"Do you think I want to kill you?" Zhou Ruoxiao said with a smile.
Lei Yin and Quan Xian both stared closely at Zhou Ruoxiao's face, feeling a trace of panic that they had not seen for a long time.
Although they all knew each other during the Human-Monster War, at that time Zhou Ruoxiao was still a young general who followed Jiang Nanchu.
As the four guards in charge of Emperor Meng's Seal, the four of them have always been the holders of the highest honor in the entire army.
The brilliance of Zhou Ruoxiao, Wang Daofan and others was extremely bright even if Jiang Nanchu was covering them up.
At the beginning, Emperor Meng once said to Jiang Nanchu in front of countless soldiers, all the generals under your command can be as strong as a hundred warriors, and your army alone is enough to resist a demon king!
At that time, Jiang Nanchu already had a group of powerful subordinates such as Wang Daofan, Zhou Ruoxiao, Yan Mo, and Liang Chuang.
With the support of these powerful men, coupled with the fact that Jiang Nanchu led the army to continuously win victories on local battlefields, it delayed the demon clan's large-scale attacks to a certain extent. This allowed Jiang Nanchu's prestige in the army to continue to rise, so that in the end He became the first person in the army under Emperor Meng. Even after the death of Yongzhou Prefecture, Emperor Meng appointed Jiang Nanchu as Yongzhou Prefecture.
As Emperor Meng's prestige continued to increase, Zhou Ruoxiao and others under him naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
It was during that time that the four guards began to observe Zhou Ruoxiao seriously for the first time, but at that time they only thought that Zhou Ruoxiao was just a general who knew how to fight. If they had been told at that time, Zhou Ruoxiao would become the successor to Emperor Meng Jiang. They will never believe the new emperor after the emperor.
Because at that time, whether it was Jiang Huang's subordinates Wang Daofan, Liang Chuang, and other generals with more seniority and more merits, or other eight state governors, or even Master Kuhai and the martial arts warriors he led, there were countless people who were better than Zhou Ruoxiao. A stronger, more suitable candidate.
In fact, although after the death of Emperor Meng, those who originally belonged to Emperor Meng's guard have become ordinary people, but they are still paying attention to the changes in the current situation silently, even though they can actually do it with their own strength and the strength they have created with their own hands. Keep to yourself.
"To be honest, I really admire you!" Lei Yin sighed and said slowly, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you have changed a lot!"
Zhou Ruoxiao calmed down his momentum slightly and said curiously, "How should I put it? I would really like to hear what Meng Huang's seal guard, who was famous in the army, said about me. You must know that this is very important to any soldier. Say, it’s all a supreme honor!”
"Back then, you were able to snatch the position of Human Emperor from countless people, which was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. Even we who are far away in Yuzhou were shocked by your achievements." Lei Yin looked at Zhou Ruoxiao's face and said, He said slowly, "Your courage is still the same as when you fought to the death with the demon clan on the battlefield, but your murderous intention is getting stronger and stronger!"
A smile appeared on Zhou Ruoxiao's face, "Killing intention? I haven't killed anyone with my own hands for a long time! I don't know if I can still hold a knife on the battlefield now!"
"As long as you don't let go of the knife in your heart, you will always be able to hold the knife in your hand!" Quan Xian said coldly.
"You two have come a long way, why don't you come and sit in my palace. I'll make you two a pot of good tea, and we can sit down and reminisce about old times." Zhou Ruoxiao suddenly invited.
Lei Yin and Quan Xian both shook their heads. If they entered the palace, they would
You really have to be at the mercy of others, and there is no chance of struggle anymore.
"If you have any other advice from Emperor Zhou, just tell me here. My old lady is still in a hurry to go home and collect her clothes!" Quan Xian said.
"If there is nothing else, please don't embarrass us, Mr. Zhou Huang. The two of us still have things to deal with, so let's say goodbye!" Lei Yin turned around and was about to pull Quan Xian away.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Lei Yin and Quan Xian were getting up, Zhou Ruoxiao suddenly stopped them.
"Have you two heard of the case committed by the eldest prince back then?" Zhou Ruoxiao looked at the two of them meaningfully and asked.
Lei Yin and Quan Xian looked at each other, and they already knew Zhou Ruoxiao's meaning in their eyes.
The eldest prince at that time, Jiang Fengqing, had always been the first heir to the throne of Emperor Jiang. Whether it was his martial arts talent or his conduct and morality, he was highly praised by civil and military officials.
As a result, after the death of Emperor Jiang, a shocking case suddenly broke out. The eldest prince actually entered the Fengyue place during the funeral, and was accused of indecent assault by a disheveled woman in full view of the public.
Such corruption of etiquette and loss of ethics was exposed, causing uproar in the city. The people were extremely disappointed with the eldest prince. In the end, Prime Minister Wang Daofan personally made the final decision, stripped the eldest prince of his title, and sent someone from Dali Temple to send him to Yumen Pass.
When this incident came out, it caused turmoil in Kyushu. Lei Yinquanxian and others were filled with emotion after hearing it.
