Sansheng

A mighty group of people marched towards the imperial mausoleum. Lin Zhong rode a tall horse and walked in the forefront of the group, accompanied by Lin Cong and the masked man.

Halfway through the journey, suddenly there was a thick fog in the forest ahead.The speed of the whole team slowed down, Lin Zhong's horse hesitated towards the road in the forest ahead, no matter how much he whipped it, it just circled in place, neighing continuously, sending out signs of uneasiness.

Seeing this, Lin Cong stepped forward to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, I will go to the front with this general to visit. Your Highness is waiting for my signal." After finishing speaking, he and the masked man led a team into the depths of the forest.

"Second brother, be careful." Lin Zhong did not forget to tell him.

After Lin Cong left, it took about half a candle to burn incense, but there was no movement. Lin Zhong waited impatiently, so he led the army forward slowly, intending to meet them.

After walking for a while, I felt the ground under my feet shaking. In the forest ahead, hundreds of birds flew up from the trees in shock, and the animals that were originally in the bushes also fled in all directions.In the thick fog ahead, there was a roar of a thunderous beast, and with each roar, the sound of giant footsteps that shook the ground was getting closer and closer.

Lin Zhong clenched the sword in his hand, and looked at the thick fog in front of him intently. The outline in the thick fog became clearer and clearer, and it turned out to be a three-meter-high black giant running towards him at high speed.

"Not good! Escort!" The soldiers next to him hurriedly started shooting arrows at the beast, but they didn't seem to be able to threaten the giant beast at all, and the beast didn't slow down at all.

"Your Majesty, let's take cover and run away!" Dozens of soldiers quickly formed human shields and stood in front of them. A dozen of them stepped forward and pulled Lin Zhong back quickly.

The horse was frightened, and quickly ran back for dozens of miles, only to find that there were only a dozen or so people around him who had just escorted him.

Thinking that he was out of danger, he was trying to catch his breath.But he heard a roar in the woods behind him, and that tall and majestic black figure rushed out suddenly.Although the fog was very thick, but because it was close at hand, I finally saw clearly that it was a three-meter-high black bear, staring at the blood-red eyes like lanterns, with saliva dripping from its mouth, and a ferocious face, approaching him step by step.

"Escort!" A dozen soldiers picked up their swords, rushed forward one after another, and stabbed at the black bear.Unexpectedly, the black bear flicked away the palms of several people like scratching an itch, and threw them onto the rocks. Immediately, their skulls cracked, and they vomited blood and died.

The rest of the people were suddenly dumbfounded, and a few who were not afraid of death rushed up again, and the result was of course the same as the former.

In the end, only Lin Zhong was left alone, blocked by the black bear on a dead end, with nowhere to escape, he drew his sword and wanted to fight the beast to the death, swung the sword away, but was pushed away by the huge and powerful bear's paw, The sword flew out immediately.

Unarmed, Lin Zhong only had despair in his heart. Looking at the black shadow that was getting closer, he opened his bloody mouth, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The black bear roared, raised its two sharp claws, and a gust of palm hit, Lin Zhong closed his eyes in fear, only waiting for the moment when the flesh would be torn apart.

But a gust of wind blew up, and with no direction to tell, another white giant leaped out from behind, like a white lightning, and slammed at the black bear.It was only two-thirds the size of the black bear, but it was extremely ferocious, its teeth firmly bit the bear's back, even though the black bear shook violently, it did not let go.

Lin Zhong took a closer look, and found that the white beast was the same as in the dream, only this time he finally saw clearly that it was a giant white wolf.

The black bear was bitten painfully, roared loudly, grabbed the wolf's back with one sharp claw, and immediately the skin there was ripped apart, and a large piece of flesh was rolled out.

Lin Zhong was at a loss, and just stared dumbfounded at the two giant beasts fighting to the death.

Just as he was about to bend down to pick up the sword on the ground, he was thrown by the tree by the palm of the black bear. He felt that his internal organs were about to be thrown out, and he clutched his heart in pain.

