Chapter 260 The Final Duel
Chapter 260 The Final Duel
"Que Guang, did you kill your own son?" Qi Ze's voice sounded calm as usual, but there was a hint of deepness and unbelievability in it.
"Huh? I thought Shi Lang would be indifferent, after all, Shi Lang never meddles in other people's business." Emperor Yuan Ping sneered lightly.
"I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but your behavior is too disgusting."
"Hmph, disgusting? I was able to kill my wife and hunt down my son for more than ten years, but now I just killed my own son. Does this make Qi Shilang feel disgusted?" The emperor on the high platform slowly Walking down the steps, "I thought Shi Lang Qi already understood who I am."
Qi Ze just stared coldly at Emperor Yuan Ping, who was gradually walking down the steps, and seemed to be leisurely walking towards his only two remaining sons, without saying a word.
"Father..." Que Xian burst into tears instantly, his body shaking like a sieve, "I beg Father, please save my son's life."
Emperor Yuan Ping smiled and squatted down, stroking his son's tearful face with fatherly love, and said softly: "Xian'er is so obedient and never let me worry about it, how could I have the heart to kill you?" Then The tone turned cold, making people chill, "But Xian'er is so useless, how can you let me keep you?"
This beautiful and unparalleled face gradually approached, but in Que Xian's eyes, it looked like the evil ghost Shura who came to seek his life, his pupils reflected the lovingly smiling father, but his heart fell into an ice cave in despair.
With a click, Que Xian's neck snapped, and a fresh life was lost.
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Ping could even kill his favorite eldest son, Que Yi, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, was even more shocked, and quickly raised his head to look at his own father, Huang, who was smiling at him.
"Father." Although Que Yi's voice trembled slightly, it seemed much calmer.
"Yi'er, you are instigating Xian'er to force the palace to rebel, and you want to win the throne. I have to say, you have a bit of brains. But your mind is too active, and you don't have the courage to take responsibility for the whole country of Beishuo." Emperor Yuanping elegantly Kneeling down and facing Que Yi, "So, you can't afford the Beishuo throne, you are not suitable to be an emperor."
Que Yi, who was forced to kneel on the ground, looked at his biological father, the emperor, who was originally calm, and broke out completely when he heard Emperor Yuan Ping say that he was not suitable to be an emperor.
"A minister is not suitable to be an emperor, so is this idiot like Que Xian suitable? He just took the title of the eldest son, but he always overwhelmed us. Why should he? Father knows that he is stupid and incompetent, and can't take on the big responsibility. Why? I have to entrust him with all the government affairs of the court. Is it just because he is the eldest son? If this is the case, the minister will definitely do better than Que Xian, which proves that the minister is more suitable to be emperor than Que Xian .” Que Yi almost yelled these words frantically.
But Emperor Yuanping's face remained unchanged, he still smiled, and approached his face and said: "But Yi'er can't take on the heavy responsibility of Beishuo, let alone control the vast land of Beishuo. It's not the life of the emperor." While speaking, the emperor's hand also quietly came to Que Yi's neck, and with a sudden force, the person who could feel the beating of life disappeared instantly like a kite with a broken string.
Qi Ze, who watched all this quietly, remained silent.Until Concubine Li Gui stumbled to this place and cried out in grief when she saw Que Xian, who had no vitality and an earthy face.
"Que Guang, how can you do this. Xian'er is mediocre and incompetent, embarrassing, but how can you be cruel. This is your own son. Tiger poison is not easy to eat, but you even have your own son. I can't tolerate it. No wonder Ning Wan hates you so much and dismisses you. Que Guang, you are an animal. It's not that Ning Wan is not good enough for you, but that you are not good enough for Ning Wan."
Concubine Li staggered weakly and crawled to Que Xian's side, hugged Que Xian tightly in her arms and burst into tears: "Xian'er, Xian'er of my palace, you are dead, so what hope does the concubine mother have? Xian'er is good, mother and concubine are here to accompany Xian'er, we mothers will die together." Then she picked up a blood-stained sword and pointed it at her neck, the woman was full of despair for the future, her eyes Empty, he followed his precious son with all his strength.
Seeing that Emperor Yuanping's expression remained unchanged and he was indifferent, Qi Ze asked aloud, "Que Guang, what do you want? What is your ultimate goal? Could it be that killing all of your own sons is what you want to do?" something?"
