Chapter 772 Traitor

The emperor turned into lightning in the high sky, killing everyone in all directions like a thunder god, easily defeating the unimaginably huge monster. The people below who were divided and surrounded by a group of soldiers looked at it in dazzling awe.

In the eyes of these people, the emperor is somewhat sacred. The emperor is as unattainable as the gods in the sky. Seeing the emperor fighting at this time naturally deepens this impression. At the same time, the people also know that the emperor He is fighting against evil spirits, and there is a clear distinction between good and evil. Naturally, his heart is extremely eager for the emperor to win, and his emotions are gradually leaning towards the emperor.

After all, the gods sitting in shrines and the gods rescuing people in distress are completely different. In addition to awe, the latter can also gain reverence and love. This is the so-called "people's heart".

Seeing that the emperor became more brave as he fought and was able to protect himself from evil spirits, the people who were evacuated separately couldn't help but stop and shout excitedly and cheered, and even started to cry. They were pushed away again, while those who had not had time to evacuate all knelt down and worshiped. On the ground, the mountains shout long live.

"Foolish man and foolish woman...it was clearly the emperor who caused the trouble. He was just dealing with the trouble he caused. Even before he had dealt with it, you are actually being grateful. You deserve to be treated like ants."

Among the common people, a young man who was dressed inconspicuously saw this scene, and his eyes flashed with deep disgust and hatred. He not only hated these ants who did not know right from wrong, but also hated the inappropriate ants who seemed to be cooperating. Of course, the emperor's reputation-building monster is the one he hates the most, but he never dares to say it out loud. He only mocks him in his heart. After all, he just escaped death.

Yes, even though he is inconspicuous now, with a dark complexion and looks like a commoner exposed to the weather, in fact, a moment ago he was dominating the Jinding Tower, almost becoming the most powerful person in the world.

This young man is, of course, King Shun.

Just a moment ago, His Royal Highness Prince Shun refused to accept the fate of suicide and took the risk to jump off the Golden Cauldron Tower and hide in a locust tree. Then the emperor's thunder and lightning struck, splitting the tree into charcoal. Everyone thought he was dead, but little did they know that he had already arranged an escape route. There was a substitute swordsman in the locust tree, which happened to replace him. This time, he was very lucky. When his front legs left, the hiding place of his back legs was struck by lightning. A moment later he would have been hopeless.

After escaping from death, he quickly put on the old clothes he had prepared a long time ago, darkened his face, and blended in with the people. Only then did he escape, but he only escaped the immediate concern for his life. The follow-up plan was temporarily No need to think about it.

Although he was extremely angry at this time, he was also frustrated. Thinking about how high-spirited he had been in drawing up the grand plan before and around him, he felt so disappointed now. He even complained a little bit about Mr. An, the only loyal minister beside him who came to help him: Although I know your loyalty, aren't you known for your resourcefulness? In the past, you used to give advice and make it seem like you were a great talent who had no clues. But from the beginning, you fell into someone else's trap and planned a joke. How dare you be a counselor? If I had known earlier, I would have been better off being treated like salted fish by the imperial master. At least I would not have lost my glory and wealth now, unlike today when I was miserable and panicked and had nowhere to live.

Of course, even though he was in such a state of despair, he would not fall out with the only loyal minister in front of him, but he was not in the mood to be polite to the virtuous corporal anymore, so he turned his back and stopped looking at Mr. An.

At this time, I heard someone say: "Master."

He was startled and realized that the voice was calling him, and the voice was very familiar. When he turned around, he saw a long-lost acquaintance crowded in the crowd, and he was surprised: "You..."

This man was wearing a bamboo hat, with white beard and white hair exposed from under the bamboo hat. He was the swordsman who was the most trusted swordsman around King Shun before. After King Shun was killed, he had discussed it with Mr. An and went out to find Marquis Gao Yuan to rescue him. He never came back, but now he actually saw him here again.

King Shun was overjoyed at first, but then he remembered something and frowned: "Lao Cheng, are you back?"

Nacheng Swordsman took a step forward, bowed and said, "Young Master, I am so happy."

King Shun almost turned his head with anger when he heard this. Now that he is in this situation, he has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. How can he be happy? Congratulations to your eight generations of ancestors! If I hadn't been in a state of despair now, I would have given you some clues.

However, Cheng Jianxia suddenly seemed to lose his composure. Instead, he took a step closer and said: "Sir, it doesn't matter whether you gain or lose temporarily. You can just laugh at the setback just now. There is a kind of happy event in front of you. If it comes true, it will be doubled... …”

"shut up!"

A low shout came from behind King Shun, and it was Mr. An who rushed over. Although it was inconvenient to get angry in the crowd, he could still see that he was suppressing his extreme anger. He glared at Cheng Jianxia, ​​and even took a step forward to stand between King Shun. With Cheng Swordsman, this meant using his body to protect King Shun.

"You're a traitor and a spy. It's not enough to harm the young master once, but you dare to come back to confuse the public. What's your conspiracy this time?"

