King Nanming looked silently at the unrivaledly handsome and elegant prince Zhenguo not far away.
The calm face twitched slightly, and the jade beads in his hands slowly turned.
Then, King Nanming looked at Princess Nanming, who had a beautiful face, but looked and behaved as charmingly as an oiran. Her noble aura blended well with the charm of her face.
Very beautiful.
But King Nanming just felt that he didn't appreciate it enough.
He moved his lips a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Silently, he turned sideways and took a few steps back.
Pull out the dagger that Princess Nanming stabbed into his waist.
After all, he did not dare to do anything to Princess Nanming, the eccentric Demon Emperor's clone.
At best, he can only be a master of desktop cleaning in an incompetent rage.
King Nanming took a deep breath. After all, he still couldn't believe that the Demon Emperor's clone would abandon him. They were standing together, and the Demon Emperor would not be like this.
But the current situation before him, as well as the weird temperament of the Demon King's clone, forced King Nanming to take another look at the strange situation in front of him.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Zhihai, who were scanning the sky, turned their attention back to the prince Zhenguo.
Seeing the bright smile of the Duke of Zhenguo, King Nanming only felt upset.
Reminiscent of the fact that the previous incident of demon clan smuggling into the port was exposed, it was the prince Zhenguo who was in front of him. Could this scene at the royal ceremony also be the work of the prince Zhenguo?
King Nanming couldn't help but think, but he didn't understand how the prince of Zhenguo found out about his plan.
Did King Nanming tell him?
Should not be ah.
If it was Princess Nanming who told him this time, that would be fine.
But the last time, when the Prince of Zhenguo discovered that the demon clan was smuggling into the port, Princess Nanming had not come into contact with the Prince of Zhenguo, at least not under his sight, not in person.
Thinking about the previous martial arts competition between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, the same was true, and it was disrupted by the Prince of Zhenguo.
He himself did not hesitate to expose Qiu Zhizhen, the dean of the Great Zhou Martial Academy who had been hidden for many years and whose cultivation had reached the ninth level. His purpose was to kill the students in the martial arts competition, disrupt the relationship between Great Wei and Great Zhou, and make the two countries turn against each other. , it would be best if a war broke out.
But the result?
Qiuzhizhu died tragically.
His plan was miserably aborted.
Recall that Bai Shuxuan's previous attempt to seduce Cheng Guang failed, and the assassination operation was not only unsuccessful, but also resulted in the loss of many subordinates, including even a strong man who had reached the eighth-level king realm.
It can be said to be a blood loss.
King Nanming didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably that every move he made seemed to be noticed in advance by the Duke of Zhenguo. Every step he took made his plan miscarry.
King Nanming slowly turned the jade beads in his hand, looked at the prince Zhenguo not far away, patiently controlled his emotions, and asked:
"Did you direct this scene today?"
Cheng Guang spread his hands, "It's not me, but does it matter?"
King Nanming laughed, "It's really not important."
At this moment, Emperor Zhou and Cheng Zhihai, who were standing in the air, slowly walked down from the sky and landed not far from King Nanming.
The Shenyue Mountain, which was originally slightly turbulent, fell silent the moment Emperor Zhou appeared, and the turmoil subsided instantly.
Some rebellious officials were still struggling at first, but when they saw the appearance of the Emperor of Zhou, their faces turned pale and gave up resistance.
If the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, there will be no chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if he misses the prince, it is impossible to cause any more trouble in this situation.
At the same time, except for the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister of the imperial court, who had just closed his eyes to rest, the other five ministers did not pretend to be dead at this time.
They were thankful in their hearts that they were not hot-headed and had just supported King Nanming to ascend the throne. If not, they really don’t know what the end would be like.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Your Majesty, the demon emperor suddenly attacked, but we didn't react."
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine now. If not, I will fight the Demon Emperor until death."
"Now that the White Tiger Demon Emperor has died tragically, it is really satisfying. If he dares to attack His Majesty, this is the fate he deserves!"
The courtiers gathered around him one after another, bowed respectfully, and expressed their loyalty to the Emperor of Zhou.
The cold and majestic face of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not change at all after listening to the words of the courtiers. He only glanced at the appearance of the court officials, and then set his sights on the rebel officials.
The leader among them is Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites. He has extremely high cultivation. Before this, even the Golden Lantern and Golden Lantern arresters could not do anything to him.
The moment Emperor Zhou appeared, Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, knelt down happily on the ground, pulling his son Wen Qinghe, who was still a little confused, to kneel down with him.
Wen Qinghe now only feels as if he is dreaming. First, he said that Emperor Zhou was dead, and his father decisively surrendered to King Nanming, supported King Nanming to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and gained the Conglong Gong, and now His Majesty is alive again.
He couldn't figure out for a while what the situation in front of him was.
He just lay flat like a salted fish.
How dare you resist at all.
When Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, noticed the Emperor Zhou's eyes falling on him, tears flowed down his wrinkled old face, his lips trembled, and he cried out.
"Your Majesty, I am really happy to see that Your Majesty is fine."
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said noncommittally when he heard this: "Happy?"
"Not disappointed?"
Wen Shouren wailed quickly: "How dare you, my minister? Everything just happened was forced by the situation. When I saw the demon emperor suddenly attacking Your Majesty, my heart was broken immediately. Your Majesty, you don't know..."
Wen Shouren wanted to cry immediately, but Emperor Zhou had no intention of listening to his nonsense anymore. He just frowned slightly and looked sideways at Cheng Zhihai.
"Is he related to missing the prince?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded slightly when he heard what Emperor Zhou said.
The Emperor Zhou nodded indifferently, looked at the traitorous officials who were kneeling down, many of whom were familiar faces, was silent for a while, and said:
"Then behead them all. Behead them all."
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, a group of traitorous officials kneeling on the ground were frightened to the point of freezing.
They did not expect that the Emperor of Zhou would be so ruthless as to kill all of them. These officials accounted for a large part of the power of the imperial court, and many nobles from aristocratic families were involved behind them.
Many officials were trembling and wanted to beg for mercy, but the police officer holding the lamp on the side did not give them a chance to beg for mercy.
If not for the sudden appearance of Emperor Zhou, they would have become fresh corpses by lying on the ground.
He immediately swung his sword and dropped it, and a large piece of his head fell to the ground.
The blood stains the dust, and the cold is like a blade.
A large number of officials around him were beheaded. The leader, Wen Shouren, seemed to be in a state of despair. His body trembled a few times and he laughed miserably. His body, which was still upright, suddenly stooped a little and he begged.
"Your Majesty, I will die if I die, old minister, but my son, my son doesn't know anything."
"Can you ask your Majesty to spare my son's life?"
Emperor Zhou did not answer.
Wen Shouren already understood what Emperor Zhou meant. He smiled bitterly and looked at his still ignorant son beside him, with regret and self-blame on his face.
A scene flashed by. Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites and one of the six ministers who stood at the top of the dynasty, fell in a pool of blood.
Wen Qinghe had a dull look on his face, as if he hadn't reacted yet. The next moment, he felt a sting, his eyes widened, and he fell next to Wen Shouren.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The rebellious officials were killed on the spot, and the originally sacred Shenyue Mountain seemed to have become an execution ground.
Even the officials who were not rebellious could not help but feel a strong chill in this atmosphere and shuddered. Under such circumstances, they immediately acted like a coward.
dare not make a sound.
The Emperor of Zhou looked at King Nanming aside.
King Nanming's face showed a look of anxiety and concern at the right time, and said: "Your Majesty, just fine, I just thought that Your Majesty has... That's why..."
"Everything I did was wrong."
Emperor Zhou listened to King Nanming's words indifferently, and scanned King Nanming's body with majestic eyes, "You have kept me in the dark for so many years. Brother Huang is really good at it."
King Nanming slowly turned the jade bead in his hand. The jade bead rotated slightly faster. The anxiety and concern on his face faded slightly, and was replaced by a little confusion.
"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"
King Nanming had no choice at this time.
He could only bet that Princess Nanming, the Demon Queen, would not betray him, and he was also betting that the Emperor of Zhou would still have some affection for him, the King of Nanming.
Regardless of whether he is the King of Nanming or the missing prince, he is the only brother left to the Emperor of Zhou at the moment.
From King Nanming's point of view, the Emperor of Zhou valued family affection so much, and even if he could be seen missing the prince, as long as he wore the skin of King Nanming, he would not be able to bear to do anything.
