Chapter 179: The Romantic Song of the Celebrity·Twenty-Five
Xiao Hao smiled with relief.
The little emperor could start his apprenticeship.
He did not disappoint himself. The little emperor's answer was exactly what Xiao Hao wanted to teach him.
The little emperor knew clearly about Wang An's betrayal, but at the same time, he did not give up his willingness to trust others.
Xiao Hao saw the little emperor calmly and calmly ordered the four brothers of the Yu family: "Behead."
The four brothers of the Yu family are quadruplets. The four brothers are in tune with each other. The seven swords interweave into a sword net and perform the Flying Fish Seven Star Sword. This sword formation ranks among the seven great sword formations in the world and has few rivals.
The guards Xiao Hao found for the little emperor are of course the best guards in the world.
Although the Prince of the Southern King had learned swordsmanship from Ye Gucheng since he was young, his swordsmanship was far inferior to Ye Gucheng's.
The Prince of the Southern King had beads of sweat on his nose and looked at Ye Gucheng frequently.
This time, it was Xiao Hao who got ahead of Ye Gucheng. He smiled and said to Ye Gucheng, "Lord Ye, you came to rescue the driver. Now that the crisis has been resolved, do you see the situation clearly?"
Ye Gucheng frowned coldly, and the veins on his sword-holding hand bulged, but he did not move.
He took a deep look at Xiao Hao, and actually left the Prince of the Southern King behind, turned around and ran away.
The Prince of the Southern King was completely stunned.
According to the original plan, he pretended to be in cahoots with Xiao Hao, and Wang An would speak in front of the emperor to make the emperor believe that Xiao Hao was the one who cooperated with the Southern King's Mansion to usurp the throne. Then Ye Gucheng pretended to rescue Xiao Hao and held him back, not giving him a chance to explain himself. He took advantage of the fight to get rid of the emperor.
The Southern Prince didn't know who was more important in the emperor's heart, Wang An or Xiao Hao. To be on the safe side, he directly eliminated the candidates for the emperor.
He wanted the Southern Prince to kill Wang An in front of the emperor to prove that Wang An was "loyal to his master." When Wang An died to protect the emperor, the emperor's balance would definitely tip toward the dead man who helped him until his death.
Even if Xiao Hao once occupied a supreme position in his heart, a living person cannot compare to a dead person.
As long as the emperor believed that Xiao Hao wanted to murder him, their plan would be more than half successful.
Ye Gucheng held Xiao Hao back, and Wei Ziyun and his bastards were not around. The emperor was isolated and helpless, and no one could save him. The Prince of Nanwang learned sword from Ye Gucheng, and he was confident that he would not lose to the emperor with a leg disease.
When he successfully killed the emperor, their plan would be successful.
Even if by some chance he failed to kill the emperor, Ye Gucheng would buy all the time for the Prince of Nanwang to escape. The Nanwang Mansion had prepared fast horses outside the palace gate to meet him at any time, so the Prince of Nanwang could escape unscathed. After this incident, the emperor had lost trust in Xiao Hao, and their plan was actually successful.
In this plan, the most core person was actually Ye Gucheng.
No one would doubt Ye Gucheng's sword.
As long as Ye Gucheng took action, the Prince of Nanwang would not worry about being in danger.
When he saw the four brothers of the Yu family suddenly appear, he knew that he could not kill the emperor today. But it doesn't matter, Ye Gucheng will help him, these four people are not Ye Gucheng's opponents at all.
But he didn't know what Xiao Hao said to Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng actually abandoned him and ran away? !
The Prince of Nanwang found it unbelievable.
According to the original plan, in this situation, they should abandon the car and the marshal, leaving Ye Gucheng to hold Xiao Hao and the little emperor, so that they can take the opportunity to escape? !
The Prince of Nanwang, who was abandoned by Ye Gucheng, began to tremble.
For a moment, he understood Ye Gucheng's behavior.
Ye Gucheng came to "rescue the driver". When the situation changed from two to two to three to two, and he was still one of his own who came to "protect the driver" in the eyes of the enemy, he could have chosen to make the situation four to one.
What is this? Turning sides in the battle?
Prince Nan was so angry that he couldn't get rid of the pent-up anger in his chest, and he was about to suffocate himself.
What a Xiao Hao, what a Ye Gucheng, before the great cause was accomplished, they started to plot against each other.
He was still thinking of abandoning the car bodyguard and letting Ye Gucheng die for him, but Ye Gucheng had already pulled himself out of this vortex.
He didn't know that when Ye Gucheng first met Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao had reminded him of the so-called "extrication". Ye Gucheng's behavior today was completely because Xiao Hao's pretense had gotten to his heart.
The victorious king defeats the enemy. He looked at the swords of the Yu brothers stabbing at him in despair, staring at the little emperor with a look of satisfaction and hatred, and finally shouted to Xiao Hao: "Master Xiao! Save me!"
It doesn't matter, his father will avenge him, and his cousin will no longer trust Xiao Hao. He thought so.
But what made his eyes pop out was that Xiao Hao had stood with the little emperor without knowing when. The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, asking about each other's well-being, one saying "Your Majesty is great" and the other saying "The teacher taught me well", without any sign of discord.
The blood that the Prince of Nan had been holding back spurted out on the spot.
He fell down, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction of the little emperor and Xiao Hao.
Why...
He would never have the chance to understand the answer to this question again.
The young emperor was still in shock. Although he looked calm, he was still shocked. He said coldly to the corpse of the Prince of the Southern Palace, "Fortunately, the master had prepared for this, otherwise..." After
the four brothers of the Yu family resolved the danger, they hid again and disappeared from their sight.