"Heh, then I'll also ask Qi Shilang, was that what you were going to do when you exterminated your entire clan?" Emperor Yuan Ping turned around leisurely, facing Qi Ze and questioned.Before the other party answered, he went on to say: "If people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it. I believe Shi Lang Qi understands this truth."
The lonely Beishuo emperor who killed all his close relatives approached slowly, full of gloom and cruelty that had never appeared before. When he looked up at Qi Ze, the majesty in those dragon eyes remained the same, just more A layer of obsession that others cannot understand.
"Why do people age and why do they die? This question has been lingering in my mind since I personally killed my own father. People are born into the world according to the world and fate, but God does not People are not given a body and life that can last forever, and what awaits everyone is old, helpless and lonely death. It is very sad, you watch yourself grow up, with a vibrant young body, but you can only Watching myself grow old and useless, old and old, waiting for my own sons to grow up and bring me down. Everyone is born alone and grows old alone, and no one can die with you Take it, death will always be yours alone."
"In order to occupy the highest point of imperial power in my limited life, I have used everything I can use. My wife, son, father, brother. But none of these can stop old age from approaching, and my limited life will end one day So far. Back then, my father was dying on the hospital bed, his old and helpless appearance made me feel pitiful, and he was powerless to stop me even feeding him poison on the spot."
The emperor shook his head, "I don't want it, I don't want to be reduced to his situation, and be killed by my own son. In order to continue to maintain this glorious life where all the people are subject to the imperial power, I can only kill them There is no successor for the Beishuo royal family, so I don't have to be reduced to the position where the power is left behind, oppressed, and no one cares about it. I am the first son of the former emperor of Beishuo, and I am the proud son of heaven with a noble status. I will not allow myself to live a life of That kind of sad life is never allowed!"
Looking at the man who fell into obsessive madness, Qi Ze said lightly: "Everyone will die, no one's life will have meaning, the body will die one day, including thoughts, this is a law, no one can defy it So, Que Guang, you are an obsession. You killed all your close relatives just because of your ridiculous obsession, so in the end, you are also a pathetic person."
"Sad?" Emperor Yuan Ping looked at Qi Ze and smiled mockingly, "Qi Ze, aren't you also a sad person? Since you were born, you were kept in the dark by the Qi family, living in disregard and lies. In the end, you I had to kill all my close relatives myself, leaving you with endless sins. To a certain extent, you and I are essentially the same kind of people, and we are all sin-bearers."
The man laughed unscrupulously, but the woman was not sad, and her eyes were not as empty and gray as before. Instead, she looked up at the other party and said, "No, Que Guang, you and I are not the same kind of people in essence. You I choose to take the initiative to walk on this path full of sins. I am carrying endless sins, but I am willing to bear this sin and choose a path of redemption, a path with him. I have been looking for a quiet and peaceful place before, In fact, I have found it a long time ago, the place with him is the peaceful place I have always yearned for."
The woman's face said these words calmly, with a dazzling light in her eyes, which made people feel moved.
After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Yuanping couldn't help but chuckled and said, "It's really unpleasant to talk to you, a woman. You and I are not the same kind of people in essence. After you say that, it seems to be true." Then he raised his eyes and looked at The woman said, "Qi Ze, I ask you, what is the way of the world?"
Before Qi Ze could answer, Emperor Yuan Ping went on to say, "Your answer is not important, because after this battle, those who survived will be the way of the world." The emperor raised his sword and pointed at the woman, "Come on, let's fight together!" The battle is not over yet."
Qi Ze also straightened his arms by his side, held a sharp sword, looked at the opponent coldly, jumped forward and swung a blow, the movement was sharp and fast.
Emperor Yuan Ping easily blocked it with the blade of his sword, and said: "Qi Ze, your martial arts are not bad among my opponents, but you are still a bit inferior." The man swung his sword with all his strength to force the woman back, " I am not your useless former emperor of Southern Chu, I am an emperor who has controlled the entire Beishuo kingdom for decades, and has fought bloody battles for many years without defeat."
Qi Ze was shocked by this powerful internal force and retreated more than ten meters, even the long sword in his hand could still feel the aftershock.This Emperor Yuan Ping said the truth, she has fought against different enemies for decades, and she really has no chance of winning in front of him.He really deserves to be Que Yu's own father, and it's different when dealing with others. Although she doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage, in fact, his physical strength is far superior to hers, and she can feel that he didn't use all his strength to deal with her.
