Chapter 41: Yang Xuyan died tragically
The heirs of the Demon Gate Mending Heaven Dao, just like real assassins, can only hide in the shadows for the rest of their lives. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The evil king Shi Zhixuan is an exception, because Shi Zhixuan is not only the descendant of the Heavenly Dao, but also the heir of the Flower Sect.
Shi Zhixuan, who has both martial arts factions, can be called the second person in the Demon Gate under the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian, and the only person outside Xiang Yutian who can unify the Demon Gate, so Shi Zhixuan, the descendant of the Heavenly Dao, naturally does not need to walk in the shadows.
But Yang Xuyan, the descendant of the Heavenly Dao, just saw that he was called the [Shadow Assassin], and knew that he had always been a character who was used by others.
However, after meeting Yang Ming, Yang Xuyan's whole person underwent earth-shaking changes.
Now the nominal owner of Luoyang is Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but the actual owner is Yang Xuyan, the king of Luoyang.
With the identity of the son of the abolished prince Yang Yong, as well as the 50,000 Xiaoguo army left by Yang Ming in Luoyang, the current Yang Xuyan seems to be already a hegemon, and has the possibility of winning the world.
As for the assassin of the Heavenly Dao Heir's own job, Yang Xuyan hadn't done it for a long time.
When Yang Ming, Shi Qingxuan, and Hou Xibai walked into the Hanyuan Palace, they saw Yang Xuyan, who was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, sitting on the main seat of the main hall, and on the left and right sides of the main hall sat Pei Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dugufeng, the commander of the palace forbidden army, and the two generals Ma Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu, who were in charge of the Xiaoguo army.
In the main hall, the beautiful palace maids with gauze clothes and thin shirts showed graceful dancing, and Yang Xuyan and others were also surrounded by palace maids who served them to drink and have fun.
Seeing this scene in Hanyuan Palace, not to mention Yang Ming and Shi Qingxuan, even Hou Xibai, an amorous son, couldn't help frowning.
When there is chaos today, the heroes rise together, and the people are living in dire straits.
Even Hou Xibai, the descendant of the Demon Gate, wants the world to be unified as soon as possible.
Yang Xuyan, Pei Ju and others were surrounded by high-ranking officials and important ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty. There is still the interest to enjoy such a ridiculous banquet.
However, Yang Xuyan is Hou Xibai's senior brother, and Pei Ju is Hou Xibai's master, even if Hou Xibai is dissatisfied, he will not say it directly.
Shi Qingxuan directly took Hou Xibai to Hanyuan Palace, Pei Ju and Yang Xuyan were not surprised and angry, after all, Hou Xibai was a genuine person to them.
But I saw Yang Ming who came in with Shi Qingxuan. Pei Ju's eyes immediately widened in surprise, and Yang Xuyan's face became even more ugly.
Now there are rumors outside that Yang Ming, the righteous king, has died.
It was precisely because Pei Ju thought that Yang Ming was dead, so he took Shi Qingxuan to Luoyang, wanting to help his apprentice Yang Xuyan replace Yang Ming's position.
Now that Yang Ming is not dead, then he will become a huge obstacle in front of Yang Xuyan.
As long as Yang Ming is alive for a day, Yang Xuyan will not be able to get Guanzhong and Chang'an, let alone become the third emperor of the Great Sui Empire after Yang Guang.
In the past, when Yang Xuyan was a shadow assassin, he didn't have much ambition for the throne.
After all, after Yang Guang became emperor. The deposed prince Yang Yong was killed because of rebellion, and Yang Xuyan was also removed from the genealogy of the Great Sui royal family, and he naturally lost his relationship with the throne.
However, after meeting Yang Ming, Yang Ming not only handed over the eastern capital of Luoyang to Yang Xuyan, but also gave him 50,000 elite Xiaoguo troops.
After Yang Xuyan became the lord of Luoyang, he not only realized the great benefits of having power, but also had the ambition to become an emperor.
Now if you want to beat Yang Xuyan back to his original form and turn him into a shadow assassin again. It would be more realistic to kill him.
"Master Pei, Brother Xuyan, why do you see me and look like you've seen a ghost?"
Yang Ming strode in the Hanyuan Palace. came directly to Yang Xuyan, looking down at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Xuyan's right hand held the wine bottle tightly, and his eyes stared at Yang Ming, as if he wanted to see through whether Yang Ming's face was wearing a human skin mask.
After a long silence, Yang Xuyan's right hand let go of the wine bottle, and said with a hearty and sunny smile on his face.
"It turns out that it's not only Senior Sister Qingxuan and Senior Brother Hou who are here. Even His Royal Highness King Yi also came, and if Xu Yan did not entertain him well, he asked His Royal Highness King Yi to forgive me. ”
Bang!
Yang Ming pulled out the Chixiao Sword at his waist with his right hand and pointed the blade at Yang Xuyan's neck.
"Yang Xuyan, your killing intent is so obvious. Do you think I'll not notice it, and since you want to kill me, do it generously!"
"His Royal Highness the Righteous King......
Yang Xuyan showed a look of panic on his face, but before he could finish his explanation, the corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up with a cruel sneer and said.
