Chapter 359 Death of the Emperor!
With the arrival of Zhou Chang, the talismans hidden in the dark appeared one by one, firmly imprisoning the woman on the stone platform at the center of the blood lock formation.
"Is it successful?"
Zhou Chang stood with his hands behind his hands and asked calmly.
The old prisoner held an old jade abacus, moved it a few times, and nodded gently: "The blood lock Gu has been completely integrated into her soul. At present, she is only under the control of His Majesty."
"So, is she Ran Qingchen or Queen Shura?"
Zhou Chang asked a question.
The old supervisor was unable to answer rigorously for a while, and said vaguely: "Maybe both."
"Both?"
Zhou Chang walked up to Ran Qingchen.
Looking at the cold and pure girl in the past, turned into the charming and cold appearance now, Zhou Chang's eyes showed a bit of complexity, which was soon replaced by indifference.
Jiang Wan, are you still unwilling to come out and save your daughter after all?
He slowly raised his arm.
Ran Qingchen's body was involuntarily pulled up out of thin air.
Invisibly, there seemed to be strands of blood wrapped around her body, and the other end of the blood thread was held by Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang tightened his fingers.
The woman's slender neck was instantly entangled with countless bloodshot threads.
With a little tightening, her cheeks turned red from suffocation, her eyes were wide open, she could hardly breathe, and she showed unspeakable pain.
Bang!
The next moment, the woman was thrown heavily to the ground again.
Seeing the once arrogant Queen Shura being toyed with and applauded by him at will, the corners of Zhou Chang's mouth turned up, and a surge of pride poured into his chest.
The previous dynasty had gone to great lengths to suppress the soul of Queen Shura.
But he can dominate Shura.
Although a whole city has been sacrificed, if you want to create a Qianqiu foundation, what does such a sacrifice mean?
As long as he controls Shura and the Shura undead army, what will happen even if Yan Rong finds the cooperation of the Snowy Divine Soldier? Even if the Demon Lord is born and leads the Demon Clan to revive, so what?
This world is his, Zhou Chang's, after all!
Sooner or later, the Queen Mother Xiao will kneel in front of her and become her slave!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chang was extremely ambitious.
But remembering how he was frightened by Yan Changqing's sword the day before and fled in embarrassment, a bit of gloom appeared in the emperor's eyes.
This is the first time since he ascended the throne that he has been so embarrassed in front of his ministers.
And the other party is just a swordsman!
What a shame.
Due to the influence of Queen Shura, Zhou Chang's temper gradually became violent. He clenched his fists tightly and his anger was raging.
But looking at Ran Qingchen who was being dominated by him at will, Zhou Chang couldn't help but ridicule.
What about the best swordsman in the world?
Can he save his daughter?
He swung his arm down violently.
In an instant, a sharp bloody iron chain appeared in the air and struck the woman hard.
The woman let out a shrill scream.
The iron chain dispersed the black mist on the woman's body, as if her soul had also dispersed.
The old supervisor behind him frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Queen Shura's soul is currently unstable and cannot bear too much damage, otherwise she may die."
"It's really boring. ”
Zhou Chang sighed and gave up the idea of continuing to vent his anger.
He stepped forward, stared down at Queen Shura with fear in her eyes, and asked: "What should you call me?"
The woman lowered her head slightly: "My lord."
Zhou Chang laughed, a smile from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at the blood-locked formation around him and said calmly: "From today on, you will follow me."
After that, he said to the old prisoner: "Come on Go to court!”
He wants to go to court.
He will bring Queen Shura to the court, and he will tell the world in front of all the officials——
You, Yan Changqing, can reach the Golden Palace with one sword!
But, I can also destroy your family!
How embarrassed I was back then, today I will repay you a hundredfold and make your life worse than death!
Going out of the door and looking up at the warm sunshine, Zhou Chang suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he waved to a guard and said lightly:
"The weather is good today. Let those in Ranfu go on their way.”
If it were before, Zhou Chang would have let the Ran family go for the sake of the overall situation and for the sake of Mrs. Ran's face.
But at this moment, full of hostility and anger, he just wanted to swat all those annoying flies to death. If you make me unhappy, then I will send you on your way!
——
The capital, Prince Zhen’s Mansion.
The woman in gorgeous clothes frowned, looking at the blue sky, the compass in her hand spinning rapidly.
The woman is Princess Yingmo, also known as Nightingale.
"How accurate is your hexagram?"
Nightingale looked dissatisfied at Zhuge Xuanji, who was feasting on roast chicken, and threw the compass in his hand over, "Eat Eat, eat, know how to eat. If our plan fails, I will never let you go, old guy!"
