At the same time, you need to travel through all realms and add some deep blue

Ruan Yushu, who was eating a lot but paying attention to the lecture, rolled her eyes. She didn’t choke because she ate too fast. Professional foodies don’t die from eating too much. She has special swallowing skills.

She rolled her eyes because the two were talking about the fourth prince’s suitability for the emperor. She didn’t understand. She felt that there was some secret. It was obviously a team of three people...

Okay, they knew each other first, and I’m a passerby. OK, that’s fine. Let’s continue eating.

“I once fought with someone who was suspected to be the Demon Queen and barely escaped. Except that she couldn’t cause changes in the celestial phenomena, her strength and realm were close to half a step outside. She was originally one of the strongest in this world in my mind, but today... maybe there are stronger hidden masters in this world hiding behind the scenes, or the person who is suspected to be the Demon Queen is letting her go.”

Xiao Meng exhaled. Obviously, he was a little scared after the brief fight with the mysterious man today and the person who was suspected to be the Demon Queen. He thought that he could pretend to be cool after entering the reincarnation after being on the human list, just like when he used the reincarnation talisman to go back to the world he had experienced before to level up, and he could also be invincible in that world.

I didn't expect to be beaten up in a row. It seems that even in a single-player world, the average strength will rise and should not be underestimated.

Xiao Meng continued: "Speaking of which, this family is strong in Confucianism. Rites, music, archery, charioteering and calligraphy are all abandoned. Those who can be called great Confucianists are all very strong, such as the right prime minister, 'Reincarnation of the Star Lord' Wang Derang, and the half-Confucian and half-Taoist national teacher Changle Zhenren. They all insist on the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, reject outsiders, and despise those who abuse force. If you want to assassinate the emperor and the prince, even the Demon Queen Sword Emperor, you have to plan for a long time and find an opportunity."

"In addition, if there is no righteousness, the court is in chaos, and it will probably take a lot of time to select a real emperor."

Gu Meng frowned: "Having said that, I still don't want to use the prince chosen by this dog emperor. I am somewhat resistant to the Seventh Prince that the Dog Emperor likes... How is the situation with the Crown Prince. "

Xiao Meng said: "The Emperor has been in office for many years and is getting older. He is wary of the Crown Prince. In short, it is all about those conspiracies and power struggles, dog-eat-dog. Therefore, if there is an emperor's will, other princes may also ascend to the throne. However, after the emperor fell into a coma, the Right Prime Minister, who was always loyal to the emperor, stayed overnight in the Taiji Hall to prevent anyone from tampering with the will. "

"This matter cannot be explained for a while, so let the eldest brother make the decision himself."

"Okay." Gu Meng thought about it and decided to meet the Third Prince first. After all, he is the power that Xiao Meng relies on. Even if he chooses someone else, he should say it.

Let's see his character, temperament, talent, etc. first.

Gu Meng thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. The Demon Queen should not have held back on you. Normal masters in this world cannot reach the level of Gu Xiaosang. I sense the aura, and the attack on you today should be an exception."

"So that's how it is. It seems that this world is not as scary as I imagined..." Xiao Meng did not ask Gu Meng why he knew it. Big brother always knows everything.

After a few more words, after dinner, Xiao Meng went to greet the third prince first, and Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu left temporarily.

At this time, it was late, and many streets were very quiet. Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu walked side by side and asked, "In addition to the assistance of the piano sound and assassination, do you have no means to face the enemy head-on?"

Ruan Yushu glanced at him and plucked the guqin lightly.

Zheng! The sound was harsh, and a string of the guqin was played, like a sharp sword.

"Is that so." Gu Meng was wondering when Ruan Yushu would be able to achieve the level of heaven and earth in kung fu.

Ruan Yushu pressed the strings of the guqin, tied them again, and continued to move forward coldly.

The two stepped onto the stone bridge and walked slowly. Suddenly, a white-haired old man appeared in front of them.

He sat on the stone steps, his back to Gu Meng, leaning on a long sword in front of him. The whole person seemed to be there and not there, as if he was between existence and non-existence, which gave people a very strange feeling.

Gu Meng's expression did not change, but he blocked Ruan Yushu behind him.

"I heard that 'Ba Dao' Gu Meng is both a master of sword and sword, and he is invincible in the world. I want to give it a try."

The old man slowly stood up, his momentum changed, like a long sword out of the sheath, the sharpness went straight into Gu Meng's heart.

After standing up, Gu Meng found that the old man was tall, and he looked burly and majestic even though he was old. He turned around and showed a face full of traces of wind and frost, with age spots and deep wrinkles.

But his bright eyes were not as turbid as normal at this age. They were so clear that they seemed to reflect the figures of Gu Meng and Ruan Yushu.

