I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 330 The Same Choice
"bye!"

Ye Xiaoying roared, and the former members of the Langya Army knelt down in unison.

The soldiers guarding the mausoleum also knelt down.

Only the Imperial Guards and the Huben Guards stood there hesitantly, at a loss for a moment.

"You want us to kneel down just by holding a scroll?" Xiao Ruochen smiled coldly, looked at Zhuoxin with contempt and said, "Zhuoxin, you are far worse than your senior brother."

Zhuoxin ignored him and held up the Dragon Seal Scroll and said loudly: "The name written on the Dragon Seal Scroll of the previous emperor is Langya King Xiao Ruofeng. Mingde Emperor Xiao Ruojin disobeyed the throne and forced Langya King to tear up the Dragon Seal Scroll. In the end, he ascended the throne and falsely accused Langya King of treason.

We, the five great supervisors, have received the emperor's order. We have endured humiliation and hardship over the years, and finally obtained this Dragon Sealed Scroll. Today, we will reshape the imperial court, restore the Xiao family's rule, welcome the prince of Langya, Xiao Lingchen, back to Tianqi, depose Emperor Mingde, and establish a new emperor!"

"Depose Emperor Mingde and establish a new emperor!"

Jin Yan shouted loudly, attracting the former members of the Langya Army and the Tomb Guarding King's Army present.

Amid the calls for the enthronement of a new emperor, Jin Yan also knelt down.

Xiao Chong was furious: "You bastard eunuch, what nonsense are you talking about? Back then, the Prince of Langya called out my father's name in front of everyone in front of the palace. How could it be forced? If it was really forced, why did you sit there and do nothing?"

Xiao Ruojin glanced at Jin Yan in surprise, then looked at Jin Wei below, and then called out softly: "Chong'er, don't worry, let him continue."

"Now the Dragon Seal Scroll is here, with the seal of the Jade Seal on it. It was written by the late emperor himself, how could it be fake?" Zhuoxin said solemnly: "We five great supervisors have received the late emperor's great grace. Today we must clear the name of the King of Langya and restore justice to the world."

Ye Xiaoying seemed to echo Zhuoxin's words, standing up and shouting.

"alert."

The former members of the Langya Army stood up instantly, with ferocious looks on their faces, as if they were ready to massacre the palace at any time.

The crown prince can naturally succeed to the throne.

It can also lead to rivers of blood and a change of dynasties.

Perhaps some people would care about the difference, but they, the old members of the Langya Army, did not care. As long as there was the slightest thing unusual, they would rush forward and clear all obstacles.

"Father-in-law."

Just when the situation was tense, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

Zhuoxin lowered his head slightly and looked at the stone steps not far below. He saw the current King of Langya, who looked 80% similar to Xiao Ruofeng and was also the orthodox one he mentioned. He bowed hurriedly.

"Your Highness Prince Langya."

"Father-in-law, are you here to help me ascend to the throne?" Xiao Lingchen asked.

"That's right." Zhuoxin raised his head: "The Dragon Seal Scroll is here. I hope His Royal Highness Prince Langya will personally announce who is the true orthodox Xiao family and the true master of Beili."

Xiao Lingchen nodded and turned to look at everyone.

"Gentlemen, would you like me to open this scroll?"

"May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally open the Dragon Seal Scroll and clear the Marshal's name!" the soldiers shouted.

"My lords, do you want me to ascend the throne and be called Emperor Beili?" Xiao Lingchen asked again.

"May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately succeed to the throne and be crowned Emperor Beili!" the soldiers shouted again.

"Soldiers, would you like to follow the Beili Emperor's flag or the Langya Army's flag?" Xiao Lingchen asked the third question.

This time there was no overwhelming response, because the soldiers were in hesitation. They didn't even know why Xiao Lingchen asked this question.

Xiao Lingchen ignored them and turned to look at Zhuoxin and Zhuoluo: "Two eunuchs, would you like Lingchen to personally address you here?"

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhuoxin shouted respectfully, held the Dragon Seal Scroll high in both hands, and knelt down directly.

Zhuo Luo also knelt down at the same time: "Please come in, Your Majesty."

As long as Xiao Lingchen opens the Dragon Seal Scroll and reads out the name on it, there will be no turning back for today's events.

Xiao Lingchen will inherit the throne, and they can also use this achievement and the deal with Ye Xiaoying to escape from the hellish place of the imperial mausoleum in a fair and honest manner.

Xiao Lingchen walked forward slowly, and Xiao Chong grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.

His ability to draw the sword in anger was learned from the Angry Sword Immortal. Xiao Chong was confident that he could split the Dragon Seal Scroll in half with one sword, even at the cost of his own life.

But when he was about to draw his sword, he felt a powerful force coming from behind, pressing him down.

Someone behind him stopped him.

But the force was too strong, he couldn't even draw his sword, let alone turn around, so he had no idea who was stopping him at this moment.