The Emperor of Zhou looked at King Nanming indifferently.
At this time, the officials in the imperial court, after hearing the words of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, couldn't help but cast their eyes on King Nanming, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
"His Majesty, it seems that King Nanming really misses the prince."
"I don't know how Prince Miss Miss changed his appearance into that of Prince Nanming."
"Having said that, if the true identity of King Nanming is to miss the crown prince, then where is the real King Nanming..."
While the officials in the imperial court were discussing, they suddenly realized that King Nanming might be dead.
When the court ministers were discussing, the Emperor of Zhou had obviously realized this a long time ago. He looked at King Nanming with a majestic and cold face, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly calmed it down.
Emperor Zhou glanced at Cheng Zhihai who was standing aside, "Can you change his appearance back?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Cheng Zhihai turned his gaze to Cheng Guang, his face filled with pride and pride, and he winked.
"Guang'er."
Emperor Zhou noticed Cheng Zhihai's actions and looked slightly startled. He didn't understand why Cheng Zhihai suddenly called Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo.
The officials didn't quite understand and were a little confused.
When King Nanming heard Cheng Zhihai calling Cheng Guang, his face darkened slightly, and he slowly squeezed the jade beads in his hand. He glanced at Cheng Guang, the prince of the country, and then looked at Princess Nanming beside him.
He already had a bad premonition in his heart.
Considering Princess Nanming's temper when facing Cheng Guang just now, coupled with Cheng Zhihai's actions at this time calling Cheng Guang.
No matter how stupid he was, he still understood that the situation in front of him was very different from what he expected.
Sure enough, the next moment, under the gaze of the Emperor of Zhou and all the officials of the court, the Prince of Zhenguo came to Princess Nanming beside him and took off the jade pendant from her neck.
Princess Nanming's face may have been tangled, but she didn't resist at all. She just sighed helplessly towards King Nanming.
Although she is the clone of the Demon Emperor, she has a certain sense of autonomy. In her current situation, let alone a change in personality, even if she is slightly contaminated with something dirty, it is impossible for her to be able to merge back with the Demon Emperor's personality. Within the body of the deity.
The consciousness of the original deity has not yet arrived.
She could live a little longer.
If the consciousness of the main body comes, she will probably die.
Whether he helps King Nanming or not, it doesn't make much difference.
On the contrary, if she helps the prince Zhen Guo, at least she can survive until his consciousness comes. If she doesn't help the prince Zhen Guo, she may be dead now.
Princess Nanming still understands this.
At that moment after Cheng Guang took off the jade pendant from Princess Nanming's delicate body.
The pendant, which was originally ordinary and only slightly delicate, suddenly emitted a faint light.
Although this light is not dazzling, it makes people feel deeply strange.
At the same time, King Nanming felt as if his body was shedding layers of skin, and as if countless pairs of invisible hands were squeezing his body.
His skin, which was originally as smooth and fair as jade, began to lose moisture and became shriveled and wrinkled. His eyes, which were originally majestic and full of nobility, also became cloudy and blurred.
King Nanming noticed his changes and was not surprised.
Holding up his black hair, the original black hair gradually changed from jet black to gray, just like the falling snow in the harsh winter, gradually fading away its color.
His figure also began to shrink, his bones became more and more prominent, his muscles gradually shrank, his face became thinner and thinner, his eyes were sunken, and his cheeks were sunken.
He already looked like an old man with half a foot already on the coffin.
Seeing this almost bizarre scene, all the officials in the imperial court couldn't help but take a deep breath and look shocked.
Queen Mother Li's old face changed, her eyes were slightly condensed, she was thin, and her five well-joined fingers tightly held the crutch, and then slowly released it.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, her originally tall and straight figure slowly became rickety.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked at King Nanming with an indifferent and majestic expression, and saw that King Nanming's face gradually changed to one where he missed the prince, even though he had already been mentally prepared.
But when this scene happened, Emperor Zhou's hand still trembled faintly, and he slowly clenched it.
Reminiscent of the fact that all the kindness he had shown towards King Nanming over the years was due to missing the prince.
Apart from the grief in my heart, what's even more important is shame.
The shame of being treated like a clown by the missed prince and having been hidden for so many years!
At this time, King Nanming could also be said to miss the prince. Although his face and figure had become older, his body was still tall and straight, standing calmly without much panic.
He looked at his pale white hair and cast his eyes on the Duke of Zhenguo and the Demon Emperor who had abandoned him for some unknown reason. Then he laughed and shook his head.
"This time, I lost again."
Emperor Zhou looked at the missed prince, suppressed his emotions, and replied indifferently: "Brother, you have never won."
"You could escape back then, but you can't escape today."
While Emperor Zhou was speaking, he raised his finger, and a bright golden light bloomed between his fingers.
The vast aura of the soul surged from his body like a tide and filled the air.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not want to have too much communication with the current missing prince.
If Prince Miss was in front of King Nanming, he would not be willing to take action, but facing Prince Miss, he could.
Back then, he should have died because he missed the prince.
Missing the prince's slightly old eyes, he stared at the Emperor of Zhou, looking at the look of the Emperor who was now confident of victory, and smiled again.
"escape?"
"Why should I escape?"
"I don't care about reputation or what people in the world think of me, but you do."
"Wu Shang, you will eventually have to bear the infamy and blood on your hands. You took away my throne. I am not willing to accept it, so I will kill you princes and princesses, the queen mother, and all the royal family members who support you. I There’s nothing wrong with that either.”
"But if you kill me, how can you face your ancestors when you return to Jiuquan?"
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was indifferent, and what he said about missing the prince was right, and it was orthodox to miss the prince.
And even if he was recognized by the Queen Mother, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty, he did not conform to the ancient system.
But, so what.
He will prove that he is a worthy emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if he is not the eldest son, he is still a competent emperor.
"Brother Imperial, you can go on your way. I won't bother you to worry about my affairs."
The Emperor of the Great Zhou waved his hand, and the vast Yuanshen outlined a series of divine images in the mid-air. The magical powers and secrets were used, and the gods were scattered with golden glow. The golden glow turned into a sharp sword light and stabbed towards the missing prince.
Facing the attack of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, the missing prince paused while playing with the jade beads in his hand, and then swung out a palm, and the power of the soul surged out. The next moment, it seemed as if countless tongues of fire were spurting out from his palm.
Countless rays of primordial power like the true fire of the sun outline a god bathed in a sea of fire, with countless tongues of fire spraying from everywhere on his body.
boom! ! !
The two hand over.
An extremely scorching light erupted, and many people could no longer see the surrounding scenery.
Cheng Zhihai used his vitality at the right time to protect Cheng Guang and the royal family behind him.
Cheng Guang looked at the battle between the Emperor of Zhou and the crown prince.
I just felt a roar coming from time to time in my ears.
There was a white light in front of my eyes.
He couldn't see the battle between Emperor Zhou and Prince Miss.
Time passed, and under this white light, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
I don't know how long has passed.
Only then did the heaven and earth regain their color.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty stood alone in the empty space, feeling lost.
In front of him, the prince's chest was stained with blood and his hair was messy. His clothes could still be kept intact, but the life in his body was rapidly losing.
He fell to the ground helplessly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and looking at the sky.
"I can not be reconciled."
"I am the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and I am really unwilling to do so."
He murmured, and relaxed his grip on Yuzhu.
His head hung weakly, and his gray hair hung down around his face, adding an extra touch of desolation.
A beam of light rose from the missing prince, a strange phenomenon was born, the color changed, and the heaven and earth were like weeping blood.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was speechless.
The officials of the imperial court did not dare to say anything more and knelt on the ground respectfully. The world was silent.
After decades of hiding and missing the prince, all his plans came to nothing.
At this time, he finally died.
The Great Zhou Dynasty may be able to completely settle down in the future.
The Emperor of Zhou waved his hand and missed the prince's corpse. The remaining soul seemed to be broken into crystals, turning into spots of light and completely dissipating.
Missing the prince is now completely dead.
Remembering that the prince had escaped once, the Emperor of Zhou would not make the same mistake and leave any consequences.
After dispersing the missing prince's body, Emperor Zhou silently raised his eyes and glanced at the majestic and tall temple behind him, stood up and walked towards the palace.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty set out first. Empress Dowager Li, Wu Yuemei, Empress Wang, as well as a group of noble concubines, princes and princesses also stood up silently and walked down the mountain.
