Chapter 84 The Ancestor Appears
Seeing the four princes walking into the hall, all the officials were in awe. The high-ranking Han Dynasty emperor Liu Che also hurriedly walked down the steps, with an excited expression on his face, "Brothers, why did you suddenly return to the capital to court?" The Qinglong Prince supported the Han Emperor Liu Che and lamented, "Brother, something is not good!"
Liu Che's eyes swept over his sworn brothers. The four of them had a solemn look on their faces. They suddenly felt a stern in their hearts and said, "Do you have a copy of your dear ministers today? If not, then leave the court." The father-in-law in the palace shouted, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."
The officials in the court looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment. They were probably guessing what the words "The big thing is not good" mean by Prince Qinglong. Emperor Liu Che of Han returned to the hall and waved his sleeves, "Since there is no way to report, then leave the court!" Emperor Han walked down the hall and came to the princes, "Several brothers will follow me to the imperial study."
Liu Che walked in front, and the four of them followed closely. In the imperial study, Liu Che sat in the front seat and said, "You sit too, why haven't you seen each other for a while, we are so unfamiliar with each other?" Prince Zhuque clasped his fists and said, "Although we are sworn brothers, we are now also monarchs and ministers, and the courtesy of monarchs and ministers cannot be abolished!"
Liu Che frowned slightly, then stood up and said, "Oh, why bother to be so arrogant? Brother, isn't my country yours? Now there are no outsiders, so that's all the red tape!"
The Prince of White Tiger was the first to sit down, "That's right, you guys are really getting more and more old-fashioned. Although the elder brother is the king, he is also our elder brother. If you are not in the court at this moment, why are you still acting as a monarch and minister? Tell me!" Prince Zhuque glared at Prince of White Tiger, but he didn't respond. Instead, he made a cup of tea for himself and started to eat snacks.
Liu Che shook his head and sneered, "I said Baihu, it's been so many years, but you haven't changed at all, haha, how does my snack taste like?" The White Tiger Prince took another bite of the snack, his mouth was covered in oil stains, and there was no such thing as a prince. He said lightly, "Brother, your taste of this snack is good, but it's much worse than the steamed buns we had back then!"
Liu Che's hand trembled and picked up a piece of snack, and took a bite, "Yes, this taste is not as good as the white steamed buns in the past!" Prince Zhuque suddenly felt his nose sore, and he put one hand on the shoulder of Emperor Liu Che of Han, shouting with sobs, "Brother, I didn't expect you to remember that year..."
Liu Che took a bite and fell on the ground, and his hands were placed on Prince Zhuque, and he said excitedly, "Third brother, you finally called me brother again!" He turned around and looked at Prince Qinglong and Prince Xuanwu, and said with a sad expression, "I know we have been a lot distant over the years. I believe you must have thought about whether we can be brothers again after becoming a monarch and minister. Then, I will make a vow here today, even if the Han Dynasty is destroyed, I, Liu Che, will still be your elder brother!"
"Oh, I even suspected you, Brother, before, of Xiong Tian's death, so it's not right!" Prince Xuanwu bowed his head and blamed himself. Liu Che just smiled faintly, "Don't say anything, everything is over. Since ancient times, he has been with the king like a tiger. The more a high-ranking minister is, the more anxious he is. It is normal for you to suspect Brother, but Brother doesn't blame you. Fortunately, the knot in his heart has finally been untied today!"
"Brother..." The princes all knelt down and shouted in unison. Liu Che helped them up one by one and said, "Brothers, take your seat and talk about what you are doing to Beijing together this time!"
Prince Xuanwu was the first to speak, "Brother, have you ever heard of the zombies slaughtered in Jinsha City?" Liu Che nodded slowly and said, "The news came yesterday is just where did the zombie come from?"
Prince Xuanwu continued, "Zombies were refined by man!" Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and Prince Baihu looked panicked, "Fourth brother, are you saying that the zombies were slaughtered by the Jinsha City of my Baihu County? Some people had planned it before?"
The prince of Xuanwu had a serious expression, "That's true, and as I expected, this zombie was refined by a demon cultivator." "What? Demon cultivator? Demon cultivator dares to be so arrogant? Why don't those four masters care about it?" Liu Che was shocked.
"Oh, brother, you don't know. If this person dares to slaughter the city with corpses openly, he is definitely not an ordinary magic cultivator. After discussing with the dog, I jointly believed that this corpse-refining person is most likely the branch leader of the Assassin Alliance."
"It's the one who almost slaughtered Xuanwu City last time?" The White Tiger Prince asked with some gloating pleasure. The Xuanwu County Prince raised his eyebrows, "You guy insisted on revealing my scars, right? Where is your Jinsha City better?" The White Tiger Prince suddenly lost his smile.
