Martial Cultivator

The officials from the Ministry of Works left, but soon came back, bringing with them a number of craftsmen and began to measure the damage. A lot would happen tonight, but it would have little to do with them.

They were just anxiously thinking about how many of their acquaintances from the Ministry of Finance would be left when the storm was over. The Ministry of Finance was already known to be stingy, and they didn't know if they would still get money from there this time. Wouldn't it be that smooth?

Thinking of this, several Ministry of Industry officials couldn't help but sigh.

On the contrary, the palace servants in the imperial city just came with wooden buckets and began to clean up the blood stains. The story was a story between big shots, and they only did what they were supposed to do.

They shouldn't worry about other things, and they can't worry about them.

Li Heng held a lantern and watched the palace people clean up the blood stains, watched the officials from the Ministry of Industry sighing around them, and listened to the faint sounds coming from outside the imperial city.

After a while, Li Heng walked towards Bailu Garden with a lantern, but did not find His Majesty the Emperor. He thought that His Majesty the Emperor must be in a complicated mood tonight, and he did not want anyone to disturb him, but Li Heng always felt that he should Accompany His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, in this huge imperial city, I am the only old servant who can speak to His Majesty the Emperor.

So Li Heng started walking around the imperial city with a lantern. From a distance, it looked like a moving particle of light.

…

…

Perhaps it was because others were talking tonight, so Chen Chao said a lot before he drew his sword to kill, but after everything that needed to be said was said, it was time to kill.

The second prince took a deep breath, and suddenly a storm surged in the courtyard.

The clear water in the pool was gradually boiling as if it had been stirred by someone at this moment.

As the son of the most invincible martial artist in the world, the second prince did not choose to practice martial arts, but instead entered the ranks of monks. This in itself was his contempt for martial artists, and perhaps the reason why Emperor Liang never liked him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Chao remained silent. He just took one step forward with the knife in his hand and stepped hard on the ground. For a moment, the entire ground was torn apart by powerful energy, and countless cracks were directed toward the person in front of him. The second prince spread away.

The second prince's expression changed slightly, and he rolled up his sleeves. The water in the pool behind him surged, broke out of the pool, and surged directly into the sky with great force.

The Liang Dynasty was based on martial arts, but it never lacked exquisite cultivation methods. What's more, as a prince, the second prince has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and his foundation is not bad. If it weren't for scheming over the years, he would have been guessing the emperor's preferences. , I'm afraid there are really not many young people in the Liang Dynasty who can compare with him.

The water in the pool was like a dragon, rushing towards Chen Chao. The second prince was furious.

He smiled and said, "Even if I have to die, I will take you with me."

Chen Chao turned a deaf ear and just watched the water dragon rush towards him. He did not make any move, but let the dragon's head hit him. In an instant, the dragon's head shattered directly, and a water dragon broke instantly, turned into water, and scattered on the ground.

Chen Chao's black shirt was soaked by the water, but he didn't have any other injuries. Chen Chao, who was still walking forward, looked at the second prince in front of him and said calmly, "What? Do you really think you can kill me?"

The second prince's face was ugly and he was a little in disbelief.

In an instant, Chen Chao had arrived in front of the second prince. He did not swing his sword, but just punched the second prince.

The second prince crossed his hands in front of his chest, but was still hit hard by the punch and flew into the rockery behind him, sinking deeply into it.

Chen Chao came to the rockery, stretched out his hand to pull out the second prince, and smashed it to the ground.

The second prince spit out a large mouthful of blood and felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

Chen Chao looked down at the second prince and smiled.

The smile was a bit contemptuous.

The second prince looked up at Chen Chao, gritted his teeth and said, "Concubine!"

Chen Chao frowned when he heard these two words and asked curiously, "What does it have to do with it?"

The deposed emperor had used this to mock Chen Chao before, but Chen Chao never thought it had anything to do with it.

As he said himself, he never thought that this world would be passed on to him, and he never wanted this world.

In this case, why does identity matter?

"If identity is really useful, I should be the one lying here right now, not you."

Chen Chao sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, I also know that this day will definitely come after I made my decision and parted ways with you that day."

Chen Chao pressed the tip of the cloud mud knife in his hand against the second prince's heart and looked at the cousin in front of him with no emotion in his eyes.

The second prince just looked at Chen Chao fiercely.

Chen Chao waited for a long time and finally shook his head.

"After saying so many words, I originally thought you would end it on your own, but in the end you still asked me to take action."

"Do you really dare to kill Gu?!"

The second prince suddenly laughed, showing his teeth full of blood.

