Although worried in his heart, Zhou Longtu still focused on the present. In the field, Zhu Jiming was already fighting with the old eunuch. Compared with Zhu Jiming's open and close, the old eunuch seemed more feminine, but this was not the case.
It's normal, after all, the paths they take are essentially different.
The two men were fighting in the field, but Zhou Longtu always felt that something was wrong, as if something had been forgotten by him.
Zhu Jiming wanted to fight quickly, get rid of the old eunuch, and shock the Manchus in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect that after he actually took action, he discovered how difficult the old eunuch was. The other party did not confront him head-on, but used his elusive appearance.
The law was wandering around him, giving him a big headache.
Just when Zhu Jiming was thinking about using the secret technique, he suddenly stiffened and his eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing a hint of shock and disbelief.
The old eunuch who had been walking around seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. When Zhu Jiming's accident happened, he instantly appeared in front of Zhu Jiming, with his right hand on his body, and his sharp nails seemed to have grown longer.
He stroked Zhu Jiming's neck.
When Zhu Jiming's body was stiff, Zhou Longtu felt bad and wanted to save Zhu Jiming. After all, a strong man with a small degree of Taoism was still of great use to him, but he did not expect that at this time, a wave of
No less than his breath locked him.
Behind the dragon chair, the old lama with his eyes closed opened his eyes at the same time.
Just after such a delay, Zhu Jiming already let out a scream and his head flew high.
The life of a master hangs by a thread, let alone a strong man with a small amount of Taoism. Zhu Jiming's stiffness just now pushed him into the abyss of death. What's more important is that the old eunuch acted decisively, as if he had known this would happen.
.
The moment when Zhu Jiming's body stiffened, it was the time when the little heavenly master inspired the laws of heaven and man to break through the great formation that shrouded Tianshou Mountain in Tianshou Mountain.
In other words, all of this is part of Cixi's calculations.
Zhu Jiming's head rolled in mid-air, and then was caught in the hands of the old eunuch. Even though his head fell off, Zhu Jiming still stared wide-eyed and did not die immediately. With his strong vitality, he died at the last moment.
"Idiot, if I hadn't kept you useful, you would have died twenty years ago." Cixi looked at Zhu Jiming who still refused to die and said lightly. For a moment, Zhu Jiming's eyes widened even more.
But then, the look in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he truly died.
When Zhu Jiming died, everyone on Zhou Longtu's side was speechless for a moment. No one thought that Zhu Jiming would die in the end, and that he would die so quickly and easily.
But in the end, everyone saw what happened to Zhu Jiming. They looked at the old Buddha on the dragon throne with obvious fear. No matter what means she used, Zhu Jiming's death was an unchangeable fact.
A strong person with a small level of Taoism is definitely a huge loss.
In fact, there are only five powerful people with a small degree of success in Zhou Longtu's side, including Zhu Jiming.
"Zhou Longtu, if you retreat now, I will spare the life of the Confucian cultivators in the world. Otherwise, I will not mind imitating the great emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty and burning books to embarrass Confucians, so that your Confucianism will become the last." Cixi ignored the dead Zhu Jiming.
, turned to look at Zhou Longtu and said.
As a Confucian inheritor who is only one step away from attaining the great attainment of Taoism, Zhou Longtu is the most dangerous one, especially for the plan she will implement next.
Although she invited the longest-living lama from the Western Regions, he may not be able to defeat Zhou Longtu. The most likely thing is to block him, but this is far from enough for her.
"Don't you think this threat is of no use to me? Even the great emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty couldn't wipe out Confucianism, let alone the Queen Mother." Zhou Longtu shook his head slightly, and then continued: "What's more, if my Confucianism is safe, in fact,
The best way is to kill the Queen Mother, so as to avoid future troubles."
"If I die, the world will immediately fall into pieces. At this moment, the Western powers are eyeing you. Do you want to repeat the same mistakes? Let the four directions of the Central Plains sink?" Cixi said directly.
"The person who died here is just a madman blinded by ambition and desire, but there will still be a queen mother in the Forbidden City. She will complete the mission you have not completed, and the world will eventually be on the right track." Zhou Longtu looked unconvinced.
The way he moved.
"It's so good that you, the Confucianists, are very good at coercing the emperor to control the world. You spend all your time pretending to be for the people of the world and the common people, but you are the most typical wallflower. Aren't you afraid of retribution one day?"
Ci Xi said that the two people's words were sharp and focused on attacking the heart. If one of them believed it or was at a disadvantage, it would be the time for the other party to launch an attack.
"Faith lies in not regretting even if we die. This is Confucianism. Our Confucian spirit has always existed in the vast river. As for whether it is fair or not, future generations will comment." Zhou Longtu didn't care about Cixi's slander, but he could say
How can he be swayed by just a few words? In that case, he, the successor of Confucianism who has achieved great success, would be too unworthy of his name.
