"Your Majesty moves so fast."
Xiao Changling stood quietly in the hall, his expression was very dull and indifferent, he glanced coldly, with a strange smile on his lips, but there was a faint chill in his words.
At this moment, in the solemn Xianyang Hall, swords and weapons were shining, and there was only the sound of the collision of metal armor, mixed with the sharp sound on the blade, clanking.
Countless cold knives were drawn out of their sheaths, and the sword power was superimposed layer by layer, flashing with a dazzling light. Xiao Changling stood in the center, motionless, and was surrounded by more than twenty forest guards holding knives and wearing armor. in the middle.
However, even with the addition of swords and axes, Xiao Changling looked calm in the face of more than twenty sharp steel knives, and his face was calm and calm. Under the intimidation of all the Yulin swordsmen, he looked calm and relaxed, looking particularly cool and comfortable; From time to time, he would tilt his head slightly, raising his sword eyebrows in a playful manner and casting a provocative look at the sword-wielding imperial guards.
This understated glance was blazing, and the gaze was as sharp as an arrow, shooting out of the sky from the string, and like a ball of netherworld fire, burning thousands of miles away, gradually becoming tiny and insignificant, becoming the sharpest end of the sword's edge.
Under the siege of armored soldiers, he could still be so calm and composed, teasing the murderous sword and ax hands with his sharp eyes. Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, only the King of Qin, Xiao Changling, had such perseverance and perseverance. Courage, this is not arrogance, but self-confidence and pride that comes from deep within.
No one among the Imperial Guards present dared to look directly into his fiery eyes, as if they would be shot through by a hail of arrows all over the sky. They knew very well what kind of figure the man in white clothes with a gloomy face in front of them was. He was the late emperor's favorite second prince. He was once just one step away from the throne. He was a powerful man with great achievements and commanded 400,000 yuan. The Jingbei Iron Cavalry wiped out hundreds of thousands of Southern Chu elites, killed the Rouran thieves, and made countless unparalleled contributions to His Highness the King of Qin.
How could that innate majesty and awe-inspiring arrogance not be intimidating? Even the Royal Guards wanted to put the commander-in-chief of Jingbei, who was licking blood from his sword and rolling in a pile of dead people, under The place of death is nothing more than a fantasy.
Therefore, I saw that those sword and axe-hands who were originally fierce and fierce, now all changed their colors in shock, the hands holding the swords were trembling slightly, and some of them were even frightened and took several steps back.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Changling glanced at him and felt a little funny for no reason. The gazes in his eyes were like two handfuls. The blade of the sword was slashing towards the golden-armored forest guards, as if it was about to pierce through their bodies; suddenly, Xiao Changling laughed coldly.
"Come on, take action, don't you want to take Gu's head? Gu is standing here, come on, everyone come up and kill the national traitor!"
But they saw Xiao Changling approaching with a murderous look on his face, step by step, with two sharp arrow-like gazes, entwined with ghostly shadows, shooting straight out; every time he took a step forward, those with knives would The Royal Forest Army will automatically take a step back; the rumble of Liuyun's boots on the ground paved with white jade is like the pressure of Mount Tai, shaking everyone's heart.
At this time, Xiao Changyao had already returned to the imperial court, sitting on the dragon couch, quietly staring at the second brother who had become a trapped beast under the stage, but did not look like a trapped beast, but instead highlighted the fierceness of the tiger. .
After a while, Xiao Changling looked back and looked at the emperor on the dragon throne, his eyes shining with brilliant light like fiery trees and silver flowers, and he said with a slight smile.
"Your Majesty, I am really honored to have such a big battle just to treat you to a meal. Your Majesty must have been planning for today for a long time."
When Xiao Changyao heard this, he suddenly smiled and said with a hint of ridicule.
"You are a fierce tiger. If I don't plan well to deal with the tiger, you will swallow me up in one bite. Ah Hao, I have taken great pains to treat you. Are you still satisfied?"
Seeing Xiao Changyao's triumphant expression, a great feeling of disgust rose up from the depths of Xiao Changling's heart; however, Xiao Changling's expression was still as calm as the sparkling lake, and his face was as calm as the sparkling lake. There was nothing strange on Guanyu's face.
