Chapter 374 From now on, there is no more Prince of Yan in the world (Part 2)
Blood from the broken finger of Xia Zhixu kept dripping onto the ground. He was horrified because he had not expected Zhang Jue to attack him. He immediately shouted, "Zhang Jue! Are you crazy?"
Zhang Jue held a knife in his hand. This ordinary-looking man looked straight at Xia Zhixu and raised his hand slightly.
Suddenly!
The soldiers who surrounded the place drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were pointing at Xia Zhixu.
Seeing this scene, Xia Zhixu immediately looked at Xiao Podi and others.
But when he saw that Xiao Podi and the others were indifferent and looked like they were watching a show, he immediately clenched his teeth.
I cursed a few words in my heart.
Zhang Jue, this ordinary man, looked at Xia Zhixu and said, "The only person I am loyal to is the prince. The prince killed the prince, and I avenged the prince. That's all."
As he said this, he walked towards Xia Zhixu with the knife in hand.
When Xia Zhixu saw Zhang Jue coming over, he ignored the hand with the severed finger and immediately pulled out the snake-shaped dagger from his waist with his other hand. Then he growled, "My father was killed by Xia Fengxiang. What does it have to do with me? You are here to find..."
But just at this point, Zhang Jue said, "It's true that it was the emperor who killed him, but you poisoned the prince, and even though you knew he would die if he went to the capital, you still encouraged him to go."
Xia Zhixu stepped back, looking at the man in front of him who had obviously made up his mind, cursing in his heart, how could this happen!
but.
call out!!
Just as Xia Zhixu was retreating, several arrows fell behind him, as if warning him not to retreat anymore, or as if they were deliberately blocking his way.
Xia Zhixu looked back and saw this. His face turned grim. He looked at the archers around him and shouted, "I am your master! Don't forget that it was my father who fed you and gave you your current status!"
Zhang Jue did not stop and looked at Xia Zhixu: "Our master has always been only the prince, and the prince has never asked us to be loyal to you."
Just as he finished speaking, the blade of the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and he was about to attack again.
Xia Zhixu realized the difference, and his expression changed slightly. He immediately looked at Xiao Podi and the others who were standing still and watching: "Xiao Podi! Aren't you going to protect me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Podi said, "I told you before that I would escort you to meet General Zhang. Aren't we meeting now?"
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu's expression became even more ferocious.
Damn it!!
These bastards!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhixu looked at Zhang Jue and decided to strike first, so the moment the snake-shaped dagger in his hand trembled slightly, he bent down and rushed straight towards Zhang Jue!
A member of the Chentuo Sect standing next to Xiao Podi said, "Little Junior Brother, don't you always say that once the work is done, the next thing has nothing to do with you. Our mission is to protect you and meet General Zhang. Now that you have met him, it naturally has nothing to do with us."
When Xia Zhixu heard this, he cursed in his heart, but he had no time to care about these things at the moment.
Xia Zhixu's body was extremely fast, swaying like a swimming dragon, and he actually dodged Zhang Jue's first knife!
And seeing this scene.
"Senior Brother, can Xia Zhixu win?" someone asked Xiao Podi.
While asking the questions, his hand was on the scimitar at his waist, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait to do it himself.
Xiao Podi spat out the melon seed shells: "If he keeps practicing, not to mention Zhang Jue, even you guys are no match for him. But don't forget, he himself gave up martial arts, and even claimed that having his soldiers is enough, so why practice martial arts? So now he is just struggling to survive."
Just as Xiao Po Di finished speaking!
"ah!!"
A scream resounded through the forest again!
However, Zhang Jue shook his body and directly avoided the dagger in Xia Zhixu's hand that was about to stab him.
When Xia Zhixu stabbed the air, he was immediately exposed.
Zhang Jue raised the back of the knife in his hand and placed it directly above Xia Zhixu's arm, then chopped it down without any hesitation!
The knife caused cracks on the snow on the ground.
Afterwards
Above the crack was an arm with a palm attached.
In a flash, the white snow turned red and the ground was also dyed red.
