Fish swimming around the world

The thin water knife was moving very slowly, so slowly that it was visible to the naked eye. At the moment when the two met, the light shield suddenly stopped and trembled violently. The five-color halo was actually somewhat misplaced, as if it was about to break apart.

But the next moment, the light shield retreated violently, while the water knife remained motionless. The light shield suddenly stopped and moved forward again, colliding with the water knife. The shield cracked, retreated again, and moved forward again. The crack changed from one to two, retreated three times, and advanced three times, and the crack changed from two to four.

The advance and retreat suddenly accelerated, faster and faster, and finally it was so fast that the front and back landing points were connected as a whole, like a three-foot thick shield.

At the same time, the three-foot thick shield was also breaking layer by layer, and thousands of five-color fragments were broken like a kaleidoscope, with gorgeous light and shadow, beautiful beyond words.

That line of water knife, firm and condensed, pressed layer by layer, breaking the light shield, but slowly, it also trembled slightly.

The light shield that repeatedly moved back and forth produced an astonishing high frequency. Although it broke layer by layer, it shook the water knife with this tremor. The five-color ring was rotating dislocated, and the water knife began to become somewhat distorted.

Finally, the light shield exploded, and countless fragments fell like thousands of butterflies, and the water knife also flashed a streak of water and then dissipated.

"You lost." Jiang Zhan looked at the young woman opposite with a calm look.

Li Luo looked at the last floating water drop in front of him with interest, and nodded slowly: "I lost."

"Make way, I don't care about what happened today."

Li Luo chuckled, blew off the drop of water, moved his feet, and stepped aside to make way.

"King of Swords, please."

Jiang Zhan looked at her deeply and strode past.

Ah Li looked at Jiang Zhan going away, frowning, she didn't understand the battle just now. But obviously, Li Luo failed to completely resist the water knife.

But she also found that there was no demonic energy emerging from Li Luo, and the five-color halo seemed to be just a simple condensation of true essence.

"Jiang Zhan is really scary."

Li Luo smiled and nodded: "The thousand-year-old Jiang family, the first martial arts genius, is said to be better than Dazai in terms of martial arts talent. It's really interesting."

Ah Li didn't care how strong Jiang Zhan was, she was just puzzled: "Why do you want to help Jiang Fan?"

Li Luo said lightly: "Help him? No, I am very grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to fight a strong man like Jiang Zhan. I said it, it's fun to follow him."

"But you helped him after all!" Ah Li gritted his teeth.

Li Luo looked at her: "Do I have a grudge against him personally?"

Ah Li was stunned, then frowned: "No."

"He went to war with the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Ah Li gritted his teeth: "No."

"Oh, then even if I help him, what's the problem?"

"But sooner or later..."

"Sooner or later, even if it hasn't happened yet, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry. Let's go, let's go, Jing Ke is still waiting."

He turned around and waved his hand, leaving gracefully.

At this time, Jiang Zhan, who had already flown ten miles away, suddenly swayed slightly, stopped, and looked a little pale. The next moment, he slowly stretched out his right sleeve, and between his two raised fingers, there was a five-colored fragment that was still trembling violently. Jiang Zhan frowned, and used two fingers to exert force. In an instant, the fragment turned into light and shadow and dissipated.

"Terrible young man... Who are you?"

--

Jiang Zhan was delayed on the road, but Jiang Fan had already appeared in the court when he saw the Demon Lord.

On this day, all the officials gathered in the court, the atmosphere was solemn, no one talked, and no one even made a move. They seemed to be holding their breath and concentrating, giving people a sense of depression that a storm was about to come.

Because everyone knew that there were two major events today. First, the prince would enthrone the leader of the five countries. Second, the prince would break the situation since Taizong and re-enthrone the hidden prime minister of the country.

These two things were extremely extraordinary and even more sensitive.

First of all, the leaders of the five countries. The civil and military officials who are not aware of the situation have argued over and over again. Ninety-nine percent of them cannot understand, let alone accept.

This is also obvious. Who can understand that the world is not three hundred princes, let alone eighteen kings. There are only five major countries, and they still need to choose a leader? What is the imperial court for?

And when it comes to themselves, it is even more unacceptable. For no reason, there is an extra mountain on their heads. How can a scholar bear it?

Then, there is the hidden prime minister who guards the country.

Although it was not mentioned in name since Taizong, its existence has been denied in fact. Since then, everyone thought that there would be no more prime minister Jiang who restricted the imperial power and surpassed all officials in the Great Zhou. But the prince dug out the thousand-year-old calendar, and for some reason, he had to re-select the hidden prime minister of the country. It is also incomprehensible, and it is naturally even more difficult to accept the second mountain on his head.

But no matter how noisy the people were, the prince remained indifferent, and even publicly stated that the matter was a matter of the Five Nations Alliance and the secret court's supervision, which was reasonable and legal, and was an established fact, and there was no need to argue.

But how could the civil and military officials tolerate it? They had been arguing non-stop for days, and the prince seemed annoyed, so he simply claimed that his illness had recurred and went to recuperate.

The officials had no choice but to wait until today to see what the situation was.

The oppressive atmosphere continued until the prince Ji Zongyi appeared, and the eunuch Wang Gonggong shouted to open the court, and it was slightly relaxed.

But it was only for a moment, because the prince had almost no nonsense, and he started with one word: "Announce!"

So the eunuch Wang took out an imperial edict on the spot and read it aloud.

“The Emperor of Heaven, who carries the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Our Great Zhou was established by Heaven, and has been for 985 years. Since Taizu and Taizong, the throne of the Emperor has been passed down for 18 generations, and they have worked hard to govern the country. The rivers and seas have been peaceful, the people are happy, and the four barbarians are submissive.

However, since the three hundred princes started the war, the seventy-two princes rebelled, and the eighteen kings rebelled. Until now, the world has been in constant strife, the four seas are difficult to calm, and hundreds of millions of people are suffering. To this day, the princes are divided into five parts, originally to seek peace in the five directions, but the wars are still going on. As descendants of the Great Zhou, we are worried and only hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. However, since the northern barbarians came south, the imperial court has been in chaos for ten years. The wars have depleted the treasury, and the soldiers are gone, which is embarrassing.

I tossed and turned day and night, worried and unable to sleep. In order to protect the country and the people of our ancestors, I intend to follow the example of the previous emperor, plan an alliance among the princes, select a great and wise king to lead, discuss state affairs together, assist the imperial court, and eliminate disputes.

Today, there is the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where etiquette is followed and the people are prosperous, and it is regarded as a model for all countries. Its great king Sima Ji is young and strong, with noble character. He respects the imperial court and thinks about the people. He was selected by the five kings to monitor the secret court, and was appointed as the leader of the alliance and led the upper pillar of the country. He should follow the emperor's order to reconcile with the princes and lead strong troops to stabilize the country——"

After the imperial edict was announced, the Ziwei Palace was silent.

All officials bowed their heads, lowered their eyes and looked around, but no one responded immediately.

Jiang Fan sighed in his heart. All officials still couldn't understand, and were even more reluctant. This means that everyone knew about this matter in advance, and the prince must have already done a good job of persuading many important officials to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, if the decree was suddenly announced, it is conceivable that the Ziwei Palace would be in an uproar at this moment.
