Chapter 9 Snowy Night

Large flakes of snow floated in the gray sky, and there was nothing else in the vast wilderness except a few lonely dead trees. On the official road, a small caravan composed of seven or eight people hurried westward in the howling northwest wind.

The leader was a bearded old man wearing a gray cotton jacket. He knew very well that if the snow fell to the ground and melted and then turned into ice, the ground would become slippery and muddy, it would be difficult to travel. There were still several miles to Tongguan here. If he speeded up now, he might be able to arrive before the city gate was closed, otherwise he would have to sleep in the open sky and snow.

The old man was about to urge his companions to go faster, but suddenly stopped. As the sound of horse hooves went from far to near, he clearly felt the earth shaking slightly. The old man waved his hand to let the team stop, temporarily retreated into the mud on the side of the road, turned around and looked at the road behind them with some confusion.

After a while, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the swaying wind and snow, followed by two, three, and then countless ghostly knights rushed out of the wind and snow all over the sky.

The soldiers were covered in black armor, and even the horses they were riding were wearing iron armor on their chests and faces.

Each knight had a black cloth on his face, only his eyes were exposed, and he could not see his appearance, but the murderous aura they emitted on his body made the people on the roadside stand up and they couldn't help but shivering.

A knight rushed past them, completely blinding to these business trips, as if they did not exist at all.

These people had excellent riding skills. A long team of cavalrymen were in a neat shape in the galloping horses. The two horses walking side by side were only half a horse's head, and even the sound of horse hooves treading on the ground was neat and straight.

Just as the old man was stunned, a horse with black and white hooves suddenly flew past him. The knight on the horse turned out to be a handsome girl under twenty years old. She was wearing only a silver light armor, revealing the green duck down jacket below. A big red silk cloak was blown by the wind behind her and was like a sail. In this world composed of black and white, it looked particularly eye-catching.

When the girl passed by the caravan, she suddenly turned her head and smiled slightly at them, as if a delicate peony was blooming completely in the snow and ice. Everyone felt a flash of eyes, and their minds suddenly became blank, leaving only those clear eyes as water and red lips as red as blood.

After a long time, the old man in the team came to his senses and rubbed his eyes. Only then did he realize that the team of black-armored cavalry that seemed to have escaped from the underworld had long disappeared from the wind and snow.

Could it be that I was dreaming in the daytime?

However, there were still deep horse hoof marks on the snow. The old man looked at his companion next to him and found that everyone was confused. So he shook his head helplessly and continued to lead the caravan forward. However, the beautiful face of the woman in the red robe was always lingering in his mind.

This team of cavalry was Shangguan Hong's Black Panther Cavalry. After they set out from Ruzhou, they traveled day and night. Each of them changed their cavalry, traveling a hundred miles a day, and it took only a few days to reach Tongguan. Although Ye Qingping's riding skills were a little bad, she climbed down the horse, named Yun Zhongmo, and was a thousand-mile horse stolen from Qin Zhong, so she was not behind at all.

This was also the first time she had seen this mysterious cavalry trained by Shangguan Hong. Although there were only 200 Black Panther Cavalry dispatched this time, they were all very skilled in martial arts and skilled in bows and horses. I don’t know how many times stronger than those elite soldiers who Ye Qingping boasted about.

Ye Qingping saw it and felt very jealous in her heart. She secretly vowed that one day she would create such an elite soldier.

The leader of the Black Panther Cavalry was a woman in her thirties, carrying a seven-foot-long snake-shaped sword on her back, and a strong yin energy emitted from her body, which made people feel very uncomfortable. She was also the only person in the entire team to talk to Shangguan Hong, and all the orders were issued by her.

Ye Qingping only knew that Shangguan Hong called this person Li Yin, but she didn't know if it was his real name. Qingping had nothing to say to her several times, but the woman liked to ignore her and glanced at the broken knife on Qingping's back with malicious intentions.

Ye Qingping was disappointed and furious, but his face was still as smiling as usual, and he couldn't tell any displeasure. She had followed Shangguan Hong to inquire about the origin of this woman, but Shangguan Hong was talking about him, and he didn't say a word at all.

Ye Qingping had no choice but to turn to ask for advice on how to govern the army. This time, Shangguan Hong answered questions and gained a lot.

After reaching Chang'an, Tongguan Hong was only a hundred miles away. When she arrived in the morning and evening, Shangguan Hong did not dare to lead her troops into the city. She set up camp outside the city for a night of rest. Early the next morning, she took ten people into the city to meet the emperor.

Ye Qingping was unable to enter the city because she had not received the will of the Face Saint, so she had to live outside the city with the two hundred black panthers. She was unwilling to stay with these wood that she could not even speak, so she changed her dress and disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman, led a group of bad horses, found an excuse to leave the barracks, and headed towards Qiuye Mountain in the south of the city.

After this year's ups and downs, Ye Qingping's vision and knowledge have long been different from before. He knows that the lame master is really capable of being able to heaven, far from being comparable to ordinary masters like Lao Xu. He thought to himself: I will be in danger this time. If the lame man helps, even if the military advice fails, it will not be impossible to use his magical skills to protect me from leaving Chang'an.

Thinking of this, she simply followed her memory and searched all the way to the cave where the fighting place was.

When Ye Qingping finally found the cave, she found that the entrance of the cave had been blocked by collapsed rocks and could not be entered. The courtyard where she and Su Ru lived was empty. The ground in the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of rotten fallen leaves, and the room was covered with spider webs and dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Ye Qingping walked to the crooked tree, reached out and gently stroked the dry bark, and found that a deep groove on the thick horizontal branch was still eye-catching, which was where she tied the rope when she practiced the sword technique of the poisonous woman.

Thinking of the scene when he was hanging on the tree and spinning like a top, Ye Qingping smiled unconsciously, but she felt a sense of unreasonable regret in her heart.

Ye Qingping still didn't give up and went to the surrounding villages to search again. Until the afternoon of the search, the sun was far west, but there was no clue at all. She had no choice but to embark on the way home.

Although Chang'an City has recovered as before since the Anshi Rebellion, the suburbs have been dilapidated, the fields are deserted, and weeds are overgrown, and there is no longer the prosperity of the Kaiyuan prosperous era.

The dead trees on the ancient road were crows, and there was a bleakness. Ye Qingping was in a bad mood and walked slowly with her horse aimlessly. She lost her direction without knowing where she was walking. She was walking when she suddenly smelled a scent of wine. Ye Qingping screamed twice in her stomach. Then she remembered that she had missed the time she had searched all the way today. She had not had lunch yet, so she led the horse to the small building that smelled not far away.

This is a two-story wooden building, built in a very simple and elegant manner. There is a plaque on the door, with three big words "Drunk Furong" written on it.

In fact, this restaurant is famous in Chang'an. Its name is taken from Bai Juyi's poems during the Zhenyuan period. Wu Wa dances with drunken lotus, which is a place where literati and poets gather together to discuss literature and theory.

Ye Qingping couldn't know a lot of words, but she didn't know these things. If she hadn't had a sharp nose and smelled the wine, she wouldn't even tell the difference between the brothel and the restaurant by just the name of the store, let alone those poems.

As soon as she walked into the yard, the waiter came out to greet her. Suddenly she saw a woman dressed in a peasant woman walking in. She was stunned for a moment and forgot to greet her.

Ye Qingping snorted, handed the horse to him, went straight to the second floor, and found a seat by the window to sit down.

She robbed tens of thousands of taels of silver along the way from Caozhou to Ruzhou. Now she is a huge wealthy person. Seeing that the waiter in the shop is so arrogant, she simply took out a piece of silver from her arms and threw it on the table, and ordered a few of the most expensive dishes.

The waiter saw Yinzi and couldn't close his mouth. He quickly went down to prepare, leaving Ye Qingping alone upstairs looking out the window in confusion.

Only then did she realize that the scenery here is very beautiful. Outside the window, the plain is covered with snow, and a small river is winding by in the vast area. An old man wearing a hat sits under the withered willows on the shore and fishes. Smoke from the scattered huts rises, setting off the hazy autumn leaves mountain in the distance, which is a unique scenery.

But Ye Qingping didn't find her master Li Huan, and she was depressed and had no intention of watching the scenery. She was thinking about how she would get out of the situation if the mutiny failed.

At this moment, four young men walked upstairs. The leader was as beautiful as jade, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing royal blue snow hats and a long robe with blue lotus silk and satin. He was handsome and full of style. He was obviously the leader of these people.

They suddenly saw a village girl sitting in the best seat by the window looking out the window in a daze. They couldn't help but be surprised and sat down at the table next to Ye Qingping with a look of surprise.

As soon as the people got into the seat, the hotel owner trotted up from downstairs, smiling and said to the young master sitting in the first place: Why did Mr. Zhang come to the shop today?The seven-character quatrain that the young master wrote on the wall of the shop last time is really a quatrain of the world. Scholars in Chang'an City came to the shop just to see the young master's ink. Today, I specially prepared the Eight Immortals who have been drunk for twenty years. If the young master has any quatrain, please reward me...

I know, go and prepare quickly, just follow the previous dishes.

Mr. Zhang waved his hand impatiently and asked him to go down, then turned around and talked to his companion, unwilling to pay attention to him anymore.

