These ten men worked for three days and three nights to bury the entire village. During these three days, they wiped away their tears, hid their sorrow, and silently completed what they had to do. , they embarked on the road to the imperial capital, which was a road of revenge, although the end of the road was a bottomless abyss.
Cetian Pavilion is a place where the three princes recruit talents. The prince assists the emperor in government affairs and is allowed to recruit talents from among the people. At this time in the Cetian Pavilion, the third prince patted Xu Yuanliang's shoulder with a smile and said: "I am very happy that you are willing to come. From now on, your hatred will be my hatred, and your life's glory will also depend on it." To me alone.”
"Where are Chunxiang, mother and son now?" Xu Yuanliang asked coldly with no expression on his face.
The third prince's smile froze slightly, and after a few seconds he whispered in Xu Yuanliang's ear: "Their mother and son are imprisoned in the sky prison. I can't save them unless my father dies, so you have to hurry up! I can't be sure about them either." How long can I last?"
A week later, the third prince invited the emperor to admire the sword in the back garden in the name of finding a peerless swordsman. Because the swordsman called him "Sword in the Water", the swordsmanship demonstration needed to be held in the pond, and the best place to watch it was in the pond. Naturally, it’s the Flying Rainbow Bridge.
The emperor did not doubt the deception and readily accepted it. Although he had never practiced martial arts, he was very interested in the world's masters. One of his favorite hobbies in his life was to watch the duels between top masters.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the center of the bridge, with two guards and a eunuch standing behind him. There was no one else except the third prince standing aside.
A man in white floated over, stopped half a meter above the water, knelt down on one knee in the air and saluted, "A common man, Xu Chuang, pays homage to Your Majesty."
"Are you the Water Sword?" The emperor's voice was loud and he seemed to be in good health.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and the sword in the water is indeed the nickname of the common people."
"It is said that the sword in the water is invincible when it enters the water. I am going to be able to feast my eyes on it today."
"That's just a joke made by fellow Taoists, and it can't be taken seriously. However, it's true that the sword in the hands of the common people has never met an opponent in the water."
Anyone who hears this sentence will feel that Shuilijian is extremely conceited and almost arrogant.
However, the emperor seemed to like this kind of unruly monk. He laughed and said, "It's boring for you to dance the sword alone. Why don't you let the guards around me fight with you? This way you can better demonstrate your abilities, okay?"
Shuilijian smiled faintly: "Your Majesty has an edict, don't dare to disobey it!"
In a bush a hundred meters away from Feitian Hongqiao, Xu Yuanliang and Chen Bingui were hiding in it. Xu Yuanliang was holding one end of a rope tightly in his hand, his expression was serious and he could not breathe steadily.
In the past few days, they have installed mechanisms in the bridge in the name of the imperfections of the Feitianhong Bridge. As long as Xu Yuanliang gently pulls the rope in his hand, flying arrows will shoot at the emperor from under the Feitianhong Bridge. This kind of mortal method is very effective. Even the great monks could hardly detect it before it was activated. After all, there was no spiritual power fluctuation. As for whether it can succeed after being activated, it is a 50-50 number.
A man came out of the guards behind the emperor. He had a resolute face, looked to be in his thirties, and had a strong build. He used a palace guard standard broadsword.
The Water Sword is known as the invincible sword in the world. Naturally, he looked down on just any guard. He smiled contemptuously and said: "If it were elsewhere, you might be able to hold on, but in this pool , defeating you only takes place in the blink of an eye.”
The guard didn't react at all. He came to Shuilijian coldly and slowly pulled out the sword.
Xu Yuanliang's hands were shaking in a nervous state. Chen Bingui behind him urged: "It's almost Yuanliang, the best time will be when they fight each other."
Chen Bingui was right. There were only two guards around the emperor, and one of them faced the Shuilijian, so there was only one left. At the beginning of the battle, everyone's attention must be on the pool. At this time, the engine is turned off. As long as the guards react a little slower than normal, the emperor will definitely have no chance of escaping from such a close distance.
Xu Yuanliang glanced at Chen Bingui with disgust, "Do you think I don't know anything?"
Chen Bingui was shocked and pretended to be innocent: "Yuanliang, what do you know?"