A good royal ceremony, turned into this, has lost the interest it had at the beginning.
When Wu Yuemei passed by Cheng Guang's ear, she looked at Cheng Guang worriedly and examined his body.
"Guang'er, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Cheng Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
When Wu Yuemei heard what Cheng Guang said, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded helplessly between Cheng Guang's eyebrows.
"You, you, just be fine..."
As Wu Yuemei spoke, she suddenly noticed Princess Nanming next to Cheng Guang, and her expression became complicated.
King Nanming missed the prince, which she really didn't expect at first.
Since King Nanming misses the prince, it is still unknown what the identity of Princess Nanming, his nominal sibling, is.
And just now I saw that he has an unusual relationship with his own Guang'er.
Wu Yuemei frowned slightly and didn't say much. She just asked Cheng Guang to go back to the house first. She had to go to the palace to accompany Queen Mother Li.
Queen Mother Li suffered a lot of stimulation today, and she had to stay with her.Cheng Guang nodded in agreement, and Cheng Zhihai who was on the side also walked over at this time and looked at Princess Nanming. He knew the identity of Princess Nanming, she was a demon.
Cheng Guang told him before.
Although there is no ill intention towards this person from the Demon Clan at this time, we still don’t know what he will become in the future.
After he returns, he still has to think about how to deal with this demon.
According to his opinion, after this incident is over, the best thing to do is to directly kill Princess Nanming. Although it means killing the donkey to get rid of the trouble, he feels that there is no need to have any extra mercy for the demons.
But Cheng Guang told him not to do anything.
He didn't know the reason, but because of Cheng Guang's face, he could only give up.
"Guang'er, I will go to the palace later to help you ask for merit. You go home and rest."
With that said, Cheng Zhihai left slowly.
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei were going to the palace, so Cheng Guang took Princess Nanming back home first.
After it was over and the news got out.
There was a commotion in Kyoto.
A considerable uproar broke out everywhere.
They first heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been assassinated by the Demon Emperor and had passed away. Then they heard that King Nanming was going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died. Then the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Zhihai killed the Demon Emperor and returned.
In the end, it was even more shocking to discover that King Nanming was actually the missing prince who had disappeared for many years.
Always plotting rebellion.
The previous assassination of the Duke of Zhenguo, the subsequent martial arts competition between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, and the previous incident of smuggling the demon clan were all caused by King Nanming.
At this time, everyone was even more surprised to find out.
These things, in addition to being closely related to King Nanming, seemed to involve the presence of the Crown Prince Zhenguo.
All things are related to the prince Zhenguo, or the prince Zhenguo is involved in them.
Whether it was the martial arts competitions between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty, or the previous smuggling of the demon clan, it seems that the Prince of Zhenguo also contributed a lot.
At the same time, some people with keen intelligence were surprised to find that during today's royal ceremony, King Nanming missed the identity of the prince, and it seemed that the crown prince himself had exposed it.
The entire lamp-bearing department has long been prepared for what happened today.
Doesn't this mean that Prince Miss's plan has actually been seen through by Prince Zhenguo a long time ago?
Even though Missing the Prince caused a lot of noise, it didn't cause any casualties.
At most it would be considered a riot.
Throughout the capital, there were endless discussions about the mysterious prince.
…………
Da Zhou Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In the majestic and solemn Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials in the audience indifferently.
The original hundred officials and ministers were reduced by more than one-tenth after a royal ceremony.
The people who were originally loyal to Miss the Crown Prince, coupled with the people he had secretly bribed over the years, had unknowingly occupied so many important positions in the court.
It is not difficult to imagine that if he was really successfully attacked by the Demon Emperor today, Miss Miss Prince's plan would really come true.
Emperor Zhou was thinking, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the dragon chair, and his majestic eyes fell on Cheng Zhihai's face.
"Zhihai, it's all thanks to you this time."
At that time, he was sneak attacked by the White Tiger Demon Emperor, and his counterattack was defeated by the White Tiger Demon Emperor. He immediately lost much power to fight back. At that critical moment, Cheng Zhihai suddenly used the forbidden cage, used the exotic treasure to isolate the world, and blocked the world. The White Tiger Demon Emperor was pulled into the cage.
Not only was the Emperor of Zhou not injured, but he also got some breathing time.
The two of them worked together to kill the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
Even if you don't count the matter of missing the prince, killing a demon emperor can be regarded as a great achievement.
Therefore, when Emperor Zhou looked at Cheng Zhihai's face, his majesty softened slightly.
"The lantern holder did a good job this time and made preparations. I promised you before that if I find out that I miss the prince before the royal ceremony, I will not touch your lantern holder. Now I promise you that nothing will happen in the future. For important matters, the lampbearer will always be in your hands."
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was well versed in the ways of the emperor.
He didn't blame Cheng Zhihai for not informing him in advance.
It was obvious that the lamp-bearing department had already found out the whereabouts of the missing prince in advance, so it was enough to hide it from all the officials in the court, but he actually hid it from him as well.
The Emperor of Zhou could guess a certain reason.
However, I still felt helpless as Cheng Zhihai refused to report the knowledge and waited until the royal ceremony to take action.
This really imagines me as such an indecisive person.
The words of Emperor Zhou fell into the ears of Cheng Zhihai, but Cheng Zhihai bowed respectfully and responded:
"Your Majesty, we were able to discover the missing prince this time only because of Guang'er. If it hadn't been for him, even I would not have been able to discover the whereabouts of the missing prince for a while."
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Cheng Zhihai's words, his eyes showed surprise, and he became a little interested.
"Did Guang'er discover it again?"
"In recent times, after he joined the Lamp Holding Division, he has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats."
"First it's the matter of the demon clan, and then it's the matter of today."
"Not bad."
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials in the court could not help but sigh. They did not expect that the prince who missed the prince was actually the prince of Zhenguo.
Such a great achievement, if it fell on an ordinary person, would be enough to change his life's destiny.
Even if it falls on some high-ranking ministers, it is a great wealth.
Many officials are a little bit greedy for this credit.
At the same time, many officials and ministers also knew that although this contribution was great, it fell on the prince Zhenguo, but it seemed ordinary.
Even if the Prince Zhenguo does nothing in the future, he will still be the top dignitary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with no shortage of resources or power.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty had not yet begun to reward Cheng Guang, but now he had reached the point where there was no reward for him.
For a while, many officials were sour.
Compared with being envious of the achievements that the Duke of Zhen Guo has received this time and the rewards that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is about to bestow, he is even more envious of the skills of the Duke of Zhen Guo's reincarnation.
The Emperor of Zhou held his chin with one hand and looked at the officials with thoughtful eyes, "Well, let me think about what I should reward this guy Guang'er."
Even the Emperor of Zhou knew that for a person of Cheng Guang's status, no matter what the reward was, it was dispensable.
So he didn't plan to forcefully reward him with something that would make Cheng Guang feel happy.
"Zhihai, do you have any good opinions?" Emperor Zhou thought and cast his eyes on Cheng Zhihai.
Cheng Zhihai would take credit for Cheng Guang and not want nothing.
The Emperor of Zhou wanted to hear what reward Cheng Zhihai would seek for Cheng Guang.
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, if you let me speak, I would like to ask for a reward for Guang'er."
"Say." Emperor Zhou said.
Cheng Zhihai responded: "Your Majesty should know that my son will get married soon. Can Your Majesty come to attend the wedding?"
Emperor Zhou laughed when he heard this and shook his head, "Even if you don't tell me about Guang'er's wedding, I will attend it. Is that it?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded quickly, and then added, "Your Majesty's ability to attend Guang'er's wedding is already the best reward. There is no need to give anything else."
Cheng Zhihai spoke up.
The smile at the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth slowly solidified.
wrong.
The situation is not right.
Guang'er, a brat like me, is getting married. As an uncle, I'm going to attend. It doesn't matter if I'm casual or not, just a simple explanation is enough.
But this time Cheng Zhihai clearly wanted me to attend Cheng Guang's wedding as the emperor.
This gift cannot be simply meant.
Even trivial matters don’t work.
At least it has to be interesting.
broken.
Emperor Zhou fell silent and felt a little headache when he saw the bright smile on Cheng Zhihai's old-fashioned face.