When she was exhausted, he took the opportunity to strike with all his strength, and her life came to an end.Now, she can only fight with him, and wait for him to show his flaws, and she may have a chance of winning.
After Qi Ze stood still, he stabilized his breath, faced the enemy in front of him and began to attack from multiple angles, trying to find his weak point.
But Emperor Yuan Ping also seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a sneer, "Qi Ze, are you still struggling? You want to find my weakness, right? But unfortunately, I don't have a weakness, so you're doomed." It's over." After saying that, Emperor Yuan Ping released his own inner coercion, shaking Qi Ze tens of meters away and falling to the ground.
Feeling the pain scattered all over the body, even breathing was a little painful, she knew that what Emperor Yuan Ping said was true.Just now she deliberately tested from all sides, but she couldn't find a gap. Now that her physical strength is running out, facing such an enemy is really not ordinary.
When Qi Ze held the long sword and stood up straight weakly, before he could see clearly what was in his field of vision, he was hit hard on the face by a blow, which forced her to jump backwards until she felt like she was rolling on the ground. It took a long way to stop.
Knowing that Emperor Yuan Ping was going to be serious, Qi Ze didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, he quickly got up, stood up straight and fought back, so as to avoid being beaten back before he was ready again.
Shaking his head vigorously to clear his mind, he could see clearly, seeing that Emperor Yuan Ping had jumped up and slashed with his sword, Qi Ze immediately raised his sword sideways to resist.
"Qi Ze, I found that I like you more and more. It's a pity, I just can't understand you, I just want to kill you. You are not qualified to be my daughter-in-law." Emperor Yuan Ping pressed down on the sword , constantly putting pressure on the woman below.
Qi Ze also felt the heavy pressure rushing towards his whole body, making his body weaker and weaker, and his whole body wanted to be embedded in the soil.
In the end, the woman gritted her teeth fiercely, and slowly pushed back the sword that suppressed her with all her strength.Seeing that there was a slight sign of loosening, Qi Ze quickly turned his body, so that the entire sword above him inevitably swung towards the ground, stirring up layers of soil, and instantly, dust was everywhere.
Qi Ze, who hid aside, took a deep breath, trying to keep his breath steady, and Emperor Yuan Ping also attacked again.Because he was on the left, Qi Ze could only switch hands and hold the sword to resist quickly.But it was just this moment that made Qi Ze feel a sharp pain in his left hand. The injury from the martial arts competition with the Western Wei warriors in Southern Chu hadn't fully healed yet, and he didn't apply the medicine properly because of the busy government at that time, so the root cause of the disease finally fell.
Because of this blow, Qi Ze groaned in pain, and almost lost his grip on the long sword.
Emperor Yuan Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Is it your left hand? Have you ever been injured?" After finishing speaking, he attacked Qi Ze's sword with all his strength, and the powerful aftershock penetrated into his entire left hand like an electric current, making Qi Ze unable to bear it. Forced to let go of the pain.
Without Qi Ze's weapon protection, Emperor Yuan Ping became even more unscrupulous, and swung his hand with heavy internal force.After beating the man backwards, Emperor Yuan Ping also took the opportunity to grab Qi Ze's throat, and pushed the man against the wall of the Vermilion Palace not far behind him.
"Ah..." Qi Ze felt that his whole body was being restrained by him, and his hands were a little weak, trying to push away the iron arm that was choking his neck, but it was conceivable that it was useless.I just feel dizzy, the tip of my nose is sore, and the so-called breath of life seems to be passing from my body.
"Little sister." Qi Che finished off the enemy in front of him, and flew forward to rescue the restrained Qi Ze.
But Emperor Yuan Ping sent Qi Che flying to the other end with a sword force without turning his head. At the same time, Ning Xiao also flew forward waving a soft whip.
"Shaoyi."
Just as he was about to wrap the soft whip around Emperor Yuan Ping's arm that was holding Qi Ze, Emperor Yuan Ping didn't look at him, and his internal force shook Ning Xiao's body, causing the soft whip to come out of his hand.