The companion said: Brother Zhang is unparalleled in Chang'an City. My two friends have heard of you for a long time that you have the best of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Today I will come to see the style. I would like to ask Brother Zhang to give me advice.

Unexpectedly, the young master Zhang sighed and said: Now that the country is fragmented, thieves are rampant, and the people are living in poverty, I can’t report to the country and save the people, so what’s the use?...

Another scholar praised: The young master is very impressed by the orders of the world, but now the world is getting worse, people's hearts are not as good as ever, and morality is declining. People have long forgotten the saints for a little profit. It's a pity, a pity... While drinking and eating, the four of them talked about strategies for governing the country and ensuring national security. They quoted and talked loudly. When they were on the rise, they sometimes lamented with their hands and long chests, and suddenly looked up at the sky and made bold statements. They all were so arrogant that they only regretted that they had no chance to enter the cabinet and worship the minister to govern the country.

Ye Qingping listened to their empty talk and swearing about the saints' teachings, and was upset. She watched the hot and cold dishes on the adjacent table one after another, and there was nothing else in front of her except a pot of wine. She became more and more hungry in her belly. She thought to herself: Could it be that this restaurant is looking at people with a dog-eyed look at people and only knows how to please those rich young men, but come to bully me?

This is wrongly blamed by the store. The dishes she ordered are all the signatures here, and the production process is extremely complicated. Just talking about the soup fish, you must choose fresh fish caught from the river. It is made after more than a dozen methods, and it will take at least half an hour. The wine and dishes on the adjacent table are ordered, so it is naturally faster.

Ye Qingping didn't know these reasons, and she was angry. She slapped the table and got angry. She called the waiter to scold her and said: You little girl came first, but why did you serve them first? It was obviously bullying me from a farmer family. I just didn't eat this food anymore.

After saying that, he threw down the wine money and walked downstairs angrily.

She had just taken a few steps, but heard someone laughing behind her back: Look, this woman has a natural beauty with moon eyebrows and starry eyes. If she was born in an official family, she would have been a well-educated, well-behaved and dignified lady. It’s a pity that she was born in a farmer, so crude and rude. The ancients said: People are virtuous and unworthy, like rats, where they are in their own hands. The difference between hamsters and toilets is indeed not false, but when did this drunken lotus become a place for village women to eat?

Although Ye Qingping couldn't understand any hamster and toilet rat, she knew that he was laughing at her. She suddenly turned around and found that the unparalleled Master Zhang was talking about behind her.

At this time, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and sneered: You people can’t even figure out why the world is in chaos, but they talk about the way to govern the world here, which is really a big laugh.Look at the huts outside the window, the people living inside are no different from you. They worked hard all their lives to provide you with food and clothing, but they were frozen and hungry. If these people really couldn't survive, they would naturally snatch back what they originally belonged to.Even that saint who has been hungry for three days is probably no different from the rioters you mentioned.

Ye Qingping's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest. A scholar stood up and said angrily: It's such a nonsense!If there were no saints’ teachings, people in the world were still eating raw meat and drinking blood, so how could they wear clothes and speak?If everyone read the book of the saint, how could these rioters and thieves be there?... Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by his companion next to him and advised: Brother Li, why are you arguing with a peasant woman?She doesn't understand the way of a saint, so why don't you play the piano against a cow?

The man was still waiting to talk about it, but when he saw Ye Qingping's eyes showing fierce light, he felt a sudden heart, and he didn't dare to say more. It was not until she turned around and left that she sat down with a humming butt.

In fact, according to Ye Qingping's temper, if this happened in Ruzhou, she would have cut off several scholars. However, she had important things to come to Chang'an this time and did not dare to cause trouble. She had to forcefully suppress her anger, leave Zui Furong, identify the direction, and head towards the east of the city.

Of course, those scholars didn't know that they had just turned around in front of the gate of hell and continued to drink and talk. Mr. Zhang looked at Ye Qingping's back as he walked away, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and his face turned pale.

Ye Qingping found a farmer to buy some food to fill her stomach, and then went eastward until 10:00 p.m. to a wealthy family in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City. This was the meeting place she and Shangguan Hong had agreed.

The guards at the door were extremely tight. Ye Qingping spoke with the code words, and someone took her portrait carefully before letting her in. He took her through layers of yards and came to the back garden.

The secret room for discussion was built under the pond in the middle of the garden, but the entrance was opened behind a rockery. It was arranged ingeniously. If it were not for someone's leadership, it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover it.

There were eight people in the room, including Shangguan Hong and Li Yin. At this time, Shangguan Hong was sitting and talking to a red-faced man with three long beards, but the chair on the head was empty.

Ye Qingping was about to step forward when she suddenly found that the middle-aged scholar behind the blushing man was blinking at her. When she looked at her intently, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it. It turned out that the man was actually Lao Xu in the arena.

At this time, he was dressed in a scribe, wearing a square scarf, a green robe, and a jade Ruyi in his hand to play with it casually, and there was no sign of old and weak appearance.

Ye Qingping knew that this place was not a place to recognize each other, so she had to hold back her questions, smiled at him, and said hello, and then walked straight to Shangguan Hong to stand behind him.

Soon the door of the secret room opened again, and four people entered one after another. The leader was a young man in gorgeous clothes, with a melon-shaped face, big eyes and a nose, and very soft. However, there was a hint of arrogance and majesty of looking down at all living beings in his eyebrows and eyes, which made people dare not look at him.

Behind him was a man and two women. The man was a Taoist priest in his fifties, but a pair of long white eyebrows almost drooped from the corners of his eyes, and his temple was raised high. It was obvious that his internal strength had reached the peak of the state from the inside to the outside.

Both women were around thirty and had a beautiful appearance.

The woman in a yellow robe is full of fairy style and is out of the world, as if a fairy who is not as good as the world's fireworks has floated down to earth.

Another woman in black robe had a gloomy face. Although she was beautiful, she was far away from her, which was somewhat similar to Li Yin.

Ye Qingping could see at a glance that the young master in the lead was dressed as a man, and she couldn't help but feel moved. Seeing her in such a pomp, she had already guessed a rough idea.

Sure enough, when Shangguan Hong and others saw her, they stood up and saluted, calling her Princess.

This woman is the initiator of this mutiny, Li Hui, Princess Pingning.

Due to the tight time, she got straight to the topic as soon as she came up. When she talked about the situation in Chang'an City, she took out the hand-drawn map inside and outside the palace from her arms and explained in detail.

Ye Qingping only realized that they were in a bad situation at this time. The imperial guards in Chang'an City had been replaced by Cai Zhong to Yulin Guard. The general was his godson Yu Fang. I heard that this man had the courage to be inappropriate.

The President Qianniu Guard who guarded the palace was Cai Zhong himself, and the key to the palace gate was also on him.

Although the princess privately gathered many middle and lower-level officers, the hasty mutiny was extremely risky.

According to Princess Pingning's plan, Shangguan Hong and others dealt with the Yulin Guard outside the palace. She personally led the masters to surround Cai Zhong, snatch the keys of the palace gate and open the palace gate. Once the outside of the palace seized military power, it immediately attacked the palace and supported the prince to ascend the throne.

Listening to her detailed explanation, everyone was silent, and quickly thought about how likely this move would be to win.

After a while, Shangguan Hong suddenly said: Yu Fang is brave but not wise, it is not a problem. However, Cai Zhong himself is very scheming and calculating, and he is known as the number one master of the Forbidden Palace. It may not be easy to kill him.

Princess Pingning nodded and pointed to the three people behind her and introduced: This is Senior He Yunsheng, the leader of the Diancang Sect. This girl in yellow robe is Liu Ruyan, the first disciple of Senior Li of the Sword Saint of Zizai Tian Pavilion, and Miss Chen Keer, the eldest elder of Chen Yue Sect. There are three of them, the top masters, who kill Cai Zhongru, here to slaughter pigs and dogs, but another person needs to be lured out.

Shangguan Hong said: I am unparalleled martial arts masters and resourceful, and I am deeply frightened by Cai Zhong, so I can definitely take this responsibility.

Ye Qingping only felt a dull sound in her mind, and then she realized that she had been betrayed. However, she had to shoot an arrow on the string at this time, so she had to bow her head to take the order.

The next step was to discuss various details. The people present were all cunning and scheming people. They repeatedly pondered and calculated the details one by one until dawn. The princess had to return to the palace immediately, and then she said goodbye to part ways.

Ye Qingping disguised herself as a palace maid and followed the princess into the palace, preparing to assassinate Cai Zhong. Shangguan Hong picked out seven women from her own soldiers and went into the palace to obey the orders.

Ye Qingping looked at Lao Xu again before leaving. He wanted to ask him about his master's whereabouts, but then he thought: Well, the lame man finally got free. It was very dangerous for me to go there, and it would be too unrighteous to drag him into the water.If a hero does things one by one, I don’t believe that the broken knife in my hand can’t kill Cai Zhong.

Thinking of this, she bit her teeth and made up her heart. She never looked back and turned around and left with the princess.

Seeing that she was depressed and worried, Liu Ruyan walked over and said with a smile: If General Zhan was young, he could kill that eunuch, which was a great achievement, and his future was limitless.

