Chapter 46: Observation
After Zhao Tianyan and Zhao Tianxiong glanced at each other, Zhao Tianxiong said: "Ten years ago, everyone knew that after Wen Xiucai advanced to the Grandmaster, he would inevitably enter the Imperial City and kill His Majesty the Emperor. And His Majesty the Emperor himself is still a master of the ninth order, and there are divine soldiers around him to protect him, and we all know the result. ”
The eldest prince's face was gloomy, this was indeed a great shame for the royal family, but thinking about it, Wen Xiu was able to approach his father without a trace in the heavily guarded palace and perform assassination, and as soon as he attacked, his father was seriously injured, and the prince who was guarding the side was the old eunuch who was in charge of the divine soldiers, and after Wen Xiucai attacked, he insisted on the divine soldiers and injured Wen Xiucai, and finally let Wen Xiucai escape.
Although he was not at the scene, he learned the details afterwards, Wen Xiucai even disguised himself as a concubine, so that he was able to get close to his father, what a disguise ability against the sky.
He himself is only a first-class master, and he can't compare to his father's strength of the ninth order, and although Zhao Xingsheng is a grandmaster, Wang Gonggong is also a grandmaster, and he holds a divine weapon, but he is far stronger than Zhao Xingsheng.
His father was seriously injured back then, and the strength left by Wen Xiucai has been damaging his body, and his physical condition has been getting worse and worse recently, and the imperial doctor even hinted that His Majesty the Emperor has no years to live, so the eldest prince and the third prince began to compete for the throne.
He also secretly complained about why his father didn't make him the crown prince, but His Majesty the Emperor enlightened the strength of the ninth order, if it wasn't an accident, he would have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, so he was naturally unwilling to make the prince early.
It turned out that when His Majesty the Emperor was healthy and had a long lifespan, he could only swallow it even if he complained, but now that his father is dying and still has not established the crown prince, he naturally has to work hard for his future.
Douluo Hand Lin Lang is a ninth-order master who has just grown up, but he doesn't know the secrets of the upper echelons, and when he sees that the big prince has no objections, he knows that Wen Xiucai's power is beyond his imagination.
At this time, although Wen Xiucai disrupted the steps, the eldest prince still remembered his original intention of coming to Liangzhou, so he asked: "I came to Liangzhou and wanted to form an alliance with the Zhao family and conspire with each other, I don't know if the Zhao family has any intentions?"
Zhao Tianyan and Zhao Tianxiong glanced at each other, they understood that the eldest prince was asking them to bet, but because of Xing Sheng's accidental injury, their behavior could no longer be as before, and they had to be cautious, so Zhao Tianyan said cautiously: "This matter is very important, I will discuss it with Lord Xing Sheng and the family elders, and then give His Highness an answer." ”
The eldest prince smiled and said, "I will hide in this inn and wait for your news." I heard that the patriarch has a daughter, Bing Xue is smart and talented, if the Zhao family agrees to form an alliance, I am willing to promise the position of the future queen to show my sincerity. And isn't Xue Zhong the deputy commander of the Yulin Army? After the matter is completed, I can let Xue Zhong take the position of commander. ”
Zhao Xuezhong is Zhao Tianyan's eldest son, Zhao Xueqing's eldest brother, and now serves as the deputy commander of the Yulin Army in the imperial court.
Zhao Tianyan and Zhao Tianxiong got up and arched their hands and said, "The eldest prince will let us for a few days." ”
After the two and Zhao Zhentian quietly walked out of the inn, when they were sitting in the carriage, Zhao Tianyan showed a trace of anger and said: "Does his royal family think that my Zhao Tianyan's daughter is exchanged." ”
Zhao Tianxiong frowned and said, "Big brother is angry." Of course, the family would not agree to sacrifice Xue Qing's future. The most important thing is that Xing Sheng was injured, and we lost the initiative to participate in the changes in the pattern of Great Xia. Now I don't want merit, but I want no fault. ”
Zhao Tianyan hesitated and said, "What do you think of Xue Qing's suggestion?"
Zhao Tianxiong was shocked in his heart and said, "Big brother, you don't really want to reveal the address of the eldest prince to Wen Xiucai, right? ”
Zhao Tianyan nodded slowly, and he said, "It seems that the Imperial City will be the center of the next change in the situation, and I think it's time for Xuezhong to come back." The position of the Yulin Army, although the power is amazing, but now this situation is not suitable for our Zhao family to intervene, and the Zhao family will enter the point of comprehensive contraction and gather all the forces outside. ”

Zhao Dongli had never hated the cypress so much, but when he completely killed this pillar of cypress, two days had passed, although he was now exhausted because of continuous and uninterrupted practice, but under such high-intensity practice, he had indeed completely mastered the first layer of qi explosion, and he could use it at any angle and force of the knife.
The power of the qi explosion has also gradually increased, and now he slashes with all his strength, the power of the move itself, plus the surprise of the qi explosion, if he encounters a severe blood slaughter, he may not be able to defeat it.
Wen Zhenghan came over with a snow rabbit and said, "Look at the power of dealing with animals." With that, he shook the snow rabbit over.
Zhao Dongli's eyes flashed, and with a wave of the knife, the blade just slashed at the snow rabbit, and the qi explosion suddenly exploded, and the greatest power of the explosion was in the snow rabbit's body.
Peng!
