Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Qin Yun walked up to the old Mr. Zhou's body, his eyes were full of horror until he died, obviously he couldn't believe that his strength enough to be ranked in the top five of the heavenly list could not survive a single move in the hands of 'Meng Yiqiu'!

"Tai Shuchen, such a master of the heaven list has changed his name and surname, and even became the master of the eighth prince. It seems that Wei Guo is indeed ambitious, and that's right. After all, the number one in the god list is in Wei State, and it is also in this world. How can the number one powerhouse not be so ambitious?" Qin Yun looked at the corpse in front of him, and under the realm of Tao, he could clearly sense all the precious treasures on Tai Shuchen's body.

Immediately, the thought moved.

"call."

Tai Shuchen's corpse was directly turned into powder and scattered into the heaven and earth. There are only a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings and some weapons, and there are also money bags with silver notes and other things left behind. As far as Qin Yun is concerned, once the 50-year period expires, he can't take any treasures with him, but he also has to consider for his younger sister Meng Yuxiang, for the one-year-old boy Meng Huan, and for the Zhoushan Sword Sect.

"Let's go." Carrying the booty, Qin Yun swished across the sky, flashed in the night sky, and returned to his residence.

On the originally lonely street, there were only a few traces of blood left.

The battle was silent, and no outsiders knew that Mr. Zhou (Tai Shuchen) was dead!

...

This night, the imperial capital is doomed to have no sleep.

Candles were lit.

Qin Yun was reading leisurely in the study. The realm of Dao covered twenty miles away, and it has always enveloped the Duan family.

"Although I don't bother to pay attention to His Highness the Crown Prince, I have done the Crown Prince a great favor by killing the Grand Uncle." Qin Yun smiled, and was too lazy to think about it, and read a book leisurely. To him, it made no difference whoever succeeded him.

*****

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky is bright.

An Guogong Mansion, in the first hall.

Duan Qiyu sat there, feeling restless in his heart, and the old lady beside him was also a little disturbed. Because a lot of information that came before is very unfavorable.

"Whoosh."

The door of the hall was always open, and a figure flew in from the outside, saluting respectfully as soon as he entered.

"How is it?" Duan Qiyulian stood up and asked anxiously.

The gray-robed man said respectfully, "My lord, I report to the old majesty, I just got the news from the palace that the king left a will before his death, and in the will let the eighth prince Li Cheng succeed him."

Duan Qiyu's face turned pale, and he just sat down on his buttocks, sitting dumbly, his eyes were dull and desperate.

"It's over, it's over." Duan Qiyu trembled slightly.

"Eighth Prince?" The old matriarch's face was ugly, but he still waved his hand, and the gray-robed man bowed respectfully and stepped back.

"This Li Cheng became enmity with me because of Yuan'er." Duan Qiyu's voice trembled, "I was young and energetic back then, and I didn't even look up to a prince who had no hope of succeeding to the throne. Who would have thought that he would be even more powerful? , More and more people support him. Of course I have to stand on the prince's side. The prince is the heir apparent, and he has a great advantage, and he has a great chance of succeeding to the throne in the future. Whoever thinks, whoever thinks..."

"Don't panic." The old lady frowned and shouted.

"Grandmother." Duan Qiyu looked at the old matriarch beside him, and knelt down directly, "It's me, it's me, it's all my fault. Let the family fall into such a situation. This time I will spare no effort to help His Royal Highness, then Li Cheng must be even worse Remember to hate me. Now that he inherits the throne...he will definitely not spare my Duan family."

The old lady also understood that the Duan family was indeed in crisis.

Since ancient times, the battle for great positions has always been the most ruthless!

Even if there is no previous hatred, if the Duan family fully supports His Highness the Crown Prince, the eighth prince 'Li Cheng' will not spare the Duan family if he succeeds to the throne!

"I'm going to see Meng Yiqiu now." The old lady stood up.

"Meng Yiqiu."

Duan Qiyu's face was pale, and he nodded, "Now only Meng Yiqiu can save my Duan family, but Li Cheng and I have too much hatred, the King of Chu really wants to deal with my Duan family, for Meng Yiqiu's sake, I'm afraid he will too." Cut off my Duan family's title. I, the instigator, may not escape death."

"Don't panic, I'll go see Meng Yiqiu first." The old lady said.

...

While Qin Yun was having breakfast, Gong Yan'er also held the child and fed him rice porridge.

"Master, the old lady of the Duan family is asking to see you." Liu Qingsha said respectfully.

"Please come in, Mrs. Madam." Qin Yun nodded and ordered, and then couldn't help sighing, "That His Highness the Crown Prince is really useless, I have helped so much, but I still lost in the end."

Chu State decides the throne, but the prince does not necessarily inherit it.

The prince has many advantages.

But in the end who will inherit the throne is determined by the last king's will! This so-called 'legacy' was naturally written by the victor.

