Chapter 310: Heaven is unpredictable
Hearing Haoxing Xiaoqi's utterly shameless words, Xue Youyou, who had not been silent for a long time, suddenly sneered and said: "Haoxing Mingrui said that he would not kill you, but I, Xue Youyou, have never said such a thing! It is the principle of heaven to overturn the case for King Yong, but this matter does not necessarily have to be done by you Haoxing Xiaoqi!"
With that, she stepped forward.
Although everyone did not carry any blades at Zhu Mo's request before entering the hall, she did not use a sword every time she killed people.
Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but nervously shrink into the dragon chair, and said a little overwhelmed: "Youyou——, Xue Youyou! This is the grudge between me and Haoxing Xiaoyin, and it is with you...... What's the matter?"
Xue Youyou was already standing side by side with Xiao Tianjue at this time.
Hearing Haoxing Xiaoqi's question, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Tianjue, but saw that he was also looking at herself with blazing eyes.
She was slightly stunned. And many past events, in this moment, came to mind-
Back then, she only thought about her eldest brother Xiaoyin, but she turned a blind eye to everything that the people around her had done for her, and even trampled on it wantonly.
The past is hard to trace, but the mistakes made in my youth because of my frivolity and ignorance will not be repeated today.
She turned her gaze to Haoxing Xiaoqi again, and said calmly: "Haoxing Xiaoyu used to be my best friend of Xue Youyou, but I owe him a lot due to misunderstanding. Back then, it was when he defeated the Beirong army and the class was victorious that I stabbed him and seriously wounded him.
I am from Jianghu, and now he is also from Jianghu. The way to settle grievances between people in the rivers and lakes is naturally to repay blood debts. I know that giving him just one of my lives is not enough to compensate for the humiliation and injustice he has endured over the years.
Because it was not only me Xue Youyou who brought him this experience, but also you, the so-called eldest brother. Therefore today I will kill you for him. I will bear the sin of killing the king alone!"
With that, she walked towards Haoxing Xiaoqi step by step, and her slow steps showed the incomparable firmness in her heart.
Haoxing Xiaoqi naturally knows very well what a willful and reckless woman Xue Youyou is!
Since she was able to assassinate Haoxing Xiaoyu, the commander of the Northern Army, under the heavy guard, she was also able to forcibly break into the famous Jishi Temple and kill the three monks who protected the temple.
So today, in this imperial mausoleum palace, in full view of everyone, she will definitely be able to make a move to kill the king!
Haoxing Xiaoqi glanced around in a panic, but saw that everyone had an indifferent look on their faces.
Even the Master of Huinian, who was supposed to be compassionate and come forward to stop the atrocities, was actually just clasping his palms together at this moment, closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures, presumably reciting some excessive words.
Suddenly realizing that death was imminent, Haoxing Xiaoqi really felt an unprecedented extreme fear.
He once again shrank back in vain, as if expecting the dragon chair to suddenly appear and save the life of his follower, who had been fanatically obsessed with it all his life.
However, unfortunately, no matter how Haoxing Xiaoqi prayed loudly in his heart, the large, comfortable, and beautifully carved dragon chair still stood there quietly.
Compared to His Majesty the Emperor, who was shaking on it at the moment, this dragon chair seemed cold and indifferent, without a trace of life at all.
In the silence, the distance between Xue Youyou and Haoxing Xiaoqi was gradually shortening. When there were only a few steps left, a man suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Xue Youyou.
As soon as he saw the tall and burly back that he was very familiar with, a spark of hope suddenly appeared in Haoxing Xiaoqi's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zhu Qing, save ...... Rescue ......"
Xue Youyou raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Mo in front of her, and said indifferently: "Draw your sword." ”
Zhu Mo shook his head calmly, "As the commander of the guards, I have the responsibility of protecting His Majesty the Emperor. But such a person who killed the true prince of Dayu and usurped the throne by despicable means, I really don't admire letting Zhu Mo draw his sword for him!"
Xue Youyou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again, and a smile crossed her lips.
And Haoxing Xiaoqi completely fell into the abyss of despair after hearing with his own ears what his guard commander said, which was full of contempt and disdain for His Majesty the Emperor.
With Zhu Mo's martial arts, drawing the sword, he may be able to draw with the bare-handed Xue Youyou, if he doesn't draw the sword, he should definitely lose.
And once Zhu Mo is defeated, it means that the death of His Majesty the Emperor will also come!
"I ...... I...... I promised...... ...... to King Yong's case"
Hearing Haoxing Xiaoqi's words with fear and some unwillingness, Xue Youyou smiled coldly and said categorically: "I have already said that there is no need for you, the faint king, to overturn the case for King Yong!"
"Then ——, I ...... I promised to quit...... Abdicate!"
This time, Haoxing Xiaoqi's eyes were on Xiao Tianjue.
With his shrewdness, he had naturally seen that among the four people in front of him, Master Hui Nian was just here to act as a witness, and among the remaining three, Xiao Tian should be the first to look forward.
After listening to his words, Xiao Tianjue's expression did not move, and he only asked lightly, "Are you planning to let the underage prince ascend the throne?"
"I-"
Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't plan to do this. The first emperor has long had a legacy, and the third generation of emperors of Dayu should be selected by the protector of the country. ”
Everyone present is not an idle person, how can they not guess the mystery in his words?
It sounds fair to let the Protector Pillar choose the prince.
But for now, it's an extremely difficult thing to do.
The sky is unpredictable, and no one can determine who is the real choice of the prince.
If this person can't be found, once Haoxing Xiaoqi announces his abdication, then the crown prince Haoxing Mingyong will naturally inherit the throne directly.
And this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not yet an adult, and his blood cannot be tested on the Divine Pillar, so it is impossible to determine whether he is the real third-generation emperor.
At this time, Haoxing Xiaoqi threw out this problem, which was to see this opportunity.
Who knew that just when a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes, Haoxing Mingrui smiled on the side: "Your Majesty's words are indeed very reasonable. Why don't we go to the Protector Pillar now and find the third generation emperor of Dayu?"
Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Now?"
"Surely now. Haoxing Mingrui nodded.
"You-"
Haoxing Xiaoqi looked at him in shock, "Don't you think that you are the third generation emperor of Dayu?"
Haoxing Mingrui just smiled and didn't say anything.
Xiao Tianjue said impatiently on the side: "Haoxing Xiaoqi, since you said that you want to let the Protector Divine Pillar choose people, then don't be long-winded! I'll go to Jishi Temple now." If the Divine Pillar chooses the next Dayu monarch, you can honestly abdicate!"
At this moment, Haoxing Xiaoqi's heart did have some hesitation.
Haoxing Mingrui is the son of the real second-generation Dayu Emperor Haoxing Xiaoyin, so it is very likely that he is the third-generation emperor of Dayu.
In this way, won't the rich country fall into the hands of the hermits again?
Then the world that he tried his best to keep for the Haoxing clan still has to be lost from his own hands in the end?
But the words of his promise to abdicate have been spoken, and Xue Youyou is still there eyeing him, and he will kill himself at any time.
It would be unwise to regret it at this moment.
In that case, it's better to take a step at a time and take a look at it one step at a time. After all, the sky is unpredictable, and the final result is unknown!
As soon as he thought of this, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile and said, "I will not regret what I promised. It's just that if you can't find a candidate for the prince today, what else will you have to say at that time?"
Haoxing Mingrui replied calmly: "If the Protector Pillar can't elect the third generation of the emperor of Dayu, then after His Majesty abdicates, he will naturally pass the throne to the crown prince, and we will not interfere again." ”
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds!"