Seeing this, the white wolf's eyes showed an extremely ferocious light, and his white teeth flashed coldly. He rushed forward and bit off a piece of meat from the black bear's shoulder.

The black bear was so painful that it threw the wolf away, and the wolf was thrown heavily on the rocks. The black bear roared and came forward, with two bear claws, scrambling, and saw blood rushing into the air. The white wolf body suddenly looked like a wolf. As if coming out of a pool of blood, the whole body, no part of the flesh is complete, and blood is bubbling.

"Woo..." The white wolf was seriously injured and slid down the rock, his head fell heavily on the ground, only the sound of heavy breathing remained.

Seeing that it couldn't move, the black bear rushed towards Lin Zhong frantically again. Lin Zhong lost his strength, and his arms on both sides were caught by its two sharp claws. He gradually felt the pain of muscle tearing and cried out loudly.

Hearing his cries, the dying white wolf seemed to gather its strength again, struggled with trembling legs, and pounced again. This time, its teeth bit the neck of the giant bear, and let the The monster swung vigorously, unable to shake it off.

Finally, the swaying range of that huge body became smaller and smaller, and its movements became weaker and weaker. Finally, it collapsed like a wall. When it fell, a layer of loess was lifted from the ground, and the feet shook again.

Blood flowed from the black bear's neck like a stream.The white wolf finally let go of his teeth, but he didn't have the strength to stand up, and lay on the side, panting.

Lin Zhong was about to step forward to see its condition, but was stopped by Lin Cong who came from nowhere:

"Be careful, Your Majesty! Hurry up! Escort! Kill that beast!" With an order, a rain of arrows flew towards the white wolf. More than 20 arrows hit the wolf's body, and its back was pierced like a hedgehog.

"Woo!" The wolf raised his neck in pain and howled.

"Stop!" Lin Zhong hurriedly stopped, but Lin Cong ignored him and hugged Lin Zhong, "Your Majesty, don't come near!"

Winking at the masked man, he saw that the masked man came to the front of the white wolf with a chopping axe in his hand. A few soldiers quickly tied up the white wolf with thick ropes, and the masked man kicked the white wolf. Stepping on the wolf's head, he raised the ax in his hand high and aimed it at its neck.

"Stop!" Lin Zhong shouted.

The wolf broke free from the rope with one paw, threw the masked man to the ground, bit off his neck, and tore off the cloth on his face with one paw, revealing that the face was intact. Surprisingly, it turned out to be General Jiang Qianming who defected and escaped during the First Battle of Jijiang.

"Killed! The monster killed again!" Lin Cong shouted loudly, "Soldiers, whoever kills this beast will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

"Lin Cong! Don't touch it!" Lin Zhong hastily stopped it.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to protect this monster? Look carefully, who is it!" Lin Cong grabbed Lin Zhong by the wrist and brought him to the white wolf.

When he got closer, he saw a red rope looming between the long white hair on his wrist.

The same heart knot as Lin Zhong's wrist.

"Could it be... really..." Lin Zhong was too shocked to speak.

"Your Highness, you can see clearly, it is a monster!" After finishing speaking, Lin Cong pointed the hilt of his sword at the center of the wolf's head's brow, and gave a blunt blow.

The wolf writhed in pain and struggled with all four limbs, but in the eyes of everyone, it slowly turned into a human shape.

The once beautiful young man was covered in ragged clothes, torn into pieces, with large and deep wounds all over his body, some of which even exposed his bones.His long white hair, already stained with blood, was scattered on his face indiscriminately.

Reaching out with trembling hands, Lin Zhong slowly lifted the white hair covering his face.

It was that all-too-familiar face, the face with long and narrow eyes and a mysterious smile, but at this moment, there was no blood on that face, eyes were closed, lips were slightly parted, and he was only panting for breath.