I originally thought of just fooling around, but now it seems that it is no longer possible.
Except for the princes and princesses, no one in the world has such a privilege to allow the emperor to attend the wedding.
If Cheng Zhihai hadn't mentioned it, the Emperor of Zhou might have sent some gifts to show his appreciation, but he would never have gone there in person.
But now, not only did he have to attend Cheng Guang's wedding in person, but he also had to get a big gift along with it.
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty now only felt that his inner treasury was about to suffer a heavy blow.
…………
Cheng Guang knew nothing about what happened in the court.
At this time, he had already brought Princess Nanming back to Zhenguo Palace and went straight back to Wanxiang Garden.
Cheng Guang didn't have a good way to deal with this Princess of Nanming.
He felt uneasy just having it next to him.
But if you are tempted to kill, you may not kill Princess Nanming, but you may provoke a demon emperor later. A weak chicken like him can handle some little white rabbits like Wu Ling, but if you let him If he goes to deal with a Demon King, he is simply seeking death.
Even if he kills Princess Nanming, he will still be targeted by a demon emperor.
Having just managed to get rid of the old man who liked to stab the prince in the back, Cheng Guang didn't want to offend a demon emperor again and experience the feeling of being assassinated again.
But, then again.
Even if he doesn't kill Princess Nanming now, will the future Demon King of the Abyss let her go if he notices the abnormality of Princess Nanming's clone?
The answer is obviously no.
Therefore, if Cheng Guang does not move Princess Nanming now, it will only delay for a period of time and will not play a key role.
Cheng Guang sighed. If you can delay it for a while, just delay it for a while.
You can hide it for as long as you can.
It's also good to enjoy some peaceful days.
Being targeted by the Abyss Demon King in the future, we don’t know what kind of trouble it will cause.
Cheng Guang asked Hei Zai to exert a layer of aura suppression on Princess Nanming, so that Princess Nanming could not exert much strength, and then hid in the bedroom.
The moment King Nanming died, the system's reminder sounded in his mind.
The task of killing King Nanming, which took so long, was finally settled.
In a crowded occasion like the Royal Festival, it was naturally not easy for him to receive the mission reward.
Now that he was back in his mansion, Cheng Guang couldn't help it and immediately went back to the bedroom to enjoy the fun of unpacking the express delivery.
"System, receive quest rewards!"
Cheng Guang's voice fell.
In front of him, streaks of golden light emerged inexplicably from the void, flowing out one by one.
Slowly condense.
Gathered into the shape of a sword.
The reward for this mission to kill King Nanming is called the famous sword Tongyou.
Cheng Guang still doesn't know what level of weapon the famous sword is.
Looking at the sword blade slowly condensing in the void, I haven't gotten close enough to feel the ancient majestic aura emitting from this famous sword Tongyou.
The sword body seems to be made of the purest mithril and is decorated with complex and exquisite cloud patterns. These cloud patterns seem to be flowing spiritual energy flowing on the sword body.
The hilt of the sword resembles a majestic and slightly ferocious beast.
Cheng Guang slowly held the Tongyou Sword with one hand.
The moment Cheng Guang's fingertips touched the Tongyou Sword, the Tongyou Sword turned from illusory to real and solid.
At the same time, Cheng Guang felt a sense of intimacy coming from Tongyoujian.
He was about to pull out the Tongyou Sword and test the sharpness of the Tongyou Sword.
A torrent of information suddenly came from Tongyoujian and poured into his mind.
[Tongyou Sword Judgment]
The Tongyou Sword Jue is named after the Tongyou Sword.
Use your vitality to control the sword, and integrate the sword energy into your vitality to exert your strongest combat power.
Cheng Guang just glanced at the Tongyou Sword Art and felt that the Tongyou Sword Art was extremely complicated and obscure.
The difficulty of understanding is only stronger than Tiangang Xingdou.
It seems that it will take some extra time to master the Tongyou Sword Jue.
However, if he learns the Tongyou Sword Jue and cooperates with the Tongyou Sword, his strength can be predicted and he can advance to a few more levels.
More methods are always good.
Cheng Guang thought about it, remembered the Tongyou Sword in his heart, and then looked at the Tongyou Sword in his hand.
Holding the Tongyou Sword, Cheng Guang could clearly feel that he and his soul seemed to be integrated into one body, establishing an inexplicable connection between them.
At the same time, Tongyou Sword was enveloped in waves of vitality.
It seemed to be able to breathe like a human being, exhaling vitality, and the sharp aura all over its body was slowly increasing.
Cheng Guang himself seemed to have received some feedback.
Cheng Guang noticed this scene and said in surprise: "This sword can also help me practice."
Ordinary swords and ordinary weapons, even if they incorporate many precious resources and materials, cannot be as good as the Tongyou Sword.
There is not much difference from some precious exotic treasures.
Cheng Guang looked at the Tongyou Sword and suddenly realized that this Tongyou Sword might be a different kind of rare treasure?
Cheng Guang clicked his tongue and hung the Tongyou Sword on his waist.
Little bits of vitality poured into his body, enhancing his cultivation.
Paired with the silk silk clothes, even if he doesn't move for a day, his cultivation progress will be several times faster than that of ordinary people.
Cheng Guang walked to the bedside mirror and looked at himself.
With a sword and a fan, he looks like a handsome young man.
Cheng Guang was quite satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the food is ready, it's time to eat."
Outside the house, Qingluan's call came.
Cheng Guang heard the sound, pushed the door open and walked out. In the pavilion on the side, Qingluan was wearing a green robe and a pale white floral belt around his waist. He bent over and carried plates of freshly fried side dishes. On the table.
Black Zai gathered around Qingluan, smelling the smell of the food, staring blankly, but couldn't eat it, and was jumping up and down anxiously.
Cheng Guang sat at the table, and Qingluan carefully handed him the bowl and chopsticks.
Cheng Guang simply ate some.
He wasn't particularly hungry.
This day I was mainly mentally tired, but not physically tired.
Qingluan asked curiously what happened today.
Cheng Guang was bored, so he told Qingluan about the matter. After listening, Qingluan sometimes covered his red lips and chuckled, sometimes frowned worriedly, and sometimes exclaimed.
It's quite interesting and peaceful.
When the conversation was over and the meal was almost done, Qingluan gave the remaining meal to Hei Zai and sat with Cheng Guang in the pavilion, sipping tea and taking a rest.
Looking at the noble Princess Nanming in the courtyard, Qingluan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what will happen to this Princess Nanming in the future?"
"Should we just let her stay in the house?"
Cheng Guang glanced at Princess Nanming, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
"I plan to do this for the time being."
"This Princess Nanming is the Demon Emperor's clone after all. Now that the missing prince has been resolved, there is no need to let her leave the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion."
"If you can keep an eye on me, if there is any accident, I can suppress it as soon as possible and there won't be any trouble."
Qingluan nodded slightly.
At this time, Song Yunqi's figure suddenly stepped out of the shadows.
"Sir."
Song Yunqi called out.
Cheng Guang turned his head and looked sideways at Song Yunqi, "What's the matter?"
Facing Cheng Guang's gaze, Song Yunqi lowered his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the slave named Zhang Shunlong you ordered to find earlier has been found."
Cheng Guang's eyes lit up after hearing Song Yunqi's words.
Previously, I had been searching alone. After all, the entire Damp Holding Department was busy looking for the missing prince and could not spare any time to help him find Zhang Shunlong, the future True Yang Martial God.
Later, after he told Cheng Zhihai that King Nanming missed the prince, the lamp-bearing department had more free manpower, so he asked Song Yunqi to help him look for Zhang Shunlong.
For many days, no news came back.
Cheng Guang didn't have much hope at first, and planned to organize the manpower to search for him after the incident with King Nanming was over.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the Nanming King incident was over, Song Yunqi sent back good news.
"Nice job, where?"
Song Yunqi respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, this Shunlong is a slave in Ping'an County near Kyoto, but..."
Speaking of this, Song Yunqi's expression became a little strange.
"It's just that this Shunlong doesn't seem to be a simple slave."
Hearing this, Cheng Guang couldn't help but raise his eyes.
"Not a simple slave?"
"What do you mean?"
Before Song Yunqi could reply, Cheng Guang clicked his tongue as he thought of the information in the system task prompt.
Could it be that Zhang Shunlong has had an epiphany now?