"I've already given you the opportunity!Yang Xuyan, if you don't want to do it, I'm going to kill you now. ”
Feeling the awe-inspiring killing intent emanating from Yang Ming's body, Yang Xuyan's face became solemn, and then he urged the [Illusion Demon Body] figure to shake, and suddenly opened a distance of about three zhang from Yang Ming, and at the same time pulled out his long sword from his waist.
Yang Xuyan didn't want to die, so he naturally wouldn't fight hard with Yang Ming, after all, his martial arts realm was far inferior to Yang Ming.
After using the [Illusion Demon Body Method] to distance himself from Yang Ming, Yang Xuyan looked at Pei Ju for help.
"Master!"
But Pei Ju didn't hear Yang Xuyan's voice, he still sat in place and poured himself a drink.
From the beginning, Yang Xuyan was just Pei Ju's spare tire and abandoned son.
When Pei Ju needs something, Yang Xuyan is an important chess piece.
When Pei Ju didn't need it, Yang Xuyan, the heir of the Heavenly Dao, was not even as good as Hou Xibai, the heir of the Huajian faction, in Pei Ju's heart.
If Yang Ming is really dead, Yang Xuyan, the spare tire, will naturally be able to justifiably ascend to the throne, even if he becomes Pei Ju's son-in-law in the future, it is not impossible.
It's a pity that Yang Ming didn't die, at this moment, Yang Xuyan became that inconsequential shadow assassin in Pei Ju's heart.
Seeing Pei Ju ignore his voice, Yang Xuyan felt a deep betrayal at this moment, and he felt as if his heart had fallen to the bottom of the sea.
And it was not only Pei Ju who betrayed him, but also Yang Ming, the culprit.
"Why? Why? Why are you in front of me when you're dead?"
Yang Xuyan looked like crazy and roared at Yang Ming and asked.
"Since you didn't kill me in the first place, and gave me all this now, why do you want to spoil my good deeds. Compete with me for the Great Sui River that belongs to our Yang family?"
Yang Xuyan's eyes were shining with tears, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Yang Ming sneered and teased.
"Yang Xuyan, you have made a mistake, this world is not the Yang family's Great Sui Jiangshan, but Yang Guang's own Great Sui Jiangshan. As the son of the deposed crown prince Yang Yong, you should not have the ambition to become emperor from the beginning. Since you want to be emperor. Then you are a chaotic minister and thief like Li Yuan and Dou Jiande. ”
"Hahahaha...... I am the grandson of Emperor Taizuwen, and I have become what you call a rebellious minister and thief! If I am a rebellious minister and thief, what are you?"
"Naturally, I am also a rebel and thief, and I am also the biggest rebel and thief in the world! I made you the lord of Luoyang on a whim. Now when it's time for you to wake up from your sweet dream, let me kill you myself!"
Yang Ming's wrist flipped, the Chixiao Sword swung and slashed, and the two red sword qi crossed together and slashed towards Yang Xuyan.
Yang Xuyan urged the [Illusion Demon Body Method] again, and his figure flickered after dodging the two sword qi. Rushed towards the outside of Hanyuan Palace.
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he kicked his figure and chased after Yang Xuyan.
If Yang Xuyan had Shi Zhixuan's skills, he would be able to escape from Yang Ming's front by relying on the [Illusion Demon Body Method].
It's a pity that Yang Xuyan's speed of casting the [Illusion Demon Body Method] is about four points slower than Shi Zhixuan.
Just when Yang Ming was about to catch up with Yang Xuyan, Hou Xibai suddenly blocked in front of Yang Ming, and grabbed Yang Ming's shoulder with his right hand.
"His Royal Highness the Righteous King, please be merciful to your subordinates!"
Unexpectedly, Hou Xibai still had a bit of brotherly friendship with Yang Xuyan. He would have been saved at such a time.
"Get out of here!"
Yang Ming snorted coldly, and directly urged the talisman to knock Hou Xibai's right hand away. The body did not stop at all and chased towards Yang Xuyan.
Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
Since Yang Ming had made up his mind to kill Yang Xuyan, he naturally would not give Yang Xuyan a chance to escape.
If it was a person like Hou Xibai, even if Yang Ming had a grudge against him for killing his father and mother, he would never hurt the people around Yang Ming.
But if it is a person like Yang Xuyan, even if Yang Ming does not kill him. Just because Yang Ming ruined his dream of being an emperor, he would do everything possible to deal with Yang Ming.
After Yang Xuyan rushed out of the Hanyuan Palace, he rushed towards the outside of the palace without stopping, he urged the [Illusion Demon Body Method] to the limit, and the guards in the palace couldn't even notice that he was flying overhead.
It's a pity that Yang Ming is faster than Yang Xuyan. Just when Yang Xuyan rushed out of Daming Palace and entered the Xuanwu Gate, Yang Ming jumped in front of Yang Xuyan.
"Yang Xuyan, it's impossible for you to escape from me. I'll give you a fair chance to fight, and if you don't want to cherish it, then I'll kill you directly. ”
"A fair fight?"