For a moment, Xiao Changling slowly opened his arms, and the snow-white cloak naturally gathered behind him. His move had both an air of scolding Fang Qiu and a desire to embrace the world into my arms. Pride.
Then, Xiao Changling gently shook his sleeves, focused his eyes together, and spoke solemnly.
"Does Your Majesty think that just these few people can stop me? You should know very well that since I dare to come to Beijing, there is nothing to fear!"
When Xiao Changling said these words, his face turned into ice, and his tone was low and powerful. Although it seemed to be passed by in one stroke, it was like carrying thousands of lofty clouds, penetrating through the layers of haze, and dividing the sky into two.
After being silent for about a long time, Xiao Changyao leaned on the couch, looking very casual, but in fact, his imperial majesty had not diminished at all.
"Second brother, I said that you are a smart person. The biggest weakness of smart people is: self-righteousness. Do you think you can threaten me like this?! I tell you, what I hate most in my life is to be threatened by others! "
That's right.
He is the emperor, the son of heaven, the king of the Zhou Dynasty, and the lord of the world. As an emperor, he never likes to be threatened by his subordinates. This is also the way of being a king that his father personally taught him during his lifetime. He has always learn by heart.
However, he overlooked one thing. At this moment, the stubborn and extremely calm King Qin, who stood proudly in the palace, his biological brother, was not a puppet that could be manipulated easily. He had the courage to say to the emperor, " No", he dared to bargain with the imperial court, because behind him, there were three states, 400,000 troops, and countless Jingbei generals and northern men who strongly supported him and willingly followed him...
At this moment, the air in Xianyang Palace was extremely solemn. Apart from the breathing of everyone and the "tick, tick, tick" sound of the golden dragon water drain, no other sounds could be heard.
But soon, Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back and looked at the aloof Emperor with an intriguing look. He also glanced at the steel knives next to him that were about to be hung around his neck. An extreme expression appeared on his face. A look of contempt and a smile.
"Then I also want to tell your majesty that what I hate most in my life is having a knife put to my neck. Man said it's these bastards. Even when the late emperor was here, he never pointed a knife at me. King Gu. There is only one person in the world who dares to point a knife at Gu, and that is Duan Wenzhen, the military saint of Southern Chu. Gu once said that this person will not die for a day, and he will not take off his armor for a day. I think back then, His Xueyun spear has wounded many warriors in our Zhou Dynasty! But now, the former Chu army god general has long been turned into a withered skeleton in the grave, lying in front of the loess of the princess's tomb, fighting against Gu Gu. Repent. I don’t believe it, can you compare to Duan Wenzhen back then?! Or, do you also want to keep him company underground?”
After saying that, Xiao Changling looked up to the sky and laughed, but this wild laughter was so chilling and frightening.
The cold words, coupled with the frightening laughter, are like the harsh sounds of the magic flute, which are gradually disintegrating people's minds, shaking people's beliefs, and bringing people to the edge of collapse little by little.
Xiao Changling's move and words were like shooting a fatal arrow into the heart of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. He seemed to be telling Xiao Changyao that not even Duan Wenzhen could kill me back then, not even the hundreds of thousands of people from Nanchu. No elite soldier can kill me, let alone you. Even if you are the emperor, what can you do? There is nothing you can do against me, Xiao Changling!
At this moment, Xiao Changyao, who was sitting in front of the imperial case, changed his lazy movements and slowly sat up straight after hearing what Xiao Changling said.
"King Qin, do you think that because you are the beloved son of the late emperor and have guarded the country's borders for many years and have made great military achievements, you can unscrupulously control me and I will not dare to do anything to you? Do you think that you are holding the power in your hand?" The Jingbei commander with an army of 400,000 can ignore the laws of the imperial court and ignore me. I can tolerate you once or twice, but this does not mean that I will accommodate you forever. Do you really think that I dare not treat you? Sin?!"
The more he went on, the more livid Xiao Changyao's complexion became. This deep-tempered emperor, who had always been aloof from emotions and anger, finally lost his nerve and made a rare loss of composure. Moreover, at this time, Xiao Changyao's attitude toward Xiao Changling's title also changed inadvertently, from "Ah Ma" and "Second Brother" to the "King of Qin" in his current mouth. In an instant, he went from brother to monarch.
