The night recedes and the stars and moon disappear.
The skylight fell again, illuminating the prosperous capital of Jiang Kingdom. The gilded palace tiles of the imperial palace shone with bright golden light.
The ordinary people were like fish thrown ashore, with their mouths wide open, and then they let out bursts of exclamations. Amidst the discussions, their eyes looked towards the direction of the princess's mansion, showing endless awe.
The real adults pursed their lips tightly and said nothing, but their tense faces and concentrated eyes all revealed their inner shock.
Since the guards of the clan's mansion fled, the location of the eldest princess's mansion attracted all the attention of King Jiang, but the final result was unexpected. The proud and proud Holy Son Yuan Qing of Moon God Palace unexpectedly met a violent end.
In the last scene, the face formed by the light of the stars and the moon helped the young man more and more to show his own edge.
Luo Guan!
This name broke into their field of vision again with a strong attitude, becoming more and more awe-inspiring.
Hai Lao suppressed his weak legs, forced out a smile, and said respectfully: "Friend Luo, everything today is a misunderstanding. I apologize to you on behalf of the eldest prince, and I also ask you to show your respect." He had no doubt that as long as the other party is willing, he can Leave everyone here today.
Yuan Qingdu is dead? Not to mention them!
The eldest prince's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "The little king does not know Master Luo's identity. I did not mean to offend you before. Please forgive me!"
He, the eldest prince of the Jiang Kingdom and a strong contender for the throne, had to lower his head at this moment and pray to the young man in front of him for a chance to live.
But at this moment Luo Guan didn't even look at him, and turned to look at Jiang Tong, the meaning of which was self-evident.
The eldest prince's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, bowed and saluted, "...Sister, it was my brother who was wrong today. Please remember our past friendship and don't share my experience." He was extremely aggrieved, but he did not dare to show it. Halfway through, his eyes were full of pleading.
Jiang Tong bit his lip, "Luo Guan, let them go."
"Okay." Luo Guan nodded, not caring about this, "Then please bring the eldest prince back with you. Luo will attend the 100th birthday banquet of Emperor Jiang together with the eldest princess."
Jiang Jin's face changed slightly and he quickly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Wang will bring the words."
The group of people left in a hurry.
Looking at their backs, Jiang Tong smiled bitterly, "Luo Guan, do you think I am too kind and soft-hearted?"
Luo Guan thought for a moment and nodded, "If we get along in a different place, I'm afraid there is only a dead end waiting for you." After a slight pause, he continued: "However, he is just a small role, not important."
He looked up at Jiang Tong and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Your Highness, Princess, do you want to be the Queen of the Jiang Kingdom? I have experience in this kind of thing."
Jiang Tong's eyes widened.
Soon, the eldest princess Jiang Tong will attend. News of Emperor Jiang's centenary birthday banquet spread throughout the royal capital, triggering a new round of exclamations and shocks. Everyone was waiting for a response from the imperial palace, but in the end, what they waited for was only a long silence.
And silence is sometimes the answer.
Soon, two days passed, and Emperor Jiang's centenary birthday banquet was held as scheduled.
Princess Mansion.
When Luo Guan heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and looked back. His expression couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he expressed his heartfelt admiration, "Your Highness is so beautiful today."
Either after experiencing the previous test of life and death, or because she swallowed the innate dragon's blood, Jiang Tong emerged from the cocoon and showed her unparalleled elegance today. She wore a gorgeous long dress that set off her gorgeous and noble figure. The breath is dazzling.
Hearing Luo Guan's praise, Jiang Tong's heart beat faster. He stepped forward to hold his arm and said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Today, I'll leave everything to you."
Luo Guan laughed, "Then let's go now, so as not to keep people waiting."
The carriages and horses have been waiting outside the princess's residence for a long time, and countless eyes are focused on this, whether overtly or secretly.
Seeing the vermilion door open, a man and a woman walked out among the crowd, the news was immediately transmitted to all directions at an alarming speed——
The eldest princess and Luo Guan set off for the imperial palace!
…
Imperial Palace.
Emperor Jiang was only a hundred years old. For a practitioner, it would not be too much to say that he was young and strong. However, he had premature hair and showed his age. At this moment, standing in front of the imperial couch, with his beautiful concubines and palace maids serving him in gorgeous dragon robes, his old and withered body once again exudes the majesty of ruling the world.
The trusted servant stepped forward, and after bowing respectfully, he carefully approached Emperor Jiang and said a few words in a very low voice.
The corner of Jiang Huang's mouth raised, revealing a trace of mockery, "My queen is still so stupid, but if she wasn't so, how could I rest assured and let her take charge of the inner court."
"Then Your Majesty, what should I do today?"
Jiang Huang waved his hand, "What are you doing? It's just a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors trying to disturb my birthday banquet. I just need to remain silent."
His withered yellow eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
??????????????? Now that we have entered this great struggle for the country, we will naturally have to bear the backlash it brings.
It doesn't matter who is the final winner. What's important is that he must be the one who can support Jiang Guo's future. His daughter is not lacking in wit and strategy, but her heart is not ruthless enough.
…
The carriage drove quietly on the long and wide street of the royal capital. Luo Guan closed his eyes slightly, and Jiang Tong sat opposite him.
Suddenly, a gentle knocking sound was heard, and Wan Ning's voice came, "Your Majesty, please sit still."
