Tianzi Mountain.
Jiang Ruoting coughed twice, straightened up, raised his face with a light smile, and looked at Jiang Xianfeng, whose face was full of panic.
"I'm curious, can you really pull out that sword?"
"Brother Emperor...I...I..." Jiang Xianfeng was talking incoherently.
In fact, Jiang Xianfeng didn't have a good impression of this second emperor brother who had little contact with him and was usually stoic.
The second emperor brother in my memory was gloomy and cold. He rarely talked to him. He and his sister only said hello and exchanged a few pleasantries when they met each other, but they had no other interactions with him.
Jiang Xianfeng had never seen Jiang Ruoting's smile.
When facing this kind of smile that was specially given to him, and this smile was the smile of his half-brother, he had no experience in facing this kind of smile.
Zhou Ruoxiao stood up suddenly, and Jiang Xianfeng quickly looked at him for help. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place here, and the only one he could rely on was his brother Zhou.
Zhou Ruoxiao ignored Jiang Xianfeng's gaze, just walked up to him expressionlessly and knelt down on one knee.
The tall and burly Zhou Ruoxiao knelt down on one knee, still half a head taller than Jiang Xianfeng.
"Zhou, Brother Zhou, what should I do..." Jiang Xianfeng asked stammering, like a panicked little beast.
"Since the Second Prince wants to see this sword, all you need to do is pull out the sword in your hand, show it to him, and then slide it around his neck." Zhou Ruoxiao narrowed his eyes with a smile and tilted his head. He looked at Jiang Xianfeng and said, "Doesn't it sound very simple?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ruoting raised his smooth and white neck, with undulating veins on it, and said with a smile, "I want to know if a person is still conscious when his head is cut by the Human Emperor's Sword? I hope I can get the answer I want from the New Emperor. .”
"Ah...this...I can't do that!" Jiang Xianfeng stared blankly at Jiang Ruoting's neck, couldn't help but swallowed, and took a step back.
You must know that Jiang Xianfeng has never had blood on his hands, and he usually wouldn't even dare to kill a bug.
Not to mention whether he can pull out the sword now, even asking him to hold the sword to kill people is a fantastic thing, not to mention that the person he is asked to kill is his second brother.
"Oh? How come the new emperor can't do it again? If the human emperor dares not see blood, then the throne in the future will probably be very unstable." Jiang Ruoting sneered, "You know that people like me who care about the throne, this I'm afraid there are so many immortals in Jiuzhou, and if I don't kill chickens to scare the monkeys, I might not be able to convince the public."
Jiang Xianfeng pouted and hesitated, "I didn't want to be the emperor originally. If my sister hadn't asked me to obey Brother Zhou in everything, and Brother Zhou asked me to be the emperor, I wouldn't have wanted to be."
Although Jiang Xianfeng's voice was very low, everyone present was a person of advanced cultivation.
This distance is nothing to them. Even if a mosquito flaps its wings, they can clearly hear the sound.
"You mean, it was Zhou Ruoxiao who asked you to be the emperor?" Jiang Ruoting asked in surprise.
Jiang Ruoting keenly sensed that this might be a breakthrough for a comeback. You must know that the position of the Human Emperor is supreme. If you can arrange people to sit on the position of the Human Emperor as Jiang Ruoting said, let alone the opinions of millions of human beings. , even the ministers alone would not agree.
Jiang Ruoting glanced carefully at Zhi Ge, who was still expressionless.
Logically speaking, the Zhi Ge Holy Monk is firmly on the side of the Jiang royal family. Now that Jiang Xianfeng has pulled out the Human Emperor Sword before him, all he needs to do is get ahead of him and return to Chang'an, relying on the Human Emperor sword in his hand. The sword summons hundreds of officials to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Regarding the contest between Jiang Ruoting and Jiang Xianfeng, Zhi Ge can take a stand or not, but in the face of Zhou Ruoxiao's intervention, Zhi Ge has no reason not to stop it. After all, Zhou Ruoxiao is not a member of the royal family. people.