Unexpectedly, seeing Xiao Changyao's livid and purple face, Xiao Changling felt an unprecedented pleasure in his heart. After all these years, in Xiao Changling's impression, he had never defeated him. Brother, this time, he finally won, and God finally did not let him down.
"You really don't dare." Xiao Changling raised his eyebrows and looked at the man on the dragon couch with mockery in his eyes, releasing a lot of bone-chilling coldness.
When they looked at each other, the Emperor in King Qin's eyes was so despicable and unbearable; and in the eyes of Emperor Qin, King Qin was so perverse and cruel.
At the same time, there was also a tense situation outside the palace, and the situation between the two sides was extremely tense.
Although the palace door was tightly closed, the sound of swordsmen clashing inside could still be heard outside through the gap in the tall palace door. Even through the thick red lacquer carved dragon gate, the obvious movement could be faintly heard.
Although Long Xifeng stood under the stone steps, with his extraordinary hearing, he could vaguely distinguish the sounds in the palace, which were the friction of blades being pulled out of their sheaths, and the sound of metal clashing with armor...
Suddenly, the fiery-tempered Lieutenant General of Tiefutu's army suddenly knitted his thick black eyebrows together. An ominous premonition came to his mind. Could it be that something happened to the king?
As the deputy general of Tiefutu and the general in the army that King Qin Xiao Changling relied on, Long Xifeng, like many generals of the Jingbei Army, was absolutely obedient to His Highness the King of Qin. In his eyes, King Qin's military orders are above all else; King Qin's safety is above all else, so of course he does not allow anyone to harm His Highness the King of Qin, even if that person is the emperor.
Thinking of this, Long Xifeng's face sank, he held the "Jingbei Sword" tightly at his waist, and took a bold step forward, as if he wanted to force his way into the palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Long Xifeng took the first step, a captain of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward to stop him and said to him coldly.
"General, stop. This is the Emperor's palace. No one is allowed to enter without His Majesty's order."
You must know that Long Xifeng is famous for his fiery temper in the Jingbei Army. At this moment, seeing this little captain standing in front of him and talking shamelessly, Long Xifeng's face was stern. There was a slight "hum" at the end of the nose.
"You have such a bad tone. How dare you, a mere captain, talk to this general like this!"
However, facing the aggressive Long Xifeng, the captain did not give in. He held the sword on his waist and looked at Long Xifeng arrogantly.
"I have been ordered by Your Majesty to guard the main hall. General, please don't embarrass me."
"What if I have to enter!" Long Xifeng's face was filled with awe, and his eyes full of murderous intent were staring at the imperial captain.
"I'm just following orders. If the general insists on forcing his way in, don't blame him for his humble duty and ruthlessness."
After saying that, there was only a "swipe" sound, and the Royal Forest Army captain wearing golden armor drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at Long Xifeng; then, there was another "swish, swish, swipe", and there was a crisp sound of drawing the sword. The sound rang out out of thin air, and the imperial guards guarding Xianyang Palace showed their sabers one after another.
For a moment, outside the Xianyang Hall, the golden-armored forest guards stood facing the heavily-armored iron pagoda with swords and bright blades.
"Okay, if you have the guts, you dare to draw a sword in front of me!" Long Xifeng sneered and cast two disdainful eyes on those who claim to be the proud sons of heaven.
Immediately, Long Xifeng stood upright like an iron tower, holding the handle of the Jingbei sword in his left hand, and raised his right hand high into the air, clenched it into a fist, and swung it down suddenly and forcefully, shouting loudly.
"Brothers, copy the guy!"
With an order, the three iron pagoda warriors, in unison and with quick movements, lifted up the crossbows hanging on their waists, opened the crossbow pivots, and cocked the crossbow arrows.
The Tiefutu warriors, who are famous for their field battles, were uncharacteristic of themselves. Instead of unsheathing their swords, they took out their rarely used crossbows for the first time. After a closer look, the three Tiefutu raised their crossbows one after another. crossbow. On the crossbow machine of each crossbow, three black crossbow arrows were tilted slightly in the air. The icy arrowhead glowed with a biting cold light, reflecting a dazzling white light.
Under Tiefutu's powerful crossbow offensive, the advantage that the Royal Forest Army was originally proud of, the long knife array, was no longer the only advantage. No matter how many steel knives they had, how could they compete with this rain of arrows?
Long Xifeng laughed.
