A floating cloud floated in, covering the sword and crescent moon above the sky, casting a huge shadow on the ground, like a huge and friendless desolate monster silently smiling and descending into the world. I'll go to read a novel

Li Chong was prostrate in a dense tuft of cattails, although the autumn night was already quite cold, the palm of his hand holding the hilt of the knife was sweaty, and he only felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and the sound was so loud that everyone in the world could hear it.

"Head, out of the way. ”

Sun Qinggang, who was lying beside him, looked much more relaxed, and whispered: "The boss said, our operation this time is actually similar to cleaning up the battlefield, purely to pull everyone to share the credit, there is absolutely no danger." You still can't trust the boss? ”

Rubbing his palms on the grass hard, Li Chong was not afraid to expose his shortcomings, and said lightly: "Who said that I can't believe that I can't get back to the old age?" It's just that I can't avoid being a little nervous for the first time, not to mention that it's a real knife and a real gun to fight with people?"

Even the leader, let alone others, Sun Qinggang didn't hesitate to turn his head to look, only listening to the faint sound of heavy breathing around him, and he also knew how nervous the mood of the forbidden army of the first school ambushed here was. A trace of worry appeared in his eyes, and he whispered: "Head, wait a minute, let me take the lead in the meeting." ”

". Li Chong glared at him: "Do you want to rob me of my credit, or do you think that my fist is not as fast as your hard knife?" Here I am the highest commander, I have the final say on who is the vanguard, you kid pull aside and go cool." ”

After saying a few words, the tense nerves relaxed a lot, Li Chong looked around, and saw a black land in the four fields, quiet and cold, as in the past countless nights, without the slightest abnormality. I couldn't help muttering to myself: "The hour is almost up, why didn't I hear a little movement." Did something happen that caused the raid to be delayed?"

Li Chong was born in an official family, and his father's official position was not low, so he didn't need to risk his life and take such extreme measures to fight for his future and wealth. The first choice to read the novel is the fastest update, but the whole school has been pulled out, and as a school captain, he can't get out of it anyway after the defeat. In addition, he was convinced that Gui Shi'er would not harm his brothers, so he simply gave it a go.

Just when I was feeling slightly anxious, in the distance, a sharp whistle pierced the dark night sky, followed by the whistle sounded, completely waking up this night, the entire autumn hunting camp was slightly commotion, but in an instant, the light of a few tents that had been lit with lights was extinguished one after another. The autumn night grew colder and colder, huddled in the boundless shadow of danger.

Hundreds of meters away from the hillside, in the camp of the second prince Qingwang, a large number of personal guards came out of the camp tent and in the shadows, and hurriedly lined up to organize a defensive front.

When it finally started, Li Chong's nerves tensed again, and while staring at the movements of King Qing's camp, he held his breath and listened attentively.

The sound of shouting and screaming and fighting was faintly heard. It didn't last long, but it sounded to Li Chong. But it was as if hours had passed. Suddenly, a rocket flew in the direction of King Lu's camp, and it was like a beautiful and deadly firework, and the fire was blazing, and after a while, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion.

After the drama. It was a moment of dead silence.

What happened over there? Did it succeed or did it fail? Li Chong and Sun Qinggang looked at each other in shock and confusion, and their hearts hung in their throats.

Suddenly, like thunder, cheered up to the sky: "King Lu is dead, disarm and don't kill." King Lu is dead......"

It's done. Li Chong and Sun Qinggang exhaled a heavily, clenched their fists excitedly, and the former gave the order: "Prepare to attack immediately." ”

The 250 forbidden soldiers guarding the tomb nervously and methodically checked their bows, arrows, knives, guns, and other combat equipment, and although it was the first time they officially went to the battlefield, they did not make much noise; under Gui Shi'er's personal training and strict requirements, the quality of their school forbidden army was much higher than that of the same batch of new recruits. In a few moments, it will be time for them to put the results of their training to the test.

"Looks like there's something going on over there. Sun Qinggang suddenly whispered a warning.

Excluding the accompanying guards of the regular army of Dachu, there are nearly 10,000 people participating in the autumn hunt, plus several times more attendants, the area that needs to be stationed can be imagined, plus the various camps are relatively scattered, and the entire camp range is definitely several times broader than the scale of the 100,000 army.

Li Chong's ambush location is on a hill with a gentle slope, but the shrubs and grass are deep and hidden by thousands of people, and the field of vision is also very broad, and the situation of the camp in front can be seen at a glance.

