Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 598 Fetal Breath Dafa and Sword Qi

After one night, Ye Chen sat up from the bed, full of energy and completely new.

The noise came from the direction of the street, giving Ye Chen a strange feeling of returning to the world.

He picked up the fish sausage sword beside the pillow, casually held it in his hand, stood up, opened the door and went out.

When I came to the dining hall on the first floor of the inn, there were more than 20 tables, half of which were occupied by guests, playing games of chess and wine, and it was very lively. From the outside, it should be the majority of passing vendors and tourists.

All the good seats were taken by others, Ye Chen randomly chose a table in the middle to sit down, ordered a few side dishes, and ordered a pot of burning knives.

The wine came first.

Ye Chen uncorked the pot, took a sip, and then sprayed it into the sky. The wine poured down to the surrounding guests like a fountain. More than 20 guests cursed, but it only lasted for two or three breaths. As the wine seeped into the bodies of these guests , The shouting and cursing gradually disappeared, and the entire first floor of the inn was dead silent.All the guests sat in their seats, continuing to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.

Then, not long after, an old Taoist walked in, glanced casually, and walked straight towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen raised his glass to the old Taoist and said with a smile: "Senior must be Daoist Zhang from the Taiping Sect. Come and see me. I would like to offer you a toast."

Zhang Wumeng sat down slowly at this time, stared at Ye Chen for a long time, found a strange blood color in the latter's eyes, couldn't help shrinking his pupils, felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "Sure enough in this way."

Thinking like this, Zhang Wumeng said: "Give me the three jade pendants, and I will no longer..."

However, before Zhang Wumeng finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

More than 20 guests, waiters, and shopkeepers in the inn suddenly moved very abruptly or without warning. They picked up stools, bowls, chopsticks, plates and other things that could be used as weapons and threw them at Zhang Wumeng. .

Zhang Wumeng couldn't help being surprised, but after realizing that these people were just ordinary people, he ignored them because Ye Chen had already moved.

"Zheng!"

Ye Chen unsheathed his sword, and pierced out with a seemingly ordinary sword, but Zhang Wumeng's expression froze.

Accompanied by Zhang Wumeng's loud shout, more than 20 ordinary people flew upside down, all spurting blood from their mouths, and all of them died on the spot.

But the death of more than 20 people is not worthless, at least Ye Chen felt that Zhang Wumeng's aura stagnated for a moment, which is the aura that the latter would have if the realm reached half a step above the innate powerhouse.

But when Ye Chen's sword was about to land on Zhang Wumeng, Zhang Wumeng seemed to disappear suddenly, and Ye Chen couldn't sense Zhang Wumeng anymore. The terrible thing was that Zhang Wumeng's spiritual sense was completely grasped with him.

He didn't know when to make a move, let alone what method Zhang Wumeng would use.

The whole situation changed completely in an instant, and he was completely passive, losing the opportunity.

The scorching hot and cold zhenqi from Dantian blended with each other and struck out through the sword. Ye Chen followed the wonderful induction in the dark, turned around and stabbed at a place on the right.

A wonderful scene happened.

The scorching and icy sword energy turned into an astonishing blue-red flame, outlining the figure of Zhang Wumeng who had been hidden by some unknown means, so miraculous that it was hard to believe what the eyes saw.

The wonderful true energy from the dantian can not only be transformed into sword energy, but also stab straight to the gap between Zhang Wumeng's flat palms, with unimaginable precision.

Surprised, Zhang Wumeng immediately changed his move. He closed his palms together like hands, and sent out another burst of strength to meet Ye Chen's "Sword Flame", which was like a magical pen.

Ye Chen himself never thought that his true energy would have such a miraculous effect that it could turn into sword energy and attack out of body.But the reaction was not slow at all, following the momentum of the sword, he actually urged the sword energy with all his strength, and rushed towards Zhang Wumeng.

"Pong!"

Zhang Wumeng's true strength collided with the blue and white sword flames, and immediately turned into blue-red light spots splashing to both sides, like fireworks in full bloom, so beautiful that it is difficult to describe it in any words.

Zhang Wumeng trembled violently, let out a muffled snort, flew back, and disappeared again in a flash.

Ye Chen was also knocked back by the shock force.Just as he was about to continue attacking, his body shook suddenly, the blood in his eyes flashed away, and the will of the black blood Gu mother controlled him to leave this place.

With Ye Chen's current strength, without the eight-stone bow, he couldn't kill Zhang Wumeng at all.So the Black Blood Gu Mother decisively controlled Ye Chen to leave.

Zhao Kuangyin was once depressed these days.Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi formed a faction and deliberately created his own faction. Zhao Kuangyin gave hints and vigilance several times these days, but nothing seemed to work. Zhao Guangyi was still going his own way without restraint.The most important thing is that he has already felt that this force is deeply rooted in Kaifeng City, and has become another core of power outside the Song court, which has reached a level that cannot be ignored.