"It turns out...you...are really a demon..." Lin Zhong bit his lip and tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Guo'er...forgive me..." Chu Ao's tears flowed wantonly from his eyes, soaking the blood on his face.

"Everyone saw it! Chu Ao is a demon! He has the wound of the eldest prince's plum blossom knife on his arm. He killed the first prince and the former emperor! Now, he wants to kill the emperor!" Lin Cong pointed at Chu Ao and came out The wound on the arm, shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, please don't be confused anymore, please kill the demon immediately!" Lin Cong raised his arms and shouted.

The sergeants behind each raised their swords and shouted in unison.

"Slay the demon! Slay the demon! Slay the demon!"

One after another, like a war drum, beating in the sky above the valley.

But like a death knell, it struck the hearts of Chu Ao and Lin Zhong.

Chu Ao raised his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Lin Zhong, his eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, which made his heart feel like a knife.

Seeing the man finally trembling his hands, he closed his eyes resignedly.

With the sword held high, life and death are just a thought away.

Finally, Lin Zhong closed his eyes and swung his sword down.

I thought that what was coming to my neck would be the coldness of the sword, but suddenly I felt my body loosen, the sword swung down, and what cut off was the rope tied around my body.

"Your Majesty! You are so confused!" Lin Cong shouted with a sudden change of expression.The soldiers behind also began to shout angrily:

"Slay the demon! Slay the demon! Slay the demon!"

"Shut up!" Lin Zhong turned back and shouted loudly, "He saved my life just now, and I don't want to be an ungrateful person. This time, I let his life go!"

"Then how will your majesty explain to his dead brother and father! How to explain to me, Beili Wanmin!" Lin Cong pressed on step by step, and the soldiers behind him responded one after another.

Turning around, facing Chu Ao, he finally became cruel, and his red lips parted slightly: "You go, don't let me see you again."

"Guo'er!" Chu Ao's heart burst open, this was the second time he said this to him, that time, he died like a dead person for seven days.

"If I see you again, don't blame us for meeting swords!" He paused every word, gritted his teeth and said.

Chu Ao staggered and stood up, and smiled feebly, that smile was full of bitterness.

"Guo'er, I didn't expect that I loved you all my life, but in the end what I got in return was the phrase 'swords meet'".

Looking at Lin Zhong, he was originally the gentlest, most innocent and purest Guo'er next to him, but now he is just the most righteous and awe-inspiring emperor of Beili.

Lin Zhong tried his best to remain expressionless, but his nails dug into his palm.

"Guo'er, you loved me, right?" With a begging tone, as humble as a beggar.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and when you open them again, your eyes are cold, "You are wrong, I have never loved you in my life."

Lin Cong, who was behind Lin Zhong, heard this sentence, his smile spread all over his cheeks, and his palm stretched out to Lin Zhong's heart slowly.

Everything fell into Chu Ao's eyes.He pulled an arrow from his body and stabbed in Lin Zhong's direction with all his strength.

Lin Zhong was shocked, thinking that he was angry and hated, so he instinctively raised his sword to block it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ao jumped over him, knocked down Lin Cong who was behind Lin Zhong, and pierced his throat with an arrow.

Lin Cong twisted his face in pain, vomited blood, and said unwillingly: "Unfortunately...just one step away..." After finishing speaking, he swallowed his breath.

Lin Zhong's sword didn't hurt Chu Ao, but it accidentally cut the concentric knot between his wrists.

A certain connection between Chu Ao's heart and him was also blocked by the distrust of that sword.

But what Lin Zhong saw was that Chu Ao killed another person in front of him, and it was his second brother, the second prince of Beili.

All the soldiers roared angrily, and were about to step forward with their swords in hand.

Lin Zhong pointed at him angrily and shouted, "Get lost!"

A whistle blew out from Chu Ao's mouth. Lin Zhong's horse, which was also a gift from Weiyang in the past, came galloping like a gust of wind, picked up Chu Ao, flew all four hooves, and quickly disappeared from people's sight middle.
