The late autumn night wind swept through the dark and lifeless Yandu City like a razor...
The moon is like half a dead person's face, its cold light is so faint that it cannot penetrate the dark night...
Suddenly, a shrill crow's cry broke the quiet night...
Accompanied by the neighing of crows, a dark cloud rolled in from the sky, swallowing up the blood-like waning moon like a fierce tiger. In an instant, darkness enveloped the entire Yandu...
well!
It seems like things are going to change——
Deep in the alley, a lame old watchman raised his head, his cloudy eyes falling on the sky covered with dark clouds...
After a while, he sighed softly, lowered his head, quickened his pace, banged his clapper, and shouted hoarsely...
"Be careful with candles, and the world will be at peace!"
But can the world be at peace——
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the gate of Xicheng...
Kicks sound like thunder!
Amid the horrified eyes of the city gate guards, a group of heavily armored cavalry galloped over!
These cavalry are obviously the elite among the elite, with uniform black steel armor, uniform black horses, and uniform black cloaks...
The horses' hooves trampled on the cement pavement, making a very rhythmic thunderous sound. These elite knights' skills in controlling horses were also superb, and even the sound of the horses' hooves was so consistent!
When they were about to arrive at the city gate, the cavalry suddenly slowed down. The horses were under control, and no horse lost their rhythm. They stopped neatly under the city gate...
The knight with a yellow feather on his helmet slowly walked out of the crowd and gently took off his helmet. The black cloak behind him rustled in the wind...
The extremely nervous guards on the city wall immediately saw the knight's face clearly from a distance——
Surprisingly, it is the eldest prince!
The eldest prince who has left Beijing...
…
The entrance to the palace.
Under the dark clouds covering the moon at night, a group of light cavalry hurried over and slowly stopped outside the city gate. The leaders were actually the Prime Minister Zhao Linfu and the third prince, and behind them were followed by nearly one-third of the civil and military officials.
There are also a group of people in white...
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what are you doing by leading hundreds of officials to break into the palace late at night?" Li Hong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard who was responsible for guarding the palace, looked at the people below and asked. When he saw the third prince, his eyelids jumped immediately. Speaking of which, Li Hong
He can be considered a member of the royal family, but I don’t know how many generations have passed, and now he is a trusted general of the prince!
"According to the decree of the Holy One, I must enter the palace immediately. Commander Li, please open the city gate immediately." Zhao Linfu said calmly.
"Oh, the Prime Minister is coming to the palace... but we haven't received any news!" Li Hong naturally knew that at this time, Emperor Ling would not issue an order to meet the Prime Minister...
"Is it possible that Commander Li suspected the truth?" Zhao Linfu said angrily.
"I don't dare in my humble position!" Li Hong lowered his head and said, but he didn't mean to dare at all. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty Commander——"
Li Hong could tell that the voice was that of his trusted general, but before he could respond, there was a sudden pop. Suddenly, a boundless pain overwhelmed him. When he lowered his head and looked, he could only see half of the body.
The bright sword emerged from the belly——
It seems that the water is still flowing, and the water is actually red, which is really surprising!
"you--"
With a muffled groan, the whole person fell off the city wall with a bang...
And with the death of Li Hong, the battle has completely begun...
Suddenly there was a burst of exclamations and angry roars...
scene!
There was chaos all of a sudden...
Many Praetorians died among their comrades!
While they were looking warily at the bottom of the city, a knife suddenly cut across their throats, and bright red blood spurted out like a fountain. Before they could figure out what was going on, they collapsed...
After a while, the city gate opened wide...
Zhao Linfu and the third prince immediately rushed into the palace...
This night is destined to be an uneventful night——
Undercurrent is surging!
Who will be the final winner——
…
"Father! It's time for you to abdicate—"
quiet!
Depressed silence...
In the empty and splendid hall, the only thing that sounded was the echo over and over again——
The prince's gaze was directed at the Spirit Emperor like a sword, with a fanatical light shooting out of his eyes. After he shouted this, he no longer felt guilty, no longer afraid, and no longer had any psychological burden...
Yes--
Father, it’s time for you to abdicate!
At this moment, it is already a matter of course...
Only I can be your successor, only I am qualified to sit in that position, and only I can lead the Great Chu Empire on the road to prosperity...
Not even you!
Emperor Ling's hands were still trembling, and his eyes were extremely gloomy. His eyes, which were slightly squinted, finally opened completely. He looked at the prince with only pity!
Yes, it was indeed pity. He looked at the son he had raised for twenty-four years with such pity...
No, it can’t be said to be twenty-four years, maybe it can only be said to be eighteen years——
Eighteen years ago...
Emperor Ling suddenly remembered what he was doing eighteen years ago. His memory seemed a little blurry!
Then he remembered eight years ago——
His body swayed slightly, but he still stood up abruptly, and a commanding aura burst out...
Even Li Ziyun, who was hiding in the dark, felt his aura and couldn't help but be secretly shocked. This is an aura that can only be possessed by sitting in that position for a long, long time...
The aura that seemed to have materialized suddenly rushed towards the prince, which made the prince couldn't help but take a step back and almost squatted on the ground——
Seeing this scene, Emperor Ling wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. In fact, he hadn't laughed since eight years ago...
"Anyone is qualified to sit in this position, but you are not!"
Emperor Ling said this to the prince, his eyes were still filled with pity...
Angry!
The prince was completely angered...
He was irritated by the Ling Emperor's ruthless words, irritated by the Ling Emperor's pitiful gaze, and irritated by the fact that he had made a fool of himself under such a grand ceremony——
A murderous intent shrouded his face as he walked forward step by step. At this moment, his eyes were so sharp!
"Father, this is my last call to you as father...Father! Please abdicate..."
His feet were moving slowly, and the prince's voice was cold!
"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"
The Grand Master knelt down and shouted.
But the prince's footsteps still did not stop. When he walked in front of the old man in green shirt, the old man in blue shirt suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a solemn voice floated out——
"If you take one more step forward, your head will fall to the ground!"
However, the prince acted as if he had not heard anything and took such a step forward without any hesitation...
[It’s time for the protagonist to explode soon, brothers, wait patiently...]