The snow rabbit was blown up entirely, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, Zhao Dongli couldn't imagine that the power was so huge, so he hurriedly dodged and dodged the flying flesh and blood splatter.
The ground was in a mess, and Zhao Dongli couldn't help but crack his mouth.
Wen Zhenghan nodded and said, "Good practice, let's leave this valley today." ”
Zhao Dongli asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Wen Zheng said coldly: "Go and see the beast hunting." ”
In the middle of the forest, a lone goat is looking down for food, and wherever there is green on the ground, it will use its hooves to cut through the shallow layers of snow and then eat the green grass. It was shaving and eating, and when it came to the bottom of a large tree, it cut open the snow again, and was lowering its head to bite the green grass, when suddenly a cheetah swooped down from the tree.
It turned out that cheetahs would climb trees, hide in trees, cover their tracks with bushes, and attack when the goats were unprepared. It jumped on the goat's back, and with one paw it was pressed to the goat's head, and with a sharp claw, it swooped down on the goat. The goat panicked and was about to turn over and shake off the cheetah, but the cheetah had bitten on its neck and bit off a large piece of meat.
The goat was hit hard by this, but did not die for a while, but kicked violently, threw the cheetah away, and ran in one direction in a panic. The cheetah stood up and chased after him.
After a while, the goat, which had lost too much blood, could not run, and was chased by the cheetah again, and finally died in one of the cheetah's claws, which was stabbed in the stomach and became food for the cheetah.
And Wen Zhenghan and Zhao Dongli, who were hiding in another big tree, witnessed the whole process.
Zhao Dongli was about to speak, but Wen Zhenghan stopped: "I'm looking at other beasts, I'll ask you what you think." ”
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhenghan took Zhao Dongli around this mountainous area, watching a few hungry wolves besieging a wild boar, tigers hunting bison, and even wild frogs eating insects, pythons swallowing rabbits, and eagles pounced on pheasants.
Winter is coming, and in this wood, creatures are fighting at any time in order to survive, and everyone is trying to stock up on enough food.
It wasn't until the evening that the two returned to the warm valley, and after eating some barbecued meat, Wen Zhenghan asked, "Do you feel it?"
Zhao Dongli nodded and said: "The killing intent of the beast is the purest, in order to survive, in order to prey. ”
Wen Zheng said coldly: "This is a point, is there anything else?"
Zhao Dongli pondered for a while, and replied: "Wild beasts know how to hide their tracks, and they only hunt when they are closest to their prey. ”
Wen Zhenghan showed a hint of a smile and said: "When it comes to the point, even if I am a tiger in the mountains to hunt, I will not swagger in front of the prey, but try to hide myself, or borrow trees, or borrow boulders, to cover up my breath, only when it is predatory, it is the most vigorous and pure time to kill, and this time the speed and lethality are also the greatest." ”
"Cheetahs hide in trees, poisonous snakes cling to branches disguised as rattans, crocodiles hide in swamps, tigers hide in boulders downwind, and these prey are even weaker prey than them. ”
"This is part of my martial arts true meaning, starting with 'Dragon Diving Abyss', hiding the front and guarding it, waiting to move. When the time comes, it will be 'flying dragon in the sky', free and free, and make a fatal blow. ”
Zhao Dongli said secretly: This is not only the master's martial arts sincerity, but also his criterion for being a man. The dragon is in the sky, defying all powers.
Wen Zhenghan continued: "Flying dragons, when they are small, they are as inconspicuous as mosquitoes, and when they are big, they go over mountains and mountains, across the blue sky. And the dragon should take revenge with a thunderbolt for those who have offended him. ”
"After watching the animals prey, tomorrow we will go to see the killing. ”
............
Liangzhou, Yicheng County, Yicheng County.
As the seat of Uiseong-gun, Yicheng County is also quite prosperous, with a lot of people, and the streets are clean, and the shops along the street are crowded with people, and the New Year is one step closer, and the whole city has been filled with a festive atmosphere.
But in a certain square in the county seat, there is a different crowd gathering, and in the open space there is an execution table, which was originally the place where the prisoners were executed. At this moment, there is a prisoner with his hands tied behind his back, iron chains on his feet, and his head pressed against a concave torture instrument.
The crowd was surrounded, and a white-faced official was reading the verdict in his hand: "Ding Quan is guilty of buying murder, robbery, and murder, and is sentenced to death by Taishou, and will be executed immediately." The crowd of onlookers shouted loudly, and the crowd was furious.
After the white-faced official finished speaking, a burly executioner came up to the stage with a large knife in his hand, and when he walked up to the prisoner, he raised the large knife.
The official shouted: "Beheading." ”
The executioner used his strength to drop the knife, break his head, and roll to the ground. After the execution, the executioner went down the stairs again, and when he had completed his task for the day, and was about to return to his home, he was put on his shoulder on the road, unable to move, unable to speak, and then involuntarily followed the man.
It was Wen Zhenghan who came out of the mountains and forests who took him away, followed by Zhao Dongli, and the two of them waited for two days, and finally waited for the opportunity to execute the condemned prisoner, and watched the whole process on the side.
The executioner is just a profession, his own martial arts are average, and he is only at the middle level of the Tongli Realm, he was restrained by Wen Zhenghan casually, and when he was brought to a no-man's land, Wen Zhenghan let go of his hand, and after the executioner regained his freedom, he also understood that the person who could use such a means was not something he could contend with.
