Although Chunxiang couldn't see Xu Yuanliang, she was also a smart woman. She knew that these people must be using her to threaten this man who was not destined to be together. What could she do at this time? I can’t even shout!
No! There was one more thing she could do. She touched her son's face one last time, then rubbed her neck hard against the blade of the knife...
What Xu Yuanliang saw was the moment when Chunxiang wiped her neck.
"Chunxiang!" Xu Yuanliang's mind went blank. He could see nothing except Chunxiang in the distance. He yelled and stood up, tears welling up in his eyes.
At this time, Shuilijian was panicking. He was easily defeated by the opponent with a full blow. Even the sword was useless. He was still embarrassed! He regretted that he had underestimated the strength of the emperor's side, let alone boasted about the benefits promised by the third prince.
If the third prince could achieve this, he would never bet everything on Xu Yuanliang, a carpenter. This sword in the water is his second killing move.
The emperor has been recruiting strong men from all over the world all year round, and there are many masters under his command. It is extremely difficult for the third prince to compete with the emperor in this regard. This has always been a headache for him. Using the carpenter's ingenious mechanism design was his strategy to circumvent this shortcoming. As a double insurance, the water sword is quite capable, but unfortunately the emperor is not simple, and even the third prince did not estimate the protective power of his father.
Shuilijian had just escaped less than fifty meters away when he was struck down with a big knife. His body, which was intact, was immediately split into two, and the flesh and blood spilled into the pond. It was so disgusting.
Chen Bingui was startled by Xu Yuanliang's sudden move. He couldn't control it so much. As soon as the emperor died, he would become the biggest contributor to helping the third prince ascend to the throne, at least that's what he thought. He immediately went to pull the rope that Xu Yuanliang threw to the ground. Although they were exposed, they might not have any chance at all.
"Ah——" At this moment, Xu Yuanliang roared, and terrifying spiritual power burst out from his body, directly sending Chen Bingui flying away from his feet. Chen Bingui was just a mortal. His body violently hit the stone mountain in the garden, knocking down a large boulder, and his head was no longer intact.
Using the relationship between Xu Yuanliang and Chunxiang as a testimonial, and using the lives of the entire village as a stepping stone, Chen Bingui's death was not unjust at all.
Xu Yuanliang didn't seem to care at all about Chen Bingui's death. At this moment, all his attention was on Chunxiang. He didn't know where he got the strength, and with one breath he reached the roof where Chunxiang and her son were.
Naturally, the commotion caused by Xu Yuanliang's side could not escape the emperor's attention, but for the next scene, Xu Yuanliang's side was not even worthy of the emperor's attention. Because, a figure appeared in the sky.
"Oh? The old devil of no morals?" The emperor smiled coldly, "Third brother, I never expected that you would collude with this big devil. I underestimated your willingness to risk everything."
"Father!" The third prince knelt down and said with tears: "Father, it's not me! It's really not me! It's the fourth brother, it must be the fourth brother!"
The emperor didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly and ignored the third prince.
"No way! What kind of benefits did I, the rebellious son, promise you, so that I can win over you?"
"Hahaha - your good son is much more generous than you, but he gave me a tenth of the territory of Yuansheng Empire! As long as you die in my hands, I can choose at will within the fiefdom from now on Delicious food, hahaha, I can’t wait just thinking about it!”
The old devil Wu Dao is the most notorious big devil in the Yuansheng Empire. The magic he practices requires devouring human flesh, and he himself is also good at it, so he has long been a nightmare for the people of the Yuansheng Empire. The emperor sent many batches of strong men to jointly strangle him, but he escaped many times. When it comes to fighting alone, perhaps no one in the entire empire is a match for this ruthless old devil.
If the first two methods had not failed, the third prince would definitely not have used the old devil Wu Dao to take action. After all, the price was too high. It's not just a matter of one-tenth of the country, but by doing this, even if he succeeds in ascending to the throne and successfully covers up the crime of patricide and rebellion, he will not be able to win the hearts of the people in the end.
