Chapter 442 The Three Royal Ancestors
"Brother, why are you stubborn? You have already lost."
In response to Li Yao's roar, Li Yuan said calmly, his eyes sweeping over Jiang Jian, Wu Guanxiong, Wang Bi, Li Jiang and others who were seriously injured.
The Dazun-level military commander was seriously injured, and the strength of his legion was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the strength of their legion increased greatly.
More than twenty venerables, Ruan Jinbiao and Liao Mulong, died, were seriously injured, and surrendered.
In the front, Fang Wukui led the Xuanwu Legion to block the Yunhan Gorge. In the middle were Meng Tian, Zhong Lizhen, and Ma Chao, and behind were Lu Bu and Cheng Yaojin.
The outcome is already clear, and this battle should be lonely.
"lose?"
Li Yao also saw the miserable state of their side, but there was no trace of defeat and decadence on his face. Instead, he sneered:
"Haha, fifth brother, do you think you can catch me like this? You underestimate me.
Do you know how long I have been preparing for this battle? "
Li Yao raised his head and looked up into the sky, his eyes bright and he said:
"Ancestor, come out!"
Li Yao's excited voice made countless people raise their heads.
Prince Yu's eyes narrowed down, showing a hint of surprise. How could Li Yao be recognized by his ancestor?
Which ancestor is it?
Thousands of feet high in the sky, an old man slowly opened his eyes.
Ancestor of the Royal Realm!
I saw the figure of the royal family ancestor flashing and instantly appearing in the sky above Yunhan Gorge.
As soon as the ancestor of the royal family appeared, there was a terrifying thought of being the only one to be respected, as if he wanted to control the entire world, everything was in the palm of his hand, and the power of the vast sea rushed in all directions.
Everyone's movements slowed down, and everything in Yunhan Gorge became infinitely slow, almost stationary.
This unprecedented momentum solidified in Yunhan Gorge. Everyone seemed to be imprisoned physically and mentally, unable to move, and the whole world seemed to turn into a grayish white.
field!
Ruan Jinbiao, Liao Mulong and other top sages felt this aura that made their souls tremble slightly, and they shouted wildly in their minds. They could feel that in the domain of this ancestor, he could kill a large number of them with just one look.
Ah Qing, Fang Wukui, and Lu Bu all looked at him with great solemnity. This domain seemed like a huge mountain suppressing their bodies and souls at all times. They were put on heavy shackles. The slightest movement was like drowning and struggling in the deep sea. A feeling of suffocation and heaviness.
The ancestor of the royal family stretched out his finger and gently touched the bamboo scroll in the center of Yunhan Gorge. The bamboo scroll trembled, and the mysterious and transparent chain covering Yunhan Gorge twitched and quickly retracted into the bamboo scroll.
The legal formation was cracked, and the bamboo scroll in the sky quickly shot back to Li Si's hand.
Clang!
Suddenly, the green jade divine sword in Ah Qing's hand trembled slightly, and green ripples bloomed under the terrifying realm of the Emperor Realm. Ah Qing's eyes moved, and the true energy in his body poured into the green jade divine sword crazily!
Clang!
The green jade divine sword received the blessing of Ah Qing's true essence, and quickly bloomed with a dazzling green light. The green light quickly forced the surrounding areas back, and a green color appeared in the sky, driving away the gray of the world.
The shackles of imprisonment that enveloped A Qing, Li Yuan, Li Si, Jia Xu, Fang Wukui and others immediately dissipated.
The Xuanwu Legion below was also liberated, and the soldiers were sweating profusely and gasping for air.
Ah Qing looked at the sapphire sword in her hand and showed joy for the first time. Without this feeling of being restrained, she could definitely fight against the ancestor of the Emperor's Realm above!
Just when Ah Qing was about to take action, Li Yuan on the side patted Ah Qing's hand gently, indicating not to act rashly, and said to the ancestor of the royal family above:
"Li Yuan pays homage to the Third Ancestor."
The third ancestor of the royal family looked at A Qing who was about to attack him with great interest, especially the sapphire sword in her hand. He felt that this sword contained extremely powerful power.
Seeing Li Yuan greet him respectfully, the third ancestor of the royal family looked at Li Yuan and showed a faint smile, as if admiring and pleased:
"King Chu, you are very good."
The entire aura of the third ancestor of the royal family disappeared, and the domain in Yunhan Gorge was instantly covered.
call!
Zhong Lizhen and Ma Chao took a deep breath and looked at each other. For the first time, they faced the threat of death.
This is just the expansion area of the Royal Realm, and it has already made them unable to resist. It would be terrible if they took action.
But when Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu and the others looked at the ancestor of the royal family, they showed an unprecedented light, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit!
"Thank you, Third Patriarch, for the compliment!"
Li Yuan smiled gently, knowing that this ancestor had no intention of taking action at all.
Fang Wukui's eyes also relaxed, and he loosened the Xuanwu knife in his hand slightly. As soon as his domain opened, he directly disconnected the Xuanwu Legion from him. It became clear that this ancestor was not a peerless strongman in the early stage of the Emperor's Realm.