A scream came out of Xia Zhixu's mouth, and Xia Zhixu hurriedly stepped back, covering his broken arm with exposed bones and flesh with his finger-broken hand. His face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot.
But Zhang Jue.
But he was neither hasty nor slow, and had no intention of killing Xia Zhixu with one knife.
Instead, he looked at the broken arm on the ground. This burly but ordinary-looking general raised his eyes to Xia Zhixu and said, "Prince, your brother and I have been through life and death together. He once told me that if he couldn't sit on the throne, he would help you to be the King of Yan. But if you kill him, this arm will be considered interest."
When Xia Zhixu heard this, the severe pain made his mind a little dazed.
but!
Xia Zhixu knows.
Die!
If I do nothing, I will definitely die!
So Xia Zhixu immediately looked at Xiao Podi and the others: "Xiao Podi!! Are you just going to watch me die like this? How are you going to explain to your Queen Mother when you go back? Don't forget that I am your Mobei Prince Consort!"
Xiao Podi heard this and said calmly, "Why do you think the Queen Mother would care about you, a prince of the King of Yan who is now in name only? In other words, why would the Queen Mother care about you when you no longer have troops and horses at hand and you no longer have that position?"
When Xia Zhixu heard this, he was stunned.
Xiao Podi continued, "Everything you have was given by your father, not earned by yourself. But you think you have it by nature, and even think that you can get it by killing your father, and you even kill your elder brother. Your elder brother's prestige in the army and the Yan territory built by your father are nothing to you. Junior brother, have you forgotten that you are actually nothing?"
At this point, Xiao Podi looked at Xia Zhixu and said, "Junior brother, the knife is coming, hide quickly."
Xia Zhixu was stunned, but in the next second he immediately felt something. He turned around and saw the cold light reaching his head!
He was so shocked that he stepped back immediately!
But it was too late after all!
Cut it down with one knife!
Suddenly, blood splattered on Xia Zhixu's chest, and a hideous wound appeared.
Amidst the blood, the whole person collapsed to the ground.
One arm was broken.
Broken finger.
There are such hideous wounds on his body.
At this moment, Xia Zhixu was covered in blood and his face was pale.
Xia Zhixu looked with bloodshot eyes at Zhang Jue who was using the gap between his arm armor to wipe the blood off the blade.
wrong
wrong!!
Why is this happening? This shouldn’t be the case!
I am the prince of Yan, and that old man Xia Chenfeng is dead, so I am now the King of Yan!
Moreover, I am the King of the Southern Court of Mobei, and I am the one who is going to marry the daughter of the Queen Mother of Mobei.
but
Why things turned out like this.
I haven't appeared in this chaotic world yet. I haven't led the Mobei army to conquer the Central Plains and seize the throne from that woman Xia Fengxiang!
Why should everything belong to her? Why?
Why can she get everything without doing anything and even marry a woman like Su Changan!
How am I worse than him? Why don’t I have it?
so.
wrong
It shouldn't be like this, I haven't finished what I want to do!
Zhang Jue put the blade in his hand against Xia Zhixu's neck: "This knife is the interest you paid for poisoning the prince."
Feel the coldness of the blade.
Xia Zhixu stared at Zhang Jue blankly.
It was a feeling I had never experienced before.
The feeling that it's going to end, that everything is going to be over, the feeling of fear from the bottom of my heart, the feeling of regret for everything.
These are all feelings that are very familiar and yet very unfamiliar to Xia Zhixu.
Familiarity is because.
It seemed like he liked to see these feelings on other people's faces.
When was the most recent one?
Oh, yes, Lao Meng.
This was probably how Lao Meng felt when he completely collapsed before.
besides
This was the feeling I had the first time I killed someone, when I killed that girl who always smiled and won the hearts of everyone in the sect!
That's how it feels.
but
Can't die!
I can't die, I can't die yet
Xia Zhixu was panting heavily, with blood constantly flowing out of his mouth, but he stared at Zhang Jue: "I, I can't."
Zhang Jue's eyes were cold, "Next, I will send you on your way, Prince."
Xia Zhixu's hand trembled as he grasped the blade that Zhang Jue had placed on his neck, and his lips moved: "You don't..."
