I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 323: Langya King must die
Unparalleled city.

At this moment, everyone in Wushuang City was cheering.

The truth is that no one from their Wushuang City has been on the Gold List for many years. Last year, the city lord's first place on the Liangyu List made them excited for a long time. Now the city lord has entered the Guanjue List again, which is one level stronger than famous masters like the Angry Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, which really makes them excited.

After all, for so many years, Wushuang City can still be called one of the four cities in Beilitianxia, ​​all relying on its former glory. Now the emergence of Wushuang is truly their biggest savior.

On the other hand, the city lord Wushuang did not look happy at all and sat on the city wall in a daze.

Lu Yuzhai sat next to him and looked at the list released by Bai Xiaotang.

When Xiao Se and his group came back from the sea this year, he led a team to intercept them from entering Tianqi and had a battle with the disciples of Xueyue City. In the end, he was defeated miserably by the other side and still has a pair of crutches in his hand.

"Junior brother, you are on the top list." Lu Yuzhai said quietly.

"Bai Xiaotang is not a good person." Wushuang didn't even look at the list. He just opened the Wushuang sword box and polished the exquisite flying swords one by one. "And this list is not comprehensive. He is not on the list?!"

Lu Yuzhai knew who his junior brother was talking about, the Fifth Prince of the Chu State, Chu Yang.

His majestic aura cleanses the world and makes people unable to muster the will to resist.

At least when he faced Chu Yang, he had no desire to resist, as if resisting him was like resisting the heaven and earth, and resisting the righteousness of the world.

I had a fight with my junior fellow apprentice this year, and the result was a draw.

"The Fifth Prince of Chu is a figure in the court of Chu, not a man of the martial arts world, so it is understandable that he is not included in the Bai Xiaotang martial arts list." Lu Yuzhai shook his head and laughed: "However, Bai Xiaotang is indeed not a good person. The list was issued at this time. Originally, the world only knew that Wushuang City had a young hero, leaving some speculations for them to talk nonsense. But now he has been included in the Guanjue list, and there are so many malicious comments. Now everyone knows that our Wushuang City has a new city lord who has restarted the Wushuang Sword Immortal. He can't pretend anymore."

At the end, Lu Yuzhai sighed and said, "When are you going to Tianqi?"

Wushuang did not answer, but called softly: "Cloud Shuttle, Light Frost, Wind Flute, Red Leaf, Butterfly, Absolute Shadow, Killing Life, Breaking Disaster, Jade Ruyi, Soft Around the Finger."

Ten flying swords flew out of the sword box and landed in front of him. Wushuang's fingers tapped lightly on the hilts, making a tinkling sound, like wind chimes.

"It sounds really nice."

Wushuang smiled and called out softly again.

"shortage."

A flying sword flew out, Wushuang tapped the sword case lightly: "Mang."

Another flying sword flew out of the sword box, and twelve flying swords fell in a row in front of him.

"Great Ming Zhuque."

Wushuang called out again, but the long sword in Wushuang's sword case did not respond at all.

"The Great Ming Suzaku!"

Wushuang shouted loudly, which was rare for him, and the long sword began to vibrate, but it just kept vibrating and still did not fly out of the sword box.

Wushuang scratched his head and put his hand on the hilt of the sword. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "My sword told me that I am not qualified to control it. It seems that I have to wait a little longer."

Control and mastery are two different concepts.

Wushuang is now able to pull out the Ming Suzaku with his hands, but it will take some time before he can fly the sword.

……

Xueyue City, the thirteenth floor of Dengtian Pavilion.

Luo Mingxuan, dressed in white, sat in front of the clay sculpture of the immortal Liubo, frowning tightly.

This clay sculpture of the immortal Liubo was given to him by Chu Nanyue at the beginning of last year. It is very relevant to what he is learning now.

He could feel that if he had obtained the Immortal Six Swordsmanship earlier, he might have been able to enter the realm of Sword Immortal last year and compete with Wushuang and Ye Anshi of Wushuang City for the top spot on the Liangyu List, and he might even be able to compete for the top spot this year.

