Showdown at the Top (Part I)
The fifth day of the fifth month of May. Dragon boat festival. Early morning.
The first rays of the morning sun shone on the blade of the sword. The sword light is as clear as autumn water.
On the sword pond, the white clothes are fluttering, as if the world is independent. Murong Bai was looking at his sword.
A swordsman's sword. Just like the life of a swordsman.
Illuminating the blade of the sword, the sword shines brightly. What about people?
In the early morning, the first rays of light poured in, Gao Yucheng had just woken up, and he had to maintain a sensitive reaction speed and abundant physical strength, and adequate sleep was essential.
He got up and walked to the window.
The early morning light shone on his face.
The contour line of the face appears sharp and resolute.
Especially his eyes. The eyes are as bright as a sword.
What about his sword? His sword was wrapped in cloth.
On the city of Jinling, the Dragon Boat Festival is in the sun.
This battle caused a sensation in Jiangnan martial arts.
In the early morning, many people had already come to Jinling City. A lot of people came.
Jiangnan martial arts, this is the era of swordsmen.
Two peerless swordsmen side by side.
All are looking forward to seeing this battle with their own eyes.
Why did they choose this place for the decisive battle?
Some people speculate that they are trying to emulate the battle of "the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City", the top of the Forbidden City on the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, the Dragon Boat Festival, aren't these two exactly the same?
Some people also guess that Gao Yu has become a sensation, and it is not easy to become famous, after all, Jiangnan Tiger Hill, Wulin Murong! Who challenged Murong Bai, the son of Lantai, who is known as the world's number one swordsman, and does not want to make a sensation in the rivers and lakes?
Some people also say that they are swordsmen and masters, and their fame and fortune are very high, and the reason why they fought is not what they think, but because of their swords!
The fate of a peerless swordsman is the sword!
They didn't know each other, they had no grudges, they had no grudges, because of the sword!
There are different opinions, and everyone is looking forward to this battle.
Why did they fight each other? Only they know that the fate of swordsmen is not just swords.
Both know it.
The whole world is not the king's land. There are rivers and lakes within the rivers and mountains.
Their battle was not only a battle of rivers and lakes, but also a battle between two forces in the court.
They are famous like famous swords, are they not like famous swords? Who is the sword wielder?
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into Jinling City, there was a person who had already gotten up.
Thirteen years old. His eyes were full of weariness.
When someone else was thirteen years old and still asleep in bed, he got up.
He had to get up.
The whole world is not the king's land.
If you want to take the crown, you must bear its weight.
He is who he is today.
The Son of Heaven, one person sits in the court, all the people worship, the Son of Heaven, the anger of one person, millions of corpses, the Son of Heaven has the wealth of the world, the right of life and death, the Son of Heaven, thousands of people dream of it.
But when he was a child, he sat in this position, and it has been five years now.
Who would have imagined that he was tired of it. He had never stepped out of this palace, and he couldn't play with friends like a normal child. Even the time to get up and eat has a standard, and the most terrible speech has a standard.
Five drums went to court, he was dressed in a water-yellow eight-treasure skirt, and his shirt was open to the nine-dragon robe. He wears a jade belt around his waist and wears black boots. Step by step to the throne.
In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials have been waiting on both sides. And at this time, he saw a person in his eyes. The one who terrifies him.
And those who make the Son of Heaven afraid?
A man with a white beard, dressed in a reckless robe and jade belt, with bright eyes. He stood majestically on his left side.
"Father, you can do something important today"
"Nothing. ”
He asked again, "Do you have something important to do?"
His Majesty was speechless. Suddenly, a man stepped forward and fell to his knees. "The Ministers Have Important Matters"
It was originally Guanglu doctor Zhou Benchang.
The emperor said, "Oh, what's the matter with Zhou Qing's family, come quickly." "Although his voice is immature, he also has a dragon voice, and his voice is more stable than that of any of his peers.
Zhou Benchang said "there is a vision in the sky"
"What Vision?"
Zhou Benchang played, "Recently, the sky will be auspicious, and the yellow light will come out of the three paths, and you will come from the east... I watched the sky at night and saw the Emperor Star shifting..."
