Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 339
In the blood and fire that filled the sky, thousands of soldiers lay dead here.Thousands of battles were fought, and the earth was stained with blood.

tread!tread!tread!
Xun Shaoyu walked steadily, and every sound of his footsteps continued to echo in everyone's ears, and heavy pressure was gathering.

His palm pressed on the handle of Wu Dao, and there was an unbearable sense of oppression, pressing on the bodies of Wen Yuanming, the Xun clan elders and others.

Feeling the strong pressure on their bodies, even though there were thousands of [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapons] nearby, the expressions of Xun Taichang, Xun Taiwei, and Xun Taiyong changed slightly, and their newly stable minds became tense.

The old master, who was the pillar of support for everyone, looked solemn, holding the male and female treasure whip in his hand, holding on to his last breath of energy, and watching Xun Shaoyu's figure closely.

After Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang were threatened by Xun Shaoyu, they had to withdraw from Yingkou.At this moment, the old master and the elders of the Xun clan can truly feel Xun Shaoyu's sharpness and how powerful it is.

With the power of defeating the sword masters of the Song Dynasty, no one can ignore Xun Shaoyu's likes and dislikes. If they know that the three major sword masters have been crowned, they will only pay more attention to him.

Xun Shaoyu sighed softly and said: "Master, Master Ze and Master Yang are plotting evil. They actually colluded with Zheng and Song and committed this heinous act. God will not bless me, Lu!"

The old grand master sighed deeply: "Unfortunately, the son and the son are very private, not as good as Chang Xinjun!"

Looking at the devastation in Yingkou, the old master's expression became more and more bitter. The clear fact was before his eyes. Gongziyan's move would only make the situation in Lu Guo more complicated.

Without the support of Zheng and Song, Lao Taishi's decision might still have a chance to succeed. However, Zheng and Song did not hesitate to send masters of the martial arts level to go into battle shirtless to open the eyes of Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang, allowing Lao Taishi to fight. The thought of calming down the war has completely become an empty talk.

Xun Shaoyu made a speech with great emotion and said: "The old master is ridiculous. Where there is a country, there is a family, and the Lu State is my Xun Shaoyu's home. Because several great princes competed for the throne, the war in our Lu State continued, and the people of the country were displaced. , the people are suffering unspeakably. I see the pain in my eyes and feel the pain in my heart. As long as I can calm down the war in Lu State and let the people of the country settle down, it means giving up the position of king, so what does it matter!"

When several elders of the Xun family heard this, they praised each other and said: "It is really a blessing for the country of Lu that Marquis Wen has such a son."

Several senior officials, who were very thoughtful, understood and said: "How lucky the Duke of Lu is to have a son like this, and how lucky the Xun family is!"

Seeing everyone's compliments, Wen Yuanming's expression changed quietly, as if he smelled something bad, and said bitterly: "Jiang Xinjun's frankness makes me feel ashamed."

As for Xun Shaoyu's true temperament, Wen Yuanming had a clear idea of ​​Xun Shaoyu's true temperament as early as the battle of Yuanshui.With Xun Shaoyu's ambition, he would never allow others to stand on top of him and give orders.

With Xun Shaoyu's deep-seated pride, Xun Shaoyu would never allow it even if it was just a 'fake name' in name!
However, the position of 'Yajun' proposed by the old master was to allow the three of them to form a check and balance, and use the power of the other two to suppress Xun Shaoyu.Now that Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang have suddenly withdrawn, Xun Shaoyu is left as the 'Yajun'. From now on, the family will be the dominant one, which is far from what the old master secretly expected.

However, at this moment, the two great martial arts saints, Old Taishi and Xun Taichang, were both seriously injured. Their combat power was at a loss, and they lacked the force to check Xun Shaoyu again.Let Xun Shaoyu become the "sub-jun" and stand shoulder to shoulder with the monarchs of Lu State, and where will the new monarch who is about to succeed to the throne be placed.

None of the Xun clan elders and senior officials present were old and cunning.After losing the constraints of Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang, Xun Shaoyu once again took on a high profile of serving the country and the people.This is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance with the intention of Pei Gong, directing his eyes towards the throne of king.

At this time, someone from the Xun family took the lead to pierce the window paper and said: "Changxin Lord has made great contributions to Sheji and has made great achievements in Lu State. He can inherit the ambitions of Marquis Wen and the aspirations of the previous monarchs." .”

"Young master, whose virtues are shallow and his deeds are weak, how can he take on a great responsibility? Lord Changxin has made great achievements in battle, resisting the barbarians in the south and attacking common evildoers in the north. It would be better if Lord Changxin succeeds to the throne and he will be the one everyone expects!"