Xiao Lingchen, who was walking slowly forward, suddenly stopped and bowed respectfully.

"Meet the Master."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly, turned to look at Xiao Ruojin, and said calmly: "Xiao Ruojin, you really deserve to die."

Xiao Ruojin turned around and looked at Li Changsheng, who looked like Nangong Chunshui. He bowed first, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li, I am almost dead. Maybe this is retribution."

When the two old eunuchs Zhuoxin and Zhuoluo heard this, they couldn't help but look up, their eyes full of astonishment.

Li Changsheng grinned at them and said nothing. He just snorted at Xiao Ruojin, "I always thought your father was shameless enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more shameless than your father. You even killed your brother who helped you get to the top."

Xiao Ruojin opened his mouth, but suddenly found that all his words of defense seemed so pale and powerless.

So he said nothing and slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for judgment.

Li Changsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look at his disciple.

"I heard from Xiao Ba that your father made a wrong choice back then. Now it's your turn to make a choice. I don't want you to follow your father's old path."

Xiao Lingchen was stunned: "Grandmaster, who is Xiao Ba you are talking about?"

"Chu Zhao."

As soon as these words were spoken, several young people present couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Is it funny?" Li Changsheng asked in a daze.

Several people hurriedly suppressed their laughter and shook their heads. Among them, Xiao Lingchen replied, "It's not funny, not funny. Master, don't worry, I won't follow my father's old path."

After saying that, he slowly walked to Zhuoxin, gently picked up the Dragon Seal Scroll, unfolded it, glanced at it, and smiled slightly, but he did not read it out loud. Instead, he stretched out his hand, one, two, three...

Tear the Dragon Seal Scroll into pieces.

Just like what his father did in front of the Pingqing Palace, in full view of everyone, he tore the Dragon Seal Scroll into pieces.

Finally, Xiao Lingchen threw the wooden frame of the scroll to the ground, pointed at Zhuoxin and shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the palace walls.

"My Xiao royal family braved wars for forty years to found our country. We have gone through six dynasties for one hundred and twenty-three years. Our national fortune is prosperous and all nations pay tribute to us. How can I allow a eunuch like you to decide the fate of my Xiao royal family?"

The entire palace wall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone's expression became intriguing, but only for a moment.

The next moment, Zhuoxin rose from the ground. He didn't have time to think about the deeper meaning of Xiao Lingchen's words, but one thing was certain, this was different from their plan.

Now, Xiao Lingchen destroyed the Dragon Seal Scroll and had no intention of succeeding to the throne.

Then what awaits them next is - death!

So, Zhuoxin chose to escape without hesitation.

But just as he took off, he was knocked down by a powerful force.

"You still want to run away from me?" Li Changsheng laughed: "Zhuo Xin, how much do you despise me?"

Three hundred miles away from Tianqi City, General Cheng Luoying of Beili led his army to gallop forward. The Beili Army was known as the "Wind Army" and was famous for its speed. The army was galloping madly and was about to reach the majestic city, but suddenly stopped.

Cheng Luoying, who was sitting in the carriage, opened his eyes and lifted the curtain: "Why did you stop?"

"General, the scouts said there are troops ahead," replied the deputy general.

"Army? Is it Chen Kui's troops coming to join them? His speed should be slower." Cheng Luoying frowned slightly.

"They are not General Chen's troops." A scout in black came hurriedly and replied, "They are Wang Li's troops guarding Tianqi City!"

"Wang Li's army?" Cheng Luoying frowned and said, "Why are they not in Tianqi City to resist the old members of the Langya Army? I'll go and take a look."

Cheng Luoying walked out of the carriage, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the front of the army.

There were a total of 20,000 soldiers in front of them, each of them riding a good horse from Yebei, wearing armor tributed from Tiantie City, and each of them was covered with iron armor, full of a solemn and majestic aura.

The girl in green shirt at the head of the group was particularly eye-catching. She was Ye Xiaoying's daughter, Princess Ye Ruoyi of Chu State.

Cheng Luoying was stunned for a moment, then rode forward and said, "Niece Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Ruoyi rode on the horse and saluted, "Uncle Cheng, I have been ordered to come and welcome the two uncles into the city."

"The former members of the Langya Army in Apocalypse City?"

"The ten people on the Heavenly Ranking are all in Apocalypse City. They can't cause any trouble."

"Then why did His Majesty summon us?"

Ye Ruoyi smiled brightly: "Uncle Cheng, let's not beat around the bush. Were you summoned by His Majesty to the capital to quell the rebellion?"

Cheng Luoying's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean, Niece Ye?"

"It's nothing. Please ask Uncle Cheng to wait here. When the matter is decided by the heaven, I will ask Uncle Chen to follow me into the palace." Ye Ruoyi said with a smile.

Cheng Luoying also laughed: "What if I force my way in?"

"Uncle Cheng, I invited you to the palace just to discuss with you the matter of joining forces with the State of Chu and raising an army to march south."

