The road is right under your feet

Chapter 279 Abdicate

Bai Xing pretended to be panicked and dodged left and right, jumping up and down while holding the child. He happened to avoid all the blades, and happened to let the other party accidentally hurt his own people, and also happened to bump into the soldiers who were killing everyone.

The person who hit the knife was fine, but the person who was hit happened to hit the blade and died.

The main hit was just right, I was lucky.

Both sides were stunned. The soldiers waved their swords harder and harder in defiance of the evil, and more and more people surrounded and killed Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing gave a few dry laughs, then hugged the child and hid (escaped) and jumped around.

Not only that, as a miracle doctor, Shirahoshi is the most wanted person, unless he turns against them.

However, Shirahoshi responded with dry laughs several times, and the other party completely lost his patience and became murderous.

A game of chase was being played out in the midst of the chaos and war.

"Your Highness, the master is really a wonderful person." Xiao Tao covered his mouth and laughed softly, "Look, the young master's eyes are staring straight, dull and cute."

Wu Yaxin also had a hint of smile in her eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Xiao Tao, the gentleman is our honored guest, you must not be rude."

Xiao Tao agreed, raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Murong Yan beside him, with a rather contemptuous look on his face.

Murong Yan seemed unaware. He just lowered his head to drink tea, his eyes fixed on everyone, as if he was watching a good show.

At this time, Wu Qingshuang on the stage was fighting one against three, one of whom was a middle-aged man with great cultivation, and he was knocked down in an instant.

Emperor Wu was still weak, and it was difficult for him to walk a few more steps, let alone wield a sword or a gun.

Seeing this, he started coughing and gasping for breath. He pointed at Wu Xingzhen with a stiff and ferocious look in his eyes.

"Fifth sister!" Wu Yaxin was shocked. Without caring about anything else, she stepped forward to help the seriously injured Wu Qingshuang up and checked her injuries.

Emperor Wu took a breath, his face furious, his hands trembling as he pointed at Wu Xingzhen, "Asshole! Rebellious son! She is your biological sister, you...you..."

Wu Xingzhen smiled, but there was a desolate look in his eyes. He rushed forward and put the knife on Emperor Wu's neck, "Yes, she is my biological sister, born of the same mother. How could I kill her? It's just that she is stubborn and I, as her brother, am just giving her a small punishment."

"But, father. Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and only the eldest legitimate son can inherit the throne. And my legitimate brother, the crown prince, is dead! Died at the hands of a hypocritical monk! I should have been the next crown prince, why haven't you appointed a crown prince yet?"

"Heh." He took a step back. "I have devoted myself to you for so many years and have made countless contributions. I have sacrificed my life to gain these achievements, but now that you have recovered from your illness, you have started to discard the donkey after it has served its purpose. How many of my confidants have been replaced?

At first I just thought that I wasn’t doing well enough and you looked down on me, so I kept working hard and persevering until I could reach my brother’s level. But what about you! What about you! "

Wu Xingzhen took a deep breath, "You haven't appointed a crown prince yet, not because I'm not good enough, but because I, as the legitimate prince!" He pointed to his chest, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Emperor Wu had a complicated expression, as if he had regret, grief, and bitterness...

Wu Xingzhen did not feel happy at all. He only felt a trace of sadness in his heart, which made him twitch in pain.

He continued, "You would rather abdicate to Wu Yaxin, a concubine's daughter, than make me the crown prince, just because I am just an ordinary person. Ridiculous! Absurd!"

When these words were spoken, not only everyone was shocked, even Wu Yaxin herself was surprised.

Wu Qingshuang turned back in disbelief, "What?"

There was shock in Emperor Wu's eyes. He trembled and said, "You...when did you know..."

Wu Xingzhen laughed loudly, "You even drafted the imperial edict. Now you are going against your usual behavior and inviting her back from afar. You are afraid that something might happen to you, so you want her to come back and take over your throne."

"pity......"

Wu Xingzhen didn't say anything else, but a faint halo appeared on his body.

"This...is this...spiritual power?"

Not to mention the Wu father and daughter, even everyone else looked at Wu Xingzhen in shock.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Wu Xingzhen's emotions returned to calm. The knife in his hand fell and tapped the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Father, please abdicate. You are still the Supreme Emperor respected by all. I will let you live out your days in peace and witness the prosperity I have created!"

The middle-aged man behind him heard this and his face changed. He couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed. As long as the Emperor Wu is alive, your throne will be unstable. It will do more harm than good to the country!"

Emperor Wu was trembling all over. "You...you...you know what you are doing! Cough cough cough——"

The two spoke almost at the same time. Wu Xingzhen ignored the man behind him and only looked at Emperor Wu, his eyes as deep as a quagmire. "What are you asking?"

Emperor Wu was so angry that he was shaking all over. "You know what I am talking about!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Wu Xingzhen's eyes, but it was quickly broken by the Emperor Wu's next words.

"Who allowed you to practice privately? Do you know... do you know that people without natural talent cannot be forced to do so? You... you are courting death!"

Wu Yaxin ordered Xiao Tao to stay and stop Murong Yan and others, and she took advantage of Murong Yan's distraction to jump onto the platform and land between the two of them.

Wu Yaxin looked calm, "Second brother, you must have misunderstood me. From the moment I went up the mountain, I was already a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could I inherit the throne of the Wu Kingdom? I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding."

Wu Xingzhen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, stopped the two people behind him, "Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding, it's you who still don't understand the reality.

You, Wu Yaxin, have been expelled from the mountain since the moment you left. Not expelling you in person is already giving you enough respect."

"Impossible." Wu Yaxin took a step back unconsciously, her fingertips trembling slightly, "I am the most beloved disciple of Grandfather and Master, how could I be expelled from the sect?"

"Heh." Wu Xingzhen's lips curled up into a cruel smile, "Didn't expect it? Even the proud daughter of heaven will be thrown into the mud one day."

"You don't know yet, right? Your physique has been different from that of an ordinary person since you were a child. Now the two forces in your body are barely maintaining a balance. You can no longer continue to practice. Every improvement in your cultivation is a step towards death. There is no need for you to stay in the Tianjian Sect any longer."

"No...this is impossible!"

"Xiao Tao!"

Xiaotao immediately lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Wu Yaxin's face grew paler and paler. At this point, was there anything she didn't understand?

Her face was pale, she smiled bleakly, and turned to look at Emperor Wu, "Father, is what he said true? Are you really going to pass on the throne to me?"

Emperor Wu opened his mouth, but could not say anything. His body was shaking even more, almost in convulsion.

Wu Yaxin closed her eyes, and then she seemed to remember something, and looked at Murong Yan in the audience with cold eyes, "You knew it a long time ago, right? You stopped me on purpose... No, you knew this would happen today, so you came here on purpose to take part."