Ye Qingping shook her head and said: I heard that the eunuch is very skilled in martial arts. My three-legged kung fu is good to fool ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. If you really meet a master, I may be in danger. If Sister Liu sees me, I have a few wishes... Liu Ruyan didn't expect that she would leave her last words and said with a smile: Don't talk nonsense, you are just going to lead him over, and you are not really asking you to fight to the death. I wonder if you have any weapons? If you don't dislike me, I have a sword called Zhanyun, which is extremely sharp and will be given to the general to kill the thief.

As he said that, he handed over a long sword.

Ye Qingping looked closely and saw that the sword was six feet long and simple in style. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, it suddenly became cold. She pulled out a hair from her head, put it on the sword tip and blew it gently. The hair was broken into two sections. This was indeed a sharp sword that blew the hair and broke the hair.

Ye Qingping got the sword and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Her elder sister screamed intimately, making Liu Ruyan laugh continuously.

How could she let go of such a good opportunity? She asked her about the news about Zizai Tian Pavilion and Liu Jianmen, and followed the princess into the palace.

It was late at night, and the north wind mixed with snowflakes poured into the house unscrupulously through the open wooden door. Princess Pingning Li Hui stood quietly at the door, staring at the palace gate of Guangning Palace with her eyes straight at the Guangning Palace. Without saying a word, her face was still as calm as usual, and she could not see any change, but her heart was as anxious as if she was on fire.

Your Highness, General Zhan has not come back yet, and he may have been killed by the castrated dog. Why don’t we kill him?…A palace maid standing behind her asked.

Princess Pingning shook her head and said calmly: The person recommended by Shangguan Hong is not so easy to die, don’t worry, wait any longer.

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qingping stumbled into the door, with long hair scattered behind his head, his face covered in blood. The black clothes on his body had already turned into strips of cloth, and even the key points of his body could not be covered. There were several crisscrossing scars on the large snow-white skin, which looked extremely embarrassed.

As soon as Qingping entered the yard, she immediately rolled on the spot, hid in the dark shadow beside the yard wall, leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, and couldn't say a word.

There was a muffled sound when she was standing. The snow was scattered everywhere, and a deep gully was left on the snow, as if it was cut out by a steel knife. If she had dodged a little slowly just now, she would have lost her life.

Resolve the slaughter?Is there really such magical power in this world?

The expression on the face of He Yunsheng, the leader of Diancang, suddenly became ashen. He had heard that this magic sword technique was completely activated by internal force, invisible and intangible. The transfer and reception were all based on internal force, and it was impossible to resist it.

I heard a sharp voice saying: Your Highness, you asked me to come here late at night. I wonder what is important?

Before he finished speaking, an old man with a hunched back walked out of the wind and snow. It was Cai Zhong.

Although Princess Pingning did not understand martial arts, she looked at the pale faces of the three masters under her, and guessed that she might win less and lose more today. However, she has been strong since she was a child. The more she met a strong enemy, the more she was fighting spirit. She was not timid in the face of this eunuch who had the ability to cover the sky with one hand in the court, and cursed angrily: You traitor controlled the government affairs, deceived your father, killed loyal ministers, disrupted the court's principles, and harmed the world, causing the thousands of miles of the Tang Dynasty to become chaotic.Today I will reorganize the court for my father, seek justice for those loyal and virtuous people who have been killed by you.Come and take this dog slave down.

Before she could finish her words, Liu, Chen and He had already completed the shape of a finished character and surrounded Cai Zhong in the middle. However, the three of them stood in the wind and snow like stone sculptures, full of vigilance, but none of them took the lead.

Cai Zhong turned a blind eye to the three people surrounding him, but stared at Princess Pingning and sneered: Pingning, you transferred Shangguan Hong into Chang'an as a foreign aid to seize the military power of the Imperial Guard. He also mobilized experts in the palace to surround me and tried to lead troops to attack the palace and ensure that the prince ascends the throne. Very good, very good!But you are too anxious. Do you think that just with Shangguan Hong's two hundred light cavalry can do it?Just these three cowards can kill me?But that's good, you mice can fall into the trap, and it saves me the effort to search everywhere...

He was halfway through his words, but suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Qingping hiding in the corner, staring at the broken knife that was slowly unsheathed, and said viciously: What ah!Even the Demon Sword was born. It turned out that you were the immortal disciple. He used this sword to kill my eleven generals of the Tang Dynasty and entered the army, but the three thousand dragon and tiger guards could not stop them.God has eyes, and now he can finally get avenge for this arrow.

Cai Zhong suddenly laughed to the sky: Just a few clowns dare to come out to show off their strength. Who else can do anything to me except the sword saint Li Mohe in this world?

He took a deep breath, his internal force gathered, and suddenly he stepped heavily on the ground.

With a bang, a ripples spread around him as the center. Snow flew up wherever the ripples passed. In a blink of an eye, a flat ground cleared within three feet of his body. Dozens of steel nails about inches long were scattered on the ground, and there were faint blue light on the tips of the nails, which were obviously highly poisonous.

Who can this kind of bad trick hurt?

Cai Zhong suddenly stood up with his left palm and slapped out his right palm, and actually attacked Princess Pingning, who was the farthest away from him.

He Yunsheng didn't expect that he would dare to take action seven or eight feet away. In shock, he quickly flashed his body, grabbed the princess with both palms, and hurriedly urged his internal force to take over his palm that was breaking through the rock.

When Cai Zhong came to him, his right palm suddenly shrank, and his left palm, which had been crossing his chest, suddenly came out from under his right arm. It turned out that his palm, which was as powerful as a rainbow, was actually a virtual move, and all the internal force was concentrated on his left palm and attacked him like a storm.

The palms intersected and it was about to part with a touch, but there was no sound. He Yunsheng groaned, and the purple air on his face was strong. He took three steps in a row to stabilize his body, but he saw a pair of footprints half an inch deep left on the bluestone road under his feet.

Cai Zhong did not expect that his opponent could take over his full palm. He whispered, raised his hand and slashed it back. A dose of the ox-removing knife forced Chen Ke'er to retreat from the sneak attack. At the same time, he leaned over and avoided the sword that Liu Ruyan slashed in the sky. He was about to counterattack, but suddenly heard the storm behind him. He rushed forward and dodged the broken knife that slashed towards his calves. He was about to take action to settle the score with the person who attacked, but found that Liu, Chen and He had attacked together and would not give him a chance to break each one.

In the wind and snow, several figures came back and forth, their bodies changed. When they were fighting, they could no longer tell each other. They could only see three yellow, black and blue lights surrounding a gray shadow hovering and flying, floating around, killing them hard to distinguish.

Everyone knew that this was a fight that would never stop, so they would never show mercy to attack. They were all close-knit fights, which were extremely dangerous.

Although Cai Zhong had excellent martial arts skills, the other three had a very tacit understanding of cooperation. He Yunsheng blocked most of his attacks from the front, while the other two women only attacked but not defended, and the power of the sword suddenly doubled.

The Chen Ke'er's sword was in a different direction, and his sword technique was as vague as a weak one, but his moves were as fast as a meteor, which was strange and unpredictable, and he stabbed his eyes and other weak protections.

However, Liu Ruyan's sword technique was wide open and wide. The seven-foot long sword in her hand was sucking and exhaling, and the sword energy was scattered. In each move, there was a faint artistic conception that touched the mighty aura between heaven and earth. It was obviously well-known to the true teaching of the sword saint Li Moxi.

The most hateful one was the girl standing next to watch the battle. Although her martial arts skills were a little poor, her eyesight was extremely tricky. Whenever Cai Zhong found the other party's flaws and was about to kill him, she would destroy it. However, the magic knife in her hand was invincible, and even Cai Zhong dared to block it directly with both hands. He was so angry that he had smoke from his orifices but had no choice.

All four of them fought quickly. In less than a stick of incense, they had fought nearly a hundred moves. Cai Zhong's pair of fleshy palms flew up and down, but he had the upper hand against four. However, he could not break the seamless offensive and defensive chain of three people for a while.

When the few people were fighting fiercely, they suddenly heard a chaotic outside the palace, shouting and killing sounds, accompanied by horse neighing.

Cai Zhong's expression changed drastically. This time, in order to capture Princess Pingning's forces, he specially mobilized a large number of experts to assist Yu Fang in clearing out the attack. Everything was ready, and he just waited for Shangguan Hong and others to fall into the trap after a mutiny. At this time, Yu Fang should have been searching for those traitors and rebels in the city.

So where did the shouting of killing that is getting closer and closer to the palace come from?

Why didn't there be any movement before this?

Did something go wrong?

Cai Zhong was playing a drum in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition, knowing that he could not drag on it anymore and he had to fight quickly. As the saying goes, capturing the king first. Once the thief is killed or captured Princess Pingning, no matter how happy the others are, it is not worth worrying about the fact that there is no leader among the dragons.

Thinking of this, he roared loudly, his left and right hands came out, and at the same time used the Niu Sword Technique to force the two girls Chen and Liu to retreat, and then attacked He Yunsheng with both palms.

Seeing Cai Zhong coming in a fierce manner, He Yunsheng was unwilling to fight him head-on, but Ping Ning was behind him. In order to protect His Royal Highness the Princess, he had to bite the bullet and face him.