Although the emperor was only thirteen years old, he already understood many things. Hearing Zhou Benchang say that the emperor star was displaced, he already felt bad. He had a lot to face.
The emperor said, "The sky is unfathomable"
Wang Situ stepped forward again.
"The Minister's Performance"
"He Song"
"When the minister heard this, he said: The Son of Heaven is in accordance with the mandate of heaven. ”
The emperor said, "What is the Mandate of Heaven?"
Wang Situ said, "The will of heaven is in line with the will of the people, the people are benefited, and the people are gracious..."
"Aiqing, I also have a word" The emperor interrupted sharply, "Eat the king's Lu, bear the king's worries, Situ is a minister, eat the king's Lu, but not a minister..."
"This..."
Wang Situ stood still, he didn't know that the little emperor could say this.
Immediately, Wang Situ spoke.
"The world has its own ups and downs, and the Son of Heaven should have a number of gases"
"When is the boom and bust?
"The new dynasty is only more than 60 years old, and it is prosperous in the new dynasty, but it is not angry with Your Majesty. ”
A group of civil and military officers all bowed down at this time.
The emperor didn't know what to say, and looked at King Shuntian.
King Shun was silent.
Another military general stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the peak of Jinling Dragon Vein, a stone from the east of the Emperor's Mausoleum, said to be in response to the heavens"
"What do you mean?"
"To obey the heavens is to obey the king"
"What proof?"
"Commanded by heaven, there should be a seal as proof. ”
The seal of the jade seal of the country and the insects and birds. Ordered by the day of longevity and Yongchang.
"This..."The emperor is young after all. He didn't know that it had been premeditated. The matter of forcing the yellow robe has existed in all generations.
"Father," the Emperor began.
King Shun did not answer.
"Although King Shuntian is the regent of the emperor's uncle, the destiny of heaven returns" The ministers and civil and military ministers said again!
The emperor is young after all. I don't know what to do?
"You guys!
The emperor boy reacted and got up to go back to the harem.
The guards are not blocked, but the ministers are stopped. He also said, "The edict is drafted, and I hope that Your Majesty will comply with the mandate of heaven and grant Bao Chan to the prince." ”
The emperor looked back at King Shuntian and saw that the yellow robe of the Nine Dragons had been added. King Shun spoke at this time.
"Nephew, can you see it at the moment? the destiny of heaven is returned, and the ministers are protected, so..."
Wang Situ said again, "The edict of the Zen throne has been prepared, and I hope the emperor will make a decision earlier"
"Father... You... You—" He didn't know what to say.
The main hall is silent.
"Good!"
A good word breaks the silence. A person came out of the harem. A strong suit is full of coolness. He was followed by eight monks.
"A group of civil and military ministers bullied children, which is good, very good. ”
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs saw that the princess of Dream was very beautiful, but with a luxurious and graceful appearance.
And looking at the eight monks behind her, there was a strangeness in their hearts. Eight monks, with white moon-white robes and hats on their heads, could not see their faces clearly. I only felt that their faces were white and chalky, and their faces showed a fierce light.
"Sister Huang. The emperor called out and hurriedly stepped forward.
It was the Dream Princess who came.
"A group of civil and military ministers, but why do you do such a disobedience and commit a big crime!" A group of ministers saw Princess Xunmeng snort, bowed their heads and were silent, they seemed to be waiting for King Shuntian. King Shun Tian has not yet spoken.
The Dream Princess's eyes turned to look at King Suncheon. Positive color channel.
"Uncle Huang, what do you mean by this? The first emperor ordered Er to assist the government, why did you do the thing of a traitor and usurping the throne?"
King Shuncheon sneered.
"The princess should be in the harem, but why did she run to this court to make trouble"
Princess Dream said: "Last night, I dreamed that the blood of the dragon on the pillar of the Golden Palace was not a good sign, so..."
"So here you are"
"So here I am. ”
King Shuncheon smiled.