The young emperor felt that the wind was a little cold tonight. He remembered what Wang An said to him, took out a few stacks of paper from his arms, and tore them into pieces without saying a word.
This was the evidence of the correspondence between Xiao Hao and the Southern Palace that Wang An gave him, showing their conspiracy to usurp the throne.
But fake is fake after all.
There was a moment when he wavered, wondering if all of Xiao Hao's protection was just an illusion, with the purpose of gaining his full trust and then replacing him.
But he thought of a not-so-small incident that had happened before.
The fool named Lu Chou Chong had accused Wang An.
At that time, Wang An wanted to commit suicide to prove his innocence, but the little emperor stopped him. It was true that Wang An was beside him, but if Wang An really had him in his heart, he would not choose to die in his hands. It would also be disrespectful to stain the dragon robe with blood.
It was just because of that position that the little emperor could easily reach out and stop him, and he also knew that the little emperor would definitely stop him.
The little emperor sighed quietly, and felt more and more that being an emperor was so difficult, so lonely, so damn cold.
He dared to curse only in his heart, and must not let the master hear it.
He asked curiously: "My dear minister, didn't
you ask me what I tore?" Xiao Hao glanced at him: "Your Majesty didn't ask me why I brought the Prince of the Southern King here?"
The little emperor laughed and felt a little better.
Only those who don't know ask, and those who know don't ask.
Some things don't need to be explained.
"But that Ye Gucheng..." The little emperor actually felt that Ye Gucheng was a little magical. The only thing he didn't understand tonight was Ye Gucheng's position. Is this an enthusiastic third party knight, or is he in cahoots with the Southern King? Why did he run away in the end?
Being able to fight with the master for such a long time, the Lord of Baiyun City is also a handsome guy, but his brain doesn't seem to be very good.
Xiao Hao calmly plucked the strings of his zither and said, "No hurry."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Gucheng fell from the sky again.
After Shi Zhixuan threw him down, he casually shook out the beauty fan and fanned himself under the full moon in late autumn. A few strands of hair on his temples moved in the wind, as if this would make him look more graceful in front of Xiao Hao.
Wei Ziyun, Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuxue, the honest monk, Sikong Zhaixing... Many people rushed over. Wei Ziyun led the imperial guards to kneel in front of the little emperor and said, "I am late in rescuing the emperor. Please forgive me, Your
Majesty." The little emperor frowned, and every move he made was dignified and noble. He was so proud that he could not be looked at directly. It was the demeanor of a young emperor. "Forgive me, you are not guilty."
For the last time, he was so close to this world. He also truly realized that he did not belong to this world.
"Wang An colluded with the Prince of Nanwang to usurp the throne and has been executed. From today on, the Nanwang Mansion will be sealed up and the remaining gangs will be wiped out."
"Your Majesty obeys your order."
The little emperor looked at Ye Gucheng on the ground calmly, but his heart was tangled with worry. Judging from the attitude of the gentleman, this man is most likely a traitor, but... it seems that he has been under the banner of protecting the emperor from beginning to end, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As if seeing the little emperor's thoughts, Ximen Chuxue took a step forward, and an indescribable pressure suddenly enveloped the little emperor.
The little emperor suddenly said: "Have you fought with swords?"
Ximen Chuxue said: "I will not take advantage of others' misfortunes."
The little emperor frowned and said: "His life must be saved."
Ximen Chuxue did not move, silently conveying the heavy pressure like a mountain.
Xiao Hao had promised the little emperor that he would take him to watch the fight tonight. With so many martial artists coming, it would be quite disappointing to let them return in vain. He heard that the little emperor had already decided whether Ye Gucheng should stay or go, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the two greatest swordsmen in the world are here. Why not let this duel end well?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "You want Ye Gucheng to fight Ximen Chuxue with swordsmanship when he is in this state?"
Xiao Hao took a look at Ye Gucheng's injuries. Shi Zhixuan was really very measured. There was only one drop of blood left, and he was in a perfect state of severe injury, half-dead.
"I have a unique secret technique that can restore him to his full strength in an instant, but it can only last for fifteen breaths. After fifteen breaths, there will be no Ye Gucheng in this world."
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. Not only him, but all the people who were listening were shocked.
Wei Ziyun shouted, "Master Xiao, you must not be confused! What if he runs away..."
Xiao Hao said, "Wei Shiwei, don't be excited. I said that the person I pulled up can only live for fifteen breaths. If he can stand for the sixteenth breath, I will resign and let you be the chief assistant."
Wei Ziyun was silent. Well, now Ye Gucheng is half dead, and Master Xiao will be dead after saving him. It seems that it is a good plan to watch an ultimate duel.
When the young emperor heard the word "resign", he shuddered and said with a cold face: "Just as you said, you should go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony as soon as possible and don't disturb my sweet dreams here." The emperor was actually very interested in the sword, and he must not let others know. The young emperor was aloof and generous. In front of outsiders, he still knew how to pretend.
The emperor had spoken, so naturally no one dared to disobey.
Everyone returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Shi Zhixuan took the young emperor to leave last. Except for Xiao Hao, no one knew that the two of them were still following.
The mind is so clear that it is reflected in the water without a trace.
The reflection of the cup of water After reading the note, Ye Gucheng stood up again.
He had a sword in his hand, and opposite him was Ximen Chuxue who also had a sword in his hand.
Ye Gucheng was aware of his situation and was relieved.
Xiao Hao is very strong, but his sword does not kill people, so there is no life or death in a duel with him. Ximen Chuxue is different. Ximen Chuxue believes that it is a kind of honor for both parties to die under the sword.
Ye Gucheng is very grateful for Xiao Hao's actions.
Hearing the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.
Xiao Hao can help him in this way.