At this moment, the floating clouds in the sky drifted away, revealing a bend of the moon again, and the night was no longer as dim and blurry as before. Li Chong stared at it, but saw that in the camp of the second prince Qingwang, there were a few rare figures coming out of the tent of the Chinese army, escorting one person in the middle, and running quickly outside the camp, the appearance was very hurried and urgent, and no one interrogated and stopped him when he passed through the defensive line.

In the direction of King Lu's camp, hundreds of torches were lit at this time, and the camp of King Qing moved quickly and orderly, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Obviously, because it was no longer possible to conceal the effect of the operation to collect surprise soldiers, King Jin's subordinates simply attacked King Qing with great fanfare.

Li Chong and Sun Qinggang glanced at each other, and they both saw a question in each other's eyes: "Isn't King Qing trying to escape?"

Although the figures of those men were in a hurry, and with one man, they were moving quite fast, leaping like flying, and in a short time they crossed a stream behind the camp, observed the route of advance, and were coming towards the forbidden army guarding the tomb, as if they were about to pass on their left side, and flee into the hills with more complicated rolling terrain in the rear.

"Prepare for a volley. Li Chong immediately issued an order. Regardless of whether the people who fled were King Qing or not, they must be extremely important figures in King Qing's camp, and if they waited for King Jin's people to kill, these people would have already fled without a trace, and he could not afford to hesitate and think about it any more.

The few people walked to the bottom of the hillside, paused slightly, observed the path ahead with the help of the moonlight, and just waited to go again, the first person suddenly realized, raised his eyes and swept it, and shouted in a deep voice: "There is an ambush, go quickly." ”

He was about to speed up and escape, but when he heard the bowstring sound suddenly, a large rain of arrows quickly broke through the wind.

Those people were very skillful. Immediately pulled out his portable weapon, and danced in front of him so airtight that he could only hear a rapid and chaotic sound of "Ding Ding Dangdang", and all the powerful arrows that came from him were blocked. But these people were stopped by arrows, and it was difficult for them to break through for a while.

"Array. The rain of arrows stopped for a while, and there was a loud shout in front of him. Sun Qinggang led a group of forbidden troops to show their figures, each holding swords, shields, guns and sticks, and lined up in small phalanxes, blocking the way of these people tightly.

"Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu, those who don't surrender will be killed. Li Chong waved his sword majestically and shouted, but he also had a little bit of anger, and led the rest of the forbidden army to rush down from the slopes on both sides.

In the eastern sky, there is a shallow white of the fish's belly, and a faint mist is blowing in the breeze. Together with the night, it slowly dissolves into the dawn that is gradually brightening. The first choice for reading novels is the fastest update

A new dawn has come.

Outside the palace, although he had not closed his eyes all night, King Jin, who was in a very radiant spirit, walked widely, and his complexion was like the morning glow in the eastern sky, extremely ruddy and brilliant.

"The son knocked to see his father. ”

King Jin is dressed properly. Bi respectfully knelt on the ground, looking solemn. The movements were meticulous, and the admiration on his face was as good as ever. But whether the real psychology of this moment is really like the outside is known only to him.

"Flatten. ”

Emperor Xuanwei, who was leaning on the soft couch, waved his hand, his expression was indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

"Father Xie. ”

King Jin stood up. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "The son asks to see his father, but there is an urgent matter. Last night, King Lu and King Qing suddenly attacked, intending to harm their sons, but they had no choice but to do so. The only way to protect yourself is to resist ......"

"Excuse me. Emperor Xuanwei waved his hand again and said, "My time is running out, and my energy is running out, so I don't need to say anything more." You want to tell me that the second and seventh are dead, aren't you?"

"Yes. King Jin said in fear: "The son is really a last resort, please ask my father to forgive the son and ......."

Emperor Xuanwei interrupted him again, and asked coldly: "You came to say to me, Da Chu, you can only let you inherit the unification, right?"

Although Emperor Xuanwei is old and decrepit, and he is already a mortal person, he is still not inferior to the slightest bit of prestige in the past, the words are like cones, poked in the heart of King Jin, and beads of sweat are rolling down from his forehead, and he does not dare to reply with half a ring. Keep in mind

"You dare to kill your two brothers, and you dare to come to force the palace, why are you cowering and not admitting at this moment?"

Emperor Xuanwei suddenly slapped the case, his voice was fierce, and he scolded angrily: "Since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to say it?"

King Jin's body shook suddenly, and the resentment and resentment that had accumulated for many years suddenly surged into his chest, and he erupted uncontrollably, raised his blood-red face, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Yes, I just came to tell you that I want to sit on that dragon chair." I asked the second and seventh children to be killed, so what? Why did our brothers kill each other, and they didn't force you out? If you had set up a righteous crown prince earlier, who would dare to fight for this throne? If I don't kill them now, they will kill me, and all of this is caused by you. ”

"They weren't killed by me, but by you, and you deliberately set up such a situation, don't you just want us to kill each other?"

