Monarch of Evernight: Forty-one life and death situation (Part 1)
bsp;In the imperial capital, the sun is just right.
Under the corridor in the square outside "Xiao Zang Palace", two men of similar age and somewhat similar faces were standing.
"Thank you, uncle, for your help." Emperor Hao bowed to the ground.
King Linjiang turned aside to the front with a cold expression, "There is no one else here, why bother to act like this."
There was no trace of displeasure on Emperor Hao's face, he just said: "Wait for one more person." Before King Linjiang frowned and asked, he directly said the answer, "It's King Qingyang."
Linjiang King raised his eyebrows and said: "Can you win him over? It's not easy."
"King Qingyang is not someone who can be won over. He and Marquis Lin have always had political disagreements, and they have always ignored the law. He is just on our side this time."
"Then he is brave enough. The two great uncles only helped suppress the imperial capital and the overall situation of Qinlu. He, a king with a different surname in the imperial capital, not only dares to enter the Xiaozang Palace, but also dares to stand in your and my territory. Come?" As he spoke, King Linjiang shook his head as if remembering something from the past, "Zhang Boqian, this person is really, ah, invisible."
Emperor Hao said: "I know what the emperor was worried about just now. Don't worry, how could I let Marquis Lin step in this muddy water? In fact, he can't even think about leading troops to fight again until his injury is healed. ."
King Linjiang was a little surprised. After being slightly stunned, he nodded and said: "That's fine."
Not long after, a figure fell on the corridor, it was Qingyang King Zhang Boqian. The three of them looked at each other and nodded as a courtesy, but no one had any intention of exchanging greetings.
The gate of "Xiao Zang Palace" slowly opened.
Emperor Hao took the lead and walked in.
It was almost noon, and it was unusually quiet inside and outside Xiaozang Palace. No matter in sight or in perception, apart from the three of them, there was no fourth person.
As soon as Zhang Boqian entered the palace gate, he immediately found that he had entered a closed space similar to a small world.
Emperor Hao and King Linjiang have released their respective realms. The "King's realm" and the "Settlement Pagoda", which have the same origin as the secret method of the imperial family, are very similar. The force of the force has evolved into various landscapes of mountains, rivers, and nations. After the edges of the two realms touched each other several times, they began to slowly overlap.
And in the main hall ahead, there is a vast and obscure powerful aura, burning like the sun in this enclosed space.
Zhang Boqian's face was calm and his eyes were deep. He was not as sharp and flying as usual, but his momentum was not inferior at all. He was huge and vast.
Even Emperor Hao didn't know for a moment that Zhang Boqian just had no concrete domain, or he was just standing there without any cover. If it is the latter, that means that just two days after the challenge from the King of Heaven, Zhang Boqian's martial arts actually made progress again.
This question only caused a small ripple in Emperor Hao's mind. He put aside any unnecessary thoughts and walked along the corridor towards the main hall.
To this day, every alliance he makes is a gamble, and every step he takes is on the edge of a knife. The slightest mistake will result in defeat, and the people he wants to protect will be ruined and die without a burial place. .
Emperor Hao personally pushed open the two carved middle doors of the main hall, and the light penetrated into the dim hall. It stopped strangely at the middle line and did not go deeper. Half of the hall, together with the throne at the end, was buried in the shadow.
"Dawn revives, the emperor's blood is no longer suppressed, and the first one to awaken is the son of a singer like you. Is God playing tricks on me, the Ji family of Great Qin?" A gloomy old voice echoed from the walls of the hall. And rise.
As Emperor Hao and the other three entered the main hall, the door closed behind them.
The hall was not so dark that one could not see his fingers. The whole room was gray, showing a faded paleness, like a rainy day in the daytime. The second half of the hall, which was originally hidden in the shadows, slowly emerged, along with the old figure sitting there.
Emperor Hao looked calm and was not affected by the almost insulting words of the Immortal King. He slowly walked to the center of the hall and stood still.
"I, the Ji family of Da Qin, were lucky enough to rise up on the bank of Luoshui River. Since Taizu, there have been thirty-three branches of the lineage, and there are still 17 branches left. The blood of our ancestors has watered this land. This flowering and fruiting, reproduction and inheritance. You are the eldest member of the clan and have supported our clan for more than a hundred years. Why do you want to kill your own clan?"
"Young man with a yellow mouth, I am here to preach to you. I did not lose to you, but to God's will."
"If it weren't for your arrangement back then, how could my mother and concubine have the good fortune to serve the late emperor, and how could Empress Zhao have killed two people for such a trivial matter?"
The laughter of the King of Immortality stopped suddenly, and two eyes passed through the ??Diyin Lujiaopi┑凵砩xi? After a moment, he said: "You really know a lot. It seems that not only the king's domain has fallen into your hands. , even Fenyang Hou’s family changed their ways.”
Emperor Hao said calmly: "There is no more Fenyang Marquis."
The Immortal King laughed loudly, "Okay, good kill! You don't have to be lenient when you kill the clan!"
"The kings of Fenyang, Linyi, and Qi have hidden armored soldiers in their mansions. While they are watching the empire's mainland from this dark holy mountain, they want to cause chaos in the imperial capital. This is a crime that overthrows the empire. No one can forgive it." Emperor Hao still can't forgive it. His expression remained unchanged and his tone was calm, but every word he spoke was full of blood and fire.
After Emperor Hao and the three of them entered the Xiaozang Palace, the Changsheng King knew that the situation was over. And at this point, he also understood that most of the backhands had been uprooted by Emperor Hao. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, the situation would not be affected.
The Immortal King stared at Emperor Hao with gnawing eyes, "I really underestimate you."