…………
(End of this chapter)
King Nanming looked silently at the unrivaledly handsome and elegant prince Zhenguo not far away.
The calm face twitched slightly, and the jade beads in his hands slowly turned.
Then, King Nanming looked at Princess Nanming, who had a beautiful face, but looked and behaved as charmingly as an oiran. Her noble aura blended well with the charm of her face.
Very beautiful.
But King Nanming just felt that he didn't appreciate it enough.
He moved his lips a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Silently, he turned sideways and took a few steps back.
Pull out the dagger that Princess Nanming stabbed into his waist.
After all, he did not dare to do anything to Princess Nanming, the eccentric Demon Emperor's clone.
At best, he can only be a master of desktop cleaning in an incompetent rage.
King Nanming took a deep breath. After all, he still couldn't believe that the Demon Emperor's clone would abandon him. They were standing together, and the Demon Emperor would not be like this.
But the current situation before him, as well as the weird temperament of the Demon King's clone, forced King Nanming to take another look at the strange situation in front of him.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Zhihai, who were scanning the sky, turned their attention back to the prince Zhenguo.
Seeing the bright smile of the Duke of Zhenguo, King Nanming only felt upset.
Reminiscent of the fact that the previous incident of demon clan smuggling into the port was exposed, it was the prince Zhenguo who was in front of him. Could this scene at the royal ceremony also be the work of the prince Zhenguo?
King Nanming couldn't help but think, but he didn't understand how the prince of Zhenguo found out about his plan.
Did King Nanming tell him?
Should not be ah.
If it was Princess Nanming who told him this time, that would be fine.
But the last time, when the Prince of Zhenguo discovered that the demon clan was smuggling into the port, Princess Nanming had not come into contact with the Prince of Zhenguo, at least not under his sight, not in person.
Thinking about the previous martial arts competition between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, the same was true, and it was disrupted by the Prince of Zhenguo.
He himself did not hesitate to expose Qiu Zhizhen, the dean of the Great Zhou Martial Academy who had been hidden for many years and whose cultivation had reached the ninth level. His purpose was to kill the students in the martial arts competition, disrupt the relationship between Great Wei and Great Zhou, and make the two countries turn against each other. , it would be best if a war broke out.
But the result?
Qiuzhizhu died tragically.
His plan was miserably aborted.
Recall that Bai Shuxuan's previous attempt to seduce Cheng Guang failed, and the assassination operation was not only unsuccessful, but also resulted in the loss of many subordinates, including even a strong man who had reached the eighth-level king realm.
It can be said to be a blood loss.
King Nanming didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably that every move he made seemed to be noticed in advance by the Duke of Zhenguo. Every step he took made his plan miscarry.
King Nanming slowly turned the jade beads in his hand, looked at the prince Zhenguo not far away, patiently controlled his emotions, and asked:
"Did you direct this scene today?"
Cheng Guang spread his hands, "It's not me, but does it matter?"
King Nanming laughed, "It's really not important."
At this moment, Emperor Zhou and Cheng Zhihai, who were standing in the air, slowly walked down from the sky and landed not far from King Nanming.
The Shenyue Mountain, which was originally slightly turbulent, fell silent the moment Emperor Zhou appeared, and the turmoil subsided instantly.
Some rebellious officials were still struggling at first, but when they saw the appearance of the Emperor of Zhou, their faces turned pale and gave up resistance.
If the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, there will be no chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if he misses the prince, it is impossible to cause any more trouble in this situation.
At the same time, except for the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister of the imperial court, who had just closed his eyes to rest, the other five ministers did not pretend to be dead at this time.
They were thankful in their hearts that they were not hot-headed and had just supported King Nanming to ascend the throne. If not, they really don’t know what the end would be like.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Your Majesty, the demon emperor suddenly attacked, but we didn't react."
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine now. If not, I will fight the Demon Emperor until death."
"Now that the White Tiger Demon Emperor has died tragically, it is really satisfying. If he dares to attack His Majesty, this is the fate he deserves!"
The courtiers gathered around him one after another, bowed respectfully, and expressed their loyalty to the Emperor of Zhou.
The cold and majestic face of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not change at all after listening to the words of the courtiers. He only glanced at the appearance of the court officials, and then set his sights on the rebel officials.
The leader among them is Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites. He has extremely high cultivation. Before this, even the Golden Lantern and Golden Lantern arresters could not do anything to him.
The moment Emperor Zhou appeared, Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, knelt down happily on the ground, pulling his son Wen Qinghe, who was still a little confused, to kneel down with him.
Wen Qinghe now only feels as if he is dreaming. First, he said that Emperor Zhou was dead, and his father decisively surrendered to King Nanming, supported King Nanming to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and gained the Conglong Gong, and now His Majesty is alive again.
He couldn't figure out for a while what the situation in front of him was.
He just lay flat like a salted fish.
How dare you resist at all.
When Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites, noticed the Emperor Zhou's eyes falling on him, tears flowed down his wrinkled old face, his lips trembled, and he cried out.
"Your Majesty, I am really happy to see that Your Majesty is fine."
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said noncommittally when he heard this: "Happy?"
"Not disappointed?"
Wen Shouren wailed quickly: "How dare you, my minister? Everything just happened was forced by the situation. When I saw the demon emperor suddenly attacking Your Majesty, my heart was broken immediately. Your Majesty, you don't know..."
Wen Shouren wanted to cry immediately, but Emperor Zhou had no intention of listening to his nonsense anymore. He just frowned slightly and looked sideways at Cheng Zhihai.
"Is he related to missing the prince?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded slightly when he heard what Emperor Zhou said.
The Emperor Zhou nodded indifferently, looked at the traitorous officials who were kneeling down, many of whom were familiar faces, was silent for a while, and said:
"Then behead them all. Behead them all."
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, a group of traitorous officials kneeling on the ground were frightened to the point of freezing.
They did not expect that the Emperor of Zhou would be so ruthless as to kill all of them. These officials accounted for a large part of the power of the imperial court, and many nobles from aristocratic families were involved behind them.
Many officials were trembling and wanted to beg for mercy, but the police officer holding the lamp on the side did not give them a chance to beg for mercy.
If not for the sudden appearance of Emperor Zhou, they would have become fresh corpses by lying on the ground.
He immediately swung his sword and dropped it, and a large piece of his head fell to the ground.
The blood stains the dust, and the cold is like a blade.
A large number of officials around him were beheaded. The leader, Wen Shouren, seemed to be in a state of despair. His body trembled a few times and he laughed miserably. His body, which was still upright, suddenly stooped a little and he begged.
"Your Majesty, I will die if I die, old minister, but my son, my son doesn't know anything."
"Can you ask your Majesty to spare my son's life?"
Emperor Zhou did not answer.
Wen Shouren already understood what Emperor Zhou meant. He smiled bitterly and looked at his still ignorant son beside him, with regret and self-blame on his face.
A scene flashed by. Wen Shouren, the Minister of Rites and one of the six ministers who stood at the top of the dynasty, fell in a pool of blood.
Wen Qinghe had a dull look on his face, as if he hadn't reacted yet. The next moment, he felt a sting, his eyes widened, and he fell next to Wen Shouren.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The rebellious officials were killed on the spot, and the originally sacred Shenyue Mountain seemed to have become an execution ground.
Even the officials who were not rebellious could not help but feel a strong chill in this atmosphere and shuddered. Under such circumstances, they immediately acted like a coward.
dare not make a sound.
The Emperor of Zhou looked at King Nanming aside.
King Nanming's face showed a look of anxiety and concern at the right time, and said: "Your Majesty, just fine, I just thought that Your Majesty has... That's why..."
"Everything I did was wrong."
Emperor Zhou listened to King Nanming's words indifferently, and scanned King Nanming's body with majestic eyes, "You have kept me in the dark for so many years. Brother Huang is really good at it."
King Nanming slowly turned the jade bead in his hand. The jade bead rotated slightly faster. The anxiety and concern on his face faded slightly, and was replaced by a little confusion.
"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"
King Nanming had no choice at this time.
He could only bet that Princess Nanming, the Demon Queen, would not betray him, and he was also betting that the Emperor of Zhou would still have some affection for him, the King of Nanming.
Regardless of whether he is the King of Nanming or the missing prince, he is the only brother left to the Emperor of Zhou at the moment.
From King Nanming's point of view, the Emperor of Zhou valued family affection so much, and even if he could be seen missing the prince, as long as he wore the skin of King Nanming, he would not be able to bear to do anything.