Zhou Ruoxiao coughed twice and said to Jiang Xianfeng, who was pouting in front of him with an unhappy face, "Since the second prince has repeatedly requested, why doesn't the emperor grant him his request quickly? The sooner we finish the matter, the sooner we can We've returned to Chang'an. I guess I haven't seen you for so many days. The third princess must be bored staying alone in Chang'an. Don't you want to go back and play with her earlier?"
Jiang Xianfeng opened his big eyes, and his eyes were already moist.
Yes, he hasn't seen his sister for a long time, and he doesn't know how she is living alone in Chang'an. It seems that he rarely sees his sister playing with other people, and usually stays with him all day long. She doesn't know how she spends one boring day after another since he has been out for so many days.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xianfeng suddenly found that the surroundings were very quiet. Only then did he realize that his right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword, but the hilt no longer felt cold to the touch, but felt very moist, but not slippery. .
He could feel his heart beating rapidly. He did not look up at Jiang Ruoting, who was kneeling on the ground. He just lowered his head and looked at the knees kneeling on the ground.
"My sister asked me to do this. I can't let her down. I have to listen to my sister." Jiang Xianfeng kept cheering himself up in his heart. Although his steps were slow, he was firm and steady.
In just five steps, Jiang Xianfeng bypassed Zhou Ruoxiao and came to Jiang Ruoting.
Jiang Ruoting's eyes did not change as he stared at the naughty boy in front of him who he once regarded as an incompetent boy. Now he has become the new emperor. No, he is not the emperor yet, just a fourth prince.
A thunderstorm seemed to explode in Jiang Ruoting's mind. He stared closely at the Human Emperor Sword in Jiang Xianfeng's hand and slowly stood up. His originally handsome face was now distorted.
"I...I am the real Emperor of the People...I...I want to get my sword back. You are not worthy...you are just an insidious villain..."
Jiang Ruoting's trembling hands slowly but firmly reached for the Human Emperor Sword at Jiang Xianfeng's waist.
Jiang Xianfeng raised his head and looked at Jiang Ruoting in horror, trying to cover the long sword at his waist with his small hands.
Zhou Ruoxiao on the side smiled when he saw this, condensing his inner strength in his hands, but he was not in a hurry to take action.
Zhi Ge took a few deep breaths and looked at Jiang Ruoting's slightly crazy back with extremely anxious eyes.
He could tell at a glance that something was obviously wrong with Jiang Ruoting at this moment, and he was already possessed.
He could also tell that Zhou Ruoxiao, who was still watching the show and not taking any action, wanted to wait for Jiang Ruoting to take action against Jiang Xianfeng. Then he would have enough reason to kill Jiang Ruoting directly. In this way, he could better silence the ministers at the foot of the mountain and smoothly shift all the blame to Jiang Ruoting. After all, it was Jiang Xianfeng who got the Human Emperor Sword.
Boom
Jiang Xianfeng sat down on the ground, and the Human Emperor Sword on his body had been pulled off the belt by Jiang Ruoting.
Jiang Xianfeng tried in vain to snatch the Human Emperor Sword back from Jiang Ruoting's hands with his small hands.
Jiang Ruoting impatiently slapped away the little hand that had been dangling in front of his eyes.

The huge force directly broke several of Jiang Xianfeng's young finger bones.
The intense pain caused Jiang Xianfeng to curl up in a ball on the ground, gasping for cold air. Tears rolled down his fleshy face like broken beads.
"It hurts so much! Sister, sister! My hand... hurts so much!" Jiang Xianfeng stared at his hand, whimpering and crying.
The purple and twisted fingers are no longer as round as before.
Growing up, he had only been beaten once by anyone except his sister.
I remember that when he was very young, a prince from Chang'an met Jiang Xianfeng and Jiang Zhiyuan wandering on the street after being drunk.
