Chapter 1079 The Target of the First Kill

There is an extremely fast river surrounding the Tianshu Mausoleum, just like the moat outside Luoyang City.

The sparse forest plain between the two sides is actually a bridge over the river, but because the bridge deck is too wide and too thick, it is difficult to be discovered.

Restrictions that have existed since ancient times have made it difficult to fly around the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

Wang Po stood here, as if one man was in charge and no one could get past him.

The problem is that many military experts, Tianji Pavilion assassins and Changchun Taoists have entered the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

What is he still doing standing here?

Wang Po said: "If they don't reach an agreement, I will take action."

Yes, that's the answer.

He is standing here, not to guard the Heavenly Book Tomb, but to always be ready to attack the opponent.

After hearing these words, the expressions of the princes changed slightly, and King Zhongshan's eyes became more gloomy.

The Prime Minister said with a bitter face: "The saint wants to avenge her mother, do you really want to accompany her to go crazy?"

Wang Po's expression was slightly strange. He didn't expect that he would still call the Holy Queen Tianhai his mother.

The Prime Minister knew what he was thinking and said: "I am not the Queen's biological child, but I am her son after all. When I followed Dao Zun to Beijing, I felt that she had made a mistake, but it was not that I had any personal resentment towards her. Just Like I promised Zhu Luo that I wouldn't let you live, but do you think I've done anything to you in these years? It's just about the overall situation."

He said these words so sincerely that even the brothers who knew his details almost believed them.

Wang Po smiled and said nothing.

Seeing his reaction, a county prince could no longer bear it and cursed: "Why are you so arrogant? I want you to die here today!"

A lot of imperial troops have been gathered here, not to mention so many masters and strong men. Coupled with the King Xiang who is also in the sacred realm, it is logically enough to kill Wang Po.

The problem is that war is always the most complex activity, and even a war against one person is by no means simple.

Not to mention that the specific shape of the war is ever-changing, but it is still unclear when the war will begin.

The Prime Minister said: "You should know that there is no way to fight today, why bother to put on such an appearance."

This sentence was a bit incomprehensible, but Wang Po understood it and said with a half-smile: "Then what are you doing here?"

The Prime Minister sighed and said, "I have to come and do my best."

Wang Po said: "What kind of heart?"

"Ambition, of course."

The Prime Minister smiled and said: "If Lord Dao does not doubt Your Majesty, nothing will happen, and naturally it will be none of our business. If there is doubt, I will always make some preparations."

Wang Po said: "Your Majesty is quite honest."

When the Prime Minister was about to continue saying something, dozens of extremely clear sword sounds suddenly came from the Tianshu Mausoleum.

Everyone looked over and their expressions became solemn.

As Xiang Wang said before, the current situation seems tense, but it is fundamentally different from three years ago, and the two sides do not necessarily go to war.

If this is the case, then who are these sword sounds for?

…

…

Shang Xingzhou stood on the Shinto.

Xu Yourong stood higher up.

Shang Xingzhou took a step upward.

The Nanxi Zhai Sword Array naturally reacted and started to operate quietly.

Countless streams of light appeared between heaven and earth, drawing countless mysterious and indescribable trajectories.

Dozens of sword sounds sounded.

These sword sounds do not come from the friction between the sword body and the air, but from the compression and release of the air by the sword's intention.

Soft and yet extremely profound.

It's like a clear stream falling from a cliff into a deep mountain stream.

Dozens of sword lights lingered around Shang Xingzhou.

Shang Xingzhou stretched out a finger, and a soft light emitted from his fingertips.

A hundred steel makings make the fingers soft.

Dozens of sword lights changed from a straight shape to a slightly curved arc. They still did not disperse, but a very small space appeared.

Shang Xingzhou's left foot fell.

The sound of the sword disappeared and the light of the sword disappeared.

The slightly cold spring breeze blew the dust on the Shinto.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But Shang Xingzhou had already climbed the first stone step.

He looked down at his Taoist robe.

A tear appeared on the hem of the Taoist robe.

The power of Nanxi Zhai Sword Formation was somewhat beyond his calculation.

Xu Yourong was also a little surprised. According to her calculations, the crack should be deeper.

When the Nanxi Zhai Sword Formation was initially activated, couldn't it cut off even a corner of his clothes?

The battle didn't start there, it was just a test.

The final result made both parties very dissatisfied, so both parties gave up the idea of ​​taking action directly.

Shang Xingzhou said, "I'm very curious about how you persuaded Wang Po."

Xu Yourong said: "I promised him that my method would kill the least number of people. He promised me that no matter what I do today, he will support me."

Shang Xingzhou said: "It seems that you know his sword skills very well."

Xu Yourong said: "I know that guy better."

That guy is naturally Chen Changsheng.

He regarded Wang Po as a role model. Even after learning two sword-breaking techniques, he still acted and behaved according to Wang Po's sword skills.

Xu Yourong knew Chen Changsheng and naturally understood how to gain the trust of someone like Wang Po.

Shang Xingzhou said calmly: "Do you think you know me well?"

Xu Yourong said: "I have been trying to understand you for the past three years."

Shang Xingzhou admitted that she had done a good job in preparation.

Today's situation, or her threatening method, cannot be applied to anyone, only to him.

She knew what he cared about most, and more importantly, she had the ability to destroy those things.

Shang Xingzhou said: "You can only keep me here for half an hour at most."

He took a step up the stone steps and came to this conclusion.

Xu Yourong said: "Half an hour is enough."

Shang Xingzhou shook his head and said, "This is Kyoto, not Wenshui."

This is talking about what happened to the Tang family in Wenshui a few months ago - Tang Sanliu only needed an hour to find the evidence of the crime of the second master of the Tang family, and to eliminate the entire power of the second brother of the Tang family, because in the Tang family The old man's tacit consent, the strength gap between the two sides was too great to form a confrontation.

But this is Kyoto, and the imperial court still has the upper hand. If the two sides turn against each other, a real war will inevitably begin.

Xu Yourong said, "I'm ready."

Shang Xingzhou smiled and asked, "How are you going to fight this battle?"

Xu Yourong said: "First, I will kill King Chenliu."

This is an unexpected answer.

She did not choose to take control of the palace first, nor did she choose to attack the court. Instead, she chose the most direct method - killing.

And what she wanted to kill was not the Prime Minister who was outside the Tianshu Mausoleum at this time, nor the King of Zhongshan, who had a high prestige in the army, nor the divine generals who held real power, but King Chenliu.

Although King Chenliu has a good reputation, his realm strength is not outstanding, and his power is not the most powerful.

Why did Xu Yourong choose him?

Why did Shang Xingzhou's eyes darken after hearing her choice?