With this clan elder setting an example, a senior doctor suddenly became enlightened and rushed forward to persuade him to proceed, no longer caring about Wen Yuanming's increasingly ugly expression.This honorable minister of the Four Dynasties has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally in the eyes of the elders and senior officials.

Xun Taichang was silent for a moment, then offered something from his sleeve and said: "Jiang Xinjun is at the top of his martial arts and has outstanding military achievements. He can be the new king."

Putting the phrase "The pinnacle of martial arts" at the forefront, Xun Taichang looked at the sharp-edged Lord Chang Xin calmly, with a rare hint of complexity in his eyes.

…………

Yingyi, Gaoyang's old residence!
This large mansion was empty inside, exuding an aura of decadence and decay.

The prince therefore abandoned this long-established city, not only taking away his loyal people, but also burning all the things that could not be taken away, leaving the city in ruins.

If he were not a prince, he would have considered the camp as one of his bases, and would not have done anything to the best of his ability, nor would he have ordered his subordinates to burn the camp.I'm afraid that the camp at this time will not just decline.

tread!tread!tread!
Xun Shaoyu strode into the mansion with the support of all the clan elders and senior officials, and went straight into the main hall.Immediately, a armored soldier rushed into the mansion, the armor leaves rustled, and their steps were uniform.

"My lord, please inherit your ambition!"

Under the leadership of the three elders of the Xun family, many elders and nobles of the clan took the lead in persuading them to come forward.

"My lord, please inherit your ambition!"

Dozens of senior officials and hundreds of ministers kowtowed, and in unison they urged Xun Shaoyu, who was sitting at the top, to proceed.

Xun Shaoyu was sitting on the main seat, and voices of encouragement coming from below came like a flood.His face was calm and indifferent, looking at the faces below that seemed both unfamiliar and familiar.

These faces were all important figures in Nanyang Yeting in the past.Now she is trembling and crouching at his feet.

Under Xun Shaoyu's gaze, all the elders' heads lowered again and again.At this moment, no one of these old and rebellious clan officials dared to underestimate Xun Shaoyu, a bastard.Xun Shaoyu's seemingly humble face concealed a ruthlessness that no one could imagine.

After all, Yingyi, a large city with a hundred thousand Guizhou heads, was now half destroyed and almost turned into a ruins, with countless innocent casualties.

Although these tragedies were not caused by Xun Shaoyu, who could not feel a little cold after witnessing the tragedies in front of them?
"My lord, please inherit the ambition of Marquis Wen!"

Xun Taichang persuaded him to come in solemnly, holding a treasure order in his palm, on which the flying phoenix seal was inscribed, containing the brilliant meaning of the law.

This treasure order is the military order of the [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon]. The person holding this military order is the leader of this Taoist army, and controls the most powerful force of the Lu Kingdom.

When Nanyang Yeting collapsed, Xun Shangguan entrusted this treasure order to Xun Taichang, and asked Xun Taichang, the number one master of the Xun family, to take care of it.But now that the situation has reached this point, Xun Taichang has no choice but to present this precious order.

Xun Taichang and Wen Yuanming were severely injured and had lost the last confidence to face Xun Shaoyu. Even if he finally held the [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon] in his hands, he would not be able to reverse the situation.

Master Wen, who seemed to be aloof from the incident, looked at the indifferent Xun Shaoyu and smiled bitterly, feeling deeply that current events were changing.Although Xun Shaoyu was only one person and had no confidants on his left or right, if the old teacher had a firmer attitude, he would definitely make many people have concerns.

But if Grand Master Wen really broke up with Xun Shaoyu, apart from making people slander him in vain, it would be difficult to get the sincere support of these people.

However, Grand Master Wen, a supreme wandering immortal on earth, finally fell off the altar under the siege of the three great martial saints.At that time, Xun Shaoyu was at his peak, and after killing the three major swordsmen, his power was indeed superior to that of the old master.

"Everyone, you are trying to trap me into injustice!"

Xun Shaoyu looked angry and said: "We, the Yingkou League, have already publicly recommended Gongziyan as the new king, and Gongziyan is the legitimate new king. How can we turn a blind eye now and treat the league's decision as useless."

An elder in linen clothes said bluntly: "Young Master Yan has little virtue, so why should he take on the great responsibilities of the country? Only Lord Changxin can outlast the others and usher in the prosperity of our country for a hundred generations."

Mai knelt down on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, and said: "Young Master Yan De is not convinced by everyone, we will ask Lord Chang Xin to inherit the throne!"

What is the general trend? The sect elders kneeling in the lobby are the real general trend.No matter how ambitious Xun Shaoyu was, no matter how humble Xun Shaoyu was, there was no obstacle for Xun Shaoyu to become a king.