"It's good that justice will be judged by future generations. I admit that I underestimated you, but do you dare to take a gamble with me?" Cixi looked at Zhou Longtu and said suddenly.
"How to bet?" Zhou Longtu did not agree immediately, but was silent for a moment before asking.
"There are twelve guards here in this palace, each of them is at the perfection level, and besides you, there are ten people over there. Although there are two less, there are four Taoist masters. How dare you do this with me?
A competition between the twelve guards? No matter life or death?" Cixi's eyes glanced at the people behind Zhou Longtu, and then she proposed a condition that no one had thought of.
Even Zhou Longtu didn't expect that despite the small number of people on his side, there were still four Taoist masters left. Under normal circumstances, not to mention four, just one could kill twelve perfection-level experts.
, and Cixi doesn’t look like an unwise person, so it’s obvious that the problem lies with the twelve guards.
Zhou Longtu looked at the twelve guards who were wearing the same armor, and even their breathing was integrated into one, and his face was a little more solemn. He believed that since Cixi made this request, she must have confidence in the twelve guards, but
From Zhou Longtu's point of view, even if the twelve guards were one with each other and were proficient in a certain battle formation, it would be impossible for them to face four Dao types with minor achievements and six Dao types with perfection.
Moreover, the Taoism that can be achieved here is at the top of this level, far from being comparable to ordinary perfection levels.
As soon as Cixi finished speaking, many people behind Zhou Longtu had cold glints in their eyes.
Although strong people should not be moved by external things, strong people are also human beings and have emotions and desires. Now that they are looked down upon by Cixi, how can they not be angry?
"I can't make the decision on this matter. If the Queen Mother really wants to bet, it depends on their own opinions." Zhou Longtu thought for a while and said, he did not directly refuse, but he also did not agree.
However, Cixi smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you are all the top figures in the world today, but do you dare to compete with me and the twelve bodyguards?"
When Cixi asked this, she was actually convinced that these people could not refuse, because the strong have the self-esteem of the strong, just like Zhu Jiming just wanted to fight the old eunuch.
"Since the Queen Mother wants to bet, I will naturally accompany you, but I don't know what the Queen Mother's bet is?" Leng Yu suddenly said in the crowd. She is the only woman here, and she is also a Taoist priest, so no one looks down on her.
She, and no one thought she was reckless when she opened her mouth, and her question was what everyone wanted to know.
"The bet is on the world. If you win, I will stop planning and the world will be given away. But if you lose, then keep your life." Cixi said coldly, wanting to take her money.
How can the bet be simple? Put your life on the line first.
Hearing Cixi's words, some people frowned, but more people were filled with fighting spirit. They did not think that they would lose. Similarly, if they failed, what about leaving their lives behind? It was nothing more than dying sooner or later.
Although no one wants to die, sometimes we have to see whether death is worthwhile.
"Okay, I have agreed. I just hope that the Queen Mother will not regret it when the time comes." Leng Yu continued. Suddenly, the auras of ten people rose into the sky, and even caused the sky above the sky to change, giving birth to many illusions.
"You have no joke!"
Ci Xi said lightly, as if she thought of herself as the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being. At the same time, a majesty was revealed from her body. The dragon robe automatically moved without wind. The pressure of people falling towards her with their hands folded was immediately resolved. With the power of one person,
Against ten people, and looking at her calm appearance, many people's pupils shrank sharply, and even Zhou Longtu's eyes changed slightly when he looked at her.
Moreover, Zhou Longtu felt slightly uneasy from beginning to end. Logically speaking, he is a powerful man with great attainment of Taoism, and his spirit, energy and spirit have long been perfected. This should not happen, but the real situation is completely opposite.
He couldn't help but think of Zhu Jiming. At that time, he also had a bad premonition in his heart, but it was not as strong as it is now.
Could there be any mishaps happening in this?
Zhou Longtu couldn't help but cast his eyes on the twelve guards again, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that these twelve guards had the possibility of winning.
"Is it a conspiracy?" Zhou Longtu couldn't help but think.
But at this time, even if he wanted to go back on his word, it was already too late, because everyone had agreed, and he couldn't go back on his word, otherwise he would have broken his promise. He didn't care much about his reputation, but in this way, the person opposite would have an excuse.
This is the reason, and she showed her aura just now to frighten him.
An old lama and an equally unfathomable Cixi. No matter how confident Zhou Longtu is, he dare not say that he can beat the two of them together. Moreover, this is where the Manchu and Qing imperial mausoleums are located. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have operated hundreds of businesses here.
No one knew what was behind the scenes, which was the main reason why he didn't turn against Cixi as soon as he came up.
The other party seems to be delaying time deliberately, and he also needs some time to verify his judgment. In this confrontation, he cannot fail, and he will not allow failure. (To be continued)