"The case was full of doubts at that time, but the old prime minister and the Minister of Dali Temple forcibly suppressed all doubts. Even the old man of the Huo family ran around and shouted, but it was of no avail. It's a pity that the eldest prince was unjustly imprisoned and had no chance to defend himself." Lei Yin sighed.
"If you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate." Quan Xian continued, "In my opinion, the crime of the eldest prince is simply someone who forced him to put it on him. Under power, you are saying that a sheep has the intention of swallowing a tiger. , there is no reason for others not to believe it!”
Zhou Ruoxiao said with a smile, "So, let me think about it today, what kind of charge should I put on you? It would be best if it is a charge that can be directly punished by death!"
Lei Yin immediately jumped up, his whole body bursting with terrifying aura, and the internal energy flowing like rivers and lakes in the seemingly weak and aging body.
Lei Yin glared at Zhou Ruoxiao and said, "In my opinion, you'd better charge us with rebellion, so that our four sects of Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang in the world can be reborn again and call on all the martial arts warriors in Yuzhou to fight against your million-dollar sect." Army!"
"Our four major sects may not be the opponent of your million-strong army, but it will definitely not be so easy for you to step into Yuzhou!" Quan Xian also said angrily, and the aura exuding from his body was not weaker than Lei Yin.
Facing the menacing looks of Lei Yin and Quan Xian, Zhou Ruoxiao showed no fear at all. Instead, he looked at him calmly and said, "Actually, there is no need for us to go to such a tense stage!"
"Is there a possibility that you had murderous intentions towards us first?" Lei Yin said angrily.
"I had murderous intentions towards you first?" Zhou Ruoxiao seemed to have heard a very funny joke and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Zhou Ruoxiao laughing endlessly, Lei Yin and Quan Xian couldn't help but darken their faces.
"You two don't think you can hide it from me when you bring Emperor Meng's Seal into Chang'an City, do you? It's so ridiculous!" Zhou Ruoxiao stopped laughing and looked at the two of them for a moment, "Meng Huang's
Breath is really synonymous with power. Even after so many years, it is still awe-inspiring and unforgettable! "
Lei Yin and Quan Xian were both stunned, suddenly feeling extremely stressed.
The two of them did bring the most precious treasure, the Menghuang Seal, which they had guarded for many years. This was the result of discussions between the four elders of their sects for three days and three nights, and they also planned and prepared for three months. Unfortunately, the follow-up plan has not yet been implemented. , and was caught by Zhou Ruoxiao.
"You two old guys are the only ones from the four sects here. Are you looking down on me? Or do you think that relying on this Emperor Meng's Seal is enough to take my life in Chang'an City? You seal-protecting guards were indeed unparalleled back then. It's a pity that Time is not forgiving, I estimate that you have very little strength left now. If you want to force this treasure to kill people, I'm afraid you will get killed if you are not careful!" Zhou Ruoxiao said with a hint of emotion. He said sarcastically, "Aren't you surprised that even though you have made all preparations to cover up the aura of Meng Huangyin, I still discovered the traces?"
Both of them shook their heads, with confusion in their eyes.
You must know that in order to cover up the aura of Meng Huang's Seal, the four sects gathered the strength of all sects, spent a lot of resources and manpower, and used several powerful formations to seal the aura, just to make Lei Yin and Quan Xian silent. Xidi took Meng Huangyin into Chang'an City.
Zhou Ruoxiao put his hands on the table, stared at the two of them and said, "The formations used by the four Xuanhuang sects of your world are indeed powerful. Even the Chang'an city defense formation could not detect that you two were carrying the Menghuang seal.
However, formations are dead objects and will have flaws and shortcomings, so the role of humans comes into play at this time! "
"Could it be that you are one of our four sects?" Lei Yin suddenly understood. This made sense why he was caught by Zhou Ruoxiao not long after he entered Chang'an City.
"Haha, now that you know everything, what do you want to do?" Quan Xian said while giving Lei Yin a look without leaving any trace.
Zhou Ruoxiao smiled and said, "I want to know why you four sects are targeting me?"
Quan Xian said slowly, "Every war launched will bring unspeakable suffering and losses to the people. Kyushu finally regained peace. You should not have started this war!"
"Is it because of this?" Zhou Ruoxiao looked surprised in disbelief.
Lei Yin said fiercely, "As a human emperor, don't you even have a little compassion? Do you know how many people will die in this war? Do you know how many people will live a homeless life? ? Do you know how many originally happy families will be broken up because of this?"
Zhou Ruoxiao just listened silently, with a meaningful smile always on his face.
When Lei Yin finally finished speaking, Zhou Ruoxiao smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Lei Yin and Quan Xian were both stunned. They did not expect Zhou Ruoxiao to say such words.
"I am the Human Emperor. Those untouchables in the world can do something useful to me. That is their blessing!" Zhou Ruoxiao slowly sat back in his seat and stared at Lei Yin with bright eyes. Quan saw the two of them. , "Are you almost ready? When you are, let me send you on your way!"
Lei Yin and Quan Xian looked at each other, their eyes showing determination.
The next moment, their palms shook, and a small square seal appeared in their hands at the same time.