"Hmph! It must be the third prince who killed the whole village!" After enduring it for so long, Xu Yuanliang was really unwilling to endure Chen Bingui's ugly face any longer. At this time, except for the rope in his hand, everything It doesn't matter anymore.
"Yuanliang, what are you talking about?" Chen Bingui denied.
"Am I talking nonsense? Haha, you have been the third prince's lackey for a long time, right? You are the chess piece that the third prince placed beside me to persuade me to surrender to him. Your family has been moved to a safe place long ago. I can tell you. Right?" Xu Yuanliang's tone was extremely cold, but there was no room for doubt.
"When...did you know that?"
"In the village, when I couldn't find Chunxiang's mother and son, you were very sure that the emperor had captured Chunxiang, and you tried your best to persuade me to return to the imperial capital and join the third prince. Haha, why are you so sure? Because those were the things you had done earlier Just think of the right words!"
Xu Yuanliang sneered and said: "When everyone was holding the bodies of their family members and crying bitterly, you had time to come to me. Later, when the whole village was buried, I also noticed that there were no family members of yours at all. Also, The footprints in everyone's yard are messy, but your yard is neat and orderly, which shows that they left under safe conditions instead of being invaded and killed by a large number of officers and soldiers like others. Chen Bingui, it was you who took Chunxiang away The relationship between mother and son should be told to the third prince, why are you doing this? Is it just for money? That would cost nearly a thousand lives in the whole village!"
Chen Bingui held the dagger tightly in his hand and hid it behind his back. He couldn't do anything at this time. After all, the rope was in Xu Yuanliang's hand. He snorted coldly: "Why did I do this? It's for money, not just for money. I've been here before After the imperial capital, I no longer want to live in a place like Muke Village, even for one day. There is nothing wrong with giving up the official position given by the emperor. We all know that he is pretentious, but why did you reject the third prince? You knew that we were going back After that, as long as the emperor has a thought, we will all die, and relying on the third prince is the only way out. If you want to die, I don’t want to. I not only want to live, but also live well! If I could, I wouldn’t let the whole village Everyone is dead, but if they don’t die, the third prince feels that it cannot arouse your anger towards the emperor. Wasn’t it you who killed them? "
"Chen Bingui, you beast!" Xu Yuanliang's voice was so cold that it made Chen Bingui's actions to defend himself look so ridiculous.
Chen Bingui was hesitating whether to take action or not. Xu Yuanliang's body trembled. He raised his head and followed Xu Yuanliang's gaze, and suddenly found several figures on the eaves in the distance.
It's Chunxiang mother and son!
The two people with their faces covered were holding large knives in their hands, and the blade almost touched Chunxiang's neck. Xiao Dunzi was just held in Chunxiang's arms, and the mouths of both mother and son were gagged with cloth, making them unable to make a sound.
Xu Yuanliang's hatred surged. At this moment, he was even more sure that it was not the old emperor who captured the two mother and son, but the ruthless third prince!
The third prince was worried that he would not be able to make a move at the critical moment, so he threatened the lives of Chunxiang, mother and son. Xu Yuanliang tightened the rope in his hand. That was the life of Chunxiang, mother and son!
How could he not know that the ending between him and Chunxiang mother and son can only be separated by yin and yang. Even if he succeeded in assassinating the emperor, the third prince would definitely not let him go.
Xu Yuanliang sneered, "Chen Bingui, do you think we can survive? Even if it is you, the third prince will definitely get rid of you after the incident. You are the witness of his assassination of the emperor!"
At this moment, neither the guards nor Shuilijian wanted to take action first. After a stalemate for a while, Shuilijian didn't want to wait any longer and gave a low drink. The pond suddenly splashed as if a bomb had been installed. When the water fell, a sword with powerful spiritual power rushed straight towards the guard's door.
The guard remained expressionless, as if he had never moved. The sword made a "clang" sound and was split into two parts. One part flew into the sky, and the other part plunged straight into the bottom of the pool.
Xu Yuanliang was completely stunned. It was only then that he came back to his senses. Having missed the best opportunity, he looked in the direction of Chunxiang and his son in horror.
At this sight, his whole world was about to collapse.