Wen Yuanming looked at the ridiculous scene in front of him indifferently, and finally had to bow his head to Xun Shaoyu and said: "Old minister, please take over the throne, Mr. Changxin, and carry forward the aspirations of the ancestors of the Lu Kingdom."

"Old minister, please inherit the throne and carry forward the ambitions of the ancestors." At this time, Wen Yuanming never mentioned the matter of Young Master Yan, and spoke with a strong and upright face.

The general trend was such that Wen Yuanming could not control the fierce desire of his officials to persuade him to advance.For the sake of future generations, the old master could only allow this step.Otherwise, given Xun Shaoyu's ruthless nature, the old master would be able to protect himself, but if something goes wrong, it would definitely become a source of trouble for his descendants in the future.

Xun Shaoyu watched Wen Yuanming bow his head in submission for the first time, with a hint of surprise on his face.

It was appropriate for the old master to bow his head. In the current situation, Wen Yuanming had to bow his head even if he didn't.The injuries caused to Wen Yuanming by the three great martial arts saints have shaken his foundation.With his vitality greatly reduced, he could no longer threaten Xun Shaoyu.

Even with the two trump cards of [Black Water Warrior] and [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon] in his hands, Wen Yuanming was not confident that he could restrain Xun Shaoyu.

…………

"Good means...really good means..."

"It's true that there are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones!"

Witnessing "Persuading" with his own eyes, Wen Yuanming strode heavy steps, and when he stepped into the gate of Wen Mansion, his expression was sluggish, and his tall and straight spine was slightly bent.

This confrontation, both overt and covert, made Wen Yuanming physically and mentally exhausted more than ever before.Especially looking at the ruins around him and the cowering people in Guizhou, Wen Yuanming laughed at himself.

Si Ziqi came towards him and said respectfully: "Father!"

"Um……"

Wen Yuanming nodded, looked at his legitimate daughter and son-in-law, his expression was slightly shocked, and said in a deep voice: "You all listen, from today onwards, I will thank guests behind closed doors, and no one will come to the door."

Si Ziqi's face was frozen, and he didn't dare to ask in detail. He bowed and said, "No,"

Wen Yang looked at Master Wen's livid face and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Yuanming took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in his chest, and said: "What's wrong...it's okay. Remember not to leave the house easily recently. My Wen family is already conspicuous enough. During this period, you don't need me." The Wen family is too conspicuous, otherwise disaster is not far away!"

After that, Wen Yuanming raised his feet and walked slowly towards the mansion, but for some unknown reason, his figure looked a little rickety and old.

This meeting in Yingkou resulted in Wen Yuanming's defeat and made the old master clearly realize that it was impossible to suppress Xun Shaoyu.Xun Shaoyu's wings were full and his martial arts was at its peak. After establishing his power in the Yingkou battle, Wen Yuanming just wanted to suppress him, but he was probably powerless.

Si Ziqi looked at the lonely back of the old master and suddenly remembered something, he opened his mouth to speak but stopped.

"Father!"

Wen Yuanming paused, cast a glance at the hesitant Si Ziqi, and said, "Huh? What's the matter, what can't you just say?"

There was already a hint of dissatisfaction in these words, which made Si Ziqi force himself to straighten up, his face still hesitant.

Wen Yuanming looked unhappy and said, "Why, is there something you can't say to me?"

Si Ziqi lowered his head and whispered: "It's nothing, it's just Gongziyan... Gongziyan unfortunately died during the melee in Yingyi."

Gongziyan, whom Wen Yuanming highly recommended, was suddenly affected by the aftermath of the melee between Xun Shaoyu and several major sword masters, and now his body can be said to be gone.

The old Master Wenyan froze, and Xun Shaoyu's humble face appeared in his mind for no reason, and he murmured to himself: "Gongziyan... is it unfortunate that he died? He really can't wait for a moment? He is really such a dark heart. !”

When he thought of Xun Shaoyu constantly mentioning Gongziyan, who was now dead and gone, when the ministers were "hard-working" to persuade him to come in, the old master felt even colder in his heart.

"Gongziyan... has ended up with no body left. Are you warning me that if I don't retreat bravely, I'm afraid it will be ten times a hundred times worse than Gongziyan?"

The old master suddenly thought about it and took out a black bronze military order from his sleeve, handed it directly to Si Ziqi, and said: "Give this black water order arrow to Lord Chang Xin. No need to say anything more, Lord Chang Xin." As long as you see this command arrow, you will naturally know what I mean."

As he spoke, Wen Yuanming shook his head and said, "Now I am empty-handed, there is nothing left!"