As soon as the two pairs of flesh palms intersected, they suddenly found that Cai Zhong's internal strength was attacking like a rush of mountains and seas. He Yunsheng secretly called out the bad thing and quickly urged his internal strength to fight against each other, hoping that he could last for a while and three moments so that his companions had the opportunity to attack.

Seeing that they were standing in the snow, the heat was rising from the palms to competing for internal strength, how could they miss this opportunity? Each of them used long swords to stab Cai Zhong's left rib and lower abdomen.

Cai Zhong saw the sword stabbing, but he didn't dodge, but suddenly he vomited internal force.

He Yunsheng didn't expect that he had enough energy to face the overbearing internal force, and could no longer resist it. His eyes turned black, his throat became sweet, and he opened his mouth and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground, feeling unconscious.

At the same time, Chen Ke'er's long sword shining with blue light and was already pierced under Cai Zhong's ribs. However, the long sword pierced his coat and could not penetrate deeper. It turned out that he was wearing a set of soft golden silk armor.

Cai Zhong sneered, his right hand poked out like lightning, grabbed Chen Keer's chest and raised it, holding it hard and pulling it. In the hand like iron pliers, Chen Keer's soft and plump right breast was squeezed to pieces like tofu, and then it was torn apart from his chest. The blood mixed with yellow oil gushed out of the wound, dyeing his coat red in an instant.

Chen Ke'er only felt an unbearable pain coming from her chest, and the pain made the stars in front of her, and she was confused, and she let out a shrill scream, and she staggered and took a step back.

Cai Zhong succeeded and did not give her a chance to counterattack. He jumped over and followed up, raised his right hand, stuck her throat, and retracted it with force. His five fingers were inserted into her neck like five daggers, and he twisted and folded her throat and trachea and cut her throat and trachea together.

In the severe pain, Chen Keer's eyes turned pale, her body spasmed, and she could no longer hold on to the weapon in her hand. The long sword fell to the ground with a clang, and a large amount of blood with Mo Zi surged out of her seven orifices like a spring water.

Seeing that two companions were seriously injured, Liu Ruyan and Ye Qingping both had their eyes red.

Liu Ruyan shouted loudly and poured all her internal energy into the long sword. The purple sword energy suddenly slashed out, and finally broke through the soft armor on Cai Zhong's body and stabbed into his lower abdomen.

Ye Qingping slashed at his right leg and slashed the air, but the sharp blade still cut a large hole in his calf with a deep bone.

Cai Zhong tried his best to get injured in order to kill these difficult opponents on the spot. Therefore, although he suffered continuous injuries to his lower abdomen and calves, he did not retreat at all. He kicked Ye Qingping's chest with his legs. At the same time, his left hand came out of nowhere and punched Liu Ruyan's lower abdomen.

Ye Qingping missed a blow and retreated quickly. Unfortunately, Cai Zhong made a move too fast, so he still pointed his toes on her left chest.

Qingping felt as if her chest was hit by a sledgehammer, and the heart protection mirror made of stainless steel was also concave. Her body flew backwards like a broken kite, and a large mouthful of blood was sprayed out in the air.

She rolled to the distance, struggling to get up and prepare for another fight, but suddenly her chest became stuffy, and the internal force in her body ran around like a wild horse that was running away. She couldn't breathe, her legs fell to the ground, her limbs trembled, and she could no longer get up.

Liu Ruyan watched the fist that was rushing towards her lower abdomen, but could only smile bitterly.

She knew that if she dodged at this time, although she could temporarily save her life, the sword that had finally broken through the opponent's soft armor would be wasted. After that, she could not beat the old eunuch by herself. She bit her silver teeth and urged her internal force to continuously attack the opponent's body, destroying his internal organs to the greatest extent. She turned a blind eye to the fatal punch. Park chi sounded softly, and the punch that opened the stone and cracked the stone firmly hit her soft belly. The internal force was everywhere, shattering her internal organs.

Liu Ruyan's stomach collapsed instantly like a shrunk pocket, and then her entire fist broke into her body and completely disappeared into her body.

Liu Ruyan felt a heart-wrenching pain spread rapidly from the depths of her lower abdomen to her whole body, and her two eyeballs almost jumped out of her eye sockets.

Blood spurted out from her mouth and nose, and there were many broken internal organs mixed in it. Liu Ruyan knew that she would die, so she simply put her heart on her mind, gritted her teeth and endured the colic in her stomach, used all her strength to shake the sword, pulled it out of Cai Zhong's abdomen, and retreated. She took two steps in a row before stopping. Cai Zhong did not pursue her, but just looked at her with a sneer.

Liu Ruyan's eyes began to become blurred. When she recalled what she had experienced in her life, she couldn't help but sigh, and lowered her head helplessly, but was shocked to find that a five or six-foot-long pink intestine was actually pumped out of the blood hole that was as big as a bowl in her stomach. The other end of the intestine was grabbed in Cai Zhong's hand. Seeing that her intestines were taken out, Liu Ruyan let out an unwilling howl, raised her arm with difficulty, pointed at Cai Zhong, trying to say something, but she only made a few giggles from her throat and could not make any sound again. Her body swayed back and forth, and finally couldn't support it. She thrust her face up to the sky and fell on the snow, never moving again.

The wind was still blowing and the snow was still falling. Cai Zhong suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly. He won. Although he was bleeding and seriously injured, he was still the last winner. In the laughter, he raised his right hand up and raised Chen Ke'er's body high, causing her feet to leave the ground. Chen Ke'er had already fainted at this time. The body hanging in the air only twitched mechanically for a few times, and then completely relaxed. In a moment, two lines of yellow urine flowed down her barefoot and dripped on the snow, leaving small pits. Cai Zhong threw her out, slowly stepped over Liu Ruyan's body, and limped towards Princess Pingning.

Princess Pingning Li Hui looked at Cai Zhong who was walking over with her injured leg, and her face was no longer covered in blood. She thought that relying on the three masters and Zhan Wushuang, she was enough to get rid of the old eunuch who stepped into the coffin with one foot, so she used herself as bait to lure him out. But now all the three masters have been defeated and died. Zhan Wushuang also lay on the ground in pain and twitched. Although Cai Zhong was seriously injured, one of his legs was ruined, and the internal organs in his lower abdomen might have been messed up by the Ziwei sword energy, but he was still standing, able to walk and kill people. This is enough. She lost, lost to a eunuch, or to her conceit. Pingning reached out and gently pushed away the personal guards and Black Panther Cavalry blocking her, and said lightly: You all escape, don't let me die here for nothing.

After saying that, she walked silently to Cai Zhong, pulled out a dagger from her arms with her backhand, and placed it in front of her chest, trying to make her last fight before she died.

Cai Zhong stared into her eyes, but there was no fear or panic in her eyes. There was only a calmness and arrogance. He couldn't help but praise: I am worthy of being the descendants of Tian Khan. If you and I work together, what can't succeed in the world?At that time, we will eliminate the traitors and reorganize the mountains and rivers, and we will jointly manage state affairs and maintain the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years?Why bother to fight to the death?

Princess Pingning just shook her head and said coldly: "Doesn't work together, don't plan together, let's do it!"

Cai Zhong sighed, and was about to end her life with one palm, but suddenly heard someone singing in the distance: What is the heavy snow? Why does the bright moon meet me... The man sang the first sentence of the man was fashioning outside the palace, but by the last sentence, he had already passed through several floors of courtyards and reached the ridge of the main room of Guangning Palace.

A man in a white robe floated down from the room and stood in front of the princess.

This man is only in his forties, with a straight nose and gentle face. He has no belt on his head. His long scattered hair is flying casually in the wind. He falls from above and has a white dress, spotlessly clean.

It is strange that from the beginning of his appearance, the world became extremely quiet. The shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer outside the palace suddenly became illusory, and the whistling and wailing wind also became gentle and graceful, as if there were and there were.

The snowflakes were still falling, but when they reached his body, they changed their trajectory, turning into white butterflies and hovering around him, and finally disappeared out of thin air and turned into invisible.

When Cai Zhong saw this person, he felt as if he was ashamed. He smiled bitterly, hugged his hands with his hands, and raised it up as hard as if he was holding a mountain. As his arms slowly rotated, snowflakes continued to rotate in his arms, gradually condensing into a snowball.

When his arms and yin and yang were exchanged, he suddenly shouted loudly and pushed forward with his palms at the same time. The snowball suddenly exploded. Under the urging of his extremely powerful internal force, countless ice crystals shot towards the white-robed guest like a flying knife.

Cai Zhong did not expect this move to hurt him. He only had his full blow to stop him. After making the move, his body stormed out like lightning.

The man in white robe just shook his head, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed it forward slightly, and slashed it lightly. His movements were not fast, and he drew the sword and slashed out two extremely simple movements. It was clear and clear. This sword was not very fierce, as if he just waved his robe sleeve to shake off the dust on it. However, with this ordinary sword slashing out, the world suddenly turned black, the wind and clouds and thunder moved, the mountains and rivers changed color, and all things in the world lost their colors. At that moment, it stopped flowing. A person stood there with his mouth open like a wooden carving, and even the snowflakes flying all over the sky condensed in the air.

