Chapter 492 Too much chaos
The sword light flashed and blood spurted out like a pillar.
The expression on Huahua Taisui Gao Muen's face was completely frozen in that wanton smile.
The young woman who was molested by Gao Muen was stunned for a moment, and then screamed in terror.
The surrounding servants and the man wearing the uniform of a waiting officer with a knife all looked shocked.
Immediately afterwards, the man with the knife showed an angry and desperate look on his face, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the sword light.
"...Prince Qin's Mansion?"
Looking at the lone carriage, the man with the knife was slightly shocked.
The next second, the young driver in front of the carriage glanced at him and waved his right hand lightly.
After cutting off Gao Muen's head, the long sword nailed into the tree trunk on the roadside suddenly trembled. He suddenly pulled out the sword and circled to slash at the man with the sword and the surrounding guards.
"Pfft——"
With the sound of the sword cutting into flesh, the necks of all the servants and guards were easily cut off by the sword light.
Blood spurted out from the gap in his neck.
The man with the knife covered his neck where the artery had been severed, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he looked at the Qin Prince's carriage not far away and the young coachman in front of it with pain and confusion on his face.
Why... is it Prince Qin's Mansion?
A thought flashed through the man with the knife.
Then, a cold word floated into his ears, becoming the last scene before he fell into darkness.
"Assisting the tyrants to do harm, working as a talisman to the tiger... they deserve to be killed!"
Ye Zixun glanced coldly at the corpses of Huahua Taisui and his minions, then controlled the flying sword, picked up a basket from the ground, and delivered it to the frightened young woman.
"Let's go quickly."
Ye Zixun said softly.
The woman seemed to have come to her senses. She held back her fear and stretched out her hand, tremblingly taking the basket.
Feijian escaped and disappeared into the carriage. Ye Zixun swung the reins and continued to drive towards the palace wall in front of him as if he casually crushed an ant on the roadside.
The young woman stared blankly at the back of the carriage, suddenly knelt down, banged her head three times, then stood up quickly, and left in a hurry towards her home.
"What, are you feeling something?"
Ye Zixun's words came from the front, awakening Zhou Lai in the carriage from his daze.
He looked away at the young woman and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"I understand what you mean...I can change it."
"You are very smart."
Ye Zixun praised.
Zhou Lai was silent for a moment and said softly: "Over the years, for my goals, I have indeed deliberately forgotten some small things, but there is no other way. After all, I am an ordinary person. At most, I have some advanced knowledge. Unlike you, With extraordinary force, if you want to achieve great things, you must endure what ordinary people cannot endure and endure what ordinary people cannot endure..."
"You're absolutely right."
Ye Zixun nodded.
A glimmer of hope arose in Zhou Lai's heart: "So..."
Ye Zixun shook his head: "Actually, I can understand what you are doing, but you still have to go through the process..."
He actually has no prejudice against King Qin Zhou Lai. It's just that this guy was unlucky and chose the most inappropriate time to test Ning Yi, so he fell into the current situation.
Most of the rules of the alliance are set by the artificial intelligence life "Void".
At that time, "Void" had not yet evolved any emotions, and the rules established were almost all based on alliances and members, focusing on a naked interest, which was very unkind.
In the eyes of the ruthless void, apart from the alliance and official members, everything else is just a tool.
Such rules developed well in the early stage, but now, as more and more complex situations continue to arise, problems arise with these rules.
For example, now, Ning Yi joined the alliance before Zhou Lai, so he is considered a formal member of the alliance. Under the rules of the void, his interests are naturally more important than Zhou Lai, who has not yet joined the alliance.
According to the rules, Zhou Lai had to pay a price for taking action against Ning Yi.
But this price will not completely eliminate his qualifications to join the alliance.
This led to Ye Zixun not knowing how to deal with it most appropriately.
...It’s better to follow the rules first, and then submit relevant proposals after returning to the alliance!
Ye Zixun thought so while driving the carriage towards the palace.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, Zhou Lai in the carriage suddenly gritted his teeth and grabbed the flying sword in front of him.
The sword blade cut his palm open, blood flowed out, and a stinging sensation entered his mind, but Zhou Lai did not let go.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Zixun was startled by him.
"It's too chaotic..." Zhou Lai looked pale and shook his head, "I saw that you can control hundreds of flying swords, so I said that you have the strength to sweep thousands of armies, or even ten thousand armies, so you forced your father to dethrone my title as king. Even deposing the crown prince is easy for you."
"But this is too messy..."
"Now the Wu Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. The imperial court is already weak and cannot afford the price of your playing with the imperial court and imperial power. If you really want to punish me, just kill me here!"
Ye Zixun said in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Zhou Lai's face was pale, but his hand holding the sword did not loosen.
Ye Zixun frowned, and the vibranium flying sword suddenly buzzed, releasing a faint blue energy wave and flicking Zhou Lai's right hand away.
