Chapter 233 Tai Chi Peace in the World
Chapter 233 Tai Chi Peace in the World
"You bastard eunuch, what nonsense are you talking about. Back then, Uncle Prince of Langya called out my father's name in front of everyone in the palace. How could there be any coercion? If it was really coercion, why did you five eunuchs sit there and do nothing?" Xiao Chong said angrily.
Emperor Mingde called out softly, "Don't worry, Chong'er, let him continue."
"The Dragon Seal Scroll is here now. It has the seal of the Jade Seal. It was written by the late emperor himself. How could it be fake?" Zhuoxin said solemnly, "We, the five great supervisors, have received the late emperor's great grace. Today, we must restore the innocence of the world."
Jin Yan, who was holding Zhuo Xin's horse, held up a scroll and said loudly, "I have a letter signed by hundreds of officials, expressing our willingness to support the great rule and restore the government."
"Be on guard." Ye Xiaoying shouted loudly, as if responding to Zhuoxin and Jinyan's words.
The Langya army stood up instantly, with fierce looks on their faces, as if they were ready to massacre the palace wall with blood at any time.
You can succeed to the throne naturally, or you can change the dynasty with bloodshed.
Perhaps some people would care about the difference, but Ye Xiaoying didn't mind at all. As long as there was the slightest abnormality, he would lead his troops forward and clear all obstacles.
"Father-in-law." A faint voice suddenly sounded.
Zhuoxin turned his head and looked at Xiao Lingchen who was not far away. He was the current Langya King who looked 80% like Xiao Ruofeng, and the real Datong in his mouth. He bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, Langya King."
"Father-in-law, are you here to help me ascend to the throne?" Xiao Lingchen asked.
"That's right." Eunuch Zhuoxin raised his head and said, "The Dragon Seal Scroll is here. I hope His Royal Highness Prince Langya will personally announce who is the true leader of the Xiao family and the true master of Beili."
Xiao Lingchen nodded, turned his horse and looked at the crowd: "Gentlemen, would you like me to open this scroll?"
"May His Royal Highness the Prince of Langya personally open the Dragon Seal Scroll!" the soldiers shouted.
"My lords, do you wish for me to ascend the throne and be called Emperor Beili?" Xiao Lingchen asked again.
The soldiers shouted again: "May His Royal Highness Prince Langya take the throne immediately and be crowned Emperor Beili!"
"Commendations, to whom do you pledge your allegiance, the flag of the Langya Army or the imperial flag of the Beili Army?" Xiao Lingchen asked the third time.
This time, there was no mountain-like shouting response, because the soldiers were also in hesitation. They didn't even know what Xiao Lingchen meant by asking.
Even the expressions of Emperor Mingde, Ye Xiaoying and others showed a hint of subtle surprise.
Xiao Lingchen suddenly laughed, turned around and looked at Zhuoxin: "Three eunuchs, would you like Lingchen to come here in person to greet you?"
Zhuoxin presented the Dragon Seal Scroll with both hands: "Your Highness, please."
As long as Xiao Lingchen took the Dragon Seal Scroll, as long as he read out his father's name, then what happened today would be irreversible.
Xiao Lingchen will succeed to the throne, and they, relying on their merits and Ye Xiaoying's promise, will also be able to escape from the imperial mausoleum.
"Your Highness, please come in!" The two eunuchs Zhuosen and Zhuoluo also bowed at the same time.
Xiao Lingchen rode forward, handed the spear in his hand to his personal guard, and then gently took the Dragon Seal Scroll from Zhuoxin.
The three old eunuchs sneered, Ye Xiaoying's eyes gleamed brightly, Emperor Mingde slowly closed his eyes, and Xiao Chong clenched the sword in his hand.
Xiao Se still had a calm expression, as if he was not surprised or concerned about what was happening before him.
Xiao Lingchen slowly opened the scroll, glanced at it but did not read aloud. Instead, he casually threw the Dragon Seal Scroll into the air. In full view of everyone and in the surprised gazes of everyone, he swung out a palm force and smashed it into pieces.
