Chapter 178: The Romantic Song of the Celebrity·Twenty-four

The little emperor fell into an unprecedented hesitation.

It was not that he did not believe Xiao Hao, but choosing to believe Xiao Hao was tantamount to admitting that Wang An was the one with ulterior motives, which was also a heart-wrenching blow to him.

Whether it was the old man who had taken care of his daily life since he was a child, or the teacher whom he respected and loved like a teacher and a father, they should all be family members.

But why would one of them want him to die?

Is this the true face of the royal family?

He frowned, and his heart was cold.

Emotionally, he was unwilling to judge either party, but reason was forcing him to make a choice.

Wang An had already shouted: "Someone come - rescue the driver -!"

But this was just like what he had said to himself before, Wei Ziyun and his people had long been lured away by the competition in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When a swordsman learns that the two most famous swordsmen are fighting right in front of him, no one can stay in the house quietly.

No one would come to rescue him.

However, a person really fell from the sky.

White clothes are whiter than snow, a fairy from the sky.

Ye Gucheng.

Wang An laughed and said to the little emperor, "Here he comes, we are saved!"

The little emperor took a deep breath and suddenly looked up at Xiao Hao.

He finally understood what Xiao Hao wanted him to understand, but he had never thought that being an emperor would be such a lonely thing.

It's lonely at the top.

He gradually calmed down, but his face remained calm, as if he was shaking with anger.

Wang An said: "City Lord Ye is the master of this traitor. He discovered the Southern Prince's plot to seize power and usurp the throne, so he agreed to the competition in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight and came to rescue him!"

The little emperor nodded lightly without saying a word, looking quite disappointed.

Ye Gucheng raised his sword and said to Xiao Hao: "Please."

Xiao Hao silently turned his head and glanced at the Southern Prince, who calmly accepted his gaze, completely different from the crying little prince just now.

Xiao Hao knew that Wang An had set a trap for him.

Wang An's greatest reliance and confidence was his position in the heart of the little emperor. Xiao Hao had to admit that Wang An's move was very good.

But it was only good.

He knew a few years ago that the Southern Prince's Mansion wanted to usurp the throne, and of course it was impossible to be completely defenseless.

The four brothers of the Yu family were the exclusive guards that Xiao Hao had found for the little emperor. Except for Shi Zhixuan and the other three, no one knew that they were always lurking around to protect the little emperor.

Wei Ziyun and the others were not there, but the little emperor knew in his heart that there was someone around him.

Xiao Hao had thought about reminding the little emperor to beware of Wang An, but on the one hand, he wanted the little emperor to be a wise ruler, but he didn't want him to be a ruthless emperor. If he had to be on guard against even the closest people, it would undoubtedly sow the seeds of suspicion in him, making him unable to truly trust anyone in the future.

When a monarch begins to be suspicious, he will slowly become stubborn and self-willed, which is not what Xiao Hao wants to see.

Secondly, Wang An was very cautious and never slandered Xiao Hao in front of the young emperor. If Xiao Hao always tried to make the young emperor beware of Wang An, the young emperor would think that Xiao Hao was biased against Wang An, and the balance in his heart would be more inclined towards Wang An.

The Southern Prince has indeed been quite honest in recent years. Although he has been pulling together officials who oppose reforms in the court to denounce him, the censors are used to scolding him. Xiao Hao can't really do anything to the royal relatives. The so-called usurpation of power is empty talk, and if he messes up, he will be bitten back and framed by the prince.

Xiao Hao has always hoped that the young emperor can learn how to distinguish lies from the truth and see through the human heart under the surface. And when the critical moment comes, he must remain calm and know what cards he has in his hand and how to get out of it safely.

Wang An will betray him sooner or later. Xiao Hao asked the little emperor to do error correction questions, not multiple-choice questions.

Now the person who puts this multiple-choice question in front of the little emperor is Wang An.

In Xiao Hao's view, any trap designed by taking advantage of the feelings between people is shameful and despicable.

He taught the little emperor the sword of the emperor, the majesty of the emperor, the wisdom of listening to both sides, and the tactics of classics and history, but he did not teach him to be suspicious of everything and see enemies everywhere.

Wang An tore the most cruel truth directly in front of the little emperor, and even tried to let him choose an enemy from those who are close to him and those he trusts.

He really thinks his life is too long.

Xiao Hao himself was reluctant to stimulate his apprentice too much, but Wang An dared to rely on his face.

He sneered and was in a bad mood.

As a Changge, when he is in a good mood, he plays the zither, and when he is in a bad mood, he plays the sword.

He glanced faintly at the Prince of the Southern King behind him. The Prince of the Southern King was frightened by his eyes and could not help but take several steps back.

Xiao Hao opened the save file of Gu Ying Hua Shuang and placed a few shadows next to the main body for confusion. He was on guard against the Prince of the Southern King. He opened Qing Jue Ying Ge and rushed towards Ye Gucheng who was blocking in front of him.

With his sleeves raised and the light shining, Qing Ge broke the night.

Ye Gucheng finally waited for this moment.

He knew that Xiao Hao was angry, but if being angry could make him have a thorough fight with him, there would be nothing wrong.

Tonight, he gave up the sword fight with Ximen Chuxue for the ambition of the Southern King, but at the same time, he could challenge an opponent who was not inferior to Ximen Chuxue.

I am drunk and want to sleep, please go away. I will bring the zither tomorrow.

He came.

Xiao Hao did not disappoint him, he pulled out the sword from the zither case.