"This dream is really interesting"
King Shuncheon smiled and said, "Good, good"
Princess Dream said, "Where is it good, I'm here, aren't you afraid that your plot will not succeed?"
King Shuntian said, "It's come to this point, think about how I can't do it! You're here, and I just want you to see how I ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven!"
Princess Dream Seeker smiled and said, "Oh, the position of the Son of Heaven seems to be the emperor's ambition?"
King Shun smiled and said, "It's the destiny of heaven"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
Princess Dream's smile was cold.
"Where are the guards of the Golden Palace!" no one answered, and her face changed. Again.
"Someone, where are the guards of the Golden Palace!"
Still no one answered.
"You don't have to shout. King Shun walked up the steps step by step and ascended to the dragon chair. He laughed. "They won't come, they won't come..."
Princess Dream sneered, "Don't be complacent!"
Eight monks behind him stepped forward. These eight people are the eight generals under the Dream Princess.
Eight monks reversed their wrists and pulled out their silver swords at the same time.
The Golden Palace was suddenly full of murderous energy.
King Shuntian glanced at a few monks, and said with a smile, "The Seven Demons and Eight Generals are full of murderous spirit, but the Seven Demons are not there, and the Eight Generals are difficult to achieve, even if they are all there, can you help me?"
The laughter fell fast.
The golden temple suddenly had a cold wind.
There seems to be a cold fog, and I don't know where the wind comes from or where the fog comes from.
There was a sound of fog.
I don't know when. The main hall was "dumb", and there was a crow crying.
Legend has it that the crow is unknown, the crow crows, and the death of the person is predicted.
Whose death can be expected?
The Golden Temple seemed to be turned into a death row in an instant.
The Golden Temple Dragon Pillar suddenly bled out.
The blood seemed to smell of red paint.
Princess Dream's gaze contracted.
King Shuntian's face sank, and his eyes contracted. King Shuncheon knew that this was the arrangement of Princess Dream.
The eight people pulled out the silver sword with their right sleeve and let out a soft sound.
The silver light suddenly shook out the seventeen swords of the eight people, and flew out like arrows!
A flash of white light.
Lightning strikes.
The sound of "ding" is endless!
A sword.
What a fast sword!
A flash of white light.
Eight silver swords are broken.
Eight people.
Man is like a broken sword.
One fell dressed in white. A quick sword.
Eight monks.
They all had blood in their chests. The moon-white robe was stained with blood. Each of them had an incredible look on their faces.
What a fast sword!
Pale hand, pale sword.
King Shun looked at Princess Xunmeng and smiled, "What's the matter?"
One sword only used two moves to restrain eight swords and one move, and stabbed eight people to death with one move!
Who the hell is it?
I saw people dressed in white like snow.
But he wore a clumsy and ugly mask on his face.
It looks like a grim reaper.
Princess Dream's face turned pale. Look at him.
"Good. ”
"Yes, why worry about it with him!" said King Shun laughing as he sat on the dragon chair. Laugh at a group of civil and military forces.
"Why don't you shout long live when the Son of Heaven ascends the throne?"
A group of civil and military personnel did not move this time.
Not even the slightest reaction. Then I saw a group of civil and military officers wiping it on their faces!
Mask!
Transparent white mask.
King Shuntian said, "The unparalleled unparalleled in the world is easy to disguise?"
"Yes, they're not ministers of civil and military affairs, but I'm looking for someone to change their face," said Dream with a smile.
"How?"
King Suncheon's gaze contracted again.
"Good.
Princess Dream smiled and said, "I have a better plan!"
"Oh?"
King Shuntian's face remained unchanged.
"Where's the sword?"
The sword is like a dragon!
The man in white strikes again!
A flash of swordlight!
The sword is like a string!
King Shun stretched out his hands and shouted.
"Up!"
I saw that the human body was shaped like a dragon, and the sleeves of the robe were like flying cranes.
The main hall is extremely high! The king of Shuntian is three zhang away, and the golden dragon dome on the dragon chair of the golden palace is hung upside down.
King Suncheon's hair is scattered. A mighty and domineering momentum also dispersed.
