Liu Banxian and Luo Wei hurriedly hurried and finally arrived in front of the palace gate.
It's just different from the impression, even contrary to common sense. There is no one in front of the palace wall, not a single guard.
The nine palace gates leading to the Great Inner Forbidden Palace are open, arranged from front to back, from far to near.
"The Great Inner Forbidden Palace is waiting for us with its mouth wide open."
Liu Banxian couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
After hearing from Yuan Shouwang that the Great Inner Forbidden Palace was a living creature, now he felt chills in his bones when he looked at this majestic and huge imperial city.
"How about you wait for me outside?"
Luo Wei said in a relaxed tone: "I am not a member of the Xuanmen, nor am I a martial artist from the Central Plains. If I enter, I probably won't be targeted by the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, right?"
"Who knows?"
Liu Banxian adjusted his sunglasses, "And who am I when you consider me an uncle? Going up mountains of swords and seas of fire, crossing dragon pools and entering tiger's dens, what kind of things have I not experienced? Can the Great Inner Forbidden Palace be the so-called eighteenth level of hell?< br>
Afraid? This word doesn’t exist in my, Liu Banxian’s dictionary! ”
Luo Wei made an invitation gesture, "Then shall we leave now?"
"Why don't you go and stay here for tea?"
Liu Banxian swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's go, let's go, it's time for the two of us to make a name for ourselves in the North."
"Okay!"
……
The uneasy feeling gradually disappeared in Yin Xiu's heart.
First the rolling thunder in the sky, and then the trembling from the sword's edge, made Yin Xiu feel strange and abnormal.
So much so that it became the least important thing for him to be surrounded by the imperial guards.
At this time, Yin Xiu was sitting in the palace. Sitting opposite him was a young man who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most, an age that was not very sensible yet. However, everyone called him the emperor.
His face was thin and blue, with a few strands of green stubble at the corners of his mouth. He looked like a person who had not exercised much for a long time and had a loss of appetite.
There was a lingering gloom in the emperor's expression.
"If the emperor has not given you a seat, you should not sit down."
"Really?"
Yin Xiu smiled but had no intention of getting up, "Then what should I do?"
"You should be like them."
The emperor pointed at the worried and kneeling eunuchs at the foot of the steps.
"You should be like them, kneeling on the ground, lowering your head, and not raising your eyes."
"Sorry, I don't have this habit."
Yin Xiu stretched, "I stand when others stand, and sit when others sit.
I will never let others look up at me and feel dizzy, nor will I let others look down at me and feel tired. ”
"You are really an interesting person."
The emperor smiled, as if there were some unnatural wrinkles on the flat white paper, "I have never heard anyone speak like this."
"You are the emperor, how dare others disrespect you?"
After a pause, Yin Xiu emphasized: "In fact, I don't disrespect you, I just communicate with you in an equal attitude."
"Equality?"
The emperor shook his head, "My background has determined that I have never been associated with this word.
Moreover, people are inherently unequal, whether they are unequal to me or they are unequal to you. Otherwise, why would you be sitting while they are kneeling?
If you really care about equality, then you should kneel with them. ”
"Wrong."
Yin Xiu retorted: "I should ask them to stand up or sit with me instead of kneeling with them."
"Then scream!"
The emperor nodded, "Do you think any of these people will listen to you? They don't need the equality you talk about."
"Really?"
Yin Xiu popped the gun barrel out of her sleeve, pointed it at the person underneath, "Stand up."
No one moved, they were still kneeling.
"No one seems to listen to you?" the emperor smiled.
Yin Xiu also laughed, "Really? No one of them seems to take my words seriously."
"That's natural."
The emperor took the tea cup from the plate of the entourage and took a sip. "These slaves have been growing up in the palace since they were young. For them, there is only your father and nothing else. They give everything to serve your father. This is also the law of heaven.”
"Is it natural?"
Yin Xiu's smile became even brighter, she retracted her hand, pulled the trigger, and fired at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground without even turning her head.
There was a crackle, priceless floor tiles flew into pieces, and sparks flew out.
The eunuchs stood up and stepped aside amid a burst of terrified cries.
At the same time, the imperial guards and the civil and military ministers outside the palace were fighting, and they could hardly help but rush forward.