"Qi Ze, no one can save you." Emperor Yuan Ping glanced at Qi Ze's injured left hand, thrust the tip of the sword into the flesh and blood of his left wrist, and said harshly: "Since the left hand is useless, then I will use it to save you." cut it for you."
Qi Ze was already trembling with pain, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, the arrogant pain of the cold and hard foreign body in the flesh was clearly visible, seeing that the blade of the sword was slowly tilted, and her left hand would be completely broken with just a little force.
Now that no one can save her, simply, Qi Ze gritted his teeth, moved his whole body forward, and his wrist slid from the tip of the sword to the handle of the sword.Immediately, the entire blade was stained with a layer of bright red blood.
When Emperor Yuan Ping was stunned, Qi Ze bent his knees sideways and hit Emperor Yuan Ping on the face with his knee.
Emperor Yuan Ping suffered from the pain, and immediately let go of the hand that clamped her neck, stepped back a few steps, and the hand holding the sword was also released.Qi Ze fell to the ground, knelt down on one knee, pulled out the long sword deeply embedded in her wrist and threw it aside.
The woman stood up straight as if she didn't feel the pain, and asked in a cold voice to Emperor Yuan Ping, who was also unarmed: "Que Guang, are you still fighting? I will accompany you to the end."
Emperor Yuan Ping also seemed to be tired of fighting, so he smiled and said: "Qi Ze, you are the first person who dared to hit me in the face. I am tired of fighting, and I don't want to fight against you anymore. I don't feel anything against a woman." It's disgraceful. It seems that the fight is about the same, and I will end this meaningless war now."
Emperor Yuanping made a gesture towards the sky, and in an instant, soldiers holding bows and arrows stood on the walls of the palace.All over the sky, the cold reflections of weapons were reflected in the pupils of the soldiers on Qi Ze's side, and the overwhelming sense of oppression was like an invisible boulder pressing on the hearts of the soldiers, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"There are a lot of people. It turns out that Que Guang laid an ambush here. It seems that we were wrong after all." Ning Xiao looked at the soldiers all over the wall and murmured hopelessly.
Qi Che covered his chest, which was feeling slightly tight, and said pantingly, "It's no wonder that the Beishuo army trained by Que Guang himself was all in ambush here, waiting for us to catch them all when we were exhausted."
Qi Ze stared at these extremely oppressive soldiers with deep eyes, and chuckled lightly.As expected of Emperor Yuan Ping, who was good at calculating and planning, she still kept a hand, but she made a mistake.
"What should we do? Now that we are exhausted, it is impossible to resist." Qi Che said after analyzing the current situation.
"Shao Yi." Ning Xiao looked at Qi Ze, worried.
"Qi Ze, have you conceded defeat?" Emperor Yuan Ping held another sword again, stood on the high platform in front of the Jinluan Hall, put his hands on the hilt and stood in front of him, "It seems that I won today, and this chess game is mine. Finally won."
Qi Ze's face was indifferent, and he said firmly: "No, you haven't won yet. I haven't died, and the soldiers haven't given up, so I haven't lost."
"Heh, do you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"
Qi Ze smiled faintly, "We haven't all the people from Prince Qin's Mansion, how do you know we will lose in the end?"
Emperor Yuan Ping sneered, and the corner of his mouth was full of deep meaning: "Are you still waiting for Yelan to come back? I can tell you that Yelan is at the border and won't come back for a while."
"No, he will come back." The woman's eyes were full of determination.
"Oh, then you go underground and wait for him." Emperor Yuan Ping waved his hand, and soldiers all over the sky raised their bows and arrows one after another, and in an instant, they were able to faintly cover the sun in the sky.
All the soldiers below were nervously waiting to die, and Qi Che and Ning Xiao also gave up their last hope, as if they could already see countless arrows piercing their bodies.
"what--"
But at this moment, another group of soldiers suddenly appeared behind the soldiers all over the wall, and cut off the heads of the soldiers in front with a sharp knife.
Emperor Yuan Ping was slightly taken aback, and Qi Che and the others also had a hint of surprise in their hearts.
Seeing this, Qi Ze was completely relieved, knowing that she had waited.
Because of the intense pain in his wrist, Qi Ze became unconscious for a while, his head became dizzy, and the scene in front of him also shook slightly and blurred a few times.He wanted to pick up a weapon to resist, but as soon as he squatted down, his eyes went dark, and he wanted to fall to the ground.