"My Xiao royal family has been through forty years of war and founded the country. We have gone through six dynasties and have been passed down for 123 years. Our national fortune is prosperous and all nations pay homage to us. How can I allow a eunuch like you to decide the succession of my Xiao royal family!" Xiao Lingchen sat upright on his horse, holding a spear in his hand, looked at Zhuoxin and shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire palace wall.
In front of the Pingqing Palace, it suddenly became quiet. Emperor Mingde opened his eyes, Ye Xiaoying frowned, and everyone's expression became intriguing at that moment.
Although Zhuoxin did not think much about the deeper meaning of Xiao Lingchen's words, he could confirm one thing: this was different from what they had planned. Xiao Lingchen destroyed the Dragon Seal Scroll and had no intention of succeeding to the throne.
After years of planning, everything came to nothing. Now that things have come to this, what should we do?
Just when Zhuoxin was distracted, Xiao Lingchen stretched out his foot and picked up the spear held by his personal guard. Then he jumped into the air and the spear shot out like a dragon, piercing Zhuoxin's chest.
Zhuoxin never expected that Xiao Lingchen would do such a thing. The distance between them was very close, and he was not careful for a moment. He was stabbed by the gun and fell off his horse on the spot, losing his life.
Xiao Lingchen raised his spear and shouted loudly, "Traitor, behead him."
"Master!" "Brother!"
Jin Yan, Zhuo Sen and Zhuo Luo exclaimed at the same time.
The next moment, Zhuosen and Zhuoluo jumped up at the same time, each with a palm, attacking Xiao Lingchen.
Jin Yan also jumped up, but fled out of the palace.
Jin Wei, who had been standing quietly in front of the Pingqing Palace, suddenly jumped up at this moment, drew out the sword of destruction in his hand, and stabbed directly at Emperor Mingde, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Be careful!" Jin Xian shouted and drew out his Fengxue Sword. The sword was frosty and sharp. Before others could react, it had already met Jin Wei's Yuanyan Sword.
Among the five major prisons, two of them use swords. One is the Sword Prisoner, named after the sword, and the other is the Wind and Snow Sword that was once famous in the world. Speculation about who has better swordsmanship between the two has always been a very hot topic among people in Apocalypse City.
Today, this question is finally going to have an answer.
On the other side, Zhuosen and Zhuoluo were filled with murderous aura. They had been silent in the imperial mausoleum for so many years, and their martial arts had already reached the ninth level of the free and easy realm.
At this moment, Zhuosen and Zhuoluo believed that things were out of control. The only way out now was for Xiao Lingchen to die. Then the Langya Army would be in chaos, and no one would be able to suppress their anger. They would raze the Pingqing Palace without hesitation, and the two of them could take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Therefore, the two of them had already used all their strength in this attack, vowing to kill Xiao Lingchen with their palms.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Xiao Lingchen shook the spear in his hand and pointed it towards Zhuosen and Zhuoluo.
Xiao Lingchen had been in the military camp since he was a child. He was good at archery and horse riding, but his martial arts skills were not very good. Naturally, he was no match for Zhuosen and Zhuoluo.
However, he did not intend to really stop Zhuosen and Zhuoluo with this shot, but just wanted to buy a moment of breathing.
Just as he drew out the spear, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly rose in his throat. He immediately used the recoil force to abandon his horse and flew back to Xiao Se, Lei Wujie and Tang Lian who had hurried to rescue him.
"Thousands of heart swords." Lei Wujie slashed out his heart sword, scattering thousands of sword beams.
"The Wuji stick." Xiao Se raised the Wuji stick, and countless stick flowers bloomed.
"Flowers are flying from thousands of trees." Tang Lian waved his hand, and hundreds of hidden weapons poured down.
The three of them attacked at the same time, all targeting Zhuosen and Zhuoluo who were chasing Xiao Lingchen.
