Not far away, Shang Ze watched Hou Xiangjun's smoke from a distance, like a mountain and river collapsing, he lost consciousness in an instant, and only knew that he was staring blankly ahead.

"Brother Hou. Shang Zejin was unconscious, only muttering, and unconsciously raised his feet to walk towards Hou Xiangjun's corpse.

Life is with each other, and death is the same, this party is the way of Shang Zejin's best friend.

At this time, Xu Mingzhang no longer had the control of the heart crystal, but he was just a corpse that could not move, but Shang Zejin wanted to go forward with the net, but he still held Shang Zejin's wrist tightly to prevent him from leaving, and at the same time turned sideways to block the big sword controlled by Lin Zixuan with his body.

The air waves were surging, and the figure stood in the dust and ears of wheat, Xu Mingzhang was still protecting Shang Zejin in front of him and holding his wrist, the force was so fierce that it almost slashed into Shang Zejin's flesh.

This is not that Xu Mingzhang suddenly gained his senses, his actions are connected with Hou Xiangjun, so he will desperately stop Shang Zejin, which is the last bit of faith he has before Hou Xiangjun dies.

Belief is an intangible thing, people will die, originally faith should have disappeared after Hou Xiangjun's death, but Hou Xiangjun's remnants refused to dissipate.

He and Shang Zejin are confidants, he understands Shang Zejin and Shang Zejin understands him in general, he knows that Shang Zejin can't be relieved after seeing him die, and he may even have a heart for life and death, so he can't let go, he can't let go, even after death, he has to protect Shang Zejin well.

He did not allow Shang Zejin to die.

In fact, he could have lived, Yao Wang Jiang and Lin Ziqi came for Shang Zejin, as long as they said their plan and turned against Lin Ziqi together, he and Shang Zejin would have survived.

But he couldn't.

He knew his friend's plan, he knew that his friend was even willing to be spurned by the Shang people for the sake of the plan, and he was willing to lose the reputation he had accumulated for decades, and he knew how important this plan was to his friend.

As a friend, he has always been a person who pays silently.

Therefore, he is willing to die and become a stepping stone to his friend's plan at the cost of his life, and even after his death, he can still control Xu Mingzhang with his residual thoughts to take care of Shang Zejin's safety, and he can see that Hou Xiangjun's friendship with Shang Zejin is beyond the boundary of life and death.

Shang Zeyi has been paying attention to the situation, and Shang Zeyi has never spoken out since he was taken away, not because he gave up, but because he was waiting for an opportunity.

It wasn't until now that the situation had turned around that he spoke out for the first time.

"If you don't let me go, you can't leave Shangguo. ”

Hou Xiangjun was defeated, Xu Mingzhang had no owner, only Lin Ziqi and the four rulings were left who were threatened, and in addition to Yao Wang Jiang and Lin Zixuan, there were also Yang Luoyu and Nan Kemeng who had disappeared on their side, Shang Ze recalled that the situation had reversed, and the general trend gradually returned to his side, and said to Lin Ziqi at the right time.

He didn't think that a word could make Lin Ziqi compromise, but it didn't matter, with Shang Zeyi's intelligence, in such a situation, he had already thought of countless reasons to persuade Lin Ziqi to let him take the initiative to release him.

"Who said it wasn't?" Who knew that Lin Ziqi didn't refute, and without even a superfluous word, he generously let go of Shang Zeyi.

This made Shang Zeyi feel uncomfortable, as if he was obviously carrying the strength to carry the stone, and the moment he lifted the stone, he found that it was actually paper paste, and it was not as light as he could exert his strength.

Moreover, Lin Ziqi released people so easily, which did not surprise Shang Zeyi, but made him suspicious.

"It's that simple?" Shang Zeyi didn't go directly, but turned his head and asked Lin Ziqi.

Lin Ziqi always looked like an old fox, raised his head and signaled to Mai Tian and said: "Shang Zejin has been defeated, and if he doesn't let people go, there will be more than two people who will kill the palace at that time." ”

Shang Zeyi followed his gaze, and in the endless rice fields, the wheat ripening in late autumn rustled, like a sympathetic whisper, and like a soldier in armor, ready to fight.

There are two figures in the wheat field, a man and a woman, the man's feet appear in the air without touching, and the woman's body is carrying an extremely long black knife, which is Nan Kemeng and Yang Luoyu, who have never been seen.

"Are they going to kill you?" Shang Zeyi asked, looking at the two of them reflected in the sunlight.

Lin Ziqi did not answer directly, but said meaningfully: "After all, they are Dongli and Xizhao. ”

The East Fence and the West Zhao are both the four powerful countries in the world and have their own desire to compete for hegemony, and Lin Ziqi went south alone this time, he knew that several old people in the Shang Kingdom were not fuel-efficient lamps, so they could take this opportunity to kill him.

Therefore, he made preparations in advance, and with a desperate attitude, he let the army of Qi State Chen soldiers on the border of Shang State, and it was because he used Qi State and Shang State as a handle in his hands, and he moved his whole body, so that neither Shang Zerui nor Shang Zejin dared to make a move against him.

But his frenzied methods can only bluff the Shang people, and from the perspective of the other two countries, for both the East Fence and the Western Zhao, Lin Ziqi is not only not a poisonous fruit that cannot be touched, but even a fragrant bun that they kill quickly.

They don't have such concerns as Shang Guo, as long as Lin Ziqi dies in Shang Guo, the means he originally set up will be activated.

At that time, the Qi State invaded the Shang State, and the strength of the two countries was quite natural, and no one could get benefits, and the war would not be one-sided, but protracted.

The result of the war is destruction, and after the war, it is destined to be useless, and the vitality of the two countries is greatly damaged.

Nan Kemeng and Yang Luoyu want to kill Lin Ziqi, probably for this reason.

"Won't you help Bengong? If Bengong dies, Shang Guo will not be able to get any benefits. Lin Ziqi said to Shang Ze in a good time.

Shang Zeyi turned his head, ignored Lin Ziqi, walked towards Shang Zejin with the back of his head dangling, and said to Lin Ziqi halfway: "If you die, I will go to Liyang, so that the royal family of Qi will be extinct, and see if Qi can still come to kill Shang with one heart." ”

Shang Zeyi is not joking, if the bloodline of the royal family of the Qi State is really broken, and the dragons are leaderless, the Qi State can only rise up and fall into the chaos of competing for the throne, and there is no ability to work together to defeat the merchants.

But the King of Qi is not so easy to kill, Lin Ziqi can be protected by four judges, and the more noble King of Qi will not have fewer guards than him, and it is impossible to kill the King of Qi before he reaches the Ming Dynasty.

And even if Shang Zeyi really killed the King of Qi, he seemed to have forgotten that there was still a blood of the royal family of Qi by his side.

Lin Zixuan, she is also the blood of the royal family of the Qi country, if all the men of the royal family of the Qi country are dead, the queen is not unable to lead the country.

Lin Ziqi did not refute him directly, but replied mockingly: "You seem to have forgotten that Lin Zixuan is also a member of the royal family of the Qi Kingdom. ”

When they spoke, Lin Zixuan had already caught up with Yang Luoyu.

And Yao Wang Jiang held Hou Xiangjun's heart crystal in his hand, and also came to Shang Zejin.

"He gave it to you. ”
