In the Blade

A quarter of an hour later, the naked old eunuch looked at the four corpses lying on the ground with a complicated look in his eyes.

Although he survived, the process was similar to what he thought. Facing three masters who were on the list of the best soldiers, even if they were not ranked very high, he was forced to use all his strength. Not only did he use all the silk threads in his clothes, but he was almost hacked to death. But no matter what, in this three-on-one, or even four-on-one fight, he was the one who survived.

"I don't seem to be... that weak?"

I don't know if it was because the exercise just now was too intense, or because there were several cuts on his body, the old eunuch was a little dazed for a while.

Although he looked so majestic on the surface, after the fight, after feeling the strength of these people, he was even ready to be loyal on the spot. The reason was that he really couldn't beat them, especially when the opponent was very strong, but he became weak because he hadn't taken action for too long. The opponent was still three against one, and such a killing situation was enough to take his life.

But he was the one who survived in the end, even though he won so embarrassingly.

"Is it God's blessing?"

The old eunuch felt it was a little unreal no matter how he thought about it. Did he just perform a little beyond his level?

Perhaps only this explanation can make sense, otherwise there is really no reason for him to survive such a killing situation.

When his strength was already stretched to the limit, luck was still on his side after all.

"No, it's not God's blessing."

Thinking of this, the old eunuch who came back to his senses shook his head repeatedly.

What is he, just a eunuch, his body is not complete, how could God bless him?

God is not blessing him, but the palace, His Majesty the Emperor, and the entire Dachen!

"My Dachen, the fate is not over!"

At this moment, the old eunuch burst into tears.

Although this is a bit self-touching, at least at this juncture, any good luck can be regarded as comfort - at least now, after killing three assassins, the old eunuch finally has more confidence in the future of Dachen.

At the same time, he also has more confidence in himself.

He seems not as weak as he imagined. The old eunuch realized this for the first time. Although he knew that he had some martial arts before, he was still far behind those real top masters.

But now it seems that if we exclude those real masters who were not included in the list for various reasons, among the remaining people, his first place in the Hundred Weapons Chart is still quite convincing?

It seems to be true. One person beats four, and even kills four. What else can this be if not strength?

"That is to say..."

The old eunuch suddenly thought of a possibility.

In the past, he had never considered himself a master, so he didn't think about it much. But now it seems that since he is a master, he can naturally do things that only masters can do - such as breaking an army alone, such as taking the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops. This is the crushing of ordinary people by masters, and it is a privilege that only the real strong who have great power can enjoy.

Just like the Emperor Taizu of the past.

Dachen established the country with military force. Although this military force seems to be an army that conquers the world on the surface, in fact, it refers to the tyrannical force of the Taizu of Dachen himself - pure war, in many cases, still needs to be reasonable, but the military force of the Taizu of Dachen, which can be called a living god, can be completely unreasonable.

And what war needs is this kind of unreasonableness.

Victory is everything, everything is for victory. As for the so-called reason, it is only after the victory. No matter how reasonable the loser is, it is just the barking of the loser. No matter how unreasonable the winner is, there are still people who will make up some reason for him.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has always been the case since ancient times.

Of course, this kind of country that relies on only one strong man to build it is not really perfect. For example, the chaotic court of Dachen and the equally chaotic system of governors of prefectures and counties were decided by Emperor Taizu at that time. Although that powerful giant was a god in combat, his ability in government affairs could only be described as tragic.

In fact, over the years, many people have felt that this official system is too chaotic and unreliable. However, no matter how unreliable this system is, it has spawned a large number of beneficiaries. It is also something that Emperor Taizu personally agreed to. It can be regarded as an ancestral law. Who can move it? Who dares to move it?

This is the pressure of the strong. Even if the strong man is no longer in this world, no one really dares to disobey him.

"Until another strong man appears."

The old eunuch suddenly remembered a figure that still impressed him.

Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would always think of the figure he had brought back to Jiankang. Although the figure had done a great deed in killing the false emperor who had usurped the throne, the figure of the horse trampling on the throne was a nightmare he would never get rid of. Having lived in the inner palace all his life, it was the first time he knew that someone could trample on the etiquette, the rules, and everything in the world to such an extent.

Was the horse trampling only on the throne? It was clearly trampling on the face of the royal family!

But even if he committed such a crazy act, the man still wasn't punished, or in other words, no one in the world could punish him - as for the reason, there was only one reason, and that was strength.

Because it is strong, no one dares to touch it; because it is strong, no one can control it.

Because he is strong, he can ride on a golden horse, and because he is strong, he can even face the entire empire by himself.

Because he is strong, even if he does such crazy things, he will be named Grand Master by the emperor and be called a loyal minister and good general.

The former old eunuch still had some resentment over this incident. You must know that he personally brought this person back to Jiankang, and they even had a pleasant conversation along the way. However, it was precisely because of their good friendship that he could not tolerate him even more. His outrageous behavior, his disregard for etiquette and his trampling on the dignity of the royal family just touched his bottom line.

He was angry, he was confused, he didn't know why the other party did this, but with his strength, he couldn't go to the other party to ask for an explanation - after all, he might still be a little scared, and with this level of If a monster fights, he will probably be killed in one encounter.

Anger and fear intertwined, but there was no outlet for release. This twisted emotion finally condensed into some kind of lingering nightmare in his heart.

But at this moment, when the long-lasting anger gradually faded away, when the old eunuch himself realized that he had become a strong man, he suddenly understood something.

"The existence of a strong man is already trampling on the rules."

Yes, he should have realized this before. Why is it that the emperor is young and the ministers are immoral, but these courtiers who are greedy for profit do not dare to mess around in the court?