"Is that what your Majesty means?"

"It's the intention of the new emperor and my eldest brother."

"New emperor? Big brother?" Cheng Luoying was a little confused.

"As of now, the matter of the apocalypse has not been decided, and I don't know who the new emperor will be. As for my eldest brother..."

Thinking of Ye Ruoyi as the Queen of Chu, Cheng Luoying was suddenly shocked: "Chu An, he entered Tianqi?"

Ye Ruoyi nodded and said nothing.

Cheng Luoying was silent for a moment, nodded to Ye Ruoyi, turned his horse around and walked back.

The deputy general followed him and asked, "General, what should we do next?"

"wait for news."

Apocalypse City.

Inside the Imperial Palace, outside the Pingqing Palace.

One carriage after another drove slowly in from outside the palace gate and finally stopped at the foot of the stone steps.

Chu Zhao lifted the carriage curtain, walked out of the carriage holding a baby, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not late."

At the same time, others also got off the carriage.

In addition to Chu Zhao's family, there were also Li Hanyi, Zhao Yuzhen, Sikong Changfeng, Baili Dongjun and other masters of the older generation, as well as Lei Wujie, Wushuang, Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo and other young people. There was a large group of men and women, young and old. Some of them directly flashed up there, while others stayed in the courtyard. Only Chu Zhao's family, including his wife and children, climbed up the stairs.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Xuan followed behind Chu An, teasing the child in his arms, smiling with a smug look on his face.

Walking in front of Xiao Ruojin, Chu Zhao said with a smile: "Looks like you're going to die, I brought them here to see you off."

"Are these all yours?"

Looking at the men and women around Chu Zhao, especially the children, Xiao Ruojin felt indescribable envy.

Chu Zhao hummed and winked at his eldest son beside him.

Chu An understood immediately, and bowed with his younger brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, saying, "Meet the two uncles."

The other children are still young, but Chuan’s two children are already four or five years old.

Seeing the elders bowing, the two little ones followed suit and bowed, shouting, "Greetings, two uncles."

Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruochen smiled and nodded, saying yes.

Then, Xiao Ruojin turned his head and looked at his three sons, and said angrily: "Look at them, and then look at you, you are such a waste!"

Xiao Chong: “…”

Xiao Se: "..."

Xiao Yu: "..."

As for Xiao Ruochen, he dodged and picked up a little guy with one hand, and said with a smile: "Where is your aunt?"

"My aunt didn't come."

"not coming?"

"Uncle, my aunt said she doesn't want to see my second uncle." Chu Yang replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruojin gave a bitter smile, looked at Chu Zhao and said, "I am sorry for her."

"Indeed, so I won't save you." Chu Zhao snorted coldly and asked, "How far has the situation developed?"

Xiao Se stepped forward and said, “Uncle, Brother Wang just tore up the Dragon Seal Scroll and made the same choice as Uncle Wang.”

Xiao Lingchen shook his head: "Although I tore up the scroll, the choice I made was different from that of my father."

Xiao Se smiled and said nothing.

Chu Zhao held the child in his arms, turned his head to look at Zhuoxin lying on the ground, and Zhuoluo kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Zhuoxin, Zhuoluo, long time no see. It was not easy to save your life back then, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, can you please spare our lives?" Zhuo Luo said.

"You are not my subjects, so how can I say I will spare you?" Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled, then turned to look at the Qingping Palace: "Zhuoqing, I haven't seen you for many years, why don't you come out and chat?
Your aura can deceive others, but not me. The Falsehood Skill that our Chu family has inherited from their ancestors is from the same source as your False Ambition Skill."

A sigh sounded in the hall, and then Zhuoqing, wearing a brocade dragon robe, walked out of the hall.

"This old servant greets His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. I pay my respects to His Majesty." Zhuo Qing bowed and sighed, "One wrong move in chess can lead to a complete loss."

"Betting on me was a mistake in the first place." Xiao Lingchen turned around and said proudly, "How can you eunuchs guess what we, the royal family, are thinking?"

Zhuoqing looked at him and sneered: "You are just a waste."

Xiao Lingchen sneered, "Useless? Back then, for your own selfish reasons, you used my father's military prestige and the people's support to force him onto the throne, which led to discord between the emperor and his subjects, and chaos in the court and the country. My father died for justice, and you still want me to help you do the same thing again?"

"The name of King Langya is written on the scroll, so he should be the emperor." Zhuo Luo said in a deep voice.

"What a joke! I've only heard of people wanting to be emperor, but I've never heard of people determined to be emperor.

My father doesn't like that position and he just doesn't want to do it. What can you do?
I won't do it either, so what can you do?

You eunuchs, are you still thinking of stirring up trouble in the world? "

Xiao Lingchen took a step forward, looked down at Zhuo Luo coldly, sneered, and finally said with murderous intent: "I came to Tianqi only to kill those who want to be killed. You guys deserve to die."