A blue light rose up from the sword and turned into a light curtain that was connected to the world and slashed out, dividing the vast and boundless world into two. After the light disappeared, everything returned to normal. With a loud bang, the courtyard wall of Guangning Palace more than 1 zhang high collapsed. Cai Zhong's clothes had already turned into ashes, and the soft golden armor also shattered into pieces and slid off from him, and some fragments had been embedded in his flesh.

Blood surged out of every pore of Cai Zhong's body. He rolled his blind eyes and raised his hand and pointed at the man in white robe with a trembling voice and said hatefully: Li Moxi, you actually broke the vow you made back then and broke out.Now that the magic sword and magic sword appear at the same time, the world will be in chaos and the lives of all living beings are all thanks to you.If you go against the will of heaven, sooner or later you will be hit by the thunder and the fire of heaven.I'm waiting for you in the underworld...hahaha!!

He laughed dryly for a few times and could no longer make any sound. With a light bang from inside his body, a blood mist suddenly burst out from Cai Zhong's body, and his body also shattered into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.

This eunuch who is full of divine magical skills and is arrogant, was instantly destroyed in front of the sword saint Li Mohe, which contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and he failed to block a single move. Since the divine sword Qingming was released, who could compete with him?

Ye Qingping suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at the magic sword in Li Moxi's hand that was still pointing forward in a divine sword. She saw that the long sword was blue all over, seven feet long and one inch wide, and was like two swimming fish connected to the head and tail. There was a faint light on it flowing like water patterns. As soon as the snowflakes approached the sword body, they turned into tiny ice crystals, flying and rotating around the sword body like star chips, which looked very beautiful.

Li Moxi laughed at the sky and said: "Danger the heavens?"If God is unfair and lets the treacherous villains control the court and harm the country and the people, what if I, Li Mohe, go against the heavens?

It seemed to be a response to him. In an instant, a thunder suddenly rose, and a huge lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the earth and making people's eyes shine.

Just when everyone was frightened by the strange phenomena in the world, the thunder suddenly stopped, the howling cold wind disappeared, the snow stopped, and all the strange phenomena disappeared without a trace.

Li Moxi walked to Liu Ruyan, looking at the bloody hole in her stomach and the intestines that were five or six feet long dragged out on the snow, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He squatted down and hugged Liu Ruyan in his arms, reached out to touch her chest, and found that there was still heat in his heart and was not dead. He quickly entered Liu Ruyan's body. After a while, Liu Ruyan finally snorted gently, spit out a mouthful of blood, and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the extremely familiar face, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Ruyan's face, and his dissipated eyes condensed again.

When Li Moxi saw Liu Ruyan wake up, he hurriedly said: Ruyan, I am here. If you have any wishes, I will go... Before I finished speaking, Liu Ruyan grabbed the sleeves. Liu Ruyan opened her eyes wide and spitted blood while using all her strength to say intermittently: Master... Ruyan... can't follow you anymore... My life... the happiest time is... in Zizai Tian Pavilion... Do you remember?...At that time, spring was blooming, and we were in the peach garden in the back mountain... The sound became smaller and smaller, and eventually turned into a deep sob.

The light gradually disappeared from the wide open eyes. Liu Ruyan opened her mouth hard, gasped for a few unwilling breaths, her chest fluctuated violently for several times, and finally her legs suddenly rolled, her head tilted to one side, her body fell limp, and she died of anger.

As soon as Liu Ruyan died, her whole body immediately became loose, and her feces and urine were discharged uncontrollably. As a wet trace quickly expanded on her skirt, a pungent stinking spread.

Li Moxi didn't care that the filth flowing from Liu Ruyan's legs touched his hands, but just hugged her tightly, silent.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingping struggled to climb over, pounced on Liu Ruyan's corpse and cried bitterly. While crying, she shook her body as soft as noodles, shouting Liu Ruyan's name, and choking and said: Sister Liu, if you hadn't given me that Zhanyun, you wouldn't have been hurt by the traitor.It was me who harmed you... Wake up Ah, my good sister... Seeing Ye Qingping crying so hard that she almost blew her back, Princess Pingning didn't know what to say, and was stunned for a moment.

Li Moxi frowned, suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Qingping's shoulder, and asked coldly: Is that magic knife yours?

So what?

As soon as Ye Qingping opened her mouth, she suddenly felt that the red iron bars on her right shoulder seemed to be burned by a red iron bar. Then a powerful internal force rushed into her body from Jianjing point, slowly wandering along her seven meridians and eight meridians, and repeated cycles. The chaotic internal forces in her body gathered in it like a river entering the sea, but the other party's internal force became stronger and stronger. Later, it became like the North Underworld Sea, endless and endless.

Ye Qingping felt her whole body was hot, as if she was soaked in a large bucket of hot water, and the air was blocked. She felt uncomfortable. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound. She wanted to move her body, but she couldn't even move her little finger. It was not until another stick of incense that she suddenly felt a soreness on the Danzhong point on her chest, her throat became sweet, and her mouth suddenly spit out a large mouth of black blood.

When Ping Ning saw Ye Qingping vomiting blood, she thought Li Moxi was going to kill her. She was shocked and shouted: Master, show mercy, she is my person...

Li Moxi shook her head slightly and explained: The grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with her, I am helping her heal her wounds.

As he said, after Ye Qingping vomited blood, her qi and meridians became much smoother, her face gradually became rosy, and her breathing became even and smooth.

Li Moxi then withdrew his hand and said lightly: Okay, your injury is no longer serious.It’s just that I can heal your internal injuries, but I cannot calm down the anger in your heart. This knife is really a very bad thing. It is harmful or useless to stay by your side. It’s better for me to deal with it.But my purple sword and this magic sword are incompatible with the water and fire. I cannot take this monster away today, so I can only store it in your place. I will send someone to get the sword in a month.

Ye Qingping was unhappy when she heard him teach him this lesson and thought to herself: Even the old man Wei Qing knew to ask me for it, but he treated the sword as his own pocket as soon as he came up. It was so shameless.

Although he was dissatisfied, he had just suffered. Ye Qingping didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the sword saint, so he had to bow to the ground and kowtow to thank him for his healing grace. He cursed and vowed to seal the magic sword well and not use it again until he sent someone to take it later.

Li Moxi nodded and turned to Pingning and said: All the masters Cai Zhong arranged in and out of the palace have been killed by me, and the rest are not worth worrying.At this time, Shangguan Hong and the others had already entered the palace and would not be here long. Since the overall situation has been decided, I will leave first.

After saying that, they picked up Liu Ruyan's intestines that had fallen all over the floor one by one, stuffed them back into her abdomen, took off her white robe, wrapped her body, and wanted to leave.

When Princess Pingning saw that Li Moxi was about to leave, she couldn't help but rush to say: Master, you finally came, why did you leave?

Hui'er, I made a great vow back then that I would never take a step in the sky Pavilion in this life. Now, for you and Ruyan, I have violated my vow. If I continue to stay in this world, wouldn't I be laughed at to death?You are smart and capable, and I am not worried about your safety. But I also want to advise you to leave room for everything and not kill them all, otherwise there will be a day when you regret it.In addition, it is better to use less in the future for the Chenyue Sect.

After Li Moxi finished speaking, he leaped onto the roof of Liu Ruyan's body, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

As soon as Li Moxi left, the invisible pressure in the yard disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Ping Ning was alive in death, and even said she was lucky. She walked to Cai Zhong, had someone cut off his head, and then turned to Ye Qingping and ordered: Although the chief evil has been punished, the accomplice is still there. The so-called cutting of the grass still needs to be eradicated. Concubine Chen usually has a chorus with Cai Zhong and does many evil things. This time she can't spare her. I will now ask my father to punish her sins, and ask the general Zhan to go to Princess Yuxin in the harem to remove the evil woman's daughter to correct the law.

After saying that, she left with more than ten personal guards, leaving the seven Black Panther Cavalry for Ye Qingping to dispatch.

Ye Qingping picked up the poison-coated blue sword that Chen Ke'er had dropped from the ground and wrapped it with a cloth and carried it behind her. She then stepped forward and carefully examined the bodies of Chen and He, and found that their bodies were cold and stiff, and had already died.

Chen Ke'er died particularly tragic. Her entire right breast was almost completely torn off her body. There was a layer of flesh connected to her skin near the shoulder hole, revealing a large piece of yellow oil and red muscles. It was terrible. Her neck was twisted from the middle. There were several large bloody holes on both sides of her neck. Her head was drooping softly and tilted to the left, her face was covered with blood. Two eyeballs with rolling eyes protruded out of her eye sockets, which was particularly ferocious.

With their martial arts, they thought they had dominated the country, but they wanted to come to this muddy water and sacrifice Qingqing's life here. It's a pity.

Ye Qingping sighed, closed Chen Ke'er's eyes gently, and was about to leave, but suddenly she found an iron plate under Chen Ke'er's chest. The iron plate was originally hidden close to Chen Ke'er's underwear. If it weren't for the tear being torn apart, it wouldn't have been exposed. Ye Qingping was curious in her heart, cut off the red rope that tied the iron plate and took it in her hand to take a closer look. She saw a blood-red crescent moon and four stars engraved on the black iron plate, and didn't know what it was.

Qingping didn't have time to think about it at this time, so she put the iron plate in her arms and ordered someone to strip Chen Ke'er naked and search carefully, but no other available items were found.