"Look, aren't they standing up now?"
The emperor frowned and glared down at him: "Bold!"
The eunuchs immediately became frightened and knelt down again.
Yin Xiu didn't say anything, but raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and his kneeling movement was stopped by a silent shout.
"Actually, you don't have Nishikari, right?"
Yin Xiu had no intention of arguing with the emperor on this matter. He just asked about issues he cared about.
"Actually, even if the Eight-Nation Allied Forces reached Tianjin, you never left Yujing, right?"
"That's right."
The emperor admitted, "The emperor will not leave his capital, nor will he pull the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to retreat just because of the clan rebellion."
"That's it."
Yin Xiu couldn't help but take another look at the young man, "If you were not the emperor, you would probably be a very accomplished person."
"But I am the emperor."
He also looked at Yin Xiu, "This is a fact that will not change."
"I have no intention of asking you to change, because I just want your life."
"Why? We have no grievances. Even those wanted notices were issued by the Military Aircraft Department. I have never even seen them."
The emperor seemed very innocent, "It's none of my business at all."
"That's not what I said."
Yin Xiu squinted her eyes and looked at him, "I mean, I figured it out. The key to getting out of this place probably lies with you."
"Shall I give you a token so that you can travel freely?"
"No, you don't know what weird things happened to me, but it doesn't matter."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "I said, all I want is your life, because you are the master of this forbidden palace.
If you die, many problems may be solved. Whether it is the Great Inner Forbidden Palace or Kyushu, there will definitely be changes. "I don't know where your theory comes from, but I don't care." ”
The emperor pointed outside, "It's just that I don't think those people outside will agree."
"Really?"
Yin Xiu glanced outside the palace. There were about 800 Forbidden Army soldiers standing there.
No longer talking to the emperor, Yin Xiu stood up and walked straight out. After the smoke evaporated, the Wind-Mocking Sword appeared in his hand.
He stepped across the threshold in one step, faced the dark crowd, and placed the Wind-Mocking Sword on his shoulder.
"I have no grudges against you, but that doesn't matter."
Yin Xiu's cold eyes glanced at the unfamiliar faces, filled with nervousness and murderous intent.
"Whether you want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, fulfill your duties faithfully, or you want to be promoted to a noble position, have a glorious family name, be rich and powerful, whatever you want is fine. If you want to fight with me, just come forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Forbidden Army soldier stabbed Yin Xiu with a gun.
Yin Xiu threw the scabbard on the ground with a swipe, passed by the soldier, and his head fell to the ground.
The blood stimulated people's eyes and hearts, making everyone's breathing quicken and become intense.
At a level invisible to these people, countless blood-red chains shot out from Yin Xiu's body, connecting these Forbidden Army soldiers.
Khorne Link!
Yin Xiu's feet almost burst into flames, and he crashed into the crowd, causing a burst of blood mist.
The cry of killing shook the ancient capital for thousands of years and broke through the sky.
The square made of white marble and the steps were covered with blood.
The blood with body temperature reached the person's ankles, and later turned into brown mud with an earthy smell, which made people feel as if they were stepping in a swamp, making it difficult to walk.
Relying on the continuous recovery and ability acquisition of [Crimson Romantic] and [Khorne Link], as well as the body protection of the three-color dragon and tiger aura, Yin Xiu formed an army by himself, constantly beating down the imperial soldiers and Ouchi masters who rushed towards him. The Forbidden Palace monster was chopped to the ground.
Soon, around him, corpses were piled up one after another.
Yin Xiu held a powerful master under his arm and raised his sword towards those who still wanted to rush forward and surround him.
"Come!"
The master Ouchi's neck snapped. Yin Xiu dropped the body and jumped into the crowd again. Among the hundreds of unfamiliar faces, he found a master of the synaesthesia realm and stabbed the blazing famous sword Chaofeng into it. The other person’s chest.
At the same time, Yin Xiu was slapped on the chest by the man and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The dragon-tiger aura protected his heart meridians, preventing him from being shattered by a palm.
After killing the great master, [Khorne Link] injected part of the deceased's life force into Yin Xiu's body to help him regain his strength and repair his injuries.