"Okay, okay, don't mock each other. It's important for us to talk about serious matters." Liu Che said helplessly. "You suspect that it was him who refined corpses and slaughtered the city. What's the basis for you?" Prince Qinglong asked.
"You don't know that in order to investigate Xiong Tian's death, my son had a strange form and mixed into the Assassin League branch. After learning that the person who slaughtered me Xuanwu City was the rudder of his branch, Haotian immediately returned to the Assassin League branch. Just because the rudder's magical skills were broken by my senior brother's holy silver arrow crossbow, he grabbed eighty-one pregnant women with Yin bodies on the night of the full moon, and used them, the blood and soul of the fetus in their belly to summon the shadow of the God of Death to restore his skills. The price of summoning the God of Death again was to require millions of living souls as sacrifices, otherwise he would be backfired!"
"What? Million Life Souls? That's the number of people in ten medium-sized cities!" Liu Che clenched his fists and almost roared excitedly. Prince Xuanwu continued, "And according to Wuer's investigation, the assassin alliance's assassin's attack on the important officials of our great Han over the past six months were all orders issued by their senior officials. In other words, the important officials of our great Han were not someone who bought murderers, but there might be some plans within the assassin alliance!"
Such a shocking news came out of the Prince Xuanwu, and all of them looked solemn. After a long time, Liu Che slowly raised his head, "In this way, the branch leader of the Assassin Alliance is very likely to take this opportunity to open the border defense line of our Han Dynasty!" "Brother and I thought about it together. It was because of this that we hurried to enter Beijing, hoping to discuss a countermeasure. If he took the lead, our situation would become very passive!"
Liu Che's brow frowned into the word "chuan", and he asked uneasy, "What is the cultivation level of this branch leader?" The Prince of Xuanwu sighed, "When he slaughtered my Xuanwu City that day, he was already in the great perfection of the Golden Pill, and it may be even more difficult to deal with now!"
Everyone's faces changed drastically, "My God! The Great Perfect Golden Pill! How can we deal with such a demon?" Prince Qinglong asked uneasy. Liu Che looked at Prince Xuanwu, "If such a demon cultivator harms the world, can he ask Ziyang Zhenren for help?"
The Prince Xuanwu looked embarrassed, "This..." "Don't bother Ziyang, let me deal with it!" A thick voice came from outside the hall. "This is the thousand-mile voice transmission from the ancestor!" Liu Che's face no longer had any uneasiness, and he was replaced by excitement.
A white-haired old man wearing a golden dragon robe appeared out of thin air in the imperial study. The visitor was Liu Chan, the grandfather of Emperor Liu Che of Han. He is probably nearly four hundred years old now. Liu Chan's life was full of legends. He achieved his innateness before he was twenty years old, and survived the 49th heavenly tribulation in less than sixty years old. He was a general in his life, a bandit in his life, and he also became the master of Wudang to learn Taoism. He fought all the innate invincible hands at the innate realm. After breaking through the golden elixir, he soon became the first person under the realm of the soul. Unexpectedly, to this day, this living fossil-like legendary figure still lives in this world.
"Let's pay my respects to my ancestors!" All five bent down and clasped their fists, extremely respectful. The ancestor raised his robe and sat in the right position. He swept over the few people coldly, his eyes paused on the King of Xuanwu for a few seconds, and said, "You kid have also broken through the golden elixir. We have not seen each other for nearly thirty years, time passes so fast!" The King of Xuanwu knelt in front of his ancestors, "Sun Wen also wants to thank the ancestor for his guidance back then!"
The ancestor just smiled faintly, "At that time, I just didn't want to plant willows. I didn't expect you to be extremely smart. With a little guidance, you can break through." "You were arrogant back then, but later I realized that you met an expert. But when I understood, the senior no longer knew where you were! It was not until many years later that I realized that you were the eldest brother's grandfather."
Daxiong waved his sleeves, "Okay, let's talk about the serious business. I heard everything you said just now. The Assassin Alliance dared to attack me of the Han Dynasty. I want to meet the mysterious Assassin Alliance branch leader!" After the ancestor said that, he was about to get up. The Prince of Xuanwu hurriedly said, "Ancestor, please wait!"
The ancestor slowly stood up and frowned, "What? What else do you want to say?" Prince Xuanwu was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I wonder what level of cultivation my ancestor has reached now?"
"Hmph!" Daxiu waved his sleeve and said angrily, "Are you afraid that I can't beat a junior?" Prince Xuanwu hurriedly explained, "Young Master is not that. It's just that the cultivation level of this Assassin Alliance branch master is probably a master who is close to the realm of the Yuanshen realm, and he has a magic weapon in his hand. You should not take it lightly by your ancestor!"
"Hahahaha, I am four hundred years old and have almost never taken action for a hundred years. I broke through to the soul shortly after the last battle a hundred years ago. Now I am in the late stage of the soul. Do you think the gap in the realm can be made up by a magic weapon?"