"Are you still reading? It's time to eat." Yue Qing came in with a basket and said with a smile, "I have good news for you. Bai Xiao Tang just sent us the gold list, and you are sixth on the Liang Yu list."

"I'm only sixth?" Luo Mingxuan was stunned and frowned: "Where are Wushuang and Ye Anshi?"

He is now only one step away from becoming a Sword Immortal, but he is only at the sixth level? !

Is the competition on the Liangyu list so fierce this year?
"Ye Anshi and Wushuang are not on the Liangyu list. Wushuang is now among the top three on the Zhanjue list." Yue Qing said lightly.

"What?" Luo Mingxuan was startled and said angrily, "Damn it, I lost to that kid again. I won't eat anymore and will continue practicing sword skills."

Yue Qing raised her leg and kicked him: "How dare you say bad words in front of Master? You are so bold! Hurry and eat!"

Luo Mingxuan smiled awkwardly, quickly turned over and got up, and said vaguely while eating: "What about Ye Anshi, he is also on the top list, is he also in the third place?"

Yue Qing shook her head: "No, he is not on the martial arts list."

"Ah?" Luo Mingxuan was surprised: "Why?"

At the same time, in the Yongan Palace in Tianqi City.

Lei Wujie, who had already looked through all the lists, suddenly discovered a problem.

"Master Ji, where is the monk?"

You know, Ye Anshi was at the top of the Liangyu list together with Wushuang last year.

Now Wushuang is already among the top three on the best list. With Ye Anshi's talent not inferior to Wushuang, there will be no problem for him to be on the best list. Even if he cannot be on the best list, he should be on the Liangyu list.

As a result, Ye Anshi didn't even make it onto the martial arts ranking? !

Ji Xue turned her head and looked at him: "Ye Anshi is not a member of the martial arts world now, so he is not included in the martial arts list."

"Not from the martial arts world?" Lei Wujie was puzzled.

Ji Xue nodded: "He was granted an official position before entering Tianqi City this year."

Lei Wujie suddenly realized and turned to look at Xiao Se. He found a flash of surprise on his face: "That monk is actually willing to be an official?"

"After all, I'm already a father. If not for myself, I have to consider my child's future. It's good to be free and easy in the world, but my status and position can't compare to that of a young master from an aristocratic family, especially in the State of Chu." Ye Ruoyi said.

Xiao Se nodded. He was quite familiar with the situation in the State of Chu.

Ever since his uncle ascended the throne, the State of Chu has been promoting the idea of ​​"heroes breaking the law with force". Nowadays, people in the martial arts world in the State of Chu can be said to be at the bottom of the social ladder.

Therefore, the State of Chu was known as the "dead end of the world" in its early years.

In the eyes of most people in Chu State, people in the underworld are just gangsters.

If you don't have a legitimate way to make a living, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you will be considered low class and despised by the people of Chu.

This also means that there is no future or way out for those who survive in the Chu State.

What's more, let alone the State of Chu, even in other places, the status and position of people in the underworld are far inferior to those of powerful families.

It is understandable that the monk accepted the official position in Chu State for the sake of his son.

However, he still had a curious question.

"If he hadn't been an official, with his ability, where would he rank on the list of the best?"

Ji Xue thought for a moment and replied, "His strength should be almost the same as Wushuang's, and he can be ranked in the top three."

Xiao Se understood: "I have finished reading the gold list, let's talk business."

Ji Xue nodded and followed Xiao Se to the meeting hall. Lei Wujie found Ye Ruoyi standing there without moving, and was stunned for a moment, wondering: "You're not going?"

Ye Ruoyi shook her head: "Some things are not suitable for me to know. You guys chat, I will go back home first."

Council Chamber.

This was the first time that the door of the meeting hall in the Yong'an Palace had been opened since Xiao Se returned home.