King Jin's face was distorted and trembling, he gasped violently, venting all his resentment and anger at this moment, and shouted angrily: "Xuanwei, you old and immortal guy, in fact, everyone has been looking forward to your death for a long time, as long as you die, no matter who becomes the emperor, everyone will have a very happy life, no longer have to rack their brains day and night, thinking about how to please you, no longer have to intrigue with each other, think about how to step on other brothers, think about how not to be assassinated and poisoned...... Xuanwei, you are the culprit of all this, why don't you die? You should have died a long time ago, to die, to die!"

Full of resentment and hatred, the roar of madness echoed in the side hall of the palace, and for a long time, the two little eunuchs who served Emperor Xuanwei were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and their bodies trembled like chaff.

"Good, good. ”

Emperor Xuanwei said gloomily: "Do you think that I can no longer govern you, or do you think that no one can compete with you for the throne, so you are so presumptuous in front of me? You must know that I have more than three sons, and without the second and seventh children, I can still designate one to sit on that dragon chair." ”

"Will you do this?" King Jin, who had already let go of his burden, did not vomit unhappily, and said loudly: "In your heart, the first important thing is the high throne, and the second important thing is the Jiangshan Sheji of Great Chu. As long as you are not dead, it is true that the civil and military officials still listen to you, and the army is still in your hands, but ......"

He clenched his fists and took two steps, sneering, "However, how many days can you live?" Who has the ability to compete with me for the throne? You can execute me now, and make one of the remaining wrecks the emperor, but as soon as you swallow that breath, Da Chu will immediately become chaotic, and even if it will not be torn apart in the end, the national strength will be greatly weakened because of it, are you willing to let Da Chu take that step?"

Emperor Xuanwei's cloudy old eyes burst with bright light, staring at King Jin deadly, and shouted: "It seems that you are prepared." I've already decided that I can't help you, right?"

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. What's more, you are the father and the emperor, and I am the son. ”

King Jin looked back at Emperor Xuanwei without flinching, and sneered even louder: "For so many years, I've had enough, I've endured enough, you want me to die." Just order someone to do it. ”

Emperor Xuanwei shouted: "Someone." ”

A person suddenly appeared in the side hall, his clothes as red as fire. There seems to be a hidden heat wave around his body, and he can't see his face clearly, but he is a worship Baizhangyan who has had a vicious fight with Chen Haoran in the Great Chu Palace.

Emperor Xuanwei shook his sleeves and shouted: "Kill." ”

King Jin's heart froze, but then he calmly raised his head and sneered.

Sure enough, Bai Zhangyan bowed his head slightly, and his left hand caged in his sleeve suddenly poked out. Flicked his index finger at the two little eunuchs who were trembling with fright, and then retracted into his sleeves and disappeared from his figure.

The two little eunuchs didn't even have time to beg for mercy, and a vigorous blue flame burst out of their bodies, soaring up to a height of a foot, like two scarecrows doused with fire oil. It burned violently, and in the blink of an eye, only two small piles of ashes remained. The gauze tents and the utensils covered with flammable silk fabrics around them were undamaged, which was strange and inexplicable.

The two fathers and sons were silently opposed for a moment, and then Emperor Xuanwei said slowly: "Okay, you have shown me your courage, and to be an emperor, you must have this courage." ”

The straighter King Jin's chest became, and when he looked at it, he suddenly found that Emperor Xuanwei seemed to be half a head shorter than him, and he no longer had the solemn and tall image that he remembered and could not look up to. It's just this, if he wasn't in his current position, how could he have a chance to find out?

After a pause, Emperor Xuanwei said lonely: "There is something you said wrong, in my heart, the most important thing is always the society of Great Chu...... You all hate me, and I know very well in my heart, tiger poison does not eat children, do you really think that I, a father, am born with cruelty and cruelty, forcing you to kill each other and be indifferent?" he suddenly waved his hand and roared fiercely: "No, no, I was also forced, forced by that damn God. ”

Looking at Emperor Xuanwei, who suddenly became hysterical and a little incoherent, King Jin was extremely stunned and didn't know why.

After a good moment, Emperor Xuanwei controlled his emotions, but he was still a little undecided, and said with a sigh: "You already have the courage to kill your two brothers ruthlessly, and you have the necessary vicious means, although I can't see any heroic strategy, but among all my sons, there is no one who can match you, and I can only choose you." The first choice to read the novel is the fastest update" seems to be slightly disappointed, and I am not too satisfied with King Jin.