Blood was dripping on the carriage. Zhou Lai covered his bloody right palm and sat silently in the carriage.
The carriage stopped, Ye Zixun opened the curtain, got into the carriage, looked at Zhou Lai carefully, and suddenly spoke.
"The King of Qin came to Zhou, offered poisons, and plotted to assassinate the prince. He should be deprived of his royal title, demoted to a commoner, and exiled thousands of miles away."
Zhou Lai laughed when he heard this: "If that's all, I can do it myself without bothering Brother Ye."
Ye Zixun blinked and said, "Then do you know what I will say to your father next?"
Zhou Lai thought for a while and said with a smile: "Do you mean to say that you have changed your mind and plan to depose the prince and make me the prince?"
Ye Zixun was slightly startled, and then praised: "You are indeed very smart."
Zhou Lai shook his head: "Brother Ning said that I need to pay some price to regain my qualifications. At that time, I knew that Brother Ye and Brother Ning just wanted to punish me with a small punishment and a big warning...a slap in the face and a sweet date. I often use this method, and it is not considered smart."
Ye Zixun smiled and said: "Since you guessed it, why did you stop me?"
"Isn't it that you have been planning for many years to obtain the position of prince, even if you pay the price of parricide?"
Zhou Lai said sternly: "This is not the future. Without experiencing decades or even hundreds of years of suffering, the imperial power is irreplaceable. Brother Ye wants to use his superb force to play with the imperial power and disgrace the royal family. This kind of behavior is unacceptable to me." The king cannot accept it.”
"Besides, I can become the crown prince without Brother Ye!"
As he spoke, Zhou Lai once again exuded the aura that belonged to King Qin.
Ye Zixun looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You don't like breaking rules, right?"
Zhou Lai nodded and said: "Of course, I am the second son of the current emperor and the maker of the rules. Naturally, I don't like people who break the rules or even transcend the rules."
Ye Zixun smiled and said: "For example, I..."
Zhou Lai nodded and said: "If possible, yes."
Ye Zixun thought for a while and said: "I killed Huahua Taisui Gao Mu'en, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Lai was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "I didn't touch him because Gao Qiu was my father's favorite and secretly stood by me. But if I want to deal with Gao Qiu, I believe my father will not stop him." .”
Ye Zixun shook his head and said: "I can understand that you don't stick to trivial matters for the sake of a great cause, but I still disagree with Gao Muen. Have you ever counted how many good women he has murdered over the years?"
Zhou Lai looked pale and said softly: "This is my fault, I will make up for it."
Ye Zixun sighed and said: "I can see that you are indeed a person who does great things. I can't understand your realm. For me, good and evil have no big or small consequences. Gao Muen's matter does make me a little dissatisfied... …”
Zhou Lai said softly: "Good and evil are both big and small, I understand that, but when doing big things, you have to make choices."
Ye Zixun looked at him intently, suddenly opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
"Where is Prince Qin's palace? I will take you back..."
Ye Zixun's voice came from outside the carriage, and Zhou Lai was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Lai seemed to understand something, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly pointed in the direction of Prince Qin's Mansion.
Ye Zixun nodded and drove the carriage towards Prince Qin's Mansion.
Zhou Lai took out the handkerchief he carried with him, wrapped it around his right hand, and said hesitantly: "Is this Brother Ye's test for me?"
Ye Zixun shook his head: "No, I was just persuaded by you..."
Zhou Lai was silent for a moment and said softly: "After I return to the palace, I will ask my father to resign, leave the capital, and return to the fiefdom..."
Ye Zixun's voice came softly: "No need, change the price to the sword wound on your hand!"
Zhou Lai was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother Ye... there should be an organization behind him, right?"
Ye Zixun was noncommittal: "Hmm..."
Zhou Lai shook his head: "It's too casual."
...Indeed, the time traveler has so much power that he can almost control the fate of new members.
This is Lin Zhongtian's preferential treatment to senior members, and it is also a promise to those early veterans.
However, the alliance has developed to this point. This loose structure, which is more like a group of friends, should indeed be improved. Some of the powers belonging to the time and space travelers should also be recovered and returned to the alliance.
Of course, Ye Zixun naturally doesn't care much about this kind of thing.
But people like Ning Yi and Zhou Lai may put forward relevant opinions in the near future.
Seeing that Ye Zixun didn't answer, Zhou Lai was silent for a while and then said, "Now that I know the price, what are the qualifications?"
"Wait a little longer..." Ye Zixun said leisurely, "You will know."
I updated it late today because I myself felt that the writing of these chapters was very problematic, so I took the time to correct it. However, no matter how I changed it, I still felt that it was very problematic, so I gave up on myself and published it, and the problem turned out to be huge.
Alas, I don’t have enough writing skills. I really shouldn’t touch this kind of plot. In order to avoid writing failure, I’ll skip this world in a few chapters...