Turning around without stopping, Yin Xiu was fighting with another person again.
The emperor was sitting in the main hall, looking at the battle outside, frowning.
Of course, he didn't have any emotions because he saw the guards fall, because the guards were consumables, they would always die, and they always needed to be replaced.
It's not because Yin Xiu's iron fist is invincible and one person can kill so many people, because life and death are just a matter of a moment, and you will always die if you want to.
There was only one problem that troubled the emperor, and that was that he was so close that Yin Xiu could reach out to his throat and cut it off.
However, Yin Xiu gave up and turned to deal with the Forbidden Army first.
The emperor was puzzled by this.
"It's very simple, Your Majesty, Yin Xiu is a man of great ambition, just like Commander Ren, oh no, just like Ren Qi."
Dewei led several of his subordinates to the foot of the steps inside the palace, bowed respectfully, and turned their backs to the outside of the palace, completely ignoring the fierce battle outside.
Although the emperor was not very happy to see Dewei, his appearance at least made him feel at ease.
"Are you saying that he is doing this just because of his temporary anger?"
"More than that, Your Majesty."
Dewey was like a kind old scholar who knew everything, patiently answering the emperor's questions.
"He wants to prove that the Great Inner Palace is no different from other places."
The emperor understood what Di Wei meant, and Yin Xiu wanted to use blood to wash away the royal majesty.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
However, after Yin Xiu fought such a battle in the Forbidden Palace, others would discover that the emperor, who was as high as a god, was not omnipotent.
At least there was one person who could break into the Great Inner Palace, leave behind countless corpses, and then leave quietly, while the emperor could do nothing but watch.
This is something that makes anyone’s scalp tingling when they hear it, but at the same time, they can’t help but feel inspired.
This incident will prove that the emperor is nothing more than an ordinary person.
However, to accomplish this, two conditions are needed. One is that the emperor dies, and the other is that this matter is spread beyond the palace walls of Ouchi.
To stop this, there is only one condition, which is to kill Yin Xiu and his party.
The emperor looked at Dewei.
Dewey lowered his head lower.
"Manager Di, Yin Xiu has survived until the second day in the palace, right?"
"The slave is incompetent."
Di Wei's face was gloomy, "No matter how powerful Yin Xiu is, there are always many experts in the Forbidden Palace who can kill him.
However, for some reason, he was blessed by the luck of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, which allowed him to run almost unimpeded in the palace. He was even more at home than those worshipers and was very difficult to deal with.
As far as the slave knows so far, only Prince Jade can stop him. ”
"Then go and invite Prince Jade."
After the emperor finished speaking, Dewei did not respond and just lowered his head.
"Oh?"
He understood something. He knew that there was no such person as Prince Jade in the world before, and there would never be one in the future.
Prince Jade was left in the Forbidden Palace forever.
"What about you?" the emperor asked again.
"Before he obtained the luck of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, I was 40% sure. Now, even 10% is difficult." Diwei told the truth.
The emperor asked again: "He received the luck of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace and was invincible in the palace. However, those worshipers also received the favor of luck and had been in the palace for who knows how many years. Why did they all die? ”
Dewey didn't know how to answer.
Because he has not been favored by the fortune of the Forbidden Palace, nor is he enshrined in the Forbidden Palace. He is just the general manager of the palace.
When the emperor saw this, he waved his hand and turned away the eunuch who was about to come forward to serve him. He placed one hand on the handle of the dragon chair and leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand, looking very depressed.
This was an etiquette and behavior that should not appear in the emperor's etiquette, but no one reminded him at this time.
Dewei also knew that this was the emperor's unique thinking posture. Even though he looked melancholy and decadent, he always had a sense of depression and solemnity of the last monarch.
However, this young emperor was indeed thinking of his own. Unlike the stereotypes of late dynasty monarchs in history, he did not look like a mediocre or weak monarch.
The emperor always made people dare not deceive him, and they couldn't bear to deceive him.
After a long time, the emperor came back to his senses from the long examination, but he had no intention of sitting upright.
He just sat slumped on the dragon chair, looked at Yin Xiu not far away, sighed, and then expressed his judgment in a calm tone.
"Maybe this forbidden palace is about to change its owner." (End of Chapter)