The Cheng swordsman also darkened his face and shouted: "An Shaoqian, you have to be careful what you say. What does it mean to be a traitor? I am His Highness's most trusted confidant and have been loyal for generations. How dare you be rude?" Mr. An sneered: "If If you are not a close confidant, you can't harm His Highness to such an extent. But you were the first to bring the news about the man who was accidentally killed. You also prepared various supporting evidence to convince us. Later, we contacted King Shou and the Imperial Master. It was you who suggested step by step, follow the steps over there, why do you think it was such a coincidence? "

When he mentioned this, Prince Shun also reacted. If he thought about it carefully, it was really the case. The origin of all this was that the news of the manslaughter was brought by Cheng Jianxia. The reason was also very simple. Prince Shun's old relationship in the palace was all It was laid by the generation of the old King Shun. The old man was in charge at that time. In the next generation, King Shun grew up in Youzhou and no longer understood the affairs of the palace. He could only rely on the old man. What the old man said basically meant what he said.

Thinking about it this way, the suspicion of becoming a swordsman is really quite high. King Shun secretly thought: This old guy has been missing for so long. He must have escaped after completing his mission, but now he appears again and he still wants to use me? You won't be willing to change to another one without chewing all my bones, right?

Nacheng Swordsman said categorically: "Young master, don't listen to his nonsense. I am definitely not a spy of the emperor. I have never betrayed my master. I dare to swear to God that if I lie, I will die without a burial place."

What he said was very sincere, but King Shun didn't believe it so easily. If he wanted to swear, he could have said it more sincerely.

However, Mr. An sneered and said: "I see, I underestimated you. You are really not the lackey of the palace. You are worse than a lackey. You actually took refuge in heaven..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped.

King Shun was behind him and couldn't see his expression, but when he heard his voice break, he took a closer look and found that the aide seemed to have turned into a sculpture and was motionless.

He was extremely panicked, and he quickly stretched out his head to look at Mr. An's face, and saw that his eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and his face was permanently frozen with shock and anger. He's actually... dead!

King Shun only felt his scalp numb. Before he could get angry, he first felt a burst of fear from his heart, and stammered: "You..."

Cheng Jianxia's face seemed to have torn off a mask, becoming twisted and unruly, and he roared: "Damn it, you bitch! I have good intentions towards you, but there is a traitor around you! You are really confused because of the traitor and you don't listen to me. ! Now that the traitor is dead, you should listen to me, right?"

King Shun just felt like the world was spinning. Although Mr. An didn't finish his last words, he understood: This guy is a traitor, and his master is not the emperor, but a demon from outside the territory!

He came here to cast himself into the devil!

But I don’t want to be a demon!

Trouble with demons is the most devastating evil in the world. Even the emperor cannot bear the crime of treason with demons. How can Prince Shun dare?

However, in this situation, does he have any choice?

At this time, King Shun could not help but show despair on his face.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Jianxia probably guessed that he had guessed it, so he simply stopped pretending, bared his teeth and said: "Your Highness, please be quiet, the throne will come soon, and then all emperors and state advisors will be nothing more than clowns. Just wait and cooperate, and you will be able to be the master of the world in a while. Isn't this what you dream of? Don't be surprised by what you see in a while. !”

As he spoke, he took off his bamboo hat, threw it into the sky, and then...

In the sky, the emperor cleared the battlefield with wild thunder, leaving only the thunder light wrapped around his body, forming a thunder armor on the spot.

He was very proud at this moment, and with a thought, the thunder light condensed on his head and tail, grew horns and scales, and transformed into a real dragon. The emperor is wearing a yellow robe, standing alone, with a dragon coiling around him, just like a god descending from a dragon.

There was an exclamation from below.

Where have ordinary people seen this? I had always known about the "True Dragon Emperor", but now I saw it for real, and combined with the majesty of defeating the demon before, I was even more excited. Ignoring the fact that there were still Yulin guards behind me, they all fell to the ground and shouted "long live the mountain" again.

The emperor heard the call in the air, and his heart became more and more energetic, thinking: Today the envoy knows how noble the emperor is! In the past, when the ministers worshiped me, it was all a lie. Even if they were sitting on a wooden dragon chair, they would worship me. But after worshiping, they could do as they pleased. Whenever my orders conflicted with what they had in mind, they would obey them and even disobey them. turn a deaf ear. But today I am here, and these people worship me sincerely, treating me as the Son of Heaven. The officials and clan below will never dare to disobey me again. Although there are only hundreds and thousands of people in front of me now, when my sword moves forward to fight, everyone in the world will gradually bow. From now on, I will no longer go out with my sword in person. Wherever the sword points, the people of the world will be hit by me. Then I will be the true master of the world!

He thought clearly here, his confidence was boosted, and he felt that nothing was difficult in the world. Suddenly, he heard a cry of surprise at his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw an old man suddenly rise up from the crowd at his feet and suddenly died!

After the explosion, the space seemed to collapse, revealing a small hole from which countless Yin energy erupted!

"What is it?" The emperor was shocked and was about to swing his sword to destroy it when he saw someone finally coming out of the hole.