The hand that drew out the long sword was also steady without a trace of shaking, as if repeating the action of hammering and chiseling thousands of times. The cut-outs of each moment were exactly the same except for the different distances, which was shocking.

Compared with him, the ordinary Jiuqiao may not be inferior in body, internal energy and skills, but the realm is far apart. There is no such feeling that every move is in accordance with the law, and there is harmony between movement and stillness.

However, there is still a lot of difference. This old man is still a layer of window paper away from opening the gate between the eyebrows, but after opening, the inner and outer world can immediately meet, that is to say, at this realm, he can directly cross the half-step outer scene.

"With this realm, you are the Sword Emperor?"

Although Gu Meng was asking, he was affirmative, and there was no respect.

Suddenly a stranger came to test the sword. If he had not felt the killing intention of the old man, he would have killed him with one knife.

Ruan Yushu next to him was still expressionless, not shocked or afraid. With this man standing in front of her, no one in this world could hurt her.

The old man walked forward slowly, slashing out with his long sword at will. The moves seemed simple, but they seemed to be constantly changing. However, Gu Meng only slightly stimulated a trace of sword energy and directly broke his state of mind.

The old man frowned, secretly guessing Gu Meng's true strength, dodged sideways, and stretched out his long sword. Countless changes occurred, as if forming a spider web, layer after layer, flaws connected to traps, traps connected to flaws, dazzling people.

There were several obvious flaws in the moves, but there might be hidden traps. However, these were really meaningless. Gu Meng showed a bit of the realm of the Heavenly Sword, and the sword of the Sword Emperor had already surrendered, blocking all the old man's next words.

He originally wanted to weigh Gu Meng's martial arts, thinking that his realm had reached the pinnacle and should not be weaker than Gu Meng. Finally, he said some of his own martial arts insights over the years, which were very high-profile and could also make a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated in an instant, with only two moves in total, and it could even be said that the opponent did not really make a move.

Because the first move was obviously a let-down, but he was the one who was in a dominant position and continued to attack without knowing the danger after being let off. The second move was just a shock, which was not a move at all.

"Your sword is nothing more than two kinds, one is from complex to simple, and the other is from simple to complex. The former is the truth of the sword, and it is easy to cut and kill the opponent's sword moves. The latter is derived from all methods, exhausting changes, and calculating layer by layer, making people exhausted and difficult to escape and break."

"These two are not different paths, but the yin and yang of the sword, complementing each other."

"But no matter from complex to simple, or from simple to complex, the sword is ultimately based on "I". Although your sword skills are fancy, you still put some thought into it. It is your own sword. You have entered the door of the sword, and it is worth watching."

Gu Meng stood with his hands behind his back, forcing the air to run wild. The old man felt that Gu Meng was not only a fighter The strength and realm are high, so he can only sigh:

"Your realm... I... I am far behind. I only picked up the long sword eight years ago and got the title of "Sword Emperor". I thought I was already at the top of the world's swordsmen. I didn't expect that there are people who are better than me and mountains who are better than mountains. I have embarrassed myself today."

It turned out to be the Sword Emperor... Gu Meng was not surprised, but just asked: "Sword Emperor... You were right. The swordmen in the world respect you, but unfortunately I am a heavenly person... Did you give up the sword before?"

"No, it's just that I forgot about the sword at that time."

The Sword Emperor did not think Gu Meng was arrogant. He felt that Gu Meng was a god among swordsmen, and naturally a god in heaven.

"So that's how it is. There is no sword in the heart, but there is a sword in the hand; there is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart. Not bound by physical objects, flowers, trees, and everything are your long sword; the sword is you, and you are the sword; the sword and I forget each other... After crossing all these, you picked up the sword again... I have to say that your realm is very high."

Gu Meng's words were actually really complimenting people, but seeing that the sword of the Sword Emperor was still bowing to him, if someone who didn't know about it, they might think that Gu Meng was mocking him.

The Sword Emperor could hear that Gu Meng was really complimenting him. Although he was commenting on the sword of the world as a sword god, he felt even more ashamed. Seeing that Gu Meng didn't intend to hurt him, he covered his face and retreated, disappearing into the darkness.

He was the master behind the fourth prince. He originally wanted to make friends with Gu Meng, and it would be best if he could teach him martial arts. By the way, he would remind Lu Guan through Gu Meng not to be anxious, because whoever succeeded the emperor would use him to drive out the Western Tartars, but this time he was just asking for trouble.

…………

In the inn, after listening to Gu Meng's retelling of the current situation in the capital, and asking him about his plans, Lu Guan smiled bitterly and said:

"Lu has only the illusory support of the Iron Mountain Army. What can I use to intervene in the dispute over the throne? I will ask to see the right prime minister as soon as possible and become a die-hard royal party. I will support whoever succeeds to the throne."

He pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, not everyone who ascends the throne has to use me. If any prince has reached a peace agreement with the Western Tartars in private and the situation has eased, I am afraid I will have to be idle again. But this is also good. The people are spared from the disaster of war. I just hope that they will not give in too much."

Gu Meng frowned slightly. He was not very determined to advocate war. He felt that he was not as good as Yue Fei... He hoped that a prince who was tough and had superb means would succeed to the throne. Although he was not from this world and could sit back and watch these things, he was happy.

Speaking of which, the Western Tartars stationed troops in the upper reaches of the Pei River and could move south at any time. Their choice also affected the changes in the throne.

The Western Tartars' envoys for peace talks had already entered the capital. Where are they now? Who are you secretly colluding with?

Gu Meng stood up suddenly and decided to go and find out the situation, see it with his own eyes, and kill some more people by the way.

…

"My father has passed away..."

The fourth prince shook his right hand, looked up at the thundering imperial city, muttered to himself, and had mixed emotions in his heart, not knowing whether he was angry or sad, relieved or secretly happy.

…

…

Well, it was actually Gu Meng who did it, but in fact there were many people who did it. The Demon Queen wanted to break into the palace, the Right Prime Minister intercepted, the Crown Prince instructed, and the Left Prime Minister wanted to drug. Everyone was a father and a son. Gu Meng didn't come openly, and he went straight to the palace to be unparalleled, violated the ban with force, and swept the imperial power. It was not necessarily a good thing.

It was good that the fourth prince was just secretly happy, at least he didn't let the Sword Emperor go to the palace to assassinate.

By the way, Gu Meng looked around, the third prince was not very good, and he looked like a master, and he really felt that the fourth prince was more reliable.

The crown prince murdered the king. The seventh prince felt that he was not powerful enough in the capital. He wanted to leave the capital and start an uprising in the southeast. It would take too long to succeed. Moreover, he had made friends with bandits and had already been dealt with by Gu Meng. The news of the seventh prince's death had not yet spread, and his subordinates were still looking for someone.

Well... excluding the above options, there are actually not many people who are qualified.

This dog emperor already has many heirs, so let's choose the fourth prince. If that doesn't work, we can add some mental hints (ideological stamps) to make him a good emperor who is dedicated to the country and never stupid.

This is what Gu Meng should do, no need to thank him.

He really has to thank Gu Meng for appointing him as the emperor.

"What do you say?" Now Gu Meng has brought Xiao Meng, who has severed his relationship with the third prince, to the fourth prince.

"Fourth prince..." The Sword Emperor whispered to the fourth prince about Gu Meng's strength, saying that he is the real number one in the world, a god-like figure. With his help, it's safe, just go straight.

The fourth prince's face was as heavy as water but he didn't show panic. At this time, he already knew that he was only one step away from the king, but at this time, his mood was complicated but his behavior was very decisive. Maybe he had been prepared for this day:

"Seventh brother wants to leave Beijing, the world is in chaos... Big brother is so cruel that he killed his father and the king!"

The guards and swordsmen next to him were waiting for this sentence. The swords were unsheathed and pointed to the sky. The sound of clanging was endless, showing their loyalty.

Gu Meng was calm and waited until they calmed down before stepping forward: "Now there is one thing that the Fourth Prince must do immediately."

"What is it?" The matter came suddenly, and the Fourth Prince was a little unprepared, so he had to pretend to ask his master.

Gu Meng said calmly: "You can ignore the others for the time being. What you must do immediately is to win more support and determine the status. First, send someone to the posthouse to invite General Lu, impress him with the prince's murder of the king, and go to the military camp in the city with him to force the General of the Western Expedition to surrender."

"This is the top priority!" The Fourth Prince nodded, "With General Lu coming forward, I am very relieved."

In the past, the Tieshan Army was powerful, and Lu Guan's subordinates were all good generals and elite soldiers. Therefore, after he was demoted, the emperor divided and disrupted the Tieshan Army, and 30% of the soldiers and generals were arranged in the imperial guards of the capital, under the command of the General of the Western Expedition.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial power is solemn, and these generals and soldiers dare not act rashly or disobey the imperial order even if they respect Lu Guan.

But when the emperor passed away and the situation was chaotic, if Lu Guan was accompanied by the Fourth Prince, the symbol of the imperial power, and there were rumors that the Crown Prince had killed the emperor and the Seventh Prince had left the capital, these generals and soldiers would most likely follow Lu Guan and ignore the orders of the General of the Western Expedition. This is why several princes wanted to win over Lu Guan, just in case.

Moreover, Lu Guan used the Fourth Prince's identity to win over the soldiers and generals, so that the Fourth Prince would not be suspicious afterwards. He could gain trust and complete the task. It didn't matter if he didn't believe it. He just added an extra stamp. I'm sure the Sixth Prince wouldn't make things difficult for him, Gu Meng.