The Emperor of Zhou looked at King Nanming indifferently.
At this time, the officials in the imperial court, after hearing the words of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, couldn't help but cast their eyes on King Nanming, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
"His Majesty, it seems that King Nanming really misses the prince."
"I don't know how Prince Miss Miss changed his appearance into that of Prince Nanming."
"Having said that, if the true identity of King Nanming is to miss the crown prince, then where is the real King Nanming..."
While the officials in the imperial court were discussing, they suddenly realized that King Nanming might be dead.
When the court ministers were discussing, the Emperor of Zhou had obviously realized this a long time ago. He looked at King Nanming with a majestic and cold face, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly calmed it down.
Emperor Zhou glanced at Cheng Zhihai who was standing aside, "Can you change his appearance back?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Cheng Zhihai turned his gaze to Cheng Guang, his face filled with pride and pride, and he winked.
"Guang'er."
Emperor Zhou noticed Cheng Zhihai's actions and looked slightly startled. He didn't understand why Cheng Zhihai suddenly called Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo.
The officials didn't quite understand and were a little confused.
When King Nanming heard Cheng Zhihai calling Cheng Guang, his face darkened slightly, and he slowly squeezed the jade beads in his hand. He glanced at Cheng Guang, the prince of the country, and then looked at Princess Nanming beside him.
He already had a bad premonition in his heart.
Considering Princess Nanming's temper when facing Cheng Guang just now, coupled with Cheng Zhihai's actions at this time calling Cheng Guang.
No matter how stupid he was, he still understood that the situation in front of him was very different from what he expected.
Sure enough, the next moment, under the gaze of the Emperor of Zhou and all the officials of the court, the Prince of Zhenguo came to Princess Nanming beside him and took off the jade pendant from her neck.
Princess Nanming's face may have been tangled, but she didn't resist at all. She just sighed helplessly towards King Nanming.
Although she is the clone of the Demon Emperor, she has a certain sense of autonomy. In her current situation, let alone a change in personality, even if she is slightly contaminated with something dirty, it is impossible for her to be able to merge back with the Demon Emperor's personality. Within the body of the deity.
The consciousness of the original deity has not yet arrived.
She could live a little longer.
If the consciousness of the main body comes, she will probably die.
Whether he helps King Nanming or not, it doesn't make much difference.
On the contrary, if she helps the prince Zhen Guo, at least she can survive until his consciousness comes. If she doesn't help the prince Zhen Guo, she may be dead now.
Princess Nanming still understands this.
At that moment after Cheng Guang took off the jade pendant from Princess Nanming's delicate body.
The pendant, which was originally ordinary and only slightly delicate, suddenly emitted a faint light.
Although this light is not dazzling, it makes people feel deeply strange.
At the same time, King Nanming felt as if his body was shedding layers of skin, and as if countless pairs of invisible hands were squeezing his body.
His skin, which was originally as smooth and fair as jade, began to lose moisture and became shriveled and wrinkled. His eyes, which were originally majestic and full of nobility, also became cloudy and blurred.
King Nanming noticed his changes and was not surprised.
Holding up his black hair, the original black hair gradually changed from jet black to gray, just like the falling snow in the harsh winter, gradually fading away its color.
His figure also began to shrink, his bones became more and more prominent, his muscles gradually shrank, his face became thinner and thinner, his eyes were sunken, and his cheeks were sunken.
He already looked like an old man with half a foot already on the coffin.
Seeing this almost bizarre scene, all the officials in the imperial court couldn't help but take a deep breath and look shocked.
Queen Mother Li's old face changed, her eyes were slightly condensed, she was thin, and her five well-joined fingers tightly held the crutch, and then slowly released it.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, her originally tall and straight figure slowly became rickety.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked at King Nanming with an indifferent and majestic expression, and saw that King Nanming's face gradually changed to one where he missed the prince, even though he had already been mentally prepared.
But when this scene happened, Emperor Zhou's hand still trembled faintly, and he slowly clenched it.
Reminiscent of the fact that all the kindness he had shown towards King Nanming over the years was due to missing the prince.
Apart from the grief in my heart, what's even more important is shame.
The shame of being treated like a clown by the missed prince and having been hidden for so many years!
At this time, King Nanming could also be said to miss the prince. Although his face and figure had become older, his body was still tall and straight, standing calmly without much panic.
He looked at his pale white hair and cast his eyes on the Duke of Zhenguo and the Demon Emperor who had abandoned him for some unknown reason. Then he laughed and shook his head.
"This time, I lost again."
Emperor Zhou looked at the missed prince, suppressed his emotions, and replied indifferently: "Brother, you have never won."
"You could escape back then, but you can't escape today."
While Emperor Zhou was speaking, he raised his finger, and a bright golden light bloomed between his fingers.
The vast aura of the soul surged from his body like a tide and filled the air.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not want to have too much communication with the current missing prince.
If Prince Miss was in front of King Nanming, he would not be willing to take action, but facing Prince Miss, he could.
Back then, he should have died because he missed the prince.
Missing the prince's slightly old eyes, he stared at the Emperor of Zhou, looking at the look of the Emperor who was now confident of victory, and smiled again.
"escape?"
"Why should I escape?"
"I don't care about reputation or what people in the world think of me, but you do."
"Wu Shang, you will eventually have to bear the infamy and blood on your hands. You took away my throne. I am not willing to accept it, so I will kill you princes and princesses, the queen mother, and all the royal family members who support you. I There’s nothing wrong with that either.”
"But if you kill me, how can you face your ancestors when you return to Jiuquan?"
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was indifferent, and what he said about missing the prince was right, and it was orthodox to miss the prince.
And even if he was recognized by the Queen Mother, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty, he did not conform to the ancient system.
But, so what.
He will prove that he is a worthy emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if he is not the eldest son, he is still a competent emperor.
"Brother Imperial, you can go on your way. I won't bother you to worry about my affairs."
The Emperor of the Great Zhou waved his hand, and the vast Yuanshen outlined a series of divine images in the mid-air. The magical powers and secrets were used, and the gods were scattered with golden glow. The golden glow turned into a sharp sword light and stabbed towards the missing prince.
Facing the attack of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, the missing prince paused while playing with the jade beads in his hand, and then swung out a palm, and the power of the soul surged out. The next moment, it seemed as if countless tongues of fire were spurting out from his palm.
Countless rays of primordial power like the true fire of the sun outline a god bathed in a sea of fire, with countless tongues of fire spraying from everywhere on his body.
boom! ! !
The two hand over.
An extremely scorching light erupted, and many people could no longer see the surrounding scenery.
Cheng Zhihai used his vitality at the right time to protect Cheng Guang and the royal family behind him.
Cheng Guang looked at the battle between the Emperor of Zhou and the crown prince.
I just felt a roar coming from time to time in my ears.
There was a white light in front of my eyes.
He couldn't see the battle between Emperor Zhou and Prince Miss.
Time passed, and under this white light, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
I don't know how long has passed.
Only then did the heaven and earth regain their color.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty stood alone in the empty space, feeling lost.
In front of him, the prince's chest was stained with blood and his hair was messy. His clothes could still be kept intact, but the life in his body was rapidly losing.
He fell to the ground helplessly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and looking at the sky.
"I can not be reconciled."
"I am the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and I am really unwilling to do so."
He murmured, and relaxed his grip on Yuzhu.
His head hung weakly, and his gray hair hung down around his face, adding an extra touch of desolation.
A beam of light rose from the missing prince, a strange phenomenon was born, the color changed, and the heaven and earth were like weeping blood.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was speechless.
The officials of the imperial court did not dare to say anything more and knelt on the ground respectfully. The world was silent.
After decades of hiding and missing the prince, all his plans came to nothing.
At this time, he finally died.
The Great Zhou Dynasty may be able to completely settle down in the future.
The Emperor of Zhou waved his hand and missed the prince's corpse. The remaining soul seemed to be broken into crystals, turning into spots of light and completely dissipating.
Missing the prince is now completely dead.
Remembering that the prince had escaped once, the Emperor of Zhou would not make the same mistake and leave any consequences.
After dispersing the missing prince's body, Emperor Zhou silently raised his eyes and glanced at the majestic and tall temple behind him, stood up and walked towards the palace.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty set out first. Empress Dowager Li, Wu Yuemei, Empress Wang, as well as a group of noble concubines, princes and princesses also stood up silently and walked down the mountain.