At this time, a pair of arms caught her and made her fall into a warm embrace.The man caressed her back, kissed her forehead lightly, breathed steadily, and said softly with unconcealed joy: "Little guy, the king has come back."
"You bastard, if you come a moment later, I won't wait for you anymore." The woman responded in a hoarse voice.
"Heh." Que Yu smiled softly, and teased, "Is my Lord Qi Shilang angry?"
Seeing that it was this time, and this man was still making fun of her here, the woman blushed slightly and shouted: "Que Yu."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." The man picked up a sword and put it in the woman's hand, and asked, "Can you still hold it?"
"No problem." Qi Ze raised his sword for support and stood up straight. His spirit had recovered a little. "It's no problem to kill a few more enemies."
Que Yu looked at the woman with a calm expression, and understood that she had a stubborn personality, and it would be impossible for her to step back and rest, so he could only sigh slightly and said, "Well, I will go to the palace to deal with the emperor's son, and you stay outside the palace. "
Qi Ze nodded, and Que Yu also went to face Emperor Yuan Ping directly to settle the hatred of more than ten years ago.
At this time, Emperor Yuanping had retreated into the hall, still standing in front of him with his arms on the hilt of his sword, full of dragon power.Zheng smiled with the corners of his lips curled up as he watched his son, who most resembled him, walk into the hall step by step, and formally started the contest between the two of them with him.
"Yelan, welcome back. I didn't expect you to suppress the local forces so quickly. This has exceeded my expectations."
Que Yu stood in front of the emperor, with the corners of his mouth curled up, with a relaxed expression, "Aren't you very disappointed that this king suppressed the local forces you worked so hard to cultivate so quickly?"
"Oh, I can't say I'm disappointed, but there are still accidents." Emperor Yuan Ping tilted his head slightly, and looked at his own son coldly, "If you don't come back, then this battle will be too boring."
Que Yu also understood the meaning expressed by Emperor Yuan Ping, restrained his cynical expression and began to look serious, "Everyone knows that compromises and concessions are only needed during negotiations, but what we need now is..."
"It's a duel!" Emperor Yuan Ping took the words, and the father and son tacitly lowered their eyes, released all their aura, and started the final duel after more than ten years.
The situation outside the palace was reversed because of Que Yu's timely return. Most of the soldiers on the palace wall were beheaded, and a small number of them escaped by jumping over the wall in time and survived.The army brought by Que Yu, together with the Qi family army and the Ning family army, was exactly equal to the Beishuo army and palace guards carefully trained by Emperor Yuan Ping.
Although Qi Ze was injured, but fortunately he had strong endurance, and he could wield a sword with one hand to wantonly kill among the soldiers so that the enemy could not get close.
Although Qi Che suffered a blow and his chest was tight and painful, but fortunately he practiced martial arts frequently, his physical fitness was excellent, and he was used to bumps and bumps, so he was more than enough to deal with these soldiers.
As soon as Ning Xiao threw out the soft whip and threw a group of soldiers to the ground, there was a soldier behind him with a sword and slashed at their heads.Sensing the danger, the woman turned around and fought back with all her strength, but the attack speed was too fast to swing the whip in time. Just as she was about to cut the woman's head, an arrow pierced the wind and hit the enemy's back.
The woman was out of danger, looked in the direction of the arrow, and found that Ning Mu was holding on to the bow, with one arm raised in the air and still maintaining the archery posture.Seeing Ning Xiao looking over, Ning Mu's eyes were panicked, and he turned away at a loss, hiding among the crowd.
The girl in red stared blankly at her father's back, and did not recover until the enemy attacked with weapons, and continued to join the battle.
The two people in the hall are fighting a duel, and the fight is inseparable, and it is difficult to tell who is superior for a while.
Emperor Yuan Ping looked at his son whom he hadn't seen in more than ten years in surprise, and said with a leisurely smile, "Ye Lan has really grown up, and even the Emperor Father can't defeat you for a while with all his strength. It can be said that you are really a tiger father." No dog."
"Que Guang, don't compare you with this king. When you killed your mother, there was no father-son relationship between us." Que Yu immediately retorted.