Li Yao saw that the ancestor he invited actually greeted Li Yuan, and he couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety in his eyes: "Third ancestor, fifth brother wants to usurp the throne and seize my throne. Take him down quickly!"
The third ancestor of the royal family looked at Li Yao and then at King Yu below.
King Yu slightly bowed his hands in respect.
The Third Patriarch looked solemn and said solemnly: "Li Yao, the King of Chu won this battle!"
When Li Yao heard that the Third Patriarch changed his name, his pupils shrank and his face turned extremely pale, knowing what the Third Patriarch was thinking.
His face was full of unwillingness, and he shouted angrily:
"No, Third Ancestor, you were invited by me, why didn't you help me instead of choosing Fifth Brother!"
"Third Ancestor, you are partial!"
The entire Yunhan Gorge resounded with Li Yao's roar!
The Third Patriarch said in a calm tone: "Ancestor, I am indeed here to protect you, but it is not just to protect you. King Chu and King Yu are both outstanding members of the royal family. They have good conduct and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. They have regained the states. With meritorious service, no matter who wins, they can continue to return to Kyoto and become a free prince for the rest of their lives."
"Speaking of favoritism, the one our royal family owes the most is the King of Chu." The third ancestor looked at Li Yuan with eyes full of satisfaction.
With very little help from the royal family, Li Yuan was able to grow to this point. It has to be said that Li Yuan already has the potential of an emperor.
"Now that King Chu has won, he has proven his ability. Ancestor, I will not interfere whether King Chu will keep you or let you go." The Third Ancestor's sharp eyes swept across the military generals belonging to the imperial court in Yunhan Gorge. and all the venerable ones.
Everyone who was swept away by the Third Ancestor lowered their heads one by one. They all understood that the Third Ancestor would not let them start a war. This victory already belonged to the King of Chu, and everyone would be dealt with by the King of Chu.
Seeing that the Third Patriarch not only did not take action against him, but also helped him to scare the generals below from starting a war, Li Yuan felt warm in his heart.
Li Yao clearly knew that the Third Patriarch's decision could not be changed. He looked at Li Yuan with expectant eyes and begged: "Fifth brother, for the sake of my helping you in the past, how about letting me leave?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said calmly: "Brother Emperor, you should continue to be a free prince. I will protect you from wealth for the rest of your life."
"Fifth brother, please let me go. Let me go just this once. Brother Huang has never asked you, can you please let me go just this once?" Li Yao begged bitterly.
As he spoke, Li Yao's mind flashed, and he seemed to have caught a clue about Li Yuan, and he quickly said:
"Didn't you send Shangguan Wan'er to be with my aunt? She has been controlled by me. If you let me go, I will let her go immediately. How about that!
The fact that you can send Shangguan Wan'er to your aunt means that she is very important in your heart, and you won't ignore her safety. "
Li Mujun, below, felt excited. He looked at Li Yuan nervously, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
I hope what Li Yao said is false. Li Yuan doesn't know Wan'er at all.
When Li Yao captured her, she didn't believe it at all
She didn't believe that Shangguan Wan'er, who was as smart as she was and had a close heart, was sent by Li Yuan.
Therefore, after she argued hard, she sealed Shangguan Wan'er's meridians and brought her to Lianzhou. Now she is on her carriage thirty miles away, with two maids taking care of her.
After hearing this, Li Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Brother, there's no need to bother me, she's already back."
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, two figures from afar came over very quickly.
It was Shangguan Wan'er and Zhao Gao who went to rescue her.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
In the sky, Shangguan Wan'er, who had already arrived in front of Li Yuan, bowed directly to Li Yuan Yingying.
"How can it be!"
"How is it possible? How do you know where Shangguan Wan'er is?"
Li Yao watched Li Yuan help Shangguan Wan'er up, his face turned gray, and he knew that he had nothing left.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"No way!"
And Li Mujun shook his head wildly in disbelief. Seeing Shangguan Wan'er getting close to Li Yuan, his face was full of disbelief. Shangguan Wan'er should be hers!
After solemnly helping Shangguan Waner, Li Yuan stepped towards Li Yao. Li Yuan looked at Li Yao and said seriously:
"Brother Imperial, it's time to surrender!"
Li Yao looked at Li Yuan who was close at hand. Facing Li Yuan's repeated persuasion, he knew that Li Yuan had already given him a lot of face.
Li Yao slowly closed his eyes, his expression changed with anger, grievance, and dissatisfaction, and finally turned into a sigh.
With Li Yao admitting defeat, Yunhanxia entered the finishing work.
Today's battle was full of twists and turns. The imperial army was excited when Li Yao's support arrived and victory was in sight. Then Fang Wukui's sudden appearance, Lu Bu's rear siege, Ah Qing's harvest, and the explosion of Meng Tian and others made their hearts sink little by little. .
Originally, the appearance of the third ancestor of the royal family seemed to be a ray of light in the darkness. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the last light before dusk, which plunged them into complete despair.