As the saying goes, running a country is easy but running a family is difficult.If this force came from a courtier of a different surname, no matter how powerful he was, how stubborn his fortress was, and how rampant his activities were, with Zhao Kuangyin's shrewd martial arts and tough and sophisticated political methods, he would never hesitate to destroy or smash it.Just one sentence, a little surgery, and even without using a large army, the officials who should be demoted, the exiles who should be exiled, and the heads of those who should be exiled can make this force collapse and disappear.

Back then, the ten brothers in Yishe were all experienced and rebellious generals.Zhao Kuangyin only needed a glass of wine and a few words to make them tremble, and obediently handed over their military power.

But this is his own younger brother. Zhao Kuangyin has watched him grow up since he was a child, and has been vigorously cultivating and promoting him since he ascended the throne. His son returned the kiss, he couldn't do anything cruel, and couldn't bear to ruin his life.Besides, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to be infamous for killing brothers and brothers, and fratricide. He has always hated such a faint king in history.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin fell into deep depression.To this imperial brother, it was like holding a hot pancake in his hands, it was hot to hold, and he was reluctant to throw it away.It's like facing a piece of tofu that fell into the ashes, blowing it can't clean it,

He couldn't fight, he really didn't know what to do?
These days, Zhao Kuangyin was thinking over and over again on nights of silence.This kind of matter cannot be discussed with anyone, but can only be weighed in one's own heart.

Sometimes he can't figure it out, why does this younger brother do this?My elder brother who is the emperor has never treated him badly.As the king of Jin, he assisted the government and before the prime minister, he was already under one person and above ten thousand people, and his power was extremely hot. What else do you want? Do you have to sit on this dragon chair?

Besides, even if you want to be the emperor and rule the world, you can't be so impatient and impatient.My elder brother is only 43 years old, and I am in good health. Is it too early to die?You are only 34 years old, even if you want to be the emperor, you have to wait until I return home with the crane!You, Zhao Guangyi, should know that since the Five Dynasties, it has been the practice of various dynasties that all princes who are about to succeed to the throne are awarded the important position of Kaifeng Fuyin.Since I ascended to the rank of Li, I appointed you as Kaifeng's prefect. It's not that I didn't think about passing it on to you. Why are you so eager for success?
In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin did have plans to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi instead of his son Zhao Dezhao or Zhao Defang after a hundred years.Because there is a secret of the "Golden Chamber Alliance".

As early as the second year of Jianlong, Zhao Kuangyin's mother, Queen Mother Du, suddenly became seriously ill.When he was on the verge of dying, he entrusted Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu to stay on his sickbed.

Zhao Kuangyin has been very respectful and filial to his mother since he was a child. His mother's shrewdness, intelligence, generosity and benevolence have a very distinct impact on Zhao Kuangyin's body and mind.

Zhao Kuangyin came to his mother's bed and looked at the empress's sick body and haggard appearance. She was in pain like a thousand arrows piercing her heart. She prostrated herself on the ground and wept, exchanging tears.

Empress Dowager Du looked at her son, feeling sore in her heart, she suppressed tears and asked, "You have been on the throne for more than a year, have you ever thought about why you can become emperor?"

Zhao Kuangyin was crying so hard that his heart was broken, the sky was dark and the sky was dark, when he heard the question from his mother, he was so speechless.Zhao Pu, who was kneeling on the side, felt that the Queen Mother's question was abrupt and strange, and knew that there must be a big order,

He just looked at the emperor quietly, not daring to say a word.

The Empress Dowager raised her head reluctantly, sighed deeply, and raised her voice, saying: "I am approaching sixty years old, and I will die at the end of my life at this time. Life and death are determined by fate. This is the number of days. My son does not need to be too sad. Life is like me. It is extremely glorious to be a queen mother like this. Since ancient times, how many people can there be? Besides, the ancients said, "Being a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", but my son was originally a commoner. Out of generals, into prime ministers, and leaping to great treasures, creating my Zhao family's country and society, honoring my ancestors at the top, and quilt the descendants at the bottom, how many times better than that Sun Zhongmou? What a blessing my wife is, even if she dies, she will smile at Jiuquan, my son You have to mourn and take care of yourself.”

At this point, Empress Dowager Du was panting, so she had to pause for a while.

Zhao Kuangyin lay on the ground and listened, but his crying became more and more uncontrollable.

Empress Dowager Du had no choice but to raise her voice again, pretending to be angry and said: "I don't have much time now, I have something important to tell you, why do you only know how to cry? I just asked you, do you know why you can win the world?" ?”

Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his grief, and hurriedly replied with sobs: "This is all the result of my father's and mother's discipline and upbringing since childhood, and it is also caused by the virtues of Zhao's ancestors."

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Du shook her head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "My son was wrong, these are just clichés. The reason why you can become emperor smoothly is neither because of how talented you are, nor because of your parents or grandparents. This is due to virtue. The so-called ruler is governed by the destiny, which is purely absurd. The reason why you can own the world and become the ruler of the world is entirely due to the fate of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong."