Ye Gucheng's sword moved, the sword light was faster than the thunder in the sky, and the sword power was more brilliant than the long rainbow in the blue sky and white clouds. No one in front of him could avoid this extremely fast sword. Even Lu Xiaofeng would wonder if his fingers could hold this invincible move.

The distance between him and Xiao Hao shortened rapidly. Xiao Hao did not dodge at all. Before Xiao Hao touched him, he swung out a sword-feather.

Ye Gucheng's footsteps suddenly stopped.

This nearly perfect sword was so easily defeated by the opponent!

Wang An once again realized how terrifying Xiao Hao's martial arts were.

Even Ye Gucheng, who was also very skilled in swordsmanship, might not be his match. Wang An knew that he had to move forward with his next plan.

He pulled the little emperor and whispered something in his ear eagerly. With

every extra word he said, the little emperor's expression became colder.

Ye Gucheng missed his first attack, and his fighting spirit became stronger. Xiao Hao did not disappoint him. He used all his strength in one attack, but still could not defeat Xiao Hao in one move.

He was shocked to find that he was hit by Xiao Hao's sword energy and his feet could not move.

A chilling and cold sword intent came over his face. Ye Gucheng just raised his head and saw Xiao Hao's sword shadow stabbing over.

Ye Gucheng actually didn't understand why Xiao Hao had to divide his extra internal strength to maintain those clones, but he could see that this black clone was different from those other translucent clones. It had a kind of pure power.

Ye Gucheng has always been pursuing the realm of unity between man and sword. He thought that perhaps Xiao Hao was using this method to achieve his unity between man and sword.

Although these two swords seemed to be powerful, in the eyes of a sword master like Ye Gucheng, their flaws were obvious. Ye Gucheng felt that Xiao Hao's move was quite soft.

Xiao Hao gathered the qufeng methodically. Every time Ye Gucheng was able to move, a sword·feather lock was used. When the qufeng was full, the sword·zheng smashed down with a frightening sword force.

Ye Gucheng's eyes lit up. This sword was very different from the previous one!

The moon was as bright as water, but this sword seemed to freeze all the coldness and transparency of the moonlight, like a flowing silk, a falling meteor, and snow falling from the clouds on both sides of the Yishui River. In silence, it carried the power of frozen sky and white river.

Ye Gucheng blocked the sword with his feet locked. The coldness penetrated his heart and swept from the tip of Xiao Hao's sword. He seemed to hear an unknown sad sound in his ears.

His true energy was stagnant in his chest, his internal organs were turbulent, his face was even paler than when he first came, but his voice was steady: "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Xiao Hao said indifferently: "The Changge Sect does not ask about the song, the sword of the change sign."

Ye Gucheng sighed: "If it weren't for the situation today, we wouldn't have to fight to the death in this duel."

Xiao Hao had limited time to switch swords. He saw the opportunity and ate his saved shadow. His skills flowed back to the state of just entering the battle, and he switched swords again to face Ye Gucheng.

There was an unusual movement from the side and back. Xiao Hao turned his head and saw the prince of the Southern King holding a sword in his hand, approaching the little emperor step by step.

He immediately understood Wang An's plan and said to Ye Gucheng coldly, "You are a man from the outer world, why do you want to degrade yourself in the world of mortals?"

Ye Gucheng stopped him, and suddenly curled the corners of his lips very lightly, shaking his head and saying, "So you don't understand either."

Xiao Hao was slightly stunned, but he did not stop his movements. His killing skills were activated, and the horn of his sword stabbed out with a destructive sword aura.

Ye Gucheng looked at the little emperor not far away. Although he knew that he could not stop this sword, he still used all his strength to display the outer world flying fairy that he was proud of.

Perhaps in this world, only the young man in the palace understood it.

He was indeed a lonely swordsman.

Ye Gucheng once again said the same words as a few years ago: "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

The sound of swords piercing flesh and blood rang out, but it did not belong to either of them.

Xiao Hao's sword horn failed to hit, but Ye Gucheng's Flying Fairy was still going strong, but he missed, and the black shadow disappeared in front of him.

Wang An looked at the Prince of Nan Wang in shock, and he never thought that he would fall into the hands of the Nan Wang.

The sword of the Prince of Nan Wang pierced Wang An's intestines and stomach, and blood splashed all over the little emperor.

The Prince of Nan Wang smiled and said, "General Manager Wang, you are so loyal to your master, I really respect you." But there was no respect in his eyes.

Wang An didn't know that he was going to die in this trap he set up.

He is a person who wishes to live longer than the heavens, and will not let himself die first.

But the Southern Prince was very satisfied with this situation, and in order to make it fully effective, he decided not to tell Wang An about this.

This old eunuch has caused enough trouble over the years, and it is worth it for him to die for the great cause.

Wang An said "you..." for a long time, but could not say a complete sentence.

The Prince of the Southern Prince turned around and said to Xiao Hao: "Thank you, Lord Xiao, for holding back City Lord Ye. Lord Xiao has worked hard. After I put down the rebellion, I will build a temple for Lord Xiao to repay his kindness."

The little emperor silently looked at Wang An, who died with his eyes open, with extremely complicated feelings.

Xiao Hao's shadow-moving speed was extremely fast. Even so, as soon as he appeared behind the Prince of Nanwang, Ye Gucheng caught up with him and forced him to leave the two cousins. Xiao

Hao frowned and asked the little emperor, "Your Majesty?"

The little emperor closed his eyes.

The Yu brothers protected him, and four swords pointed at the Prince of Nanwang who was completely unprepared for their appearance.

He forced himself to smile and replied to Xiao Hao, "Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you doubt them."

This was his answer.