Zhuge Xuanji casually raised his hand to take the compass and said with a smile:
"Girl, stay calm. Judging from the astrology, the Emperor Star will definitely fall today."
Nightingale sat at the table angrily: "Anyway, I can't see anything bad about it. You old guy knows how to deceive people all day long. It's only because I was possessed that I believed your lies."
Listen. As his disciple complained, Zhuge Xuanji wiped his hands helplessly and said seriously:
"Logically speaking, Zhou Chang is worthy of being the Lord of Zhongxing, and the Emperor Star will not fall so quickly. But this guy is too Too eager for quick success, there are many things that can be solved slowly, but extreme measures must be taken.
I believe that Zhou Chang always has inner demons in his heart, and these inner demons become increasingly difficult to eliminate as time goes by. Let him go crazy and go to the abyss..."
"Jiang Wan?"
Nightingale raised her slender eyebrows.
Zhuge Xuanji stroked his beard and shook his head: "Yes, maybe not, only he knows it in his heart. In short, I will never make a mistake in asking you to take action today."
< br>He suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "How is the cooperation with Zhou Zong going?"
Zhou Zong, the second prince of Dazhou.
That is, the younger brother of the former prince Zhou Hui.
When Concubine Lan and her family were riding in a carriage, they had two conflicts with Jiang Shouzhong, including Zhou Zhong.
But compared to Zhou Huan and the third prince Zhou Min, his sense of existence has never been strong, and in the eyes of the outside world, he is also a dandy who likes to drink and have fun, and has no ambition.
After Zhou Huan died, Concubine Lan was thrown into the harem, the little princess Zhou Xiyue was killed, and he was sent to Xishu by the emperor to become a prince and enjoy himself leisurely all day long.
Few people inside and outside the DPRK cared about him.
“I thought that guy would be very timid and didn’t dare to come to the capital, but he turned out to be quite courageous and brought all his family’s money with him.”
Nightingale said, "And this guy actually bribed the city guards at some point, which is surprising."
Zhuge Xuanji said: "Born in the royal family, there are few simple roles, and they all focus on that position. The former prince Zhou Huan had a humble temperament but lacked courage and became a pawn used by the emperor to sacrifice.
The new prince, the third prince, is currently doing well, but his luck is very bad. If he had stayed in the palace before, the situation might have been different. Can be stabilized by him. However, he has gone to Shiwanda Mountain now.
As for the two princesses, they are both brainless idiots. It is not surprising that the second one is dead. Prince Zhou is here.
This guy used to be a bit clumsy and knew how to restrain himself.
Moreover, Concubine Lan was thrown into the harem, Zhou Wei died in a conspiracy, and he was still sent to be the prince of Xishu unharmed, which speaks for itself. You still have to be careful when cooperating with him. "
The nightingale nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. "
Zhuge Xuanji walked out of the house, looked in the direction of the palace, and murmured:
"The time has come to change the day. The world will finally come to an era when heroes compete for the throne. Who can have the last laugh in the end? ”
——Above the court, hundreds of officials stood solemnly.
The Jinluan Hall, which was previously damaged by Yan Changqing's sword, has been renovated, including the dragon chair where Zhou Chang is sitting on, which has been replaced with a new and more majestic golden dragon chair.
It was as if nothing had happened before.
The civil and military officials also avoided talking about it and pretended to be confused.
“Where is Yuan Anjiang?”
Zhou Chang asked aloud without seeing the figure who always straightened his back in the queue of officials.
The supervisory censor officer quickly replied: "Replying to your majesty, Mr. Guo is seriously ill. Mr. Yuan has been staying by his teacher's side to fulfill his filial piety these days. He asked the cabinet for permission earlier..."
When the official said this, Zhou Chang suddenly remembered that he had approved the note.
“Got it.”
He waved his hand, feeling a little regretful.
Yuan Anjiang had always been opposed to him imprisoning the Ran family before, and even joined other officials to file many memorials with fierce words, which made him, the emperor, very angry.
In addition, Yuan Anjiang has been interceding for Jiang Shouzhong, and he is even more dissatisfied.
If it weren’t for the sake of the other teacher’s face, he would have been dragged outside and served a meal.
Today, I planned to take advantage of Queen Shura's opportunity to slap Yuan Anjiang hard in the face, but when the other party was not there, Zhou Chang felt a little disappointed.
Zhou Chang gathered his thoughts, looked at the officials below, and then looked at the bright blue sky outside the hall door. He was inexplicably touched and said slowly:
"There is an ancient saying: If you know that success must lead to failure, then you don't have to be too strong in your pursuit of success. If you know that life must lead to death, then you don't have to work too hard to survive. Do you think that success or failure in life and death should be left to its own devices?"
He glanced at the ministers.
All the officials bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak out.
The silence in the hall was terrifying.
