Chapter 367 I'll be waiting for you in hell!
The man who came out was wearing a yellow dragon robe with a golden dragon embroidered on it, with its fangs bared and claws brandishing, as if it would break free from its restraints and soar into the sky in the next moment.
He wore a crown, and the gems inlaid on the crown were red like fire, blue like the deep sea, and purple like the sunset. Each gem was priceless. Each gem reflected colorful light, symbolizing supreme power.
His face was as firm as if carved by a knife, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss. Just a slight glance and that gaze was as real as substance and could shock people's hearts.
He is like a towering mountain, standing between heaven and earth!
"This, this...Xi, Xibohou?"
Eunuch Jing was completely confused, he could never have imagined that it was actually the Duke of Xibo!
What's going on?
Isn’t it Prince Jing’an?
The emperor frowned slightly, but immediately understood, stood up and said, "Royal brother, I never thought you would fall to this point. You are using the name of Prince Jing'an to rebel against your brother. Are you worthy of our ancestors?"
"Xiang Jian, things have come to this point, don't talk nonsense to me!"
Xibohou said with a sneer, "I just held King Jing'an hostage and locked him in the woodshed. I have been wanting to talk to you for a long time!"
"Originally, I am only older than you. Even if I am three days older, I am still older!"
"My literary talent and martial arts are far superior to yours, but just because my mother was a palace maid, not a concubine, my father got old and confused and actually made you his brother!"
"When he was in power, I tried to rebel, but what was the result?"
"I was demoted to another place, so I set up the Red Flower Society. But you were unreasonable and directly sent people to destroy my Red Flower!"
"Xiang Jian, let me ask you, is there anyone who treats his own brother like you do?"
The emperor sighed heavily and shook his head gently: "Royal brother, do you know why father did not pass the throne to you?"
"He told me that you are too utilitarian and your methods are too cruel. If you take over the throne, you will certainly be able to expand the territory, but it will definitely cost the people money and labor. Father can't bear to see this."
"He demoted you because he wanted you to be with the people and understand their sentiments better so that he could plan for the future."
"But what about you? How did you do it?"
"You support the Red Flower Society and threaten my kingdom and the world of Great Chu. How can I not take action to destroy you?"
The emperor finished telling the whole story and said: "If you surrender, I can still let you live."
"Xiang Jian, are you talking in your sleep again?"
Xibo Hou put his hands behind his back, showing no sign of retreating: "Li Wuling's attitude proves that you may have a backup plan, but I am not afraid!"
"I am the destiny, the true dragon emperor, and I will not die in your hands!"
"If you have any backup plan, use it!"
Xibo Hou jumped down from the car, holding a spear in his hand: "Brothers, I keep my word, and I will reward you with 10,000 taels of gold. Follow me and kill!"
Following the order from King Xibo, a chilling whistling sound was heard in the air for a moment.
The sky was instantly covered by dense arrows, like a large dark cloud rapidly pressing down.
These arrows flashed with a cold light, and the arrowheads had the cold and hard luster unique to metal. Each one was like a messenger sent by the god of death, rushing straight towards the emperor with endless murderous intent!
The six blood-clothed dragon guards were not there to do nothing, so they protected the emperor and retreated to the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xibohou waved his hand downwards: "Kill Xiang Jian!"
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Shield Battalion were like war gods made of steel, marching up the steps with neat and heavy steps!
The shields in their hands were broad and heavy, and with every step they took, the weapons in their hands struck the shields rhythmically.
Sonorous!
Sonorous!
Sonorous!
The sound was dull at first, like thunder in the distance. As more and more soldiers joined in, the knocking sounds gradually gathered into an overwhelming wave!
It is like a surging tide, hitting people's eardrums wave after wave.
Each blow carried a tremendous force, causing the shield to vibrate slightly and emit a buzzing resonance.
Eunuch Jing looked back at the emperor anxiously, and the emperor nodded helplessly.
Eunuch Jing put his fingers in his mouth and whistled!
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry come to rescue you!"
Accompanied by shouts, many warriors appeared on the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly appeared like ghosts. At first, they were just a small team of ten people. They were wearing black armor that shone with a cold and hard luster in the sun, like the black robe of the god of death.
The sound of the war horses' hooves was neat and heavy, and the sound of them hitting the ground seemed like the prelude to war drums.
Then, hundreds of people!
Thousands!
Thousands of people!
It is densely packed and covers the entire field of vision!
Every movement and every look was full of majesty. Their formation was so powerful that it was breathtaking, as if it was a mobile war fortress.
"kill!!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry didn't waste any words. The dark crowd was like an impending storm, casting a huge shadow on the earth!
In an instant, he was entangled with King Xibo!
How can the Sharp Arrow Battalion, which is not good at defense in the rear, withstand the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like surging waves, carrying the power to destroy everything. After killing all the archers, they cooperated with the six Blood-Clothed Dragon Guards to strangle the Shield Battalion!
Seeing his men falling one by one, King Xibo was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, his face showed an expression that everything was expected, and he was just waiting for death to come with a smile.
A cup of tea later, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was littered with corpses.
The emperor seemed to have some sympathy for his brother: "Lord Xibo, kneel down and beg for mercy, and I can spare your life."
Xibo Hou just sneered and put his hands behind his back: "My life is destined by heaven. If I fail to seize power, the only thing I can do is die. How can I surrender to you?"
"Xiang Jian, there is only one thing I don't understand before I die."
He was determined to die. The emperor gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This is the plan you made with Chen Changan. Did you deliberately get angry in the court and slander him for rebellion?"
The emperor was silent, without any expression.
Xibo Hou laughed loudly, "I had expected this long ago. How could I not see through such a clumsy trick?"
"But even though I understand everything, I still want to bet on that one in ten thousand possibility!"
Xibo Hou pulled out the dagger, put it to his throat, and looked at the emperor with cold eyes: "Xiang Jian, I lose!"
"I lost to you decades ago, and now, I lost to Chen Changan!"
"I have to admit that I am old. Every generation has its own talented people, and each has been the leader for hundreds of years... I only have one request, that your Great Chu expand its territory and prosper for thousands of years!"
"I'm in hell, waiting for you!"
puff! ! !
King Xibo exerted force with his arms and cut his own throat!
The emperor's face turned pale with distress. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers protected Marquis Xibo under their shields without letting the emperor see.
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The emperor remained silent for a long time.
This is the imperial family, filled with blood and killing. Even if the emperor is willing to let Xibo Hou go, the ministers will definitely kill Xibo Hou as soon as they know about this.
Eunuch Jing took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace. We'll discuss the matter of Marquis Xibo in the morning court tomorrow."
"Whatever you say, it's my imperial decree."
After all, the emperor reserved the last bit of dignity for Xibo Hou: "Xibo Hou fell ill and died suddenly in the palace. No one is allowed to discuss or participate in this matter!"
"Appoint Xibo Hou as the Loyal and Brave King and bury him in the imperial mausoleum!"
"Appreciate this!"
Eunuch Jing nodded in agreement and sighed softly as he looked at the corpse of Marquis Xibo.
Since he was not crowned as a king during his lifetime, Xibohou's life can be said to be quite miserable. However, this was not the emperor's fault, but the previous emperor's.
No matter what, when a person dies, his debts are cancelled.