In the Ming Palace, Emperor Yizong Li Yan did not sleep until late at night last night, and he was sleeping soundly at this time.

He vaguely heard the noise outside and felt someone pushing him. He thought he was in a dream. He turned over and was about to continue sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt a chill on his forehead and woke up with a tremor.

The room was filled with palace lanterns as if it were during the day. A beautiful woman knelt beside him in a green gauze skirt that was barely covered with her body, looking panicked. She was holding a towel soaked in water in her hand and dripping the wrung out ice water on his forehead. It was his heart and soul, the Concubine Chen who was pampered with three thousand.

Although Li Yan usually favors her very much, she was suddenly awakened from her dream late at night, and she was very unhappy and asked: Why did you wake me up if you don’t sleep well with me?What's going on with the noise outside?

Concubine Chen knew the situation was extremely urgent and replied directly: Your Majesty, listen, there are shouts of killing outside. I was awakened just now and went out to see that the palace gate was blocked from outside, and the guards in the palace were also replaced. Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone will cause trouble!

Li Yan was shocked when he heard this and woke up suddenly. He hurriedly put on his clothes and yelled at the eunuch beside him: Humph, I am still alive, who dares to do anything wrong?Where is Cai Zhong?Pass it to me Cai Zhong.

But the eunuchs looked at each other, but no one moved, thinking that since the palace gate was blocked, how could we get out?

There was only a chaotic sound of footsteps, and the door was kicked open, and more than ten people entered one after another. The leader was Princess Pingning Li Hui. Behind her, Shangguan Hong, Li Yin and more than ten black-armored soldiers, each with murderous aura, with undry blood on her armor.

Seeing this posture, Li Yan's heart suddenly felt cold, but after all, Princess Pingning Li Hui was his most beloved daughter, so he asked with a trembling voice: Huier, what's going on?Where is Cai Zhong?

Li Hui snorted, threw Cai Zhong's head over, and said coldly: Cai Zhong is here, this castrated dog has been killed by me.

Seeing the bloody head, Li Han was so scared that he sat down on the ground. After a while, he stammered: Yes, this traitor deserves to be killed, you did it well.Now that the traitor has been eliminated, I will reward you well when I go to court tomorrow...

Ping Ning's face was as deep as water. Before he could finish his speech, he suddenly pointed at Concubine Chen beside him and said: This bastard and Cai Zhong colluded with him and harmed the loyal and kind-hearted. Please give her the order and give her a death.

Concubine Chen was so scared that she was scattered. She knelt on the ground and crawled to the feet of Emperor Yizong. She cried and begged: I will always be loyal to Your Majesty, and I will never be the same. Please give me my life because I gave birth to a prince and a princess for you...

Seeing that his beloved concubine cried with tears and tears, Li Yan felt like a knife and turned to Ping Ning and begged: Hui'er, the one I love most is you. Please spare her life for the sake of her father, even if she is demoted to a commoner.

Princess Pingning Li Hui looked coldly at the father in front of her who had not grown old because of her obsession with wine and sex. This man was once the master of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. He was the 95th Lord who could determine the life and death of countless people in just one sentence. The True Dragon Emperor, but now he put down his emperor's dignity for a woman and knelt at his feet like a dog to beg.

She suddenly burst into laughter and squeezed out four words from her teeth: The national law is ruthless.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, collapsed dejectedly, pushed away the crying Concubine Chen who pulled the sleeve of his robe, and said sadly: Since that's the case, leave her a complete body. After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

No, I don’t want to die, I am the imperial concubine, you can’t kill me, Your Majesty, you speak Ah!

At the critical moment of life and death, Concubine Chen no longer cared about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. She cried like crazy and threw herself on Yizong, hugged him, and buried her head deeply in his arms.

Ping Ning looked at the scared woman with contempt, waved her hand back, and two black-armored warriors walked forward, pulled her away from Yizong, and each grabbed her arms and pressed her back to the ground.

Another person came over with a pot of wine, grabbed her hair and fixed her head, picked up the pot and wanted to force her to drink wine.

Concubine Chen knew that the pot was poisonous wine and would die if she drank it, so she twisted her body desperately and struggled. At the same time, she threw her head back and forth with force, but the cherry mouth was tightly closed and dared not open it.

Be honest, don't move around. The black-armored warrior cursed, stepping hard on her belly, stuffing the spout into her mouth while she screamed, and then pinched her nose and poured the poisonous wine down.

With the sound of gurgling, Concubine Chen's throat moved up and down, and in a blink of an eye, she drank a pot of poisonous wine into her stomach.

It was not until the kettle was empty that the warrior let her go and retreated behind Pingnin.

Concubine Chen struggled to get up, and didn't bother to wipe away the tears on her face. She pointed at Ping Ning and cursed: You are so cruel. Although I am not in harmony with you, I have never thought of killing your life. The one who loves the most among His Majesty's four children and eight daughters is you. Unexpectedly, you are heartless and repaid with grudges and will harm me. Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go... Before I finished speaking, I felt a cramp in my stomach, and my heart churned like a tumultuous person. Her whole body was trembling. She couldn't help but cover her belly with both hands, bent down, but she could not speak anymore.

The poisonous wine was prepared by Chen Keer and was extremely toxic and completely attacked in a moment.

Concubine Chen felt that there were countless knives in her stomach, which split her intestines and stirred her. It seemed that a ball of fire was burning, burning her internal organs into charcoal.

Under the severe pain, her legs were shaking like sieve chaff, and she could no longer hold on. She fell to the ground and rolled up, scratching her hands on her body, shaking the green pajamas to pieces, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. Although she was already thirty-seven years old, she usually took good care of herself. Her figure was plump, plump, concave and convex, without any fat. Her skin was smooth, delicate and elastic, and it seemed that it would break if the wind blew.

At this time, Concubine Chen's white body rolled and twisted back and forth on the ground like a snake. Her thin waist and round buttocks rubbed against the blue bricks and made a rustling sound. The two straight peaks on her chest were up and down, causing the two thrilling red points on the top of the peak to keep beating, making the people dry.

However, under the toxic invasion, her futile struggle before her death was destined not to last long. After only one cup of tea, her face turned ashen, her eyelids and lips swollen, turning purple-black, and her mouth opened and closed, and a large amount of white foam began to gush out of her mouth and nose, flowing down her chin on the ground. However, her struggle became smaller and smaller, and gradually turned from turning back and forth to roll violently to twitching. Finally, her whole body curled up like a baby, raised her legs, almost pushing her chest. As her body spasmed again and again, her knees hit her chest and made a slap sound.

Concubine Chen's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the characters in front of her were all leaving her. She felt as if she was floating in the air, and the only feeling was the severe pain from her abdomen: Is it over like this? I entered the palace at the age of fifteen and experienced countless intrigues in the palace before I reached my current position. The strong winds and waves failed to defeat me. Are I going to die in this small pot of wine today? No! I don't want to die, I still have many things to do... She suddenly opened her eyes unwillingly, her legs suddenly rolled and closed, her body thrust, and then her whole body completely relaxed. The ends of her hands and feet trembled slightly for a few times and then she stopped moving again.

Concubine Chen looked extremely strange when she died. Her body bent over like a shrimp and lay on the ground. One hand was pressed under her body, and the other stretched out to the side and clenched into a fist. Her legs were bent and folded from her knees, but her instep was straight.

Due to the violent struggle before her death, she was covered in sweat. She completely stuck the green gauze skirt to her body, her butt was slightly raised, and a yellow clear spring slowly flowed out from the pink peach garden door between her thighs with a little black debris, and flowed along the white jade's flawless long legs to the ground. A disgusting stench slowly spread from her body.

A warrior frowned and walked up, kicked Shen Guifei's waist, kicking her over, then reached out and pushed away the strands of black hair stuck to her face by sweat and saliva, explored her nose, and pressed her hand on her chest and touched her heartbeat, confirming that she was dead, so he nodded to Princess Pingning.

Yizong Li Yan slowly raised his head and looked at the dead beloved concubine. Seeing her eyes wide open, her mouth and nose twisted, her face was extremely ferocious, and there was no trace of the stunning fragrance of a fairy descending to earth. She couldn't help but sigh and turned her face and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Ping Ning walked over and stepped on Concubine Shen's face a few times, exhaling a breath of anger that had been accumulated in her chest. Then she turned around and came to Li Han, narrowed her eyes and looked at him, and gritted her teeth word by word: Please give me the order to the prince.

But Ye Qingping came to Princess Yuxin's residence and saw two palace maids with swords guarding the gate of the yard. They were obviously not soldiers of the Black Panther Cavalry or the Yulin Army. So she said loudly: Princess Pingning is in trouble. I am here to protect the princess on the order of Eunuch Cai. I also ask the two to report to His Highness the Princess.

The two palace maids were already panicked when they heard the shouts of killing outside the palace. At this time, they suddenly saw the people sent by Eunuch Cai as if they had grabbed the straw that helped them, and hurriedly came up to meet them.

One of them asked: Do you have Eunuch Cai’s warrant?

Eunuch Cai’s handwriting is here. Before Ye Qingping finished speaking, the broken knife in her hand had already been slashed down, and it slashed firmly on the left shoulder of the questioning palace maid, slashed across her chest, and broke out from under the right side of her body, cutting her into two halves.