I don't know what he was saying. When he opened his mouth, his voice was unclear and I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
Xiao Podi came over at this time and looked at Xia Zhixu: "Junior brother, when Junior sister was thrown into the snake cave by you, was she the same as you?"
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu looked up at Xiao Podi. It was unknown what he was saying, but his eyes were full of pleading.
The two people next to Xiao Podi looked at Zhang Jue and said, "General Zhang, can we let our brothers come for this last chance? We have been wanting to kill him for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue glanced at Xiao Podi and slightly raised the knife in his hand.
But it’s just this moment!
Xia Zhixu's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and the last bit of internal strength in his body burst out suddenly, and the whole person rushed directly towards the slope on the side!
And of course
Xia Zhixu was seen rolling down the slope at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this scene, the two people from the Chentuo Sect frowned immediately and planned to chase after them.
However, Zhang Jue said, "Don't rush to chase him. He will definitely die in this area."
After saying that, he didn't say any more to Xiao Podi and the others. He waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding soldiers put away their bows and arrows.
Zhang Jue looked towards the steep slope, saw Xia Zhixu rolling down, and turned back to look at Xiao Podi: "We just need to go down slowly."
Xiao Podi looked at Zhang Jue, smiled slightly, but said nothing.
The two people from the Chentuo Sect looked anxious, afraid that the little beast would escape!
So take the lead.
This time, Zhang Jue did not try to stop them, but looked at Xiao Podi and added, "There is a bandit camp at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is blocked by heavy snow, so they must be short of food."
Xia Zhixu didn't know what was going on with him.
He only knew that it hurt!
My whole body hurts!
but
One thing he was sure of was that he had to survive!
To survive!
Then take revenge!
Kill them all!
Kill them all!
So, you must survive!
Bang!!
The noise startled the bandits who had dug holes under the snow at the foot of the mountain to hide mice.
These bandits were all very skinny. When they heard the noise, they were frightened and quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
"It seems to be a person!"
"Let's go! Go and take a look!"
"Brother, it's a person! It's really a person! And damn, this person is dressed really well, but it's all blood!"
"What's the matter with the blood? Take it off and we'll wear it. It's not like we haven't seen blood before! Have you forgotten the scene when the barbarians came last year?"
"What did this guy do? His arms and everything were chopped off."
"Money! Big brother! This guy has a money bag and jade! We are rich! What is this, paper? What is written on it?"
"What can you do for me? You can't even read."
"This money is not enough for us brothers to survive the winter."
"Brother, how about eating it? Use the same method as last year."
"Alive! He's still alive, brother, he's still alive!"
"Fuck him! How dare you stare at me!"
…
The bandit leader saw Xia Zhixu's eyes staring at him and his lips moving, so he immediately picked up a stone and smashed it directly on Xia Zhixu's head!
Seeing their boss do this, the skinny bandits on the side picked up stones and sticks at hand and started smashing them at Xia Zhixu.
Xia Zhixu originally just looked at the bandit and wanted to say "save me".
But I didn't expect it to happen like this suddenly.
but.
I don’t know why Xia Zhixu can’t feel the pain anymore.
and
Inexplicable.
Xia Zhixu saw a girl with a bright smile, who looked at him and said, "Little brother, do you want some candy? It's so sweet."
He was the last disciple of Master Wuxiang of their Chentuo Sect.
But in fact, Xia Zhixu was called a passing disciple, but Master Wuxiang accepted the girl again.
Then
Everyone began to pamper the little girl.
Xia Zhixu felt sick just looking at this girl, so...
He killed her.
And now.
The girl he killed seemed to be squatting in front of him, still looking at him with a smile, "Little brother, you are dead too. Hehe."
Looking at this smile, Xia Zhixu completely lost consciousness.
"Dead."
A bandit looked at the motionless corpse and said immediately.
After hearing this, everyone stopped.
The bandit leader reached out and touched the part of Xia Zhixu's nose that was not smashed. After a while, he said, "It seems he is dead."
But after saying that, the bandit leader said as if he didn't care: "Who cares, second brother, go get the axe, chop off the head and throw it away. If you hit him too hard, his face will be smashed. It's disgusting to look at!"