This gave the other princes a chance, so each generation of "kings" was almost determined after going through brutal battles, which also made every king of the Chu country quite powerful. The god of war 'Li Ruji' sits in the imperial capital and watches generations of princes in the imperial capital fight for it. If he is here, the imperial capital will not be chaotic.

Li Ruji was very satisfied with this cruel competition, and finally decided the king.

"Old Madam." Qin Yun saw the old lady of the Duan family coming, and Meng Yuxiang was following beside him, and immediately smiled, "Old Madam, please sit down."

The old lady smiled and sat down.

Meng Yuxiang made it to the side beside Gong Yan'er.

"Little sister, Yan'er, you go out first." Qin Yun ordered.

"Okay." Meng Yuxiang and Gong Yan'er both nodded.

Soon only Qin Yun and the old matriarch were left in the hall, and Liu Qingsha was guarding at the door.

"Perhaps Mr. Meng already knows that our new king of Chu is the former eighth prince." The old matriarch said, "When he ascends the throne today, he will announce it to the world."

A country cannot live without a king for a day.

When the old king dies, the new king will succeed to the throne the next day, and he will make a funeral for the old king and announce it to the world.

"I heard." Qin Yun nodded.

"Now this great king, Li Cheng, has old grievances with my Duan family. This time, my Duan family has tried its best to help the former crown prince. This Li Cheng must have hated my Duan family." The old lady said worriedly, "I can only come to Meng Meng Young master! Please also ask Mr. Meng to remember the friendship between my Duan family and you, and remember the previous promise that you can protect my Duan family."

"Back when I looked through your Duan family's Baiyulou classics, I promised to protect your Duan family." Qin Yun said with a smile, "Don't worry, old lady."

The old matriarch nodded: "Young Master Meng, if the King of Chu wants to deal with my Duan family, it will be very difficult for Mr. Meng to stop him. If it is not possible, you can also cut off the title of my Duan family! If cutting off the title is not enough, you can pay for it My Duan family also recognized Qiyu's life."

Although the high status of the Tianbang Gaoren is extremely high, the King of Chu has to win him over.

But the King of Chu is the king of a country after all, and standing behind him is the god of war 'Li Ruji'. If he really wants to destroy any family... the Tianbang Gaoren can't completely stop him.

"Old Madam, just go back with peace of mind." Qin Yun said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect your Duan family."

"I thank Mr. Meng." The old matriarch immediately bowed to salute, Qin Yun stood up and stopped him immediately: "Old matriarch, there is no need to do this."

"Please, Mr. Meng."

The old lady just left.

But when she left, she was still uneasy: "Meng Yiqiu will do his best to help my Duan family, but when the new king succeeds to the throne, he is at his most vigorous, can he keep it? It can save my Duan family from this disaster."

After all, the Duan family is a big family, and the old lady has to consider the lives of thousands of people in the whole family, so she would rather make some sacrifices for this.

...

In the imperial capital city, in the first floor pavilion of the brothel 'Wanhualou', there are three men gathered here.

"Mr. Zhou has made the Eighth Prince miserable this time. Almost, almost the Eighth Prince will be finished."

"I never expected that the Eighth Prince would be able to come back from a desperate situation!"

"The eighth prince is really powerful."

All three of them were full of joy.

"By the way, Black Eagle, is Mr. Zhou in the East Lake outside the city?"

"Not here! I just sent someone to look for it."

"Not in the East Lake? This is troublesome. I sent someone to look for Mr. Zhou last night, but they couldn't find it in the imperial capital. Now he is not in the East Lake outside the city. Where did he go?"

"Elder Zhou often disappears, and sometimes disappears in retreat, but usually there will be a message. And last night was so important, Elder Zhou shouldn't just disappear so quietly."

All three of them panicked.

Mr. Zhou is the secretly supreme leader of Wei State in this imperial capital! Mr. Zhou's identity is so secret that even the three of them don't know. Mr. Zhou's real name is 'Tai Shuchen'.

"Old Zhou's real strength is rumored to be in the top five in the heaven list, even if he meets Li Ruji, the God of War of Chu, he has the hope of escaping. He shouldn't just disappear like this."

"Look again. If you can't find Mr. Zhou all day today, you have to report the news to Wei Du immediately."

All three of them make a decision.

The people of Wei State are also frantically looking for Mr. Zhou today.

In the imperial capital city, even outside the imperial capital city, people are looking for it everywhere.

It's doomed...

They will never find that Mr. Zhou!

...

On that day, that is, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the thirty-sixth year of Chu Baohong, the new king of Chu 'Li Cheng' inherited the Datong, became the seventh king of Chu, and mourned for the old king.

Throughout the imperial capital, white silks were flying everywhere, brothels, restaurants and other places were closed, and marriage and entertainment were prohibited during the national funeral.
