Sikong Hui frowned, suddenly remembering that rainy night at the border.
That day he rushed into the enemy camp and fell into a trap. Xia Feng led a hundred cavalry and descended from the sky to rescue him.
At that moment, to be honest, Sikong Hui was moved.
Especially the numerous scars on Xia Feng's body made him swear secretly in his heart that no matter what he becomes in the future, he will... follow him to the death!
Not to protect the dragon, not for fame, but for this bloody battle tonight.
Probably young men of that age are passionate and have a righteous heart.
Even if my father warned me again and again, there is no sincerity in the emperor's family.
But in Sikong Hui's heart, he still felt grateful to Xia Feng.
only!!
He never dreamed that Xia Feng summoned him to the palace today just to...
"My whole life has been difficult and difficult. What I say and do is not controlled by myself. I am cautious and humble. I have to take care of myself step by step. Why?"
Xia Feng smiled bitterly, his eyes a little sad.
"I lost my mother when I was ten years old, and I have to endure and work hard. In the palace, I am targeted everywhere. Even my father is on guard against me!!!"
The more Xia Feng spoke, the more excited he became, "Do you think I can act as willfully as you do and do things based on my heart?"
"If I don't get the world, I will only end up dead. But you, with the support of the Sikong family, will never fall into despair!!"
"Sikong Hui, do you think I don't want to give Shuang'er happiness? I...can't do it!"
"How many people in this imperial capital are looking forward to my death? If I care too much about Shuang'er, she will eventually become a pawn in the eyes of others!!"
"That's it! Instead of three people suffering, let me bear it alone! You are my brother, and she is my love. I am relieved to entrust her to you. In this way, I can also focus on...fighting for the emperor!"
"boom!"
Outside Xia Feng, a spiritual light suddenly shot into the sky, and the temperature of the entire hall became a bit colder for no reason at this time.
Sikong Hui stared blankly at the young man in front of him, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't speak for a long time.
"Big...brother!!"
turn out to be!!!
Big brother’s heart is so complicated and bitter!!
So what if he is a demon?
Who said all demons are ruthless and ruthless?
I think the elder brother is very good!
For Shuang'er's happiness, carrying her own pain, she actually entrusted her... to me!
Such people become demons just to...become stronger, so that they can protect the people they love.
For the first time in his life, Sikong Hui felt that the devil was different from what he imagined.
"Brother Hui, have you realized it?"
Xia Feng sighed lightly, but his eyes were a little strangely gloomy.
Sikong Hui, one day I will uproot the Sikong family.
"Brother!! I understand! Don't worry, I will definitely use the power of the Sikong clan to help you ascend to the throne in the future!!"
Sikong Hui took a deep breath and looked at Xia Feng with eyes filled with gratitude.
It all makes sense, everything makes sense!
Xia Feng is possessed by a demon. Perhaps for the sake of strength, he deliberately behaves indifferently to Shuang'er, but in fact he is protecting her!
But... why did he kill the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty and seize the imperial vein Lingjin?
Could it be that my eldest brother is...somewhat ill?
Yes! That must be the case!
Although demon cultivators improve their realm quickly, their mental state is often unstable.
This is what people often say, the reason why demons do whatever they want. In fact, it is difficult for them to control their own minds!
And this Lingjin is a great treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that it can warm and nourish the heart and calm the mind...
"Brother! You..."
“It’s not good, it’s not good!!”
Just when Sikong Hui's eyes were filled with pain and he wanted to question Xia Feng, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Um?"
Xia Feng frowned slightly, turned around and saw a Forbidden Army guard rushing towards him in a panic. When he saw Sikong Hui, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
"The eldest prince..."
"But it doesn't matter, General Sikong is not an outsider."
"Yes! The eldest prince...Miss Qiao Shuang...is dead!"
"What!!!"
For a moment, Xia Feng and Sikong Hui's faces were stunned at the same time, and then turned into a strong shock and resentment.
Damn it?
Sikong Hui, who I had finally deceived so damn hard, was used by me. I was preparing to launch a general offensive and ascend to the throne in one fell swoop. But... I lost all my chips?
and!!
For some reason, Xia Feng felt a slight sense of uneasiness in his heart at this moment.
I thought I was standing on the tenth floor, but now why do I feel like there is someone on the eleventh floor?!
"what happened!!!"
Sikong Hui grabbed the guard's armor and shouted in a hissing voice.
"I don't know, but I heard that the Grand Imperial Master has been released from seclusion, and now everyone in the Qiao family is crying."
"Whoosh!"
Sikong Hui gritted his teeth, not caring about Xia Feng behind him, and instantly rushed out of the palace.
How can it be?
He had just imagined the scene of their wedding, and Qiao Shuang actually died?
We separated yesterday. Although she was haggard, she was obviously happy!!
who is it!!
Who killed my Shuang'er!!
From the beginning to the end, Xia Feng did not speak again, but looked solemnly at Sikong Hui who disappeared in the distance, thinking secretly in his heart.
what happened?
Qiao Shuang obviously likes Sikong Hui, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Lixiang Garden to find her last night.
But why did she die overnight?
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the Great Imperial Preceptor Qiao Yunli, the sixth-grade God Emperor, is in charge.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the powerful God Emperor would not be able to easily enter the house and kill Qiao Shuang.
unless…
Xia Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind.
It doesn't make sense. Why did that adult need to kill Qiao Shuang?
As long as he thinks about it, the entire Great Xia can be wiped out in a snap of his fingers.
Is it the queen? Or the second prince and the others?
Finally, Xia Feng found two talismans from the Qiankun bag, held them in his hands, and walked out of the hall.
Today, Qiao Shuang is still his fiancée in name.
She was dead, and if he didn't show up, he would probably attract more criticism.
Those two spiritual talismans were found by him from an ancient ruins.
One can move space, and one can withstand a strike from the God Emperor.
No matter who killed Qiao Shuang, someone was going to attack him!!
In the Imperial Master's Mansion, a divine power surged into the sky.
All the guards and maids were kneeling on the ground with fearful expressions.
In the center of the hall, Qiao Shuang's body was placed on a jade couch.
In front of him, an old man in black robe with gray hair stood quietly.
A wisp of majestic momentum, like a sudden rain in front of a mountain, is about to pour out.
"boom!"
"Shuang'er!!!"
It wasn't until Sikong Hui burst in from outside the hall that the silent and oppressive atmosphere in the hall was broken.
Qiao Yunli frowned slightly, looking at the young man who knelt down in front of Qiao Shuang's coffin with a plop, his old eyes were full of depth, as if they had evolved from stars.
"Are you...that boy from the Sikong family?"
"Grandpa Qiao!! Shuang'er, how did you die!!"
Sikong Hui's eyes were red with tears, and the ferocious look on his face made Qiao Yunli a little frightened.
He didn't expect that the first person to come to his door today would be Young Master Sikong.
"Shuang'er!!!"
Immediately afterwards, another mournful cry came from outside the palace, and Xia Feng's figure fell from the sky, wearing a shining black python robe, and there was also a touch of shock and grief on his face.
But inexplicably, the eyes of the two guards standing in the palace suddenly flashed with a murderous intent.