The two eunuchs swung the whisks in their hands at the same time, and the whisks stood up instantly like a startled bird taking flight.
Zhuosen's whisk wrapped around Lei Wujie's heart sword and instantly suppressed the thousands of sword beams.
Zhuo Luo's whisk also wrapped around Xiao Se's Wuji stick, and thousands of stick flowers disappeared in an instant.
However, there is a rumor in the martial arts world that goes "Three steps to Tang Sect, one step to the King of Hell." They are too close to Tang Lian, the most outstanding disciple of this generation of Tang Sect.
Even though they had waved their hands and released tremendous force, sweeping away countless hidden weapons, there were still many tiny hidden weapons like the Dragon Beard Needles that hit them.
Zhuosen and Zhuoluo fell to the ground, and a trace of blood gradually spread across their chests.
Zhuo Sen looked at Xiao Lingchen who was not far away and sighed: "One wrong move and the whole game is lost."
"Betting on me was a mistake in the first place." Xiao Lingchen said proudly, "Do you think you can guess what the Xiao royal family is thinking?"
Zhuo Luo shook his head and smiled miserably: "Maybe this is really my fate."
After saying this last sentence, they finally closed their eyes and fell to the ground.
At this time, the battle between Jin Xian and Jin Wei had also ended.
Jin Xian pointed his sword at Jin Wei who was lying on the ground and cursed, "Jin Wei, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
“You have all forgotten what Master’s wish was back then, but Jin Wei still remembers it. I just didn’t expect that the one we would rely on in the end would be a piece of trash.” Jin Wei spoke slowly, and at the end, he looked at Xiao Lingchen with an extremely angry tone.
Xiao Lingchen sneered, "Useless? Back then, for your own selfish interests, you took advantage of my father's military prestige and the people's support and forced him to the throne, which led to discord between the emperor and his subjects, and chaos in the court and the country. My father died for justice, do you want me to help you do the same thing again?"
Jin Wei said angrily in a deep voice: "The scroll originally had the name of the King of Langya written on it, so he should be the emperor."
Xiao Lingchen laughed loudly: "What a joke, I've only heard of people wanting to be the emperor, but I've never heard of people who must be the emperor. My father doesn't like that position, he won't sit on it, what can you do? I won't sit on it either, what can you do?"
Jin Xian advised: "Jin Wei, don't say anything more. Don't make the same mistake over and over again."
Jin Wei sighed: "My swordsmanship is indeed not as good as yours. If it weren't for my master, I would have died when I was five years old. I just want to do something for him."
After saying that, he suddenly swung his sword and cut his own neck, then fell in front of Pingqing Palace.
Jin Wei died, Jin Yan escaped, and Zhuoxin, Zhuosen, and Zhuoluo, who were behind the plot, also died.
But this rebellion is far from over.
The three old eunuchs were just the planners of all this. Now the deciders of this situation are no longer them, but the Langya Army below, and Ye Xiaoying, who truly controls the Langya Army.
Xiao Lingchen is still young, and although he has been supported by the soldiers in recent days, he still relies on the glory of Xiao Ruofeng. After all, the real commander of the Langya Army is this golden-armored general with great military power.
However, Ye Xiaoying had not spoken for a long time, even when Xiao Lingchen tore up the Dragon Seal Scroll, he did not say a word. Now that Xiao Lingchen and Xiao Se had killed the three former Five Great Supervisors, could he still remain silent?
"General, what should we do now?" The captain of the Ye Camp rode his horse to Ye Xiaoying's side.
Ye Xiaoying suddenly raised his head, drew out the two swords behind him, and shouted angrily: "Kill!"
Upon receiving the order, the Langya army immediately raised their weapons and rushed towards the imperial guards and the Huben Lang.
Just as a war was about to break out, a voice suddenly rang out, like thunder, shaking all directions.
"town!"
A huge Tai Chi diagram with a radius of about three miles suddenly appeared in the air and then sank downwards. All the soldiers suddenly felt a tremendous force falling on their heads and were instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
