Although these veterans are old, they have been comrades-in-arms for forty years and have entrusted their lives to each other, and they have a very good understanding of each other.
They quickly saw through the clumsy play put on by Hai Siyuan and Li Changshi, leaving the latter with only a wry smile.
"Then I won't act anymore..." Hai Siyuan looked at the two hundred veterans in front of him and said with a bow:
"Can I ask you to give me your life tonight?"
"Come on, everyone, follow me... and do something outrageous that will cost you your head."
Hai Siyuan glanced into the distance and his eyes fell on Emperor Yonghe who was standing in front of the Golden Palace, watching the battle.
"Why not?" The white-haired soldiers laughed.
"What... are you planning to do?" Hai Wuya frowned deeply.
He was not a soldier and did not quite understand the thinking of these old soldiers, but he was able to keenly sense that something was wrong.
"Father, you have your ideas, and we have our choices." Hai Siyuan smiled and said:
"Qiao Shuangzhao is in danger and surrounded by enemies. Even with our strength, we can't save him. If we act rashly, we will surely die."
"And this ray of hope falls on your majesty."
Holding the emperor hostage.
This is the glimmer of hope in Hai Siyuan's judgment.
This was not simply to save Qiao Shuangzhao, but also because they felt a sense of injustice in their hearts.
This glimmer of hope is actually very slim. It would be too naive to think that you can walk out of the palace safely after holding an emperor hostage.
So when he made this decision, he was actually already prepared to die.
While Hai Siyuan was talking to the old soldiers, Hai Wuya's eyes were always on his son's face.
Hai Siyuan was still a 20-year-old young man when he joined the army. Forty years passed in a flash, and when they met again, even his own children had become elderly people over 60 years old.
Although he looks old, Hai Wuya still regards his son as the 20-year-old young man who joined the army in the past.
Now, he suddenly realized.
"I have my own ideas, and he has his own choices... My son has already become an independent 'General Sea'." Hai Wuya was relieved.
Although he did not want to see his eldest son die in this palace, he knew very well that everyone has their own choices, and he could not change Hai Siyuan's decision.
... .
There was a loud noise locally.
The swords of the Human King and the Qin King collided with each other, and the air made a clear sound of friction, sparks flew, and the dark yellow and blood-red auras collided violently.
Qiao Shuangzhao's feet plowed a long mark backwards, and his hands holding the golden body of King Qin were shaking.
The Thousand Changes of Flesh and Blood can be used to treat internal injuries in an emergency, but it does not revive the patient to full health on the spot. Qiao Mu's condition is very poor at this moment, and he is at the end of his strength.
He even found it difficult to hold the golden statue of King Qin in his hand, as he felt it was too heavy.
When Yan Shen Ji regained his youthful form, he was even more powerful than before.
Ever since Qiao Mu turned 100, he has been relying on his age and profound skills to deal with his enemies. This is the first warrior Qiao Mu has encountered who can compete with him or even surpass him in terms of internal strength.
"The old ancestor is truly the pillar of support for the Great Yan imperial family." Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but admire as he watched the battle.
Now looking back, he realized that Yan Shenji had already revealed clues. His conversation and demeanor were simply not comparable to that of an old warrior from the royal family who had never been an emperor.
The most obvious one is the sentence that our ancestors have said many times:
The emperor should have strong soldiers and horses.
Translated, it means that the person with the big fist and strong strength should naturally be the emperor.
There are only two kinds of people who dare to say this.
The first type of people are rebels, who have a rebellious heart and have no respect for the imperial power.
The second is the emperor... No, not even the emperor.
Emperor Yonghe thought to himself that he could not say such a thing. Because he inherited the throne from his father, as an emperor, he emphasized that the emperor was appointed by heaven, and emphasized the legitimacy and sacredness of the imperial power, rather than that anyone with a big fist could become an emperor.
The second type of person who dares to say this is the successful rebel, that is, the founding emperor.