"Really? But among all the princes, you are the one who resembles me the most. No matter in terms of appearance or means, you are undoubtedly a true successor to me." Emperor Yuan Ping turned back and jumped slightly, Falling steadily to the ground, he looked at Que Yu and deliberately provoked him.
But Que Yu's expression didn't change at all, he just said indifferently: "My son, your low-end aggressive method is useless to this king, you should use it on others."
Seeing Que Yu's words punctured him, Emperor Yuan Ping didn't feel embarrassed, but said with a light smile: "That Ye Lan, are you sure that you will win in the end? If you want to defeat your father and inherit the throne in the end, then the throne must be yours." Is this yours?"
Looking at the sinister and cunning Emperor Yuan Ping with a deep meaning in front of him, Que Yu glanced outside the hall, knowing in his heart that Emperor Yuan Ping's capable subordinate Jiang Qi was not here, and he was probably sent to have other tasks.
Que Yu stared at Emperor Yuanping, and said slowly: "It's Yuxi, you let Jiang Qi abscond with Yuxi."
"That's right, even if I lose, but after I escape and enter the capital again, the throne will still belong to me." Emperor Yuan Ping looked at the indifferent Que Yu with a sneer, and continued: "So even Yelan won the throne, without the jade seal, Yelan still can't sit on the throne, and he is still not Beishuo's new emperor."
"Is that so? Emperor's son, I have to say that you are thoughtful enough, but..." Que Yu raised the corners of his mouth with certainty, "Can Jiang Qi really escape? It's too late for you to draw conclusions now." morning."
After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Yuan Ping understood what Que Yu was thinking, "You mean Qi Ze?" Emperor Yuan Ping sneered, "Oh, just rely on her? A woman? Yelan, you put your hope in a woman, this idea It's so funny."
"No." Que Yu firmly retorted, "With her watching outside, everything will be safe and sound."
Emperor Yuan Ping stared blankly at Que Yu, speechless for a while.
At this time, Jiang Qi was riding a steed, with a cloth bag pinned to his waist. From the square and blunt lines drawn on the cloth bag, it can be seen that it contained the jade seal.
The man held the reins with his hands, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards the gate of the palace.
The neighing of the horse attracted Qi Che's attention, and just when he was about to figure out what was going on, he saw the cloth bag on Jiang Qi's waist. The strange but familiar lines made Qi Che startled, thinking deeply about what it was.
After a long time, Qi Che shouted: "Stop him quickly, he has a jade seal on him."
At this time, Jiang Qi had already left in the dust, only a short distance away from the gate of the palace, and the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, but they could not stop the galloping hooves of the fast horse.
Seeing that Jiang Qi was about to escape from the palace, Ning Xiao panicked and swung his long whip to entangle the cloth bag.But the man on the horse was extremely sensitive. When the long whip was wrapped around the cloth bag, the man shot the sleeve arrow on his arm and pushed Ning Xiao back.
Ning Xiao ducked back and knelt down on one knee, looking dazed and flustered at the thrown soft whip on the ground, when she heard the neighing of a horse again.
Hearing the reputation, he looked over and found that it was Qi Ze holding the reins of the horse with one hand, staring fixedly at the man who had escaped from the palace.
"Shaoyi."
"Chaoyang, you and the second brother deal with these soldiers, I'll go and chase Yuxi back." After finishing speaking, Qi Ze caught up with the horse's belly and chased after him.
Time passed quietly in this chase, and before they knew it, dusk had come, the two of them had already run out of the city, far away from the bustling residential areas, and everything in front of them seemed a little desolate.
The man who escaped from the palace was obviously very clear about the route distribution in this area. Seeing that the people behind him were still chasing him, he turned his horse slightly and ran towards another fork in the road.In front of this branch road is a forest that is rarely visited by people. There are many branches and it is easy to hide. Once the man entered, he could not find anyone.
Qi Ze followed behind, seeing the man enter this deep forest, under the glow of the sunset, everything was covered with a layer of brilliant blood red, which made one's heart sink.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Ze chased after him on his horse.Under the branches of many trees, Qi Ze kept lowering his body to avoid, while looking for the man.
Finally, she found the figure that was galloping forward.Riding a horse in the deep forest has too many obstacles, and it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up, so Qi Ze abandoned his horse and used light work to fly to the front of the man to intercept him.
Jiang Qi saw the woman in front of him with a cold and indifferent expression, he quickly tightened his reins and stopped.