"I want to see which one is faster, the swords of your Royal Guards, or the crossbows of my Iron Buddha!"
The dusk fell heavily, and murderous intent permeated the palace and outside the palace. Everyone had murderous intentions, and everyone had murderous intentions.
Perhaps hearing the noise outside the hall, Xiao Changling, who was standing in the hall, turned his head slightly, and a faint cold light like a rainbow sword energy spurted out from his eyes and hit the faces of the golden armored warriors. superior.
More than twenty forest guards surrounded Xiao Changling. Although they still held knives in their hands, they had long lost their previous murderous aura. They could see clearly that the man was wearing long clothes that looked like pure white snow. Baiyi slowly approaches, and gets closer...
Although Xiao Changling only took a step forward, everyone felt like a towering mountain, pressing down on him; a soul-eating aura spurted out from his body, crushing them directly, It made them all breathless.
"Is loneliness terrible?"
Although the words were low, they contained a sharp meaning that made people shudder.
…
"Clang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the leading forest guards looked at Xiao Changling's cold expression, his face suddenly turned pale, his whole body trembled, his hands uncontrollably let go, and the long knife fell to the ground with a "light sound" "There was a metallic crunching sound; and he stumbled accidentally and fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.
Seeing this situation, everyone was unexpected and looked at each other.
Looking at the long sword that fell on the ground, and looking at the warrior who had long since lost his soul, Xiao Changling smiled contemptuously, slowly squatted down, picked up the imperial long sword, and then stood up. Come.
I saw Xiao Changling holding the knife, placing the smooth and cold back of the knife on the palm of his hand, and lightly clasped his index finger on the knife, which was as clear as snow, making a buzzing sound like the beating of a war drum.
This clear sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shaking the man's heart.
At this moment, Xiao Changling was holding a long sword and staring at the imperial guards with an expression full of perseverance, indifference and cold arrogance.
"Are you afraid of being alone?!" Xiao Changling said calmly and asked with a smile.
The forest warrior, who had been frightened for a long time, could only respond with a trembling voice, "The King of Qin is so powerful that his subordinates are terrified."
Xiao Changling dragged the knife and slowly walked towards the man. The tip of the knife scratched the flawless white ground, making a "squeaking" friction sound. When he got close to the man, Xiao Changling stopped. , holding the handle of the knife with his backhand, staring at the man coldly, and suddenly laughed.
"I have heard it mentioned before that the imperial army is led by the royal guards, serving the emperor and patrolling the capital. I never expected that among the majestic imperial army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there would be such a coward who can't even lift a sword. That's all. Even though I am capable, I also want to take Gu’s life!”
"Your Highness, I forgive you. Your Highness, I forgive you..."
It was too late to say, but it was too soon. In this short moment, Xiao Changling's eyes were filled with coldness, and murderous intent rose between his brows. He gently raised his right hand, and the blade of the long knife followed the outline of the air. , creating a cool breeze.
The domineering sword power was like a sky full of white horses, turning into the sky and the sea, splitting the sky and slashing down.
The wind of the sword sounded, and a swarm of scarlet and dazzling blood arrows followed the man's body and splashed out all over the sky. The gurgling blood was scattered everywhere.
As blood spurted out, the warrior fell into a pool of blood, making no sound.
Large areas of bright red blood stained the corners of Xiao Changling's clothes; the blood dripped slowly down the tip of the knife, and even the hand holding the knife was stained with blood. Dressed in white clothes bathed in blood, it looks like the stamens of a plum blossom, adding a touch of bright red.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, whether it was Gao Yong, the palace commander, or the ordinary guards of the Royal Forest Army. Everyone's face was filled with fear of the man in front of them.
At this moment, Xiao Changyao, who was sitting on the imperial couch, was also in panic. He did not expect that his brother, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, would dare to kill someone in front of him. He suddenly sat up straight, pressed his hands firmly on the tables in front of him, and stared at Xiao Changling below the imperial steps with an incredulous look; however, as an emperor, he was not driven by shock. After too long, his face quickly returned to its previous calmness and majesty.
From the emperor to the imperial guards, they looked at Xiao Changling as if they saw a demonic existence. They did not dare to look into his murderous eyes, nor did they dare to subconsciously approach him.