He had never looked at the man standing in the palace. Similarly, in the eyes of many clan members, Emperor Hao's children with noble maternal lines and outstanding talents were more valuable than himself. Otherwise, the two factions of King Changsheng and Emperor Su had been secretly strangulating each other for nearly a month. How could it be that it was not until Emperor Hao challenged King Qingyang that they realized who the real chess player behind the scenes was.
One wrong move and the whole game is lost.
The King of Immortality suddenly laughed in a low voice, with a voice as thick as a night owl, "Okay, since you want to ask about cause and effect, let me tell you. I, Ji, have shed a lot of blood in order to support this bit of luck at dawn. Those are the ones you think. Of the thirty-three lineages when the country was founded, only two have been passed down to this day, namely your and my ancestors. The names of those fifteen are still there, but in fact they have all changed their masters. His ability has also been eliminated by his direct descendants."
He suddenly emphasized his tone and said every word: "Which family in the empire has sacrificed as much as my Ji family's children?"
"The Zhao family and my Ji family have been intermarriage for generations. It is ridiculous to say that now, if you want to test the strength of the emperor's blood, try it with the sons and daughters of Gaoyi. It may be stronger than Linjiang and you."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the palace had different expressions.
Emperor Hao was just about to speak, but the Immortal King ignored him and said to himself: "The younger generation of the Zhao family has taken away the Manjushahua. What if it can drive the Human Emperor one day? Taizu planned to 'Zai Yao' At the beginning, he chopped off the wings of the flying snake and carried the sun. From then on, the totem of the Ji family was missing, and the emperor's blood was suppressed for generations. What was all this for? Could it be that the strong man could not protect his bloodline and inheritance? Let those weak people like ants live in vain? ”
Emperor Hao's expression suddenly became clear, and then he became extremely solemn and said in a low voice: "It turns out that what you want to subvert is the Yao Lun..."
The fingers like dead branches of the Immortal King stretched out from under the wide sleeves and clasped the armrest with force. His eyes were full of regret that he would not wait for me.
He leaned forward slightly and stared at the people in the palace, "Look what's left of Ji Sulian's lineage! Linjiang was bewitched by Lin Xitang, and he degenerated and retreated from the frontier for thirty years. And you! Ji Ji An, the blood of a lowly family is openly in the temple?"
The old voice echoed in the hall, as cold as a snake, like a roar and a curse.
"My Daqin family, Ji, has died!"
The Immortal King's turbid eyes rolled over Zhang Boqian like a poisonous snake's letter, "Human nature is always forgetful and greedy, no one will remember the initial sacrifice. Looking at the Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, powerful families have risen and fallen like the tide, and there are always surnames. The emperor's blood is disappearing year by year. Once those kings with different surnames reach the top, they will not only hold the imperial family hostage and support their own surnames."
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and muddy, making people feel as if a mountain had weighed on their chests, making them feel unspeakably sad.
Whether the Immortal King really believes in the secret method of the demon descendant is no longer important. What he is unhappy about is the decline of the clan and the withering of the emperor's blood. Maybe he thought that cutting off the obsidian wheel would release the emperor's blood. However, no one thought that the "beginning of Zai Yao", which had been silent for thousands of years, would be completed at this time, and there would be no possibility of subversion.
"It is better for me to destroy the empire built by my Ji family than to die at the hands of others!"
The hall was silent for a while, and you could hear a needle drop.
Zhang Boqian's face was as dark as water, but King Linjiang looked a little disappointed. Emperor Hao stood with his eyes lowered, but he felt particularly at ease.
Emperor Hao's voice cut through the dullness like a sharp instrument cracking silk, "However, our ancestors stood on the banks of the Luoshui River and wanted to no longer be used as slaves. Taizu decided to lay the foundation of the country with the emperor's blood. It is to carry the light of dawn, and now it has been realized. This is the original intention of our ancestors!"
The King of Immortality laughed intermittently, "Hehe, hehe, hehehe, Ji'an Xiao'er, if you are as righteous as you say, why don't you let Lin Xitang die?"
Hao Emperor's pupils shrank suddenly.
The King of Immortality’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it seemed to have a bewitching rhythm. “When Zaiyao Beginning is completed, there will be no need for him to suppress Tianji. This man is as clever as a demon, and one person can be the leader of two Tianji masters. , crushing his spirit and throwing him into the fate of the country, the dawn of recovery can be half ahead of schedule. Isn’t the destiny of the Tianjishi a blood sacrifice? ”
Before he finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the hall. Then, like the eve of a rainstorm, the sound of thunder continued, and Zhang Boqian punched the throne above.
No one could have expected that Zhang Boqian would be the first to take action.
Emperor Hao and King Linjiang immediately tried their best to open up their domains and swept up to the four walls of the palace in an instant.
At the same time, the haze in the room was swept away. Walls, floors, dust, and all entities seemed to disappear together. Blue fluorescent lights flashed in all directions, as if they would fall into the stars at the top of the world in the next moment. . Terrible pressure also pressed in from all directions, as if drowning in the deep sea.
This strange scene only appeared for a few breaths before it was swallowed up by the superimposed realm of "King Realm" and "Settlement Pagoda", and the gray hall revealed its true appearance. After Emperor Hao and King Linjiang worked together to suppress the force array in the palace, they had time to look at the audience.
Unexpectedly, the expected earth-shattering blow did not happen.
Just before arriving at the throne, Zhang Boqian suddenly closed all his fists and stopped on the spot. When he landed, his feet suddenly sank. He stepped a few centimeters into the ground, but his body was still swaying slightly. It was obvious that the blow was not so easy to absorb.
Why would he rather be counterattacked than stop?
