That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 648 Someone Came From Under the Lake
Zhao Wang Xiaoqi, in the eyes of many people, he is a prince of peace, and he is almost the bottom of the list of vassal kings, not to mention the former Qi Wang and the current prince Xiao Bai, or Liao Wang Mutangzhi, Yan Wang Xiao Li and the others are inferior even to Xiao Mahe, the king of Lingwu County. They can only be compared with Xiao Quji, a grandson.

This time His Majesty the Emperor left the imperial capital to go to the Circular Mound Altar to offer sacrifices to heaven. According to the itinerary plan, the round trip took only one day, so Zhao Wang Xiaoqi's stay in the imperial capital was not a big deal to outsiders. After all, it was not a southern tour, it was only a day What can go wrong?However, as His Majesty the Emperor was attacked at the Circular Mound Altar, and the road back to the imperial capital was blocked by the Chinese army, he had no choice but to go to the camp of the Meishan Mausoleum Guard Army. Zhao Wang Xiaoqi's position became more delicate, although there were three people left behind. In addition to Xiao Qi, there are also Li Zhenji and Zhao Zongxian, but the latter two are foreign ministers after all, and they are not comparable to the clan prince with the surname Xiao on his head, so Xiao Qi is still the main one among the three. influence the direction of the situation to some extent.

At this time, Xiao Qi had already returned to his palace from the Taimiao. The distance between Prince Zhao's Palace and His Majesty's palace was not too far, and it was only a cup of tea to come out from Daqi Gate. The reason for this arrangement was actually because other princes His mansions are all scattered in every state in the world, and he is the only vassal king staying in Beijing, so it is not easy to stay too far away.

After a heavy snowfall, the front door was full of snow. After the snow stopped, the servants of each household came out to sweep the snow with brooms. The front of the Zhaowang Mansion was no exception. There were four servants sweeping the snow, plus A group of armored soldiers lined up in front of the gate, showing the style that a prince's palace should have.

The palace occupies a vast area, and the mansion is naturally diverted to form a lake. Xiao Qi stood with his hands behind his back on the bank of the frozen lake, contemplating.

In the imperial capital, there are many people who are greedy for profit, but there are few real fools. The current situation is changing again and again. After Zhao Wang Xiaoqi was secretly happy at the beginning, it is inevitable that he is worried. It is natural that His Majesty the Emperor can come back safely. , but if they can’t come back, even if His Royal Highness, King Yan, and others all suffer accidents, there will still be a king of Wei watching over him. He is the second son of Emperor Wuzu and the younger brother of Emperor Taizu. Well, if he leads his troops ashore, so what if he holds an imperial capital in his hands?And Xiao Qi is not a fool, today's events are full of strange things, maybe it was planned by the king of Wei, and only this wise and monster king of Wei can force His Majesty the emperor to use it outside the imperial capital. The point of passing on the national seal.

Xiao Qi lowered his head and looked at the stone steps under his feet, which were built to facilitate the landing of the boat. The lowest level of the stone steps has been frozen in the lake water. Through the ice layer, the situation under the ice surface cannot be clearly seen, only the fish shadows can be seen faintly flashed.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the ice layer on the lake, and then the crack continued to spread outward, and the spreading speed became faster and faster, causing the entire frozen lake to shatter, like a mottled piece of ice. tortoise shell.

A black shadow was faintly visible under the ice, and then the black shadow began to rise rapidly, becoming clearer and clearer.

After a while, Xiao Qi finally saw clearly that it was a figure.

Immediately afterwards, the entire surface of the lake was completely shattered, and a fist broke out of the lake.

This punch is like spring thunder, everything wakes up, stinging insects startle and burst out of the ground, and it is like ice thawing, carp leaping on the lake.

The fist was as heavy as a mountain, breaking through the ice layer of the lake and stirring up thousands of waves.

And under the fist is a tall figure rushing out of the lake.

The strength of the fist is extremely domineering, piercing the sky, and carrying the sound of howling wind.

The face of the middle-aged guard standing not far behind Xiao Qi changed drastically, he grabbed the master's shoulders, stepped back, and stepped back without any regard for etiquette.

The lake water fell one after another, like a shower.

The next moment, the figure rushing out from under the lake broke through the "rain curtain", walking straight towards the two of them like thunder without stopping.

The guards of the palace stood in front of Xiao Qi, crossed their hands to block the punch, their cuffs were shattered, and the whole person flew back into the air, but then someone grabbed his wrist again and hit his chest hard , the guard who had been pampered in the palace for many years suddenly turned pale, he swallowed the blood that had already reached his throat, and threw an elbow with all his strength, but was blocked lightly by the visitor, followed by another knee bump on him. His abdomen made him fly backwards, if he hadn't twisted his body desperately at the last moment, he would almost have knocked Xiao Qi to the ground together.

After the palace guard landed, he took a few steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground, and then he stopped, his internal organs seemed to be twisted together, and only then did he see clearly what he just did. The person was a tall man with a cold and indifferent face, like a hard stone at the bottom of a lake, which made him feel a chill in his back.

There is a saying that learning the art of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, not only the literati can sell their talents to the emperor's family, but also many martial arts, just like the domestic dogs and wild dogs when Gongsun Zhongmou and Murong Xuanyin talked. It is said that to be a wild dog, it is inevitable to be shot to death by someone, and become a pot of dog meat, but if it becomes a domestic dog, it will be very different, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog.

But then again, a house dog is used to being pampered and pampered, and the skills of fighting people are inevitably unfamiliar, and it is inevitable that he will fall into a disadvantage when encountering wild dogs.

The next moment, the tall man took another step forward and threw a punch at the same time.

Fist like thunder.

"Where are there so many fairylands in this world?"

The palace guard snorted coldly, forced himself to lift up the Qi machine, shook his palms, the Qi machine gathered his hands, and patted the temples on both sides of the tall man.

It's just that this tall and tall man who didn't know where he came from unexpectedly didn't dodge or dodge, ignoring the palms of the palace guards, he still punched down.

After all, the guards of the royal palace still cherished their lives, unable to make a fierce move of exchanging lives for lives, so they could only withdraw their palms, and reluctantly put on a defensive posture in front of their chests to block the punch, and then he lifted his feet off the ground in an instant, and turned backwards. Flying backwards with a bang, the guards of the royal residence in the realm of celebrity and fairyland did not have much power to resist.

The tall man took advantage of the situation and took several steps in succession, one step counting feet, one step with one punch.

In an instant, the guard of the palace was punched several times in a row, and before he landed, he was exhausted and died.

The fight between the two was only a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the guard of the palace died, leaving only Xiao Qi alone.

As a member of the Xiao family, Xiao Qi also practiced the well-known Xiao family's boxing intentions, but he couldn't find the right way, and his whole life was just at the point where he had just glimpsed the way. As soon as he made a gesture, he was swiftly punched between the forehead and eyebrow by the tall man, and the whole person flew backwards, with a bang, his back hit the courtyard wall.

The walls were smashed to pieces.

The tall man flew forward again, pressed Xiao Qi's head with one hand, and slammed it hard against the wall.

The walls came crashing down. .

Xiao Qi, the majestic clan prince, had his brain shattered, his eyes wide open, and he could not die with peace in his eyes.

A moment later, a large number of palace guards arrived here, leaving only two corpses on the ground.

At the same time, similar scenes were unfolding in other places in the Imperial City, and the Dark Guard Mansion was slowly covering the Imperial City like a spreading shadow.