"Qi Ze?"
"Jiang Qi, return Yuxi." Qi Ze said coldly.
"Heh." Jiang Qi closed his eyes and smiled, "This subordinate is just following the holy order and doing his own task. Please also ask Mr. Qi Shilang to put him on the next horse and let him pass by."
"Jiang Qi, you do your task, and I do my job. We have nothing to talk about. If Commander Jiang refuses to give it, then I will have to grab it." Although Jiang Qi treated each other politely, Qi Ze didn't like this either.
"Why is this so, Lord Qi Shilang. There is no hatred between us, and I don't want to waste time fighting with Lord Qi Shilang here." Jiang Qi talked about his conditions, "How about this, Lord Qi Shilang. Today you Let go of the next horse, and when the Holy Majesty wins tomorrow, I will say a word to protect the life of Lord Qi Shilang, and serve the Holy Majesty together with my subordinates."
Jiang Qi smiled sincerely, "No one can guarantee that His Royal Highness King Qin will win in the end. If His Royal Highness King Qin loses, Lord Qi Shilang, as Princess Qin, will also be doomed. It's better to let it go, and Lord Qi Shilang will win in the future." If you can save one life, why not do it?"
The woman in front of him looked unclear, and the man continued to persuade: "Master Qi Shilang, as a courtier, must understand the benefits of power and the importance of relying on him. Lord Qi Shilang is a woman, and the only person he can rely on in the court is His Highness King Qin. Then you Have you ever thought that one day His Royal Highness King of Qin despises you, finds other women, and deposes you as a courtier. At that time, Mr. Qi Shilang will be alone and have nothing, and it seems that only betrayal and death are waiting for you .”
The man's voice carried an invisible temptation, "If that's the case, then why do you want to work for him? You can get everything if you serve the Holy One, money, status, and even the feeling that you will never be betrayed. All of this, don't you think Qi Is it true that Master Shi Lang really doesn’t want it?”
"What's the use of what you've said so much?" The woman raised her head, her eyes were still calm, but there was a hint of softness in them, "That guy, he won't do that, after all he has to take I am the one who survived the redemption. From the first meeting to now, that guy has not changed. He has always been so annoying, but he is always the only one who treats me tenderly. Maybe it is not the protection of the Nanchu Bingfu that has kept me alive. , but I am looking forward to his arrival. In fact, from the first time we met, I like him the most, and until now, nothing has changed."
Jiang Qi stared blankly at the bright-eyed woman, and said with a chuckle, "Really? Did the divorce plan fail? I should have guessed it a long time ago. Since Qi Shilang doesn't intend to let it go, let's have a fight." Bar."
"I will accompany you to the end." Qi Ze drew out his long sword and looked directly at the other party.
Jiang Qi also jumped off his horse, drew his sword and faced the woman head-on.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Qi Ze knew in his heart that he should quickly grab the jade seal and send it to the palace in time, otherwise, the palace would be in chaos.
So Qi Ze didn't make any extra moves, just took the long sword and snatched it from the man's waist.
Jiang Qi also understood what Qi Ze was thinking, quickly dodged to the side, stood still, and started to fight back with his sword.
The martial arts of the two people are comparable, the sword light and sword shadow are extremely dangerous, the bright sword surface is glowing with a frightening cold light, and the crisp sound of the sword blades colliding together is particularly loud in the silent night.
"Master." Zhu Yu searched for the voice and the cold light of the weapon.
Seeing that there was one more person, Jiang Qi was a little distracted. Taking this opportunity, Qi Ze blocked Jiang Qi's attack with his right hand, quickly pulled out the cloth bag from his waist with his left hand, turned around and threw it to Zhu Yu.
"Zhu Yu, hurry back to the palace with Yuxi, so as not to cause chaos in the palace."
"Then master, you..."
"It's okay, this person is not easy to deal with, I'll deal with it, you hurry back to the palace." Qi Ze stopped Jiang Qi who wanted to chase Yuxi back, and said sharply.
"Yes." After Zhu Yu saluted, he left with Yuxi.
"Qi Shilang, you have fought against me many times, this time I will not show mercy." Jiang Qi's voice was sullen.
"Then Commander Jiang, come here, and we will have a showdown."
"Heh, it's my honor to be able to fight against the Minister of War of Southern Chu."
