Chapter 320 The Stabilizing Force of the Great Abyss! Old Li's Distress!
Cut them down?
The timid Xiao Ju was taken aback.
He looked up, his eyes filled with hesitation and fear, and said:
"Can... I do it?"
"You are of royal lineage, what's wrong with that?" Xiao Wu said coldly!
"Your Highness, spare me! Imperial grandson, spare me!"
Upon seeing this, the eunuchs were immediately terrified and begged for mercy!
Xiao Ju really took the knife!
A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he couldn't help but recall the little eunuch he had encountered last time!
The other party also told him that if he didn't want to be bullied, the only way was to clench his fists and fight back!
However, Xiao Ju was still too cowardly and ultimately ignored the little eunuch's words, despite the fact that the other party was extraordinary!
But now, after hearing his uncle's words, a surge of anger rose within him!
"I...I am the imperial grandson!" Xiao Ju said, his grip on the hilt of his sword tightening.
"Your actions are utterly reprehensible...you deserve to die...even being torn to pieces wouldn't be enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ju dragged his long sword and slashed at the few eunuchs!
But ultimately, because the blade was too heavy, or perhaps because his sword-wielding technique was incorrect, his first strike only landed on the arm of the head eunuch!
"Ah...please spare me...Grandson...it hurts so much!"
Upon seeing this, the other eunuchs trembled violently, as if they were being shaken apart!
If it weren't for the King of Pingwu keeping an eye on them, they would have gotten up and run away long ago!
"Gather your energy in your dantian and grip the hilt of your sword tightly!" Xiao Wu, seeing this, said:
"When I was your age, I was already old enough to kill an ox with a knife!"
Xiao Ju swallowed hard and remained silent.
It was the first time he had ever used a knife to attack someone, and he felt his whole body trembling!
The hand holding the knife, in particular, was shaking the most!
But the excitement that arose in his heart was something Xiao Ju thoroughly enjoyed!
After listening to his uncle's instructions, he then swung his sword at several eunuchs!
With one stroke, a eunuch died instantly!
With two swift strokes, half of a eunuch's head was chopped off!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, splattering all over Xiao Ju!
But the more he chopped, the more excited he became, his face full of a sinister grin!
Having endured years of mistreatment in the palace, he seemed to finally unleash it all!
After Xiao Ju chopped the eunuchs into mincemeat, he was so exhausted that he sat down on the ground!
Panting heavily, he subconsciously glanced back, only to find that his uncle had already left...
……
After a while.
Beside Tai'an Pond.
Emperor Jianwen, dressed as an old fisherman, is intently fishing.
Meanwhile, sitting next to him was Prince Pingwu, Xiao Wu, with his legs crossed and a piece of melon in his hand!
The two brothers didn't say a word, they just did their own thing, wanting some peace and quiet!
Not long after, Emperor Jianwen's fishing rod moved!
With a gentle flick, he quickly pulled a fish up!
If you look closely, you'll see that the fishing line has no hook or bait, yet the fish still took the bait!
"My brother is getting more and more amazing..." Xiao Wu couldn't help but clap his hands when he saw this!
"You shouldn't concern yourself with that child's affairs..." Emperor Jianwen shook his head slightly and gently released the fish back into the pond!
"It's simple, just like how my elder brother used to manage me!" Xiao Wu said casually.
"If I can't stand it, I'll naturally intervene!"
Emperor Jianwen was taken aback and couldn't help but turn around to look at Xiao Wu.
He then continued fishing, saying:
"Your Majesty, you are a man of both civil and military prowess, an emperor on horseback. This time you have destroyed the Great Han, and in the future... the throne will be yours!"
"I don't want to!" Xiao Wu refused.
"Uncle simply can't cultivate immortality, but you, brother, are different. Everyone outside knows that our Great Yuan has two emperors: one is a mortal emperor, and the other is you, the immortal emperor!"
Emperor Jianwen shook his head slightly.
He had long anticipated that Xiao Wu would say this, and said in a deep voice:
"You're still so childish... The royal family needs someone to be a pillar of strength... and that person isn't me, do you understand!"
"You mean..." Xiao Wu quickly realized what was happening and asked:
"Your Majesty, why make me do something you yourself can't do? The old eunuch and I are just friends, don't try to scheme against me like that."
"You're too naive..." Emperor Jianwen shook his head and said:
"If you weren't a member of the royal family... this wouldn't be your turn, but you are, and this is the fate of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Wu fell silent!
Knowing what his elder brother meant, he felt a surge of pressure!
Emperor Jianwen, seeing this, said nothing more.
He continued fishing and reminded others:
"You are skilled in both literature and martial arts... a rare emperor for the Great Abyss... With your master's help, the Great Abyss has the opportunity to unify the eight kingdoms, and even the eight major sects!"
"You... really believe him?" Xiao Wu's face showed a look of shock!
"There are some things you don't know..." Emperor Jianwen said with a slight smile:
"I dare not say more, you'll understand later. Let's go!"
Xiao Wu's expression changed, and he had no choice but to turn around and leave!
After everyone left, Tai'an Pond returned to its tranquil state!
Looking at the rippling lake surface, Emperor Jianwen was filled with many thoughts.
If Da Yuan could bind his master, this pillar of stability, his future would surely be prosperous!
Even when all hope is lost, that place can still preserve a trace of the royal family's lineage!
Emperor Jianwen, who had visited that place twice, was all too aware of its mysteries...
……
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the market area of Luoyang.
Old Li, looking downcast, gazed at the street, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Still not seeing anyone, he could only sigh and go back inside!
It was faintly visible that Cuihua was no longer inside the house.
Now that he was alone again, he seemed somewhat lonely!
"Li Fugui...get in here!"
Just as Old Li was feeling dejected, the voice of the Eighteenth Elder came from the inner hall!
This startled him, and he quickly ran inside!
On the bronze mirror, the phantom images of the eighteen elders slowly appeared!
"Elder... that old eunuch still hasn't come..."
Upon seeing this, Old Li quickly knelt down and bowed!
"Hmph! It's been almost a year... Is that person dead?! Did you drive him away?!" the Eighteenth Elder roared in fury.
"Do you know how much I suffer without him?!"
Old Li knew that.
But if the old eunuch doesn't come, there's nothing he can do!
Lost in thought, he guessed:
"Elder...the world outside is in chaos right now. Do you think that old eunuch...could he have gotten caught up in it?"
"That makes sense... I had the same suspicion!" said the Eighteenth Elder.
"Changchun Sect, Weapon Sect... Qingyun Sect, Dayuan... what are these bastards doing, they're really ruining my mood..."
"Elder...how about we look into finding a meal replacement?" Old Li suggested again.
"I've been looking for something similar lately... do you want it...?"
"Get out! Those are all junk!" the Eighteenth Elder retorted immediately.
"Find him alive or dead, keep searching!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
The phantom images of the eighteen elders have vanished!
Yes!
Seeing this, Old Li quickly nodded in agreement.
After the person left, he couldn't help but sigh.
I thought to myself, this old eunuch clearly said he would come in the spring, but it's been almost a year since I've been waiting!
Old Li was in so much pain, he felt like he was going crazy!