For Xiao Se and the others, they were used to discussing things together, and this was the first time they had a private conversation like this.

"Have you found out about the Dragon Seal Scroll?" Xiao Se asked straight to the point.

Ji Xue nodded and answered straightforwardly: "I found it."

Xiao Se was not surprised at all and asked, "Is that really the name of the emperor's uncle?"

Although he had already learned about this from his cousin, he still wanted to confirm it with Ji Xue.

"Yes, during the Eight Princes Rebellion, Prince Langya tore up the scroll to show his will, and even Zhuoqing and the other four eunuchs were unable to stop him. But a few years later, Prince Langya had made many military achievements and the people supported him. When the scroll was revealed again, even if Prince Langya did not want to be the emperor, there were people in the army, the court, and the common people who forced him to take the throne."

Ji Xue took a breath and continued, "That was what Grand Eunuch Zhuoqing was waiting for. He wanted to use that scroll to stir up a feud between your father and the Langya King, in order to achieve his own ambition.

However, he did not expect that the Prince of Langya and Emperor Mingde would team up to create a case of treason. Emperor Mingde quickly convicted the Prince of Langya, and without even a trial by the Imperial Censorate, he was directly sentenced to death. He did not even have time to show his scroll, and the Prince of Langya committed suicide on the execution ground.

Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, then immediately grasped the key point of Ji Xue's words.

"You mean, Uncle Wang's rebellion was a conspiracy between Uncle Wang and Father?"

"good."

Ji Xue nodded, and couldn't help but think of what her fiancé Chu Wei had said to her.

——Xiao Rufeng is a bastard. He betrayed everyone around him for his brother Xiao Ruojin.

After getting a positive answer, Xiao Se fell silent.

As everyone knows, after the founding of Beili, because two crown princes died in succession, the emperor of the time no longer appointed a crown prince. Instead, on the day of the annual sacrificial ceremony, he would write the name of the crown prince in a scroll and seal it with a dragon seal. It was called the Dragon Seal Scroll.

There are two copies of the Dragon Seal Scroll. One is handed over to the Five Great Supervisors for safekeeping, claiming to be the emperor's order; the other is handed over to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for sealing and preservation, claiming to be the will of heaven.

This has been the case for generations.

Only after Emperor Tai'an's death did an accident happen.

More than 20 years ago, when Emperor Tai'an passed away, the five eunuchs brought out the Dragon Seal Scroll. Before it could be read out, it was snatched away by Langya King Xiao Ruofeng and torn into pieces.

Afterwards, Xiao Ruofeng knelt down, shouted "Long live the emperor", and supported his third brother Xiao Ruojin to ascend the throne, becoming Emperor Mingde.

Langya King Xiao Ruofeng has been fond of poetry, books and etiquette since childhood. He traveled around the world at the age of sixteen and later joined the army. He won battles one after another, and his official position was promoted again and again, and his military exploits became more and more prosperous.

Emperor Mingde had no choice but to create a new position specifically for Xiao Ruofeng - the Protector General of Beili.

Although Xiao Ruofeng tore up one scroll back then, the whereabouts of another scroll was unknown.

As Xiao Ruofeng's prestige grew higher and higher and became a threat to Xiao Ruojin's position, the news that the lost Dragon Seal Scroll had been found began to spread like wildfire, shocking the government and the public.

Although Emperor Mingde could be considered a wise ruler since he ascended the throne, his brilliance was still too weak compared with the achievements of Prince Langya.

In addition, with the five former eunuchs fanning the flames, people from all walks of life in the government and the country had the same idea.

Why didn’t Prince Langya become emperor directly?
In order to maintain the stability of Beili, Xiao Ruofeng sacrificed his honor, went to jail, and was charged with treason and seeking power.

After the conspiracy to treason broke out, Xiao Ruofeng remained silent.

It was just that a person who had the least reason to rebel actually did it, and the first person who didn't believe it was Xiao Chuhe.