King Jin was quite unimpressed with his evaluation, but thinking that the overall situation had been decided, why bother arguing with this old guy who was about to enter the coffin, and was silent at the moment.

"You're not convinced, right, when you sit in this position, it won't be long before you find that you need to be more ruthless, more vicious, stronger, and more ruthless. I don't have the energy to teach you more, so I'll leave it to you to experience it later. ”

Emperor Xuanwei slowly sat back in his chair and said tiredly: "You should ascend the throne in a few days, and I can tell you some things now......"

"I see, I see. ”

After hearing this, King Jin couldn't hide the shock on his face, and muttered: "In this way, my sons, aren't they also destined to embark on this road in the future?"

The two fathers and sons were relatively speechless, with different expressions. For a long time, Emperor Xuanwei, who seemed to have aged more than ten years at this moment, waved his hand exhaustedly and said: "I have issued an order to summon all civil and military ministers to come to the imperial mausoleum, and the edict is to be passed on to you, you can rest assured...... Over the years, I have been so tired that I only have a few days to live anyway, and I will eventually go to the imperial tomb to accompany my ancestors. I don't plan to go back to the capital, so as not to go again after I die. ”

"The retainer retired. King Jin came back to his senses, and the joy and excitement of coming to the world quickly diluted the shock in his heart, and he no longer knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Xuanwei, bowed casually, and then wanted to turn around and retreat.

"That's right. ”

Emperor Xuanwei suddenly called him again. He asked, "What is your chronological name?"

King Jin thought for a while, and said: "When my father was in power, he worked hard to govern the day, and his sons rarely had the opportunity to serve his knees. ”

"Emperor Xiaocheng, Emperor Xiaocheng. Hey, hey, what a filial piety. Emperor Xuanwei read it twice, sneered twice, and there was a faint hint of sour remorse in his eyes, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and slowly closed his eyes.

In a hidden corner behind the side hall, Bai Zhangyan and his junior brother Qianqi Miao were sitting quietly with their eyes closed. There was a handsome-looking little eunuch standing on the side, and it was Naja Lishi. At this moment, the surprise and horror on his face did not disappear, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The first choice for reading novels is the fastest update

Qianqi Miao suddenly opened her eyes, stared at Jia Lishi, and said gloomily, "Did you hear anything just now?"

Jia Lishi's eyes rolled and he said in a low voice, "The disciple didn't hear anything. Did the second master just say anything? If there is any order, the disciple will do it immediately. ”

"It's not bad, the little guy is quite well-behaved. ”

Qianqi Miao nodded appreciatively and said, "No matter what you hear or not, don't go out and talk nonsense about today's events." Otherwise, if you get into trouble, it will be difficult for the two masters to come forward to protect you, understand?"

"Yes. Jalis lowered his eyebrows and agreed.

"Good. Qianqi Miao nodded with great satisfaction, thinking that his senior brother was lucky, and he was able to meet a descendant who was extremely suitable for practicing the Five Elements Gate exercises in the Great Chu Palace, although he was a little eunuch, but the people in the cultivation did not have that thing and it didn't matter much, and the Five Elements Mantra finally had a successor, otherwise his senior brother would only be afraid that he would become a sinner of the master.

In the distance, on a mountain, Chen Haoran and Linghu stood side by side, and saw King Jin walking to the palace with ambition in the distance, Chen Haoran smiled and said: "Congratulations to Linghu Boss, well, no, it's Congratulations to Our Lady." ”

Linghu glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "If you want to be sarcastic, I'll just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush." He paused and said, "What is there to congratulate? This title of Our Lady is just a promise made by King Jin as a last resort, and when he becomes emperor, time has passed, and even if he does not break his promise, my Holy Mother will not have much substantial benefit." ”

Chen Haoran said: "That's not necessarily, since the founding of the Great Chu, the power of religious affairs has been all controlled by the Dongxuan faction and the Louvre, and in the minds of the people, the influence is even stronger than that of the royal family, for this kind of terrifying power, which emperor can not be deeply jealous?"

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance and asked, "Among the dozens of countries in the east of the Taichao Divine Continent, the three countries of Great Chu, Northern Han, and Qin are far more prosperous and powerful than other countries, and their position as a powerful country has never been replaced, have you found one of the very obvious factors?"

Linghu frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I rarely pay attention to this aspect of affairs, what is the reason?"