This prince was also born in the military. He was very strong, and with the help of his drunkenness, he actually killed several guards around Jiang Xianfeng and Jiang Zhiyuan in the street, and then captured the young Jiang Xianfeng and wanted to Thrown him to death alive.
To this day, he can still remember the despair and fear in his heart when he was choked by that big hand and held up in the air, looking at the drunken face of the prince and the blood-stained ground.
He couldn't cry out as he was being strangled. He could only watch himself getting closer and closer to the cold ground. He could even see the dull expressions on the faces of the guards who died beside him.
The expected scene of his brain blooming did not appear. The big hand with terrifying power suddenly released its control on him in mid-air. He fell heavily to the ground, his butt almost broke into eight pieces, and his whole body seemed to fall apart. Similar.
Boom, boom, boom
Jiang Xianfeng, who was lying on his side, could hear a series of dull sounds like beating something coming from behind him, and from time to time he could hear a sobbing female voice.
He always felt that the voice was very familiar, so he struggled to turn over, and finally saw the familiar back.
Later, Yan Mo led the Yan Guards to execute the prince in the street. Emperor Jiang was furious and ordered the entire palace to be sealed. All the relatives in the palace were sent to the border areas, and four hundred guards were given to protect the three princesses and the fourth prince day and night. Safety.
Later, Jiang Xianfeng didn't see his sister for a long time. He would hang out in front of her house every day, but he was stopped by the guards at the door who told him that his sister was sick and didn't want to see him.
When he saw Jiang Zhiyuan again, Jiang Zhiyuan had already started practicing martial arts. He didn't ask her the reason for practicing martial arts. He just applied medicine and water to her when she was injured and tired.
On the first day he entered the school, Jiang Zhiyuan followed him and beat up all the powerful children in the school, and threatened that as long as her brother was bullied a little bit, she would beat them all again.
For a long time after this, the powerful disciples treated Jiang Xianfeng with utmost respect and did not dare to act arrogantly.
Until one time Jiang Xianfeng was beaten by his sister again. He looked up with his bruised and swollen face and asked his sister with a pair of resentful little eyes why he wanted to learn martial arts and if he wanted to beat him more painfully.
Jiang Zhiyuan sat on the ridge of the palace, looking at the sunset in the distance, and said softly, "I'm afraid that someone powerful will beat you up in the future, so that I won't have the chance to attack you. My brother can only be beaten by me, but I can't Give someone a beating.”
"Sister, someone beat me, where are you... I miss you..." Jiang Xianfeng choked with trembling voice and closed his eyes in pain.
Zhou Ruoxiao ignored Jiang Xianfeng on the ground and strode towards Jiang Xianfeng.
"Assaulting the would-be Human Emperor and snatching the Human Emperor's sword is a capital crime, my second prince."
Jiang Ruoting seemed to be immersed in his own world, paying no attention to Zhou Ruoxiao's words.
Jiang Ruoting's eyes wandered over the Human Emperor Sword in his hand, and he slowly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand. The veins on the back of his hand popped out, as if he wanted to pull out the sword.
Zhou Ruoxiao's expression changed when he saw this, he stepped forward and punched.
"The second prince's sins are heinous, I'm offended!"
boom
Zhou Ruoxiao had just taken half a step when he was stopped by Zhi Ge Shengsheng.
"This villain attacked the new emperor. Why did the holy monk Zhi Ge stop me from killing him?"
"Huh, if you are guilty or not, let me hand it over to Dali Temple for trial. Please don't let King Xiaoyao do anything for you."
The two of them were fighting each other, but their eyes never moved away from the Human Emperor Sword in Jiang Ruoting's hand for a moment.
Zhou Ruoxiao didn't understand why Zhige wanted to stop him at this time. Someone had already pulled out the Human Emperor Sword and recognized its owner, so it was impossible for another person to pull it out on his own.
What's more, this Human Emperor Sword is spiritual...

The Human Emperor Sword showed half of its edge in Jiang Ruoting's hand. Under the sun, the blade reflected the sunlight and shone on his face, and he smiled.