A good royal ceremony, turned into this, has lost the interest it had at the beginning.
When Wu Yuemei passed by Cheng Guang's ear, she looked at Cheng Guang worriedly and examined his body.
"Guang'er, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Cheng Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
When Wu Yuemei heard what Cheng Guang said, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded helplessly between Cheng Guang's eyebrows.
"You, you, just be fine..."
As Wu Yuemei spoke, she suddenly noticed Princess Nanming next to Cheng Guang, and her expression became complicated.
King Nanming missed the prince, which she really didn't expect at first.
Since King Nanming misses the prince, it is still unknown what the identity of Princess Nanming, his nominal sibling, is.
And just now I saw that he has an unusual relationship with his own Guang'er.
Wu Yuemei frowned slightly and didn't say much. She just asked Cheng Guang to go back to the house first. She had to go to the palace to accompany Queen Mother Li.
Queen Mother Li suffered a lot of stimulation today, and she had to stay with her.Cheng Guang nodded in agreement, and Cheng Zhihai who was on the side also walked over at this time and looked at Princess Nanming. He knew the identity of Princess Nanming, she was a demon.
Cheng Guang told him before.
Although there is no ill intention towards this person from the Demon Clan at this time, we still don’t know what he will become in the future.
After he returns, he still has to think about how to deal with this demon.
According to his opinion, after this incident is over, the best thing to do is to directly kill Princess Nanming. Although it means killing the donkey to get rid of the trouble, he feels that there is no need to have any extra mercy for the demons.
But Cheng Guang told him not to do anything.
He didn't know the reason, but because of Cheng Guang's face, he could only give up.
"Guang'er, I will go to the palace later to help you ask for merit. You go home and rest."
With that said, Cheng Zhihai left slowly.
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei were going to the palace, so Cheng Guang took Princess Nanming back home first.
After it was over and the news got out.
There was a commotion in Kyoto.
A considerable uproar broke out everywhere.
They first heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been assassinated by the Demon Emperor and had passed away. Then they heard that King Nanming was going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died. Then the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Zhihai killed the Demon Emperor and returned.
In the end, it was even more shocking to discover that King Nanming was actually the missing prince who had disappeared for many years.
Always plotting rebellion.
The previous assassination of the Duke of Zhenguo, the subsequent martial arts competition between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, and the previous incident of smuggling the demon clan were all caused by King Nanming.
At this time, everyone was even more surprised to find out.
These things, in addition to being closely related to King Nanming, seemed to involve the presence of the Crown Prince Zhenguo.
All things are related to the prince Zhenguo, or the prince Zhenguo is involved in them.
Whether it was the martial arts competitions between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty, or the previous smuggling of the demon clan, it seems that the Prince of Zhenguo also contributed a lot.
At the same time, some people with keen intelligence were surprised to find that during today's royal ceremony, King Nanming missed the identity of the prince, and it seemed that the crown prince himself had exposed it.
The entire lamp-bearing department has long been prepared for what happened today.
Doesn't this mean that Prince Miss's plan has actually been seen through by Prince Zhenguo a long time ago?
Even though Missing the Prince caused a lot of noise, it didn't cause any casualties.
At most it would be considered a riot.
Throughout the capital, there were endless discussions about the mysterious prince.
…………
Da Zhou Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In the majestic and solemn Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials in the audience indifferently.
The original hundred officials and ministers were reduced by more than one-tenth after a royal ceremony.
The people who were originally loyal to Miss the Crown Prince, coupled with the people he had secretly bribed over the years, had unknowingly occupied so many important positions in the court.
It is not difficult to imagine that if he was really successfully attacked by the Demon Emperor today, Miss Miss Prince's plan would really come true.
Emperor Zhou was thinking, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the dragon chair, and his majestic eyes fell on Cheng Zhihai's face.
"Zhihai, it's all thanks to you this time."
At that time, he was sneak attacked by the White Tiger Demon Emperor, and his counterattack was defeated by the White Tiger Demon Emperor. He immediately lost much power to fight back. At that critical moment, Cheng Zhihai suddenly used the forbidden cage, used the exotic treasure to isolate the world, and blocked the world. The White Tiger Demon Emperor was pulled into the cage.
Not only was the Emperor of Zhou not injured, but he also got some breathing time.
The two of them worked together to kill the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
Even if you don't count the matter of missing the prince, killing a demon emperor can be regarded as a great achievement.
Therefore, when Emperor Zhou looked at Cheng Zhihai's face, his majesty softened slightly.
"The lantern holder did a good job this time and made preparations. I promised you before that if I find out that I miss the prince before the royal ceremony, I will not touch your lantern holder. Now I promise you that nothing will happen in the future. For important matters, the lampbearer will always be in your hands."
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was well versed in the ways of the emperor.
He didn't blame Cheng Zhihai for not informing him in advance.
It was obvious that the lamp-bearing department had already found out the whereabouts of the missing prince in advance, so it was enough to hide it from all the officials in the court, but he actually hid it from him as well.
The Emperor of Zhou could guess a certain reason.
However, I still felt helpless as Cheng Zhihai refused to report the knowledge and waited until the royal ceremony to take action.
This really imagines me as such an indecisive person.
The words of Emperor Zhou fell into the ears of Cheng Zhihai, but Cheng Zhihai bowed respectfully and responded:
"Your Majesty, we were able to discover the missing prince this time only because of Guang'er. If it hadn't been for him, even I would not have been able to discover the whereabouts of the missing prince for a while."
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Cheng Zhihai's words, his eyes showed surprise, and he became a little interested.
"Did Guang'er discover it again?"
"In recent times, after he joined the Lamp Holding Division, he has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats."
"First it's the matter of the demon clan, and then it's the matter of today."
"Not bad."
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials in the court could not help but sigh. They did not expect that the prince who missed the prince was actually the prince of Zhenguo.
Such a great achievement, if it fell on an ordinary person, would be enough to change his life's destiny.
Even if it falls on some high-ranking ministers, it is a great wealth.
Many officials are a little bit greedy for this credit.
At the same time, many officials and ministers also knew that although this contribution was great, it fell on the prince Zhenguo, but it seemed ordinary.
Even if the Prince Zhenguo does nothing in the future, he will still be the top dignitary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with no shortage of resources or power.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty had not yet begun to reward Cheng Guang, but now he had reached the point where there was no reward for him.
For a while, many officials were sour.
Compared with being envious of the achievements that the Duke of Zhen Guo has received this time and the rewards that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is about to bestow, he is even more envious of the skills of the Duke of Zhen Guo's reincarnation.
The Emperor of Zhou held his chin with one hand and looked at the officials with thoughtful eyes, "Well, let me think about what I should reward this guy Guang'er."
Even the Emperor of Zhou knew that for a person of Cheng Guang's status, no matter what the reward was, it was dispensable.
So he didn't plan to forcefully reward him with something that would make Cheng Guang feel happy.
"Zhihai, do you have any good opinions?" Emperor Zhou thought and cast his eyes on Cheng Zhihai.
Cheng Zhihai would take credit for Cheng Guang and not want nothing.
The Emperor of Zhou wanted to hear what reward Cheng Zhihai would seek for Cheng Guang.
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, if you let me speak, I would like to ask for a reward for Guang'er."
"Say." Emperor Zhou said.
Cheng Zhihai responded: "Your Majesty should know that my son will get married soon. Can Your Majesty come to attend the wedding?"
Emperor Zhou laughed when he heard this and shook his head, "Even if you don't tell me about Guang'er's wedding, I will attend it. Is that it?"
Cheng Zhihai nodded quickly, and then added, "Your Majesty's ability to attend Guang'er's wedding is already the best reward. There is no need to give anything else."
Cheng Zhihai spoke up.
The smile at the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth slowly solidified.
wrong.
The situation is not right.
Guang'er, a brat like me, is getting married. As an uncle, I'm going to attend. It doesn't matter if I'm casual or not, just a simple explanation is enough.
But this time Cheng Zhihai clearly wanted me to attend Cheng Guang's wedding as the emperor.
This gift cannot be simply meant.
Even trivial matters don’t work.
At least it has to be interesting.
broken.
Emperor Zhou fell silent and felt a little headache when he saw the bright smile on Cheng Zhihai's old-fashioned face.
