"Hu——" Zhang Xiaowu calmed down and looked up at his former friend standing in front of Zhengde Hall. He didn't know what to say. Over the years, he realized that he had been deceiving himself. He always told himself that the Great De Emperor was threatened and deceived by Gu Yong, the Great De Emperor was controlled, and the Great De Emperor was still the Great De Emperor. But now it seems that the Great De Emperor is no longer the Great De Emperor who fought with him. The Great De Emperor wanted to kill him just because he was the only one who could replace him.

"If I were him, would I do this?" Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and shook his head, "I can't. I can't do it, my heart is not dark enough."

"Zhang Xiaowu, why don't you kneel when you see me?" Emperor Dade suddenly shouted, pointing his hand at the Imperial Guard and the White Tiger Army soldiers, "Why don't you kneel down when you are facing the saint?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and at this moment even a fool could understand that Emperor Dade and Zhang Xiao were as powerful as fire and martial arts. One was the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horse who controlled the world's military power, and the other was the Emperor of the Empire. If they had to choose one, they would choose the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horse without hesitation. After all, the emperor would not have the 200,000 army. Years of war have made people more selfish and more clearly realized the importance of military power. No matter how high the identity or the noble status is, it cannot stop the commanding soldiers.

The soldiers refused to kneel down, which made Emperor Dade understand that his final counterattack failed, and he finally lost his military power. His imperial bloodline could not stop Zhang Xiaowu's power. His strength was even smaller and he couldn't help but shake it, but his hands were still the only one who grabbed the purple gold mace, barely preventing himself from falling down.

Xuanyuan Chenghua wanted to come forward to help his father, but Wang Jingzhi grabbed him and said, "Don't help him, this is the emperor's dignity."

Chenghua cried. Looking at his stubborn but thin father, he looked at his master staring in the distance, and couldn't help crying with a sob.

"Shut up, don't cry. You are a dragon son, not a coward!" The great emperor scolded. He had to appear and had to gamble. The Holy Han Empire had been ruled by the Xuanyuan royal family for more than 300 years. He guessed that as long as he appeared, most soldiers would immediately be loyal to him and abandon Zhang Xiaowu. However, it was obvious that he failed and he lost the last chance to fight back. Today is the last day for him to be the emperor. Perhaps today is also the last day for the Xuanyuan clan as the ruler of the empire. Tomorrow, the ruler of the empire will change his surname.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at Emperor Dade with complicated eyes. He shook his head and sighed, and unconsciously walked slowly towards the front of the hall. The steps were 1000 steps, totaling ten feet long. It only took one fifth of the time to walk from below to the front of the hall.

Wang Yijin was startled and rushed in front of him, saying, "Sir, it's dangerous."

Zhang Xiaowu pushed him away, smiled faintly, and continued to walk up the steps.

Wang Yijin shouted loudly: "Protect the general, if anyone dares to hurt him, he will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Qinglong Army and the Imperial Guard also followed and approached the Dade Emperor and the alien killers. The resolute aura of Zhang Xiaowu immediately made the alien killers regret it. They would never have thought that anyone would face thousands of troops, nor did they expect that Zhang Xiaowu would approach them directly.

Ten feet.

Seven feet.

Five zhang.

Three zhang.

One zhang...

Zhang Xiaowu stood on the steps and faced with Emperor Dade. He saw that Emperor Dade's cheeks were deeply sunken. It should have been because he had not recovered from his long illness. He looked at Xuanyuan Chenghua and Wang Jingzhi behind him. Wang Jingzhi's expression was just to die with such a generous expression, but Chenghua grew taller and stronger, but there was a bit of complex emotions in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled faintly and sighed, "You are already determined to be successful if you fail, your Majesty?"

The great emperor said: "Do you still know that I am Your Majesty?"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You are Your Majesty, and you will always be Your Majesty. No one can deny it or change it."

The Great De Emperor pointed at him and said, "I don't want to be the emperor you recognize, I want to be the emperor recognized by everyone in the world."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Don't you believe me?"

The Great De Emperor arrived: "Do you think I should believe you?"

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly untied his clothes, and he threw his clothes on the ground one by one. Everyone was confused. Then he saw him naked, but his body was indeed full of holes and scars. It can be seen how serious he had suffered, and he had been dead for a lifetime.

Zhang Xiaowu pointed to his scar and said, "This scar was left in the northern part of the Seitou area when I was guarding the country for you. This scar was hurt by him when I was chasing Quanyi. This scar was left by me at Zhaixingtai to protect you, here, here, here, and here..." As he spoke, Zhang Xiaowu's tears couldn't help but flow out. His sadness was because of betrayal, because he knew that he would lose a friend today. "We used to trust each other so much. We were on Zhaixingtai and fighting against the rebels! Are that all fake? Tell me? Xuanyuan Zixiao? Are they all fake?"

The Great De Emperor took a step back in shame, looking at the sunset in the distance, and the sun that was about to set was covered in blood, as if it was today.

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing wildly, and shouting loudly. Since childhood, he has never experienced such betrayal. He thought that in the battle of Zhaixingtai, he would do everything he could to be kind to someone, and that person was his friend. He still remembers what Xuanyuan Zixiao said to him that day.

"First!"

"Promise me one thing."

"You become the Asafather of Chenghua."

"I know I can't see the sun, but you still have hope. Surrender. With my head, they will let you go and protect Chenghua."

"The empire can have no me, but the empire can't have no less than you. You can protect the Holy Han's country. Without me, there are other emperors. Without you, the backbone of the Holy Han will be broken."

Those hearts and death statements clearly meant to treat Zhang Xiaowu as his best brother. Now, the best brother wants to kill him. Zhang Xiaowu's heart was like a crystal cup falling on the ground, and an unprecedented sense of betrayal and loss emerged. He couldn't help but say, "You just want me to die?"

The great emperor did not dare to look at his eyes and couldn't help but say, "If you don't die, how can I sleep? If you don't die, how can I hand over the country to Chenghua? If you don't die, how many people in the world still know the Xuanyuan family? If you don't die, I will die first. After I die, the gentry in the world will be loyal to you. Jie Shi does not need you to usurp the power, and they will let you take me and replace him. Therefore, you must die, you must die before me, and I cannot refuse to kill you!"