However, Xiao Changling's eyes did not change at all because of the murder he had just committed and the strange looks from everyone. He still had the usual indifferent expression, as calm as an icy lake, without any trace of tenderness.
Next, Xiao Changling didn't hesitate at all. He glanced coldly at the silent Imperial Guard, then without looking back, he held the bloody knife, letting the blood drip from the blade, and returned calmly. Take your seat and sit down slowly.
After sitting down, Xiao Changling had no expression on his face, as if nothing had happened. He held the knife in his hand like an old broom and "snapped" it gently on the table. Take two shots.
This kind of behavior is just like that of a gangster on the streets, but he is still a nobleman, the noble and majestic King of Qin.
The handsome face, the handsome sword eyebrows, the murderous knife, and the smell of blood on the knife made Xiao Changling look particularly terrifying at this moment, like the Shura God of Death returning from hell.
"Bright" sound.
Xiao Changling frowned slightly, then slammed the knife in his hand that he had just killed on the table.
"Gu said that Gu hates having a knife put to his neck."
The faint words were like flying snow flying all over the sky, and even the air around him was enveloped in coldness and solemnity.
Immediately, Xiao Changling sneered in a deep voice and glanced at the plate of mare's milk grapes in front of him. The rich fruit and crystal color made him greedy.
So Xiao Changling rubbed his hands, picked up the grapes on the plate, and held them in his mouth one after another, eating them happily. At that time, there was still wet blood on Xiao Changling's hands, so the grapes pinched between his fingers, with the blood stains on them, were put into his mouth; after eating, Xiao Changling also sucked them specially He sucked his fingers and licked the thick smell of blood with the tip of his tongue. There was a feeling of unfinished pleasure.
In such a situation, no matter how elegant and honest you are, it will be unbearable to see Xiao Changling's behavior.
In public, the King of Qin, who had great military exploits, beheaded the emperor's guards in front of His Majesty the Emperor. After killing the people, he sat there as if nothing had happened and ate happily, as if he had just shot a rabbit instead of killing someone. Just as easy.
Finally, Gao Yong's face became tense and he couldn't help but yelled sharply.
"King Qin, do you know where this is? This is the Xianyang Palace!"
"so what!"
So what, just four simple words, but blurted out from the cold and affectionate lips of the King of Jingbei, it was like covering the entire Xianyang Palace with layers of icy cold air, for this The quiet and quiet hall brings an endless desolate atmosphere.
"In front of His Majesty, Your Highness dares to kill people with a blade. Your Highness is not afraid of the law of the country?!"
However, the chill on Xiao Changling's body did not diminish at all. He didn't even bother to raise his head, but was extremely indifferent and dropped a rhetorical question that was like a thousand-year-old iceberg, which pierced Gao Yong's heart.
"You come to scold me, isn't it because you are helpless?"
Gao Yong was speechless for a moment.
"Your Highness King Qin, aren't you afraid of the public opinion in the world?"
Until this moment, Xiao Changling slowly raised his head, stared into Gao Yong's eyes, and looked at the Emperor of Zhou on the throne with a proud attitude of a king. His whole person looked very cold and concentrated. Sober.
"How the world's history writes about Gu, you, a warrior, can't see it and can't predict it!"
"You..." Gao Yong's face turned red, and thousands of words were blocked in his chest, unable to be spoken.
Exactly the same as Gao Yong's performance, at this time, although the ruler of the Great Zhou Empire still maintained the majesty of the Lord of the World, a sharp anger had already surged on his face, lingering in his eyes. Between the eyebrows and eyes, a ball of fire gradually formed.
After a long time, Xiao Changling stood up, picked up the Huang Ling Edict, and shook it casually at Xiao Changyao, then showed an elusive and sinister smile, and the firm outline of his lips became increasingly clear. .
"Your Majesty, I accept this edict. You can rest assured that since I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I will naturally perform my duties well. I promise your Majesty that as long as I, Xiao Changling, are here for one day, my 400,000 Jingbei army will , I will definitely live up to His Majesty’s high expectations and protect the Thousand Miles North Territory for Great Zhou.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Changling drifted away. Wherever he could see, no one dared to raise his head or look directly, so he could only lower his head feebly.
In this way, Xiao Changling proudly walked out of Xianyang Hall with a solemn look on his face.
Chisha and proud, because of the strong self-confidence from deep in his heart!