He knelt in front of the Pingqing Palace to defend the Prince of Langya, but was stripped of his title and exiled to Tianqi.

However, Xiao Se never imagined that the so-called treason case was just a joint conspiracy between his father and his uncle the Prince of Langya.

In other words, Prince Langya died voluntarily and was not framed by his father.

His uncle, the Prince of Langya, sacrificed his own life, and his father sacrificed his younger brother's life, in exchange for the stability of the Beili world.

This was completely different from what he had ever imagined.

At this moment, Xiao Se's mood was very complicated.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "Did it really come to this? If Uncle Langya hadn't died, Beili would have been in chaos?"

"Yes, at that time, the Beili army was in full force, and General Lei Mengsha was dead. General Jinjia became the top general in the army under King Langya. All the generals under him were subordinates of King Langya. If King Langya hadn't suppressed them, they would have wanted to rebel and make him the emperor. If that scroll came out, even King Langya would have been unable to suppress them."

Ji Xue sighed, "Back then, King Langya himself didn't expect that he would step by step reach the point where his achievements would surpass his master.

Although he doesn't mind because his achievements surpass those of his master, and neither does your father. But that doesn't mean other people don't mind.

It can be said that the Langya King had reached the point where he had to die. "

Xiao Se frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Who has the scroll now?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's in the hands of Grand Supervisor Zhuoqing, or maybe it's in the hands of Ye Xiaoying, because he has been to the imperial mausoleum."

Before the Beili Three Dynasties, there was a eunuch named Xie Jiulian. In order to save his abducted sister, he disguised himself as a eunuch and entered the palace. After being discovered, he was castrated and served the prince.

A few years later, the prince ascended the throne. When one person succeeds, his whole family will benefit. Xie Jiulian became the head of the Five Great Supervisors, with power over the government and the country. He was known as the Nine Thousand Year Old. After the emperor's death, he caused the most chaotic reign without a king since the Northern Li Dynasty.

It was also because of him that the court rules were later established that after the emperor's death, the five major eunuchs had to be buried in the imperial mausoleum and not allowed to step out for the rest of their lives.

Now, the five new supervisors are naturally in the imperial mausoleum. Since Ye Xiaoying has been to the imperial mausoleum, it is natural that the Dragon Seal Scroll is in his hands.

"Ye Xiaoying and Zhuoqing have joined forces?" Xiao Se asked.

Ji Xue shook her head: "It is not certain yet, but what is certain is that Ye Xiaoying has made his choice."

"Ok?"

"You are the prince that Langya King values ​​the most and is closest to. Compared to Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu, you are naturally Ye Xiaoying's best choice, but the premise is that he does not show up. In the past few days, Ye Xiaoying's troops have left Tianqi one after another. There is no mistake. They are going to find Xiao Lingchen." Ji Xue said in a deep voice: "That is, the former Prince of Langya, now the King of Langya!"

Xiao Se frowned: "Where is he now?"

"We are investigating, but Zhuo Qing and Ye Xiaoying should know his whereabouts. Now Ye Xiaoying wants to welcome Xiao Lingchen back to the capital, along with the scroll, when your father is seriously ill."

Ji Xue paused and uttered two words coldly.

"Forced the palace!"

Xiao Se sighed: "It seems that it is inevitable after all."

"That's all I have to say. After today, I will leave Tianqi City. I want to find Xiao Lingchen before them."

Noticing the murderous intent flashing in Ji Xue's eyes, Xiao Se hurriedly said, "You can't kill him."

"The Apocalypse City that the Four Weather Guardians guard is actually guarding you." Ji Xue turned around and looked straight at Xiao Se: "Whether to kill him or not depends on how he answers me, which is why I want to talk to you alone about this.

The fewer people who know about these things, the better. As for the matter of Tianqi that I left, no one can tell. If you want to find out the news, go find Chu Wei. Their Shadow Building has faster and more detailed information than our Bai Xiaotang. "

Xiao Se nodded: "Understood."