Is it really because of how well he, an eunuch, is doing politics? Or how superb is his palace fighting ability?

Apparently not.

There is only one answer from beginning to end, and that is that he really dares to kill people desperately.

No one would risk the lives of the whole family to kill an eunuch, so when he showed his murderous intention, even Lord Sikong, who had become the leader of hundreds of officials, would still choose to shut up.

This method is naturally against the normal rules. It is also extremely illegal to bring a bloody fight into the court.

But, this works great.

Especially when some people with ulterior motives want to take advantage of the emperor's youth to use their lips and tongue to seduce His Majesty.

"It turns out that I have already..."

The old eunuch was speechless for a moment.

An arrogant and domineering grand master, and an eunuch who interferes in politics. Is there really any difference between them?

It seems that there is no difference.

They are just using their tyrannical force and tough methods to instill their ideas and will into those who cannot defeat them.

"So this is the strong man..."

Thinking of this, the old eunuch took a deep breath.

And the silk threads scattered around the old eunuch flew back to the old eunuch on their own without any wind at this moment.

In an instant, the old eunuch put on the old palace robe again.

Only this time, the color of the robe was not the festive bright red before.

It was a rich dark red like blood.

The rich smell of blood surrounded his body, which was the blood that was stained when the silk thread cut the human body. However, the old eunuch who was known to be mysophobic did not feel any discomfort at this moment, and his expression was actually a bit of enjoyment.

But what he enjoyed was not the bloody aftermath of the killing, but the future after possessing this strength.

First of all, after he became a strong man, at least Da Chen could be saved. If those grassland people really dare to go south, the worst they can do is assassinate the king or break the formation with a single rider - yes, it doesn't matter recruiting soldiers, nor does food and grass matter, as long as they use strong men to deal with the enemy commander Just carry out attacks and kills. As for the enemy troops, they are the source of evil spirits and materials to increase strength.

Secondly, since he has become a strong man, he can also suppress the young people internally. If anyone dares to make a mistake, he will be caught and killed at worst. Anyway, he has become a strong man and is ranked first in the Hundred Weapons Library. position, this means that except for those real masters, except for His Majesty the Emperor above him, no one is qualified to judge him, let alone have the ability to sanction him.

As long as you are strong enough, you can conquer the outside world and pacify the inside, and you can revive Dachen!

"God bless Da Chen!"

Thinking of this, the old eunuch's face became even more rosy.

At this moment, he even vaguely felt something that could be called Manifest Destiny.

As long as we move forward unswervingly, the road will extend infinitely, and Dachen will last forever!

Of course, this is just a thought.

The reason why he felt it vaguely was of course because the old eunuch immediately realized something more realistic - for example, in this situation, he has become a strong man, but should he fight against the outsiders first, or Make peace first?

If he wanted to fight off foreigners first, he would definitely go north, form an army by one man, and kill all the grassland people. He might become the first eunuch general, or even the first eunuch to be named a prince for his military exploits. Indeed, , this looks extremely beautiful, but what next?

Then the young emperor who is far away in Jiankang will be surrounded by the slanders of his ministers, and he, a righteous man who is loyal to the country, will be beaten into a self-respecting gelding... According to his understanding of those courtiers, these people even He would prepare to move south when he won a big victory on the front line. They were capable of doing such a thing.

In short, fighting is almost a waste of time. No matter how good his performance is, there will be people who can send him back.

But if he wants to stabilize the interior first, he has to stay in Jiankang, at least he can't leave the city - in fact, this is the safest idea. After all, you only need to look at the four corpses on the ground to know that the so-called deep palace is basically defenseless for masters.

Today, he was in the palace and stopped these four people. If he was not in the palace one day, some master in the Hundred Soldiers Book sneaked into the emperor's bedroom...

That scene, he was sweating just thinking about it.

But that's where the problem lies.

He stayed in Jiankang to defend the palace, who could go north to meet the enemy for him?

"This..."

The old eunuch choked on the spot.

The fantasy time is over.

Becoming a strong man doesn't seem to be able to do everything.

At least he couldn't split himself into two now, one to stay in the palace and the other to go to the front to meet the enemy - of course, in fact he could also select some experts to help, such as those who fought against monsters recently, maybe they could be used in the battle formation, but how to say this kind of thing...

He didn't trust these people.

On the one hand, he didn't trust their strength. He felt that he could go north to meet the grassland people, but this didn't mean that these soldiers could. You have to know that the grassland people also know this evil spirit, and it has even been used in the army a long time ago. These so-called masters have a hard time fighting monsters. Can they really beat the systematic grassland people?

On the other hand, he could not trust the loyalty of these people. After all, these military commanders were all under his command. How could he not know that these military commanders who controlled the evil spirits were all masters, but they were also unstable sources of trouble. It might be okay when they did not attack, but once the evil spirits entered the brain and began to attack, it would be a disaster comparable to the birth of a monster. Such a dangerous thing could not be arranged by the emperor's side anyway. He felt numb just thinking about it.

"Even the most unreliable Du Taishi is much more reliable than them."

Thinking of this, the old eunuch could not help but look into the distance.

Yes, it has been a while since the last meeting.

I don't know how the man named Du Chengfeng is doing now?

The first update is here. I'm going to squat in the pit, and everyone should rest early.

In addition: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

Another question, I used to update 2,000 words twice a day, but in recent days, due to sleepiness and for the sake of content integrity, I have temporarily updated 4,000 words per update. I saw some feedback from everyone saying that I have updated less, but isn’t the amount the same?

If it really feels less, then I will allocate some sleep time and try to update more.
