the ground.
Shang Zejin didn't say whether to accept Li Rangxian or not, his waist was always as straight as his pen, and he stepped forward and said, "Let's go." ”
"Back to the Golden Building. ”