The palace maid opened her mouth wide and could no longer make a sound when she could make a low scream. As blood spurted out from behind her chest, her upper body gradually separated from her lower body, and she slid down like a landslide. The internal organs that emitted heat and black steam surged out from her body, falling all over the ground.

Another palace maid saw that her companion was stabbed and had blood-stained internal organs flowing all over the floor. The two broken bodies kept twitching in the pool of blood, and kicked their feet randomly. She screamed in fear and shouted: Come on, someone... reach out to pull out the waist knife on her waist.

But her hand stopped suddenly as soon as she touched the hilt of the knife, because the four short swords had pierced into her soft body from the front and behind her body.

You... She opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but found that her mouth was full of sticky blood and she could not make any sound.

The four Black Panther Cavalry disguised as palace maids succeeded in a sneak attack and did not give her a chance to counterattack. The four of them used force at the same time, and two short swords that pierced from the back of the waist suddenly penetrated from her lower abdomen, and the short swords that pierced from the tip of her breasts also penetrated from her back heart one after another.

Although the palace maid had good martial arts skills, she was suddenly attacked and had no strength to fight back after being attacked. She could only twist her body in pain and spit out blood, sending out a dying wail.

Four short swords were pulled out of her body, and the blood that was gushing out of the wound for a moment completely dyed her light green short jacket red. Her body only shook slightly and then collapsed on the snow, her limbs twitched violently, and a slight whimpering sound came from her throat.

Seeing that her internal organs were ruptured and her seven orifices were bleeding, Ye Qingping knew that her life was in a short time and was too lazy to finish the knife on her body. She jumped over her body and walked into the yard.

Qingping ordered four Black Panther Cavalry to guard the front and back doors, and those who enter and leave will be killed without any reason. He brought the remaining three people to Princess Yuxin's bedroom.

Along the way, several panicked palace maids were stabbed to death by them without saying anything. When they finally arrived at the princess' bedroom, eight bloody corpses were left behind.

Ye Qingping kicked open the door and jumped in with a sharp edge in front of her chest.

There were four eternal lamps in the room, which were so bright that they were illuminated, but they were silent and empty.

Qingping walked to the edge of the bed and saw that the bedding was scattered. It was obvious that someone had just slept. She reached out and found that the bed was still hot. She sneered and cursed: I'm playing hide-and-seek with me.She couldn't run out of the yard, so search for me.

In less than a cup of tea, a girl of eighteen or seventeen years old was forced into by a black panther cavalry with a short sword. She was wearing only a pink gauze dress full of peach blossoms. She had long black hair and was scattered under the skin. Her skin was better than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. As she looked around, she had a elegant and noble temperament, which was completely different from those ordinary palace maids.

Ye Qingping knew at a glance that the girl was Princess Yuxin, the daughter of Concubine Chen. Seeing her beautiful appearance, she suddenly remembered her past self and felt a little reluctant to kill her.

But Qingping knew very well that she could not act emotionally at this time, so she had to make up her mind and said with a cold face: Your Highness, Princess, it’s not that I want to kill you, but that your mother is just a matter of collusion with Cai Zhong, and that you have implicated you, please don’t blame me.If you are afraid of pain, close your eyes, and I will be finished soon after I cut it.

To Qingping's surprise, Princess Yuxin did not cry and shout, but just sighed softly, and said calmly with her big watery eyes: I had known this day long ago, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. I still want to see my father and mother for the last time. Is it OK?

Ye Qingping shook her head, raised the knife in her hand, and said: I will send you there to meet them now.

Princess Yuxin smiled bitterly and sighed: I have been living in intrigues for the past seventeen years, and I have never lived happily for a day. I hope I will not be born in the imperial family in the next life.

After saying that, she raised her hand, gently grabbed the blade hanging above her head, and said loudly: I am the descendant of Tian Khan, and I cannot see blood. If you want to kill me, please use white silk.

Ye Qingping didn't expect that there were so many rules for killing people, but she nodded, as if she agreed.

Thank you, please let me clean up and get on the road cleanly.

After saying that, Princess Yuxin climbed onto the bed, put down the curtain to cover everyone's sight, and then took out two silk handkerchiefs from her arms. Looking at the two white handkerchiefs, she thought that she was about to die if she was seventeen years old. She felt sad in her heart. Two lines of clear tears fell like jade beads with broken lines. She took off her underwear while crying, then gritted her teeth, kneaded her handkerchief into a ball and stuffed it into her anus. She stopped until she stuffed the entire handkerchief deeply into the large intestine and blocked the exit. Then she stuffed another handkerchief into the vagina in the same way, until she was sure that she would not be incontinent when she died, so she put on her clothes again, lifted the curtain, sat down beside the bed, closed her eyes, and waited for them to take action.

Ye Qingping waved her hand, and the two black panthers rode forward, pulled the sheets and twisted them into ropes, dripped them into water, and walked around her neck twice, then pulled them hard to both sides. As the sheets gradually tightened, Princess Yuxin frowned, and her face began to show a look of pain. She couldn't help but open her eyes, and her pink small fragrant tongue spit out from her mouth. Swallow slowly flowed down her tongue, dripping along her chin, soaking a large area on her chest.

At first, Princess Yuxin could still maintain her reserve, grabbing the bed with her hands tightly, silently enduring the pain caused by suffocation, but as the sheets tightened, her neck clattered, her face began to turn purple-red, her facial features gradually twisted, and her hands couldn't help but stretch out, grabbing the sheets wrapped around her neck and pulling them out hard, hoping to pull out a gap so that she could inhale a little air, but the tightened sheets were not loose at all.Move, in front of the two Black Panther Cavalry with martial arts, her struggle seemed so weak. After a while, her hands finally slowly loosened and slid to both sides of her body. Her whole body was spasming violently, her eyes almost protruded out of her eye sockets, and two thin blood lines flowed down from her nostrils. With a scream, a cold wind blew in from the crack of the door, blowing out an eternal light. Princess Yuxin's body shook violently, and then her whole body suddenly fell down.

Is it all over like this?Princess Yuxin suddenly felt a squirming in her intestines, and the two handkerchiefs were about to slide out of her body.

No, do you still want to make a fool of yourself after death? Princess Yuxin used all her last bit of strength to clamp her butt, and then all her consciousness fell into a blank space.

Ye Qingping gently closed Princess Yuxin's eyes, stuffed her tongue, which was twice as swollen as she was outside her mouth, and then closed her mouth and covered her with a brocade quilt to cover her.

Although Princess Yuxin had died, Ye Qingping still did not untie the sheets strangled around Princess Yuxin's neck for the sake of insurance.

Looking at the corpse under the brocade quilt, Qingping felt like a stone was blocked in her heart.

According to her past understanding, people are afraid of death, at least she is afraid of death.

But today the calm eyes of the two princesses when facing death completely overturned her belief.

Is there really anyone in this world who is not afraid of death?

Is it true that some people can resolutely reject the last glimmer of hope for the sake of maintaining dignity and for the illusory thing called backbone?

Could it be that because they are bleeding noble blood, they can face life and death calmly?

Although she was unwilling, Qingping had to admit that she admired them from the bottom of her heart.

Humph, what's so great about it? If it weren't for Li Moxi, she wouldn't have been on the spot.

Qingping comforted herself, leaving four people to guard Yu Xin's body, and walked towards the cold palace with the remaining three black panther cavalry. She also remembered Shangguan Hong's instructions to her when she was leaving, and protected the queen mother.

The sky in the east was bright, and Ye Qingping was exhausted after a night of fighting. Fortunately, both sides of the war in the mutiny were concentrated in the Daming Palace, and she was not blocked from coming to the cold palace.

To put it bluntly, this cold palace is a cage that imprisons the deprived concubines. The yard has been disrepaired and there are weeds coming out of the snow everywhere. She followed the route she had already explored and went straight to the yard where the empress dowager was imprisoned. Along the way, she didn't even encounter a bird.

Stop, who is?A palace guard guarding at the door shouted.

Princess Pingning sent us to protect the Queen Mother.Ye Qingping replied slowly, narrowing her eyes and looking at the guard in front of her in the faint morning light.

These people stayed at the door. Come in with me, don’t disturb the Queen Mother.

A hint of undetectable hesitation flashed in his eyes as he spoke.

Ye Qingping smiled slightly and said lightly: When will you enter the palace?Why does it still have a bloody smell on your body?

The guard was shocked after hearing this.

He reached out and pulled out his sword, but saw a black broken knife slashing it on his head.

The charcoal fire had already been extinguished. Although there was still a trace of heat in the house, it was not much warmer than outside. This was the cold palace. The charcoal supplied was only enough to burn until the night before. After the fire was closed in the second half of the night, it could only rely on the little heat of the charcoal furnace to keep warm. I don’t know how many concubines who were used to being rich and wealth were killed by the cold nights after being thrown into the cold palace.

Queen Ning sat on the bed, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, but she still couldn't stop coughing, but her heart was even colder than this cold night when water turned into ice.

After three years, she has been instigated to the cold palace for three years. From one person to ten thousand people, the extremely noble Empress suddenly became a prisoner who no one asked about the scriptures.

She knew that many people were waiting for her to fend for herself here, and that the power of her mother's family had been gradually dismantled and disintegrated in the past three years. She also knew that Yan'er lived a life of being in danger outside, but she could do nothing.