The founding emperor who overthrew the old dynasty and conquered the country with his fists is naturally qualified to say this.
As the "ancestor of the royal family", it was inappropriate for Yan Shenji to say this repeatedly in front of Emperor Yonghe.
Because even if one is a royal relative, saying this in front of the emperor would be courting death - there have been royal relatives who have plotted rebellion in every dynasty. Daring to say this is solid evidence that they do not take the emperor seriously and have a rebellious heart.
But if the founding emperor's mind is used to educate future emperors, then it will be natural and logical - this is to remind the younger generation that your dynasty's regime comes from soldiers and fists, and if you don't have enough strength, go and practice more.
But Emperor Yonghe didn't think about it carefully at that time. He just thought that his ancestors were of high generation and had high aspirations.
"It's really dark under the lamp. Why didn't I find it earlier?" Emperor Yonghe shook his head and sighed.
If he had known that Yan Shenji was the founding emperor of Great Yan and was so powerful, why would he have been so cautious in doing things
An old and powerful warrior from the royal family named "Yan Shen Ji" is the pillar of the royal family.
But if it is the Great Yan Taizu, the role he can play is far more than just the Dinghai Shenzhen. It is clearly a golden cudgel that can stir up the world.
"If my ancestors had told me this earlier, the Great Yan Dynasty might not have fallen to this point..."
Just when Emperor Yonghe was full of confidence and was thinking about how to play the good card of "Emperor Taizu of Great Yan" well.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
A first-grade Feiyu Guard of the Spirit Refining Stage rushed in front of him and chopped an object that was flying through the air away with one sword.
"There is another assassin? Does he have accomplices?" Emperor Yonghe was shocked.
He looked closely and saw that the thing that was chopped off by Feiyuwei's sword fell right in front of the temple. It turned out to be a small stone sculpture carved into the shape of an ancient city.
"What is this? How can a hidden weapon look like this?" The first-rank Feiyu Guard frowned.
But the next moment something strange happened. The stone city slowly rotated, and one white-haired soldier after another walked out of it. There were more than two hundred of them.
The two leaders were Hai Siyuan and Li Changshi, while Hai Wuya also stood among the crowd of old soldiers.
Hai Wuya's martial arts level is not high, and he is unable to participate in the battle. It would not be appropriate to just leave him aside and watch the battle, so they appeared together.
"There's an assassin!"
"That man... is Hai Wuya! How did he get out?" The Feiyu Guards around shouted.
"Hai Wuya? What are you going to do?" Emperor Yonghe was shocked and angry, and shouted:
"Are you really planning a rebellion? You are indeed a traitor!"
As he shouted, he also looked around and his heart suddenly felt a little cold.
The 10,000 imperial guards suffered heavy losses, and distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.
During the fight between Qiao Shuangzhao and Yan Shenji, ordinary people couldn't get close, so they stayed far away.
At this moment, Emperor Yonghe was guarded by only about a hundred Feiyu Guards.
There are many masters of spiritual cultivation among the Feiyu Guards, and they are the personal bodyguards who protect the emperor's safety.
But in front of them were the battle-hardened white-haired soldiers of Lone City.
Before Hai Wuya could speak, Hai Siyuan stepped forward, stood in front of his father, and looked up at Emperor Yonghe in front of the Golden Throne Hall.
When they walked out of the desert.
Hai Siyuan also once ascended the Golden Palace with Qiao Shui of the Qiao family, and faced Emperor Yonghe and all the civil and military officials in front of this hall.
Times have changed. As time goes by, Hai Wuya has become a prisoner, and he, the old soldier who has defended the isolated city for forty years, has become a traitor.
"Today... I can be a traitor for once, so what's the harm?"
Hai Siyuan drew out his sword and took a step forward:
"His Majesty."