A mocking sneer appeared on Yang Xuyan's face.
There is a huge gap between him and Yang Ming's martial arts realm that cannot be crossed, how can the battle between the two be fair.
But running away is death, not escaping is also death, rather than dying full of unwillingness, it is better to fight happily.
In the original book, the peak period of Yang Xuyan's martial arts was after he practiced the [Immortal Seal Method], even if Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling joined forces, they might not be able to kill him.
It can be said that Yang Xuyan's martial arts achievements in the original work are neither lost to the proud daughters of heaven like Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, nor to the protagonists of the destiny of Destiny like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
The current Yang Xuyan naturally couldn't snatch the immortal seal scroll from Shi Qingxuan's hands and practice the [Immortal Seal Method], the only martial arts he was good at were the [Phantom Demon Body Method], the [Phantom Sword Technique] and the [Black Hand Demon Skill] he obtained after becoming the atom of the Great Ming Zun Sect.
"Yang Ming, even if I die in your hands today, I can die without complaint! But you must grant me a request!"
"You want to talk about Dong Shuni, and your child in her belly, right?"
Seeing that Yang Xuyan's face instantly turned pale, Yang Ming shook his head and said with a smile.
"Yang Xuyan, don't worry! Although I am not a hero, I don't bother to bully orphans and widows, not to mention that the child in Dong Shuni's belly is still the blood of the Yang family, I will help you take good care of their mother and son." ”
If it was Cao Mengde's wife in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, he would probably say to Yang Xuyan at this time, [Your wife and I raise it].
It's a pity that Yang Ming has no interest in other people's widows, and he doesn't want to raise other people's sons as his own.
Hearing Yang Ming's assurances and promises, Yang Xuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he concentrated on urging the [Phantom Demon Body Technique] and [Phantom Sword Technique], and his figure suddenly melted into the shadows under the night.
For a moment, even Yang Ming couldn't detect where Yang Xuyan was.
However, when Yang Xuyan burst out, a cold light appeared on Yang Ming's left side, Yang Ming reacted instantly, and the Chixiao Sword naturally drew a graceful arc.
Bang!
A half-moon-shaped red sword qi slashed towards Yang Xuyan, not only cutting off the long sword in Yang Xuyan's hand, but also cutting off Yang Xuyan's right hand holding the sword.
After Yang Xuyan's right hand and broken sword fell to the ground, the wound on his wrist continued to bleed, making Yang Xuyan no longer able to hide in the shadows.
Yang Ming turned his head to look at the shadow where Yang Xuyan was hiding, and after identifying the direction from which the smell of blood came from, Yang Ming's figure suddenly rushed into the shadows.
Poof!
The Chixiao Sword pierced through Yang Xuyan's chest, nailing his body to the walls of the Xuanwu Gate.
"Ahem......"
Two mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Yang Xuyan's left hand grabbed Yang Ming's shoulder, and said weakly.
Yang Ming...... It's better to die in the hands of you, who have the same surname Yang, than in the hands of someone else...... What is the meaning of my life until now...... Maybe back then, I should have been killed by Yang Guang with my brothers and brothers......"
"Maybe to others, you are just a shadow assassin, not some Yang Xuyan!But at least there is a stupid woman, the man she loves is Yang Xuyan, and the father of her child is Yang Xuyan, do you still feel that you have no point in living until now?"
"I hear you say that...... I really don't want to die...... I...... I'm sorry for their mother and son...... Two ......"
After Yang Xuyan's faint breath disappeared, Yang Ming pulled out the Chixiao Sword from him, causing Yang Xuyan's body to fall to the ground.
The so-called dying man is also good in his words.
Although Yang Xuyan said a few affectionate and righteous words just now, it was only because he was dying.
Yang Ming remembered that in the original book, in order to usurp Li Tang Jiangshan in the way of Li Dai Taozhuang, Yang Xuyan actually gave Dong Shuni, who was pregnant, to Li Yuan's old thing.
Based on the good deeds that Yang Xuyan did in the original book, Yang Ming did not regret killing Yang Xuyan at all.
Just as Yang Ming took out a piece of cloth to wipe the blood stains on the body of the Chixiao Sword, Pei Ju came to the Xuanwu Gate and looked at Yang Xuyan's corpse and sighed.
"Actually, you didn't have to kill him!"
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up and said with a sneer.
"Why should Pei Ju pretend to be a good person? Yang Xuyan will end up like this, isn't it because you hurt him?"
"Haha...... You have a point in saying that!"
Pei Ju showed a hearty and chic smile on his face, it seemed that the death of Yang Xuyan, an apprentice, did not make him sad at all.
However, Yang Xuyan's life was originally a tragedy.
If the person Yang Ming killed was Hou Xibai, I was afraid that Pei Ju would be as uncomfortable as his own son who died.
In fact, Yang Ming didn't plan to kill Yang Xuyan so soon.
But during the period when everyone thought that Yang Ming was dead, Pei Ju actually had the idea of replacing Yang Ming with Yang Xuyan, so Yang Ming did not hesitate to kill Yang Xuyan as a warning to Pei Ju. (To be continued.) )