One of the bandits immediately turned around and left.
One of the bandits was still rummaging through Xia Zhixu's belongings, but apart from the paper, some silver and a jade pendant, there didn't seem to be anything else. But looking at the jade pendant, he said, "Brother, this guy looks like he's not ordinary. I've only seen jade this good on the nobles in the city."
The bandit leader took it and looked at it. He also found it to be a good thing, but he spat at the bloody stone of Xia Zhixu with disdain: "Damn it, who cares who he is? Even if this guy is the Prince of Yan, we still have to kill him! Hurry up, go back and boil some water. I've been hungry for two days. I almost don't have the strength to speak!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately started to take action.
Xia Zhixu's head was chopped off by an axe and thrown down the steep slope.
And his body was taken away by those people who had hidden in the mountains and started to become bandits when the barbarians invaded Yan last year.
For the convenience of taking it back.
These bandits, who were already used to seeing blood and flesh, cut the corpse into pieces.
Fresh blood was clearly visible where Xia Zhixu's body had just been, blending with the snow.
but
It's strange to say, there was a piece of paper next to the place covered in blood. That piece of paper should have been the easiest to be stained with blood, but apart from being a little wet by the snow, there was no blood on it at all.
The wind blows.
The paper flew up in the wind.
There were three ugly words written on it.
'It should be heaven'
but.
The bandits didn't notice that right above their heads, where they could be seen, there were several figures watching what they were doing.
Xiao Podi looked at the backs of the bandits, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Zhang Jue: "General Zhang, what are your plans next?"
Don’t mention Xia Zhixu.
Just like
It's not worth mentioning anymore.
Zhang Jue looked at Xiao Po Di and turned to walk back the way they came. "General Xiao, you should hurry up with me. If you go slower, you will run into Marshal Meng Qin's troops. Not only will you not be able to leave, but you may even lose your life in Yan."
Xiao Podi looked at Zhang Jue's back and smiled: "General, it seems that you have known it for a long time. All our plans in Mobei from the beginning are to make you surrender to Mobei, or to make you completely lose your foothold in Daxia."
Zhang Jue didn't say anything, but continued walking forward with a cold expression.
[Barrier] Zhang Jue, the most powerful general under the command of Prince Yan, was also a well-known man who was loyal to Prince Yan and not to Daxia. Many people in Yan obeyed orders but not decrees, and only recognized Prince Yan, Xia Chenfeng, and it all started with Zhang Jue.
At the same time, he is also the general that the people of Mobei want to kill the most!
Because several attacks on the Yan territory of Daxia were blocked by Zhang Jue.
If this person is not eliminated, it will be a great obstacle for the Mobei army to move south in the future!
Sudden
Zhang Jue looked down at a tree stump in the distance and saw Xia Zhixu's head stuck in the stump.
But Zhang Jue just glanced at it and ignored it, looking forward.
"Fang Wenhe, did you predict this again? Or did you deliberately let Xia Zhixu do this?"
In the past, Zhang Jue had a conversation with a man named Mr. Fang.
On that occasion, Fang Wenhe asked Zhang Jue who would be the best successor to the throne of King of Yan.
Zhang Jue immediately replied, "Sir, please don't talk nonsense. The prince has already appointed a prince, and we are loyal to him."
Fang Wenhe smiled and shook his head, "The throne will definitely be his, but I feel that the general will be the one who will benefit the most in the end."
Zhang Jue was shocked when he heard this.
Fang Wenhe continued, "If Xia Zhixu dies in the future, it will most likely be at the hands of the general. A jar of wine, do you want to make this bet or not?"
Zhang Jue frowned, "I, Zhang Jue, will never commit murder!"
Fang Wenhe smiled but said nothing, and finally said, "You can't, but he can."
Zhang Jue was surprised.
Fang Wenhe smiled and said, "General, just remember that you are not in control of yourself, and you are not in control of yourself. Moreover, the world is a chessboard, and all of us who enter the game are chess pieces. No one knows who holds the chess pieces."
Ps: Let me tell you something from my heart. Okay. That’s it.