After saying this, Chen Chao suddenly grinned, "Do you think I

There will be a lot of scruples and I will not kill you, but you seem to have forgotten that it was you who wanted to kill me first. "

"The Marquis of Huainan wanted to kill me, so I killed him. My brother wanted to kill me when he was young, so I killed him too. When I was the guardian of Tianqing County, many demons wanted to kill him. I, I killed them, and then those Qigong practitioners also wanted to kill me. Many people wanted to kill me, so I killed them all.”

Chen Chao looked at the second prince in front of him calmly, "Why do you want to kill me and I will let you go?"

"Is it because your surname is Chen?"

"Is it because our grandfathers are the same person?"

Chen Chao shook his head to himself, "No, there is no such truth in the world, and I don't understand the truth very well. I only know that if you want to kill me, I will kill you."

After finishing speaking, Chen Chao grasped the handle of the knife and stabbed it hard.

There was a pop.

It was the sound of a sharp weapon passing through flesh and blood.

Chen Chao looked at the painful face of the second prince in front of him, at the blood that was constantly pouring out of his mouth, and at his eyes that were first filled with fear, then disbelief, and finally lifeless.

The hilt slowly turns to snow white.

Chen Chao slowly drew out the knife and turned around.

The knife is dripping blood.

When he was almost in front of the gate, Chen Chao sheathed his sword and the handle turned pitch black.

Chen Chao stepped out of the second prince's residence. Chen Chao looked up at the sky and whispered, "I'm sorry, but I'm not wrong."

…

…

The gods were all in chaos, and the imperial city was rarely peaceful. Emperor Liang slowly came to the mountain outside the imperial city, where his most important person was buried.

The guards looked at His Majesty the Emperor, who was slowly approaching, and did not speak. They just remained silent.

His Majesty the Emperor came to the Queen's tombstone and stopped slowly.

The queen's tombstone is still neat and tidy, and someone cleans the dust every day.

Emperor Liang slowly sat down in front of the tombstone, then took out a jug of wine, slowly poured some wine on the ground, and said softly, "My second brother is dead. When I see you underground, why would you scold me as a father and say that I am mean?" , saying that I am ruthless, saying that I treat my nephew better than my own son, that girl Yuan'er may also say that I am wrong, but I know that you will understand me. "

"Whether the eldest, the second, or the third, they are all my and your sons, but you and I both know that they and we have never been the same kind of people. Sometimes I wonder why we are not the same family. People, can they still enter the house?”

"because

For that chair? I admit that I have been busy with so many things over the years, so I have neglected to discipline them... Forget it, since I am in front of you, there is nothing to hide. I have indeed never cared about the children, but I didn't sit down at the beginning. When they got into this chair, the eldest and the second eldest valued their position as heirs more than me as their father, so it is understandable that I would be disappointed in them later? "

"But they are father and son after all. It is my fault that I have not visited them all these years and allowed them to go further and further down the wrong road."

Emperor Liang laughed at himself, took a sip of wine, and shook his head.

"Sometimes I think, if I were not the emperor, or even surnamed Chen, and there would be no throne or heir apparent for them to compete for, maybe our family would really be able to live peacefully in this life, but then I thought about it, without these , they will also fight for other things, whether it is family property or anything else, they have to fight after all, and I don't like it, so it doesn't feel strange that it is like this now. "

"The second child has been very thoughtful and courageous since he was a child, so he thinks a lot and dares to do things. I don't think it's strange that he is here today, but things still happened. Before me, how should I choose?"

"One is your nephew who you feel guilty about, and I think he is very good. The other is my biological son. I'm afraid no one can make a completely good choice, right?"

Emperor Liang thought to himself and said, "So the second brother did those things. It was his fault, but I didn't help my nephew. I can make up for my debt to him over the years, right? But in this way, I feel sorry for my nephew. As an emperor, Everything is difficult, and as an elder this time, I have a hard time."

"That's right. I have done barely enough as an emperor these years, and even worse as an elder."

"If you were alive, you would definitely have a good solution."

"Forget it, if you were alive, it would be even harder to choose according to your temperament. You are caught in the middle, why should I make it difficult for you?"

Emperor Liang sighed and said, "The second brother wanted to kill him, and he killed the second brother. I don't think there is anything wrong. Don't blame him. If you want to blame him, blame me."

His Majesty the Emperor leaned against the tombstone and rambled on a lot of words. Those words could only be said to her, but she could no longer hear them.

"I'm so tired, really tired. They all think it's interesting to be the emperor. The world belongs to you, but what's the point of this world without you?"

Emperor Liang leaned on the tombstone and fell asleep slowly.

A breeze blew by, blowing his white hair.

A moth flew from the dark night and slowly landed on His Majesty the Emperor's shoulder.