Swish——
Luo Guan opened his eyes and saw a solemn look on Jiang Tong's face opposite him.
He smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a test. I'll lend you their heads to give you more dignity."
"So that the people within Jiang State will understand from today that the world of Jiang State is about to change... They must make a new choice."
As Luo Guan's voice fell, a loud "boom" sound came from the distance. The next moment, a crossbow arrow that was completely black and shining with forbidden light exploded at an astonishing speed.
The air was torn apart, making a shrill sound, and the terrifying and thick arrow tip flashed with a terrifying light that made people palpitate.
boom--
With a shocking loud noise, an arrow that penetrated the space was knocked out hard and exploded into pieces while it was still in mid-air.
The eyes of the fourteen eyes were fierce, and murderous intent rose around him, "How dare you, Xiaoxiao, to be disrespectful to your Majesty?!"
boom--
He took one step down, and his figure roared out. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to the position where the crossbow arrow was shot. A group of monks, all covered in black clothes, rushed towards them silently. However, the absolute power gap caused today's starting point. It was a devastating massacre.
But they did not retreat, just to help their companions gain time to shoot the second arrow.
At the same time, countless black figures suddenly rushed out on the long street where the carriage was driving, holding a sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other. With the dull sound of "Puff" and "Puff", countless powerful crossbows were shot out, and the dense arrows covered the sky and the sun for an instant.
The crossbow arrow is quenched with poisonous blue, and it can be seen that the blood seals the throat. It is integrated with the crossbow. It is the proud handiwork of the weapon refiner master. It can explode with cultivation, and it can cause horrific damage that far exceeds one's own strength.
And almost at the moment when the black figures rushed out and the crossbows covered the sky, there was a violent explosion on the ground, and heavy fog rolled up, obscuring all sight. At the same time, the mist itself also contains strong poison. When it touches the ground, it makes a harsh corrosive sound.
The two guards outside the carriage raised their mouths slightly, revealing a strange and sinister smile. They ignored the poisonous mist and rushed out. Covered by the fog in the sky, countless ghost figures rushed out from their sleeves, blocking all the crossbow arrows. After a slight pause, they shot back at a faster speed.
Pfft——
Pfft——
The sound of flesh and blood being pierced was heard densely, and corpses in black fell down and huddled up under the influence of the poison. With the sound of bones and flesh exploding and cracking, each living person was reduced to the size of a palm in a blink of an eye, and the purple-red flesh exuded a strong stench.
next moment!
Bang——
Bang——
Countless explosions were heard, and the purple-red flesh that the black-clothed corpses turned into exploded without warning, and countless bugs flew out from the inside. It fluttered its wings and rushed towards the carriage where Luo Guan and Jiang Tong were.
Wan Ning, who was the coachman, stood up solemnly and punched him while shouting. As soon as this punch fell, the black wind suddenly blew up, sweeping like an invisible blade. A dense crackling sound sounded, and the countless poisonous insects that rushed towards him were exploded into pieces.
But at this moment, an even weirder scene appeared. As countless poisonous insects exploded to pieces, a shadow gradually emerged from the poisonous mist. It was as big as a hundred feet, with eight pairs of huge jointed legs. Its wings spread out gave the impression that they could block the sun, and its pair of scarlet compound eyes locked onto the carriage. Wan Ning felt extremely uneasy in his heart.
In the carriage, Jiang Tong's face suddenly turned white, and she had a strong premonition - she was going to die soon!
Right now, right now!
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her, and the warmth in the palm made Jiang Tong break free again and again, as if she was in a nightmare.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
She panted heavily, with cold sweat covering her forehead. She opened her mouth, and her voice was extremely hoarse, "Luo Guan, what is this?"
"A curse." In his mind, Xuan Gui's voice fell, and the corners of Luo Guan's mouth raised, revealing a little sarcasm, "It feeds on the essence and blood of close relatives, and condenses it with the power of death and poison. It can curse and kill the soul invisibly. This is A very powerful method.”
"It seems that some people are very afraid of what you are going to do next. They would rather spend a lot of money to get rid of you."
Jiang Tong's body trembled.
Feeding on the essence and blood of a close relative... This sentence is all cruelty, and she just let Jiang Jin go yesterday, which is really ironic.
She closed her eyes and opened them again, "I know."
Luo Guan sighed in his heart, that seat was not easy to sit in, just like Jin Ya, even though she was in front of him, she could still unlock any posture. But to outsiders, she is the supreme Empress Qingyang, who is in charge of the lives and deaths of millions of people, and every thought will determine the life and death of millions of people.
Therefore, the heart must be hard enough!
Is it really right to send Jiang Tong to that position? ! He doesn't seem to have a reason for doing this. After all, the top ten thieves represented by Ji Hong and other collaborators will definitely find a way to get Jiang Guo's national jade seal.
He thought for a moment and said: "You can still regret it. Even if you don't ascend the throne, I can ensure your prosperity and wealth in Jiang Kingdom."
Jiang Tong shook his head, "No!" Her expression showed determination, "Actually, I have always been a very ambitious woman. I didn't have the chance before, but since you gave me the qualifications, I must firmly grasp it... I To sit in that chair, it at least gives me some control over my own destiny."
After a brief pause, she continued: "Moreover, you have too many enemies, so many that even though you are very powerful now, you still can't sit back and relax. If I become the Queen of Jiang State, Jiang State will become your capital. It’s an everlasting promise and the only reward I can give you!”