The dense army below was cleaning the battlefield. In the sky, Lu Bu stepped towards Yuwen Chengdu and said with bright eyes:
"Brother Yuwen, your strength has increased a lot!"
"Let's have one sometime?"
Yu Wencheng understood Lu Bu's eyes very well, and there was a fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words!"
Lu Bu slapped Yuwen Chengdu's shoulder hard with his big hand.
"Hey, Jiang Shangshu, you are quite miserable."
Below, Shangguan Zhenyu, whose meridians had been sealed, saw Jiang Jian who still needed support and joked with a smile.
Jiang Jian, who was holding his chest, looked at Shangguan Zhenyu coldly and replied:
"Hmph, Fang Wukui is indeed better than you!"
Shangguan Zhenyu's smile suddenly solidified.
On the other side, Fang Wukui looked at the very weak Tang Cangtuo who was held in front of him by the guards, and raised his eyebrows:
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the majestic General Tang would be poisoned."
"Ahem..."
Tang Cangtuo didn't know what to say, so he could only cover his face with his hands and cough wildly. It was so embarrassing.
"Father!"
Fang Shiyuan, who was holding a three-pointed two-edged sword and whose armor still had traces of battle, trotted all the way to Fang Wukui, looked at him with twinkling eyes and shouted.
When Fang Wukui saw Fang Shiyuan, who was becoming more mature and more concise, he nodded slightly and said in approval:
"Yes, you have grown a lot!"
"Hehe, father, you are the strong one!"
Fang Shiyuan recalled Fang Wukui's domineering impression before, his eyes flashed with admiration and pride.
"Well, you can do it in the future too."
Fang Wukui saw the look of admiration in Fang Shiyuan's eyes, his expression remained unchanged, but he straightened his waist unconsciously.
"By the way, your mother asked me to ask you if you have someone you like?"
"ah?"
Fang Shiyuan looked stunned. He didn't understand why his father would ask such a boring question after they just met.
"Ah for what?"
"Is there any?"
"Uh, dad, I'm going to help first."
Fang Shiyuan's eyes rolled around, looking at Zhong Lizhen and Cheng Yaojin who were arranging the distribution of the surrendered troops. He turned around and ran towards them to escape.
"Wait a minute, I, Lian Wucan, am one of my own, and I want to see Master Jia Xu!"
Just as Ma Chao led the army to escort the elders and the army of Fengxue Tower, Lian Wucan, who was next to the owner of Fengxue Tower, shouted loudly.
"Okay, stop shouting, the general knows, you can come out."
Jia Xu, who was in the distance, had already heard Lian Wucan's cry and nodded slightly to Ma Chao. Ma Chao gestured for Lian Wucan to come out with a slight gesture.
Next to him, the owner of Fengxue Hall, whose meridians had been blocked, looked at Lian Wucan with wide eyes and said excitedly:
"Lian Wucan, are you really a member of the King of Chu?"
"Lord, I'm sorry, I was forced to do nothing."
Lian Wucan looked apologetically at the building owner and the elders, then strode out and followed a general.
"I'm sorry, you surrendered to King Chu, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you ask my opinion!"
The owner of Fengxue said excitedly, he is willing too!
Why didn't Lian Wucan ask him?
The owner of Fengxue Tower watched Lian Wucan being led away by a general and shouted: "Lian Wucan, remember to say a few nice words to me when you see King Chu. Then the deputy owner of Fengxue Tower will be yours." !”
On the top of the mountain, four figures quietly watched the dense army below cleaning the battlefield.
Lian Wucan's cry attracted King Yu's attention, he looked at Li Yuan and smiled bitterly:
"Fifth brother, you really exceeded my expectations. There should be a lot of secrets of yours in Aoki City now."
"Brother Three Emperors, accept, accept, accept!"
"Huh, Li Yuan, you are quite good at using your methods. You have used them on me." Li Mujun said with jealousy as he saw Shangguan Wan'er standing quietly with Ah Qing not far away.
Li Yuan could only reply with a polite smile: "Haha."
King Yu and Li Yao simply ignored Li Mujun's words.
"Indeed, it's a pity. I was only one step away from winning." Li Yao looked at Li Yao and said resentfully.
King Yu saw that Li Yao was still a little unconvinced and shook his head slowly. This was more than just one step away.
Liu Jin is Li Yuan’s person, and Zhang Yongan is also Li Yuan’s person!
Even if Li Yao can return to Kyoto, the people next to him are all Li Yuan's people, how can you win?
King Yu could only say that he was convinced. If Li Yao won, he would be able to leave with full confidence, but facing Li Yuan and the powerful men under him, he might not have a chance.
And if nothing unexpected happens, Qingmu City has been captured by Li Yuan.
Thinking of this, King Yu sighed again:
"The Third Ancestor has already chosen you. Some of the top forces in Zhongzhou are here. Who else can stop you now?
You can also take Yangzhou and Liangzhou. They are all loyal soldiers of the Yu Dynasty. You can use them with confidence. If I lose, I will lose. I still have this courage.
"This troubled times must come to an end."