No one is a fool. They have all seen Zhou Chang's changes in these days, and they can clearly sense the hostility and murderous intention shown by the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Master at that moment.
Especially Yan Changqing's sword made the emperor lose face.
Even though the sky is bright and sunny at this moment, everyone has the illusion that there are dark clouds overhead.
At this time, no one wants to touch the bad luck.
Fortunately, Zhou Chang, who was in a good mood, did not embarrass them too much. He answered calmly: "Life and death can be left to nature. But success or failure cannot be.
Since I ascended the throne, , countless people advised me to let nature take its course, advised me to give in, advised me to let go, advised me to extinguish my dream of dominating the world and live peacefully in this life
Why are they trying to persuade me?
Because they don’t think highly of me, because... they are afraid! "
Zhou Chang slapped the armrest heavily.
The ministers in the palace trembled in fright and knelt on the ground.
"Come in." ”
Zhou Chang said lightly.
Everyone was a little confused, not knowing who the emperor wanted to come in.
Subconsciously, I turned around and saw a graceful and stunning woman in a black dress and red hair slowly walking into the hall.
When some officials who knew Ran Qingchen saw the woman's appearance clearly, they were all shocked.
“Your Majesty.”
The woman walked to the bottom of the steps and nodded respectfully.
In the magnificent hall, the woman is like a dark black lotus.
Obviously it is incompatible with this magnificent environment, but it is particularly eye-catching in this brilliance.
Zhou Chang stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
He looked at the vast sky outside the hall, his torch-like eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and look straight into the sky: "Although the rivers and lakes are vast, they are not as big as the heaven and earth. Even though the sword is sharp, it can't beat me. Iron Cavalry!
I want to tell the world today that this continent is my territory, and this world is also my world!
Whether it is Yan Rong, the demon clan, or the Jianghu sects in the continent... I give him life as a grace. If I don’t give him life, it’s destiny! "
In the main hall, everyone felt an awe-inspiring and aloof aura, and they were all shocked.
"Long live my emperor! ”
I don’t know who shouted first, but others started shouting one after another.
But at this moment, a sigh sounded in the palace.
"Zhou Chang."
The soft voice filled with contempt and regret seemed particularly harsh amidst the shouts of the ministers.
Everyone looked stunned and subconsciously looked at the person who made the sound.
It's actually dyed with light dust.
Ran Qingchenman moved her jade fingers, teased her blood-colored hair, and walked up the steps step by step, elegantly and calmly.
Zhou Chang frowned: "Who told you to come up, get down!"
However, the woman turned a deaf ear.
The black mist surrounding the body spread out.
Zhou Chang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He tightened his fingers and tried to use the blood lock Gu to teach this bitch who had healed her scars and forgotten the pain.
But then he was horrified to find that the blood lock Gu didn't work anymore!
I have completely lost contact with Queen Shura.
What's going on?
A chill crept up from the soles of my feet to my forehead.
“You know what? You’re playing a good hand of cards to a pulp.”
Ran Qingchen's dark lip line raised a slight arc, and said with a smile, "You are too impatient and too conceited. If you calm down and think about it, you will find that... the so-called suppressed Soul of Queen Shura is actually It's just a ray of consciousness.
So many problems and accidents happened, but you insisted on trusting your own intuition and your own judgment without any doubt.
You shouldn't have let me out so early, that's the only place that can trap me."
Ran Qingchen walked up to Zhou Chang, his eyes full of ridicule.
Zhou Chang wanted to call the inner guards and Zhao Wuxiu, but found that he could not speak, all the sounds were squeezed in his throat, and his face turned red.
He wanted to escape, but found that his legs were nailed to death, preventing him from moving.
Everyone in the hall had long been frightened.
No one dared to step forward.
“Let me tell you a secret, the Blood Lock Formation was built by me personally.”
Looking at the disbelieving emperor, Ran Qingchen said word by word: “Again Let me tell you a secret... Ran Qingchen is the real Queen of Shura. To be precise, she was the Queen of Shura in her previous life."
Snap!
The woman patted Zhou Chang's shoulder lightly.
The man who stood at the pinnacle of power in the continent fell to his knees on the ground.
Broken leg bone.
Split bones penetrated flesh.
Zhou Chang broke out in cold sweat from the pain, and could not even scream.
Ran Qingchen was sitting on the dragon chair, combing his hair out of habit. The blood-colored hair swayed gently on her fingertips, like Chi Lian under the night, adding a bit of coquettishness and mystery.
"The feeling of sitting high up is so good."
"Right?"
Ran Qingchen looked at Zhou Chang with his cold, deep eyes, Put your five fingers on the other person’s head.
Peng!
Zhou Chang’s head was crushed to pieces.