The only thing she can do is to live. No matter how hard or how hard or how bitter she is, she must live tenaciously, for the Ning family and for the sake of her.

After three years, she gritted her teeth and survived, but was it the imperial edict for death that came?What interesting words are, you must reward even if you die.

Empress, you just obey, let's go back and report.The palace maid in front of her advised that there was a pot of poisonous wine on the tray in her hand, and two vicious warriors stood behind her.

This imperial edict is false. Whose command have you been instructed?Let me understand if I die.

Queen Ning said gritting her teeth.

The palace maid sighed and stretched out her hand. The two warriors behind her walked forward and wanted to use force.

The door opened, and the cold wind blew the snow on the ground and poured in from the door, and the huge sword light came in at the same time.

With a soft sniff, a dark broken knife stabbed into the back of the palace maid. Her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked at the blade suddenly popping out of her chest, covered with warm and sticky blood, which was her blood.

With a bang, the wine pot fell to the ground and smashed it. The poisonous wine spilled on the bluestone tiles and a burst of clear smoke rose, turning into countless white foam.

Ye Qingping smuggled the knife in her body fiercely, stirring her heart, liver and lungs into pieces. Then she pulled it out, letting her body collapse under her feet, swinging the knife to slash, and attacking the warrior closest to the queen.

This was destined to be a battle without suspense. Under the attack of Ye Qingping and three Black Panther Cavalry, in a blink of an eye, three people who came to poison the queen had already been on the spot, leaving no living mouth.

Ye Qingping knelt down, leaned on the ground with a knife, lowered her head and said: The last general Zhan Wushuang came to rescue him by Lord Shangguan Hong. He came one step late, which scared the empress dowager. He hoped that the empress dowager would forgive him.

Queen Ning nodded and said: General Zhan, please get up quickly. The ground is cold, don’t let your knees be frozen like me.You just called me the Queen Mother, could it be the Prince?... Ye Qingping nodded solemnly and told the story roughly. Queen Ning finally believed that all this was true. She suddenly bowed outside the door and cried and shouted: God has eyes, bless you...

Queen Ning cried for a while and stood up, helped Ye Qingping and others kneeling behind her, wiped away her tears, and asked about the mutiny one by one, but didn't mention anything about someone who wanted to harm her just now.

Ye Qingping returned to Qingming from ecstasy moments when she saw Empress Ning. The questions were all the key points. Even if she refused, the Empress Dowager could guess eight out of ten. She was clear about the direction of the mutiny, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. She secretly admired her, thinking that the Empress Dowager was indeed a powerful character in her meticulous mind, and she would still be careful in serving her in the future.

Everyone waited until dawn and sunrise in the east before they heard footsteps outside the yard. Ye Qingping didn't dare to be careless and came to the gate of the yard in person and saw a eunuch in his early thirties holding an imperial edict and talking to the Black Panther Cavalry at the door.

Ye Qingping asked carefully and found out that the emperor suddenly died of serious illness last night and passed the throne to the prince.

The prince has entered the palace to ascend the throne. At this time, he is on his way to the cold palace to welcome the queen mother. As the chief eunuch beside the prince, he comes here first to announce the imperial eunuch, so that the queen mother can prepare.

Ye Qingping smiled and said: Thank you for your hard work, but the Empress Dowager was frightened just now and just went to bed. Why don’t we wait here first? When the palace comes down, I will go in and report it.By the way, how dare you ask your father-in-law for his honorary name?

Seeing that she held the broken knife in her hand and refused to give in, the eunuch had no choice but to wait with her at the door.

During the chat, Ye Qingping learned that this person's name was Tian Lingzi, and he turned out to be from Lizhou, Beichuan.

Lizhou is her second hometown. At this time, it is really said that the fellow villagers were crying when they saw them. When talking about the situation in their hometown, there were many topics between them.

They wandered in a foreign land without any support, and they were considered to be in the same disease. The closer they talked about it, when Ye Qingping talked about Wang Jianzhong's bloody purge of Lizhou, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing that she had no airs at all, Tian Lingzi was also moved by her heart and kept urging her to relax.

A eunuch and a general stood on the snow and chatted about the past of his hometown. Unconsciously, a red sun slowly rose from the white sky in the east. Widths of sunlight stubbornly penetrated the clouds, shining on the snow and emitted dazzling reflections. The dilapidated yard and everyone outside the courtyard were crossed to a layer of golden color, which was not very real.

That night of howling cold wind and snowy snow has become a thing of the past. It is dawn and a new era has begun.

In March, the eastern capital Luoyang is prosperous and the streets are crowded with market vendors doing business, and the hawking sounds are endless.

With the sound of horse hooves, two tall horses came to the east of the street. A young man and woman were talking and laughing all the way and walking side by side.

The young man wore Fang Jin on his head and a long blue gown with a dignified appearance. The woman beside him wore a light yellow tight short shirt and a red cloak. She looked beautiful and charming with every frown and smile. She was really a pair of matches with this young man.

I heard the young master say: Yuqin's cousin went down the mountain under the orders of Senior Li this time. I think she will be famous and become a female hero that everyone admires.

The woman smiled slightly, her face turned slightly red, and she said: I went down the mountain this time to get a magic knife. The master ordered me to take the things and go back to the mountain immediately, so that there would be no delay. But now I have been delaying a lot of time along the way. I am afraid that I will be scolded by the master when I go back...

My cousin is as beautiful as a painting, with high martial arts skills, and has been deeply influenced by Senior Li. He can’t like it, but how can he scold you? I see... the man spoke sweetly, making the woman who made Yuqin laugh repeatedly, and for a moment, it was like a blooming peony, unparalleled beauty.

The two were walking when suddenly there was a chaos ahead. A woman cried loudly: You evil people, just because my father owed you three hundred cents, he wanted to sell me into a brothel. Are you not afraid of the king's law?

The king's law, Lao Tzu is the king's law.

Amid a burst of laughter, the woman screamed, obviously bullied.

Yuqin looked around and saw several burly men in the heart of the street tugging around a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Her clothes had been torn, revealing the large area of ​​snow-white skin below. She looked panicked, and she covered the key part of her chest tightly with her hands and refused to let go.

Seeing this scene, she was so angry that she smoked her orifices and shouted: You dog slaves dare to force the robbers of the people in broad daylight, which is really worse than pigs and dogs.

Before she finished speaking, she flew up from the horse's back. She twisted her body in the air, swung her legs and kicked four people in a row.

He heard a scream, and the four evil slaves surrounding the woman suddenly fell to the ground with their chests and could not stand up again. This mandarin duck chain legs made her elegant and free. Until the four of them fell to the ground, she fell gently on the ground like a son. She really put the demeanor of a big shot, which made the young man behind her praise him.

The humiliated girl suddenly saw the savior, and her already desperate face suddenly showed joy. She shouted for help and ran over to hide behind Yuqin.

Yuqin looked coldly at the slaves in front of her who held sticks but did not dare to go forward, and cursed: You slaves usually rely on people's power, and now Japanese girls want to eliminate harm for the people... As soon as she was speaking, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist, and a numbness quickly expanded from her waist to her whole body. In a moment, she found that her legs were unable to move.

What kind of poison is this?How did it happen so quickly?

Of course she didn't know that this poison was a unique recipe for Chen Keer, the eldest elder of Chenyue Sect. It was specially used to deal with top masters like Eunuch Cai, and it was not something she could resist.

Yuqin suppressed the surprise in her heart, and her internal force quickly flowed, forcibly isolating the poison from the internal organs, while her elbows collided backwards.

But her attack fell into the air, and the girl who had sneaked into her has already escaped to the distance.

She felt a chill in her heart, knowing that she was trapped, and shouted: Cousin, kill these people soon.

However, she received no response. She couldn't help but look back and saw that her romantic cousin had already separated from her head, and her headless body was still hanging on the kickstick.

cousin!You...I'll fight with you!

She roared, her long sword was unsheathed, and her purple sword energy was spit out quickly, and she slashed out with a sword.

The four pretended servants were slashed into two pieces by the sword that broke through the mountain and ground in an instant. They didn't even have time to scream and the corpse was slashed on the spot.

However, Yuqin used all her internal strength through this sword. After slashing out one sword, the internal strength was released, and the poisonous gas immediately attacked the heart, and her face turned black, and she staggered and took a step back.

She had just stood firm and swung her sword and slashed again when she suddenly saw an old man flashing in front of her, grabbing her wrist with her left hand like lightning, and slapped her chest with her right hand.

She raised her left arm to block it, but after the poisonous attack, her body stiffened. She only lifted her arms halfway and could not lift them up again. She could only watch the palm hit the bulge of her left chest.

With a muffled bang, her chest suddenly became concave, and her internal organs shattered, and even more so, a broken sternum pierced directly into her heart.

Yuqin held her breath in her chest and couldn't breathe. Her eyes turned pale, her seven orifices were bleeding, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

She vomited out the blood mixed with internal organs in her mouth with difficulty, retracted her dispersed eyes, and said intermittently with the last strength: With your... martial arts... I am not an opponent... Why do you still want to... kill me with such bad means?

However, she did not get the answer in the end. The last thing she saw was the old man sneered and slapped her with a palm.