I originally thought of just fooling around, but now it seems that it is no longer possible.
Except for the princes and princesses, no one in the world has such a privilege to allow the emperor to attend the wedding.
If Cheng Zhihai hadn't mentioned it, the Emperor of Zhou might have sent some gifts to show his appreciation, but he would never have gone there in person.
But now, not only did he have to attend Cheng Guang's wedding in person, but he also had to get a big gift along with it.
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty now only felt that his inner treasury was about to suffer a heavy blow.
…………
Cheng Guang knew nothing about what happened in the court.
At this time, he had already brought Princess Nanming back to Zhenguo Palace and went straight back to Wanxiang Garden.
Cheng Guang didn't have a good way to deal with this Princess of Nanming.
He felt uneasy just having it next to him.
But if you are tempted to kill, you may not kill Princess Nanming, but you may provoke a demon emperor later. A weak chicken like him can handle some little white rabbits like Wu Ling, but if you let him If he goes to deal with a Demon King, he is simply seeking death.
Even if he kills Princess Nanming, he will still be targeted by a demon emperor.
Having just managed to get rid of the old man who liked to stab the prince in the back, Cheng Guang didn't want to offend a demon emperor again and experience the feeling of being assassinated again.
But, then again.
Even if he doesn't kill Princess Nanming now, will the future Demon King of the Abyss let her go if he notices the abnormality of Princess Nanming's clone?
The answer is obviously no.
Therefore, if Cheng Guang does not move Princess Nanming now, it will only delay for a period of time and will not play a key role.
Cheng Guang sighed. If you can delay it for a while, just delay it for a while.
You can hide it for as long as you can.
It's also good to enjoy some peaceful days.
Being targeted by the Abyss Demon King in the future, we don’t know what kind of trouble it will cause.
Cheng Guang asked Hei Zai to exert a layer of aura suppression on Princess Nanming, so that Princess Nanming could not exert much strength, and then hid in the bedroom.
The moment King Nanming died, the system's reminder sounded in his mind.
The task of killing King Nanming, which took so long, was finally settled.
In a crowded occasion like the Royal Festival, it was naturally not easy for him to receive the mission reward.
Now that he was back in his mansion, Cheng Guang couldn't help it and immediately went back to the bedroom to enjoy the fun of unpacking the express delivery.
"System, receive quest rewards!"
Cheng Guang's voice fell.
In front of him, streaks of golden light emerged inexplicably from the void, flowing out one by one.
Slowly condense.
Gathered into the shape of a sword.
The reward for this mission to kill King Nanming is called the famous sword Tongyou.
Cheng Guang still doesn't know what level of weapon the famous sword is.
Looking at the sword blade slowly condensing in the void, I haven't gotten close enough to feel the ancient majestic aura emitting from this famous sword Tongyou.
The sword body seems to be made of the purest mithril and is decorated with complex and exquisite cloud patterns. These cloud patterns seem to be flowing spiritual energy flowing on the sword body.
The hilt of the sword resembles a majestic and slightly ferocious beast.
Cheng Guang slowly held the Tongyou Sword with one hand.
The moment Cheng Guang's fingertips touched the Tongyou Sword, the Tongyou Sword turned from illusory to real and solid.
At the same time, Cheng Guang felt a sense of intimacy coming from Tongyoujian.
He was about to pull out the Tongyou Sword and test the sharpness of the Tongyou Sword.
A torrent of information suddenly came from Tongyoujian and poured into his mind.
[Tongyou Sword Judgment]
The Tongyou Sword Jue is named after the Tongyou Sword.
Use your vitality to control the sword, and integrate the sword energy into your vitality to exert your strongest combat power.
Cheng Guang just glanced at the Tongyou Sword Art and felt that the Tongyou Sword Art was extremely complicated and obscure.
The difficulty of understanding is only stronger than Tiangang Xingdou.
It seems that it will take some extra time to master the Tongyou Sword Jue.
However, if he learns the Tongyou Sword Jue and cooperates with the Tongyou Sword, his strength can be predicted and he can advance to a few more levels.
More methods are always good.
Cheng Guang thought about it, remembered the Tongyou Sword in his heart, and then looked at the Tongyou Sword in his hand.
Holding the Tongyou Sword, Cheng Guang could clearly feel that he and his soul seemed to be integrated into one body, establishing an inexplicable connection between them.
At the same time, Tongyou Sword was enveloped in waves of vitality.
It seemed to be able to breathe like a human being, exhaling vitality, and the sharp aura all over its body was slowly increasing.
Cheng Guang himself seemed to have received some feedback.
Cheng Guang noticed this scene and said in surprise: "This sword can also help me practice."
Ordinary swords and ordinary weapons, even if they incorporate many precious resources and materials, cannot be as good as the Tongyou Sword.
There is not much difference from some precious exotic treasures.
Cheng Guang looked at the Tongyou Sword and suddenly realized that this Tongyou Sword might be a different kind of rare treasure?
Cheng Guang clicked his tongue and hung the Tongyou Sword on his waist.
Little bits of vitality poured into his body, enhancing his cultivation.
Paired with the silk silk clothes, even if he doesn't move for a day, his cultivation progress will be several times faster than that of ordinary people.
Cheng Guang walked to the bedside mirror and looked at himself.
With a sword and a fan, he looks like a handsome young man.
Cheng Guang was quite satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the food is ready, it's time to eat."
Outside the house, Qingluan's call came.
Cheng Guang heard the sound, pushed the door open and walked out. In the pavilion on the side, Qingluan was wearing a green robe and a pale white floral belt around his waist. He bent over and carried plates of freshly fried side dishes. On the table.
Black Zai gathered around Qingluan, smelling the smell of the food, staring blankly, but couldn't eat it, and was jumping up and down anxiously.
Cheng Guang sat at the table, and Qingluan carefully handed him the bowl and chopsticks.
Cheng Guang simply ate some.
He wasn't particularly hungry.
This day I was mainly mentally tired, but not physically tired.
Qingluan asked curiously what happened today.
Cheng Guang was bored, so he told Qingluan about the matter. After listening, Qingluan sometimes covered his red lips and chuckled, sometimes frowned worriedly, and sometimes exclaimed.
It's quite interesting and peaceful.
When the conversation was over and the meal was almost done, Qingluan gave the remaining meal to Hei Zai and sat with Cheng Guang in the pavilion, sipping tea and taking a rest.
Looking at the noble Princess Nanming in the courtyard, Qingluan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what will happen to this Princess Nanming in the future?"
"Should we just let her stay in the house?"
Cheng Guang glanced at Princess Nanming, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
"I plan to do this for the time being."
"This Princess Nanming is the Demon Emperor's clone after all. Now that the missing prince has been resolved, there is no need to let her leave the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion."
"If you can keep an eye on me, if there is any accident, I can suppress it as soon as possible and there won't be any trouble."
Qingluan nodded slightly.
At this time, Song Yunqi's figure suddenly stepped out of the shadows.
"Sir."
Song Yunqi called out.
Cheng Guang turned his head and looked sideways at Song Yunqi, "What's the matter?"
Facing Cheng Guang's gaze, Song Yunqi lowered his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the slave named Zhang Shunlong you ordered to find earlier has been found."
Cheng Guang's eyes lit up after hearing Song Yunqi's words.
Previously, I had been searching alone. After all, the entire Damp Holding Department was busy looking for the missing prince and could not spare any time to help him find Zhang Shunlong, the future True Yang Martial God.
Later, after he told Cheng Zhihai that King Nanming missed the prince, the lamp-bearing department had more free manpower, so he asked Song Yunqi to help him look for Zhang Shunlong.
For many days, no news came back.
Cheng Guang didn't have much hope at first, and planned to organize the manpower to search for him after the incident with King Nanming was over.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the Nanming King incident was over, Song Yunqi sent back good news.
"Nice job, where?"
Song Yunqi respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, this Shunlong is a slave in Ping'an County near Kyoto, but..."
Speaking of this, Song Yunqi's expression became a little strange.
"It's just that this Shunlong doesn't seem to be a simple slave."
Hearing this, Cheng Guang couldn't help but raise his eyes.
"Not a simple slave?"
"What do you mean?"
Before Song Yunqi could reply, Cheng Guang clicked his tongue as he thought of the information in the system task prompt.
Could it be that Zhang Shunlong has had an epiphany now?