"We have been soldiers of the Great Yan for our entire lives. We have defended the isolated city for forty years without retreating or giving up an inch of land. We have lived up to the Great Yan and the emperor's grace."
"And what about you, Your Majesty?"
Hai Siyuan raised his sword and rushed forward with more than 200 of his comrades, engaging in a battle with the Feiyu Guards surrounding Emperor Yonghe.
They don't have much time.
Qiao Shuangzhao is at the end of his strength, and there are still thousands of imperial guards far behind him. If time goes on a little longer, they will surely die!
At this moment, every second counts!
... ..
And at the same time.
"Has Hai Wuya been rescued?" Qiao Mu glanced at Hai Wuya, Emperor Yonghe and others in front of the Golden Throne Hall.
"As long as he doesn't die in punishment and bear the infamy, then I have achieved my goal."
Although he was not quite sure why Hai Wuya and Hai Siyuan appeared here, he did not have the energy to think about it.
"Qiao Shuangzhao, do you really have accomplices..."
Yan Shenji chopped at the Qin King's golden body with his sword. The surging force like a mountain swept the Qin King's golden body away from Qiao Mu's hand, and knocked Qiao Mu back several steps with his sword.
Then, he raised the Human King Sword and looked in the direction of Emperor Yonghe.
Emperor Yonghe was attacked by an assassin and the situation was precarious.
The Royal Guards were unable to break the siege, and the Flying Fish Guards were too few in number.
If he did not take action, it is possible that Emperor Yonghe would fall into the hands of Hai Siyuan and others.
However, as the pillar of the royal family and the founding emperor of Dayan, he would naturally not sit idly by and watch his descendants being assassinated.
Chapter 274 The End of Yonghe (9k monthly ticket required)
"What are you going to do?"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors shall be killed by everyone!"
"Catch the assassin!"
Amidst the shouts and curses, Hai Siyuan led his men forward and slashed at a Feiyu Guard standing in front of Emperor Yonghe.
Weapons clashed, sword and knife lights flashed in the air, violent and sharp sounds rang in the ears, and strong winds cut a groove on the tall pillars of the Golden Throne Hall.
Hai Siyuan's knife attack did not work and was blocked.
Because his opponent is a first-grade spiritual warrior.
The Imperial Guards are the elite among the soldiers of Dayan.
The Feiyu Guards are the eyes and ears and personal guards of the Great Yan Emperor.
Emperor Yonghe attached great importance to his own safety, so the Feiyu Guards who protected him closely were naturally very powerful.
Although there were no super-grade warriors, there were already a hundred Feiyu Guards by the side of Emperor Yonghe at this moment, including many top third-grade spirit-refining warriors, and reinforcements were constantly gathering from all directions.
However, the old soldiers like Hai Siyuan who came out of the lonely city in the desert are no longer ordinary warriors.
The Alien War forty years ago was the largest war in Dayan, the most brutal battlefield, and a bloody mill with nearly a hundred thousand deaths.
Hai Siyuan and others persisted for forty years.
When in the isolated city, the vast desert is a barren land with a lack of water and food.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without adequate dietary supplements, how can one gain strength and cultivate internal power
Therefore, during these forty years, the old soldiers' martial arts skills have only improved limitedly. What has increased during these forty years is mainly their spiritual will and skills in fighting on the battlefield.
This is also the result of deliberate cultivation by the monks of the Da Dao Sect... After all, the so-called "Hundred Miles of Desert" is actually a secret place of the sect.
And when they walk out of the desert, that is the time for them to make a breakthrough.
In front is the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" with boundless sea, and behind is the "Humanity Sutra" with tall trees.
This gives these veterans over 60 the possibility to continue to make breakthroughs in their martial arts as their energy and blood decline in their later years.
In addition, the money that the Great Yan court gave to these old soldiers when they retired and returned to their hometowns, plus the wealth of the Minister of Rites Hai Wuya himself, was also an important basis for supporting them to make further progress.
To this day.
