The sharp sword energy was instantly sensed by the Spear King of Xishu.
He redirected the shot originally aimed at Marquis Lu in time to block the incoming sword energy.
But even though his spear was blocked so quickly, he was still forced to take several steps back by the sword's energy before he could steady his body!
"What a strong knife!"
The Spear King of Xishu had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Looking up, I saw a crack hundreds of meters long on the ground!
That was caused by the sword energy!!
The inner strength of the person who wielded this sword is shocking!!!
"Zhao Shanchuan, if you don't stay well in Xishu, why are you here interfering in the affairs of the dynasty?"
The sound sounded, and the Spear King of Xishu looked up.
Only a short distance away.
A one-armed old man who was dressed simply and looked a bit slovenly dropped the half-cut knife in his hand and walked over with a yawn.
An attitude that did not take Xishu Spear King seriously at all.
You know, the Spear King of Xishu is the twelfth strongest warrior in the Zhou Dynasty!
That is, one of the twelve strongest people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!!
There are still people who are not afraid of such an existence!
Even call him by his first name.
Then there is only one possibility.
The one-armed man is stronger than the Spear King of Xishu!
"Shen Lian Dao! It's you!!"
Zhao Shanchuan, the spear king of Xishu, saw the person coming and recognized his identity instantly.
When the handsome man in the distance heard the name, the red jade pendant in his hand was instantly pinched and crushed tightly.
He seemed shocked too!
Because he has also heard of this name.
Shen Lian Dao, the best sword in the world!
He was on the list of warriors of the Zhou Dynasty more than ten years ago, and he is always in the top three!!
Even after decades, since his arm was broken, no one in the world has seen Shen Liandao take action. But it does not affect Shen Liandao's ranking in the top five!
And this was while one arm was injured!
If both arms are present, the ranking will definitely be higher!!
"Why did Shen Lian Dao appear here!" The handsome man almost gritted his teeth and said this.
He envisioned many outcomes.
It was even imagined that the Zhou Dynasty would send out imperial guards, dragon guards, etc.
I never expected that there would be such a perverted and strong man protecting Marquis Lu!!
Shen Lian's sword is powerful enough to kill everyone brought by the handsome man.
Even if he hasn't seen the other party take action for more than ten years.
Just that knife blow just now has verified this result.
Can't beat it!
"Sure enough, it's just like what my second uncle said, I can't kill Marquis Lu today."
The handsome man sighed.
"Let's go."
He didn't show any nostalgia and turned around to leave.
A group of masked assassins followed closely behind.
But before the man left, he didn't forget to take a look at Shen Lian Dao.
This perverted man is actually still alive.
And his cultivation level is stronger.
Who is it that can make him come out to protect Marquis Lu?
After thinking about it, the handsome man's eyes flickered slightly.
"Could it be that he is the emperor's brother?"
………
The Spear King of Xishu left with his silver spear.
Because he knew he couldn't defeat the one-armed man Shen Lian Dao.
The knife just now proved it.
"Thank you, Master Shen, for your help!"
Marquis Lu thanked him with his hands.
Shen Liandao was not his bodyguard, so when Shen Liandao stayed at the inn to drink and did not break out of the encirclement with them, Marquis Lu couldn't say much.
He was originally prepared to fight to the death with Zhao Shanchuan, the spear king of Xishu.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lian Dao would come to help.
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
Shen Liandao glanced at Lu Hou and the seriously injured guard underground, yawned, and said: "Pack up, let's go as soon as possible. Go to the capital to have a sleep, and grab some good wine by the way. My wine bottle is empty. I didn't find it just now. liquor."
"..."
Marquis Lu understood.
It turns out that Shen Liandao was left alone at the inn just now and was looking for a drink.
This made him dumbfounded.
Fortunately, although the guards were seriously injured by the Spear King of Xishu, their lives were not in danger and they could still move.
Obviously the only target that the Spear King of Western Shu wanted to kill was Marquis Lu.
It leaves a glimmer of hope for others.
"Master Lu, it seems that the Spear King of Xishu is not a bandit. How could he conspire with these assassins? Could it be that he wants to rebel?"
The leading guard covered his chest, looked at Zhao Shanchuan's leaving figure, and couldn't help but question.
Lu Hou shook his head slightly.
It's hard for him to say either.
Moreover, the ones who attacked them this time were not rogue bandits.
I'm afraid it's a powerful force in the imperial court.
Marquis Lu looked ahead in the direction of the capital, his eyes turning cold.
Entering Beijing this time will definitely not bring any good results.
In fact, Marquis Lu can completely become a prince and enjoy the life of a prince peacefully.
However, he did not want to see the Zhou Dynasty being bullied by other dynasties.
I don’t even want to see the people of the Zhou Dynasty being bullied.
Marquis Lu was once a general in the Zhou Dynasty.
Just because of some unspeakable secrets, he became one of the princes independently.
He still has deep feelings for the Zhou Dynasty.
besides.
Now the queen of Muyi Tianxia is his daughter, Lu Shangcheng.
Due to emotions and reasons, even the prince Lu Shangcheng could not watch Emperor Zhou Ren fall.
We cannot watch the Great Zhou Dynasty fall.
We cannot watch the people of the Zhou Dynasty being oppressed!
………
The second day.
In ordinary people's homes, chickens crow and dogs bleat.
In the palace, the daily morning dynasty began.
It's just that today's morning morning was a little more strange than usual.
I can't say exactly what's different about it.
The ministers came to wait outside the palace gate early.
When the time comes, the palace door opens.
After entering the palace, all the ministers had to wait in the square to enter the palace. During the waiting process, the ministers were not like those in the TV series, where they had nothing to do but whisper or quarrel with each other, because there were people on site to supervise them - supervisors. Censor.
If someone is found to have behaved inappropriately, it will be recorded. After the court meeting, the person may be left behind to be criticized, or charged with deceiving the emperor or something like that, and may be thrown directly into jail.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, some princes headed by King Ping of Zhou, as well as the prime minister and several generals, could talk to each other as if no one else was around.
Soon, the morning service started at six in the morning.
The ministers began to enter the palace.
Those with small official positions do not need to enter the palace.
The younger ones don't even have to attend morning court.
For example, Wu Zhongxian.
Of course, even if Wu Zhongxian could attend the morning meeting, he would not come.
Aren't you tired of having to arrive at your desk after five o'clock in the morning?
At the same time, as the ministers entered the main hall, the morning court also began.
But what is interesting is that not all ministers in the Zhou Dynasty stood in two rows to listen to the court.
In front of all the ministers, there are six rows of four chairs, a total of twenty-four chairs.
Civil servants and military generals with high official positions, as well as princes with real power like King Ping of Zhou, could sit in court.
This also reflects the great power of these ministers today.
Because in the era of Emperor Wu of Zhou, no one could go to court sitting down.
Everyone needs to stand!
You even need to kneel when reporting problems!
Although Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty usually went to court once every ten days in the morning, the ministers were much more serious than doing so once a day.
All the ministers were in place, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor still hadn't come.
At this time, King Zhou Ping leaned on his chair and spoke to a military commander next to him.
"I heard that Marquis Lu entered Beijing this morning?"