Chen Haoran said lightly: "Sect." It is only right that the power of religion should be used by the regime and to control the people. However, except for the three major powers that have established two or more state religions, the rest of the countries have only one state religion, and the energy of those state religions is too great, and as a centralized state, the power and authority of the monarch are greatly restrained, and even controlled by them, and it is not surprising that the national strength is not prosperous at all. ”

This reason is actually very simple, Linghu Qingyan's eyes seemed to have cleared a layer of fog, and he suddenly said: "Not bad." ”

Chen Haoran said: "And the three great powers have done a good job in this regard, for example, Great Chu, let the Dongxuan faction and the Louvre fight with each other, they will not be able to spare more energy to take care of it, in the case of the balance of energy of the two factions, the emperor's status and power will not be greatly affected, the decree can be unimpeded, and it is natural to win over other countries." ”

King Jin must have known this for a long time, and when he ascended the throne, he would feel it even stronger. No one in power can tolerate anything that threatens his position and interests, but it is impossible to eradicate these two factions, so he will seek other forces to help him, and more distract the influence of the Dongxuan sect and the Louvre in the eyes of the secular people. And the spokesperson of this force will undoubtedly be you, the Virgin, and the benefits will naturally roll in at that time. ”

Ling Hu Qingyan was greatly admired, and said with a shallow smile: "I didn't expect you to be so good at scheming, it's a pity that you are not an emperor...... This time, King Jin took the throne, you contributed a lot, but you didn't get much benefit, and you were willing to hide behind the scenes, and let me take all the light, this is not your style. ”

"Who said I can't get much benefit?" Chen Haoran looked at her and said with a smile: "I have a very strong hunch that the benefits you get will definitely be cheaper for me in the end, do you believe it or not?"

His scorching and ambiguous eyes made Linghu Qingyan a little unbearable, and the implication of his words made her even more annoyed, and she sank down and said: "You have achieved success in cultivation, and you are going through calamities, but you don't want to abandon worldly desires, practice diligently and diligently, dissolve the demons and enter the supreme heavenly path as soon as possible, but look for me to say such rumors, what kind of cultivator can you be?"

Chen Haoran looked at her for a long time, suddenly shook his head, and sighed: "You are a cultivator, right?"

Linghu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What did you say?"

Chen Haoran said: "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of your hard cultivation with a pure heart and few desires?"

Linghu Qingyan replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is to ascend to the Tao." ”

Chen Haoran nodded, and asked again: "Well, after ascending to the Dao, you will become an immortal, but what about after becoming an immortal?

Linghu Qingyan was stunned again, and thought for a moment before hesitating: "If you become an immortal, you can transcend the reincarnation of the five elements, live forever and live with heaven and earth, what else can you do for it?"

"Oh, I see. Chen Haoran picked up a stone from the ground and said indifferently: "It turns out that the purpose of your hard work and cultivation is to become an existence like a stone. ”

Linghu Qingyan was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Haoran smiled and said: "Look, this stone has completely reached the realm you are pursuing, and you have no desires and no desires to enter reincarnation and immortality, isn't it just an immortal?"

"How can you compare like this?" Ling Hu Qingyan only felt a mess in his mind, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

Chen Haoran spread his hands and said, "Then you say, why can't you compare like this?"

Linghu Qingyan cleared his mind and refuted: "The stone itself is a dead thing with no life, no joy, anger and sorrow, how can it be compared with the immortals?"

"Well, you're quite right. Chen Haoran admitted, and said with a smile: "Since you yourself know that stones can't walk or jump, there is no life, and more importantly, there is no joy, anger and sorrow, that is to say, there is no emotion and no desire, and it cannot be compared with the gods." Then why do you still have to abandon your feelings and desires to practice? Even if you are allowed to cultivate as an immortal in this way, what is the difference between you and a stone? It's just an extra breath, it's just a stone that can walk and jump, what do you think is the meaning of this kind of immortal?"

Being asked by him several times in succession, Hu Qingyan's thoughts became more and more confused, and his beautiful eyes rippled with confusion, and he muttered: "Is it wrong for me to practice like this? No, no, the master taught me like this, it can't be wrong." ”

Seeing that she drilled the tip of the horns, Chen Haoran smiled secretly in his heart, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You think about it slowly, I won't accompany you...... By the way, you yourself said that I have contributed a lot this time, so I should express my gratitude, right? ”

"Good. Linghu Qingyan was still thinking hard, so he responded casually, and then reacted, only to feel that this guy was really cunning, funny and annoyed, and said with a straight face: "No, you don't succeed." ”

"Do you want to go back on your promise? Chen Haoran laughed and flew away, throwing a sentence far away: "Let her live with Lu Qi, and I will go to you to receive a thank you gift when I have time." (To be continued......)