As long as you take this step, there is no reason to look back. If the emperor does not die today, his third prince will die. Therefore, the card of the Wudao Old Demon is still played.
"Although I am surprised by your appearance, since you are here, don't leave!" The emperor smiled arrogantly, and four figures immediately appeared, surrounding the old demon Wu Dao.
With the appearance of the four people, the third prince's expression changed from fear to nervousness. The fear was feigned, but the nervousness at this moment was real.
The Wudao Old Demon is indeed powerful, but he is not invincible in the Yuansheng Empire, otherwise why would he hide. The four people surrounding him now are each just a slightly weaker monk than him. With the four of them joining forces, it is very likely that they will kill him.
"How come the four of you appeared in the palace at the same time?" Wudao Laomo didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this.
"Wudao, you can't escape today!" one of them shouted sternly.
Although the old devil Wu Dao was stunned, he did not panic at all. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"I will double the reward you promised me!"
Double?
The old devil Wu Dao looked at the third prince and said this. As a result, the third prince had no choice but to deny it. He secretly cursed the old devil in his heart for being unreasonable and raising prices, and blamed him for being too brainless to expose him at this time, but what can he do now that the matter has come to this?
The emperor burst into laughter, "Okay! I have agreed to help this traitorous son. However, you must kill me first!"
The old demon Wu Dao frowned, stopped blabbering, and immediately started fighting with the four of them.
The emperor turned to look at the third prince who was kneeling on the ground, "Third son, you don't need to pretend anymore. I haven't killed you for so long, not because I can't be sure whether you did it, but because I still have feelings for you." A hint of father-son affection. You are my smartest child, and I really don’t want you to die!"
The emperor's tone gradually became slumped and weak, which was a father's deep despair for his child. He even changed his self-identification from "I" to "I", which shows that at this moment he is not an emperor but an ordinary father.
The third prince was indeed very smart. He felt something from the emperor's tone, especially the one who had never called himself "I" before. He has never admitted that he was responsible for this assassination, and even pretended to kneel next to the emperor, not because he hoped to get a chance of survival after his failed plot to kill his father, but because he needed to stay close to the emperor.
A dagger appeared in the hands of the third prince, and with a sudden cold light, it stabbed the emperor's abdomen.
At this time, there was a guard behind the emperor. It was almost impossible to assassinate the emperor in front of the guard with the untrained body of the third prince, but he did it for one reason, that is, the guard would not stop him at all. action.
This guard was bribed by the third prince, and the bottom line was not to let him take action against the emperor. The guard who killed Shuilijian rushed back to the savior immediately, but was blocked by the guard bribed by the third prince, and the two guards immediately fought together.
At this point, the third prince was surprised to discover a fact, but it was too late.
He raised his head tremblingly, his face was pale, his lips were trembling slightly, and the father in front of him seemed to be the strangest person in the world.
"Lao San, I have been practicing secretly for so many years, and I never thought that I would be exposed because you wanted to kill me!" The emperor smiled bitterly. He was holding a dagger in his hand, but he would not be hurt by the sharp dagger.
The emperor patted his son gently, and the third prince flew several meters away like a kite with a broken string. He vomited a mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground.
The emperor was extremely unhappy. He needed to vent and have a fight. So, he flew into the battle circle between the four strong men and the old demon Wu Dao, and took action for the first time in full view of the public.
Xu Yuanliang put down Chunxiang's gradually cold body and said to Xiaodunzi: "Xiaodunzi, you must become a powerful person when you grow up. Don't be like Uncle Yuanliang, who can't even protect his own woman."
"Uncle Yuanliang, where are you going?" Xiao Dunzi wiped away his tears. He could feel that Xu Yuanliang was going to do something.
"I have just planted a seed in you. When you grow up, work hard, and one day this seed will grow into a towering tree. Eight uncles in the village are waiting for you. I will send you out of the palace. .”