The two raised their weapons at the same time, making up their minds not to let each other go, and in the end it must be life and death.
The wind was strong, blowing on the treetops, making the leaves rustle.The winter night was cold and lonely, and there was no sound around, not even the sound of a bird could be heard.The shadows of the trees are whirling, and through the branches, you can see the full moon hanging in the sky with a cool breath.
Under the bright moonlight, the two fought fiercely in the woods, refusing to give in to each other.The cold light reflected by the moonlight on the sword surface hit the opponent's face, making people see the fierce eyes of both sides clearly.
It feels like I have been playing for a long time, and the stars in the sky are twinkling, indicating that it is already late at night.The two in the woods were exhausted, and it was just to see who could last till the end.
Qi Ze took a big step back, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with his fingers, he couldn't feel the hilt of the sword, his hands were cold and numb.At night in Beishuo in early winter, the air was very cold and dry, and the cold wind felt painful on the face.
The constant reminder of the pain in his left wrist urged Qi Ze to quickly end the battle. Looking at the man opposite, the man's chest heaved back and forth, and there was a burst of gasping. There were some wounds on his body, but he was still facing this situation cautiously. woman.
Jiang Qi jumped onto a tall and straight tree, stood firmly on the branch, and with the advantage of a very high altitude, with the help of the moonlight, he continuously shot hidden weapons at the woman on the ground.Qi Ze could only keep dodging and dodging, feeling her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest, the pain on her wrist stimulated and paralyzed her, she knew she couldn't delay any longer.Otherwise, she couldn't bear the pain and passed out.
In the end, Qi Ze decided to take the risk and put all his eggs in one basket. He also jumped onto the branch and kicked the man with his legs outstretched.
Jiang Qi also dodged in time, and when he turned his head, he saw the woman stabbing his chest with a sword. The man wanted to retreat but found that there was a thick tree trunk behind him.Helpless, the man had no choice but to jump off the tree, but the woman also caught up and pierced his chest with a sword.Due to the gravity of the falling, the blade stabbed a little deeper.
The woman seemed determined to kill him with a single blow with all her strength. She gritted her teeth tightly, clutched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed down fiercely.All this made the man unstoppable, and he couldn't help but suffocate.Just like that, the man suffered a fatal blow, the cold sword stabbed straight into his heart, and the chill spread throughout his body.He trembled, and the warm and sticky blood splashed out and splashed on the two of them and their faces.
The man fell hard to the ground, and the woman finally couldn't hold on anymore, she rolled to the ground a few times, fell to the side and passed out, holding tightly to the hilt of the broken sword.
The moonlight poured down and sprinkled on the woman's delicate and peaceful face, because the woman lay on the ground, this movement covered half of her face, vaguely as if she was holding a pipa to half cover her face when she saw her lover.Even with a broken sword in hand, the sense of peace and tranquility is so nostalgic.
The man turned his head to look at it with great difficulty at last, and he suddenly let out a helpless laugh, "From this point of view, you are just an ordinary woman, you don't look like a courtier. But who knows... you still died in the into your hands."
After finishing speaking, the man slightly tilted his head, lost his breath and died in this deep forest.
In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Yuanping was stunned for a moment when he saw the jade seal that Zhu Yu had sent back.
"Who knows, did Jiang Qi fail? Oh, Qi Ze is really capable, and he was able to defeat Jiang Qi." Emperor Yuan Ping was a little surprised, and then asked Que Yu: "Ye Lan, why do you insist on winning the throne?" , you don’t seem to be trying to regain your own honor.”
"Indeed, if it wasn't for you, maybe this king would never return to Beishuo." Que Yu put the jade seal representing the highest imperial power on the dragon chair, as if he really didn't care.
"Then why did you come back in the end? Is it just because of my persecution and life-saving?"
"Oh." Que Yu seemed to think of something and suddenly smiled helplessly, "It's because of that girl, because she has been bullied and ignored all her life, and I don't want her to marry my queen and be bullied by others, and I don't want her to be the queen. The courtier was bullied by others. If she wants to be a courtier, then the king seems to have to be the emperor." The man took a step forward, "This king came back to Beishuo again, on the one hand, to avenge you, on the other hand On the one hand, it’s for her, that’s all.”
"Is that so?" Emperor Yuan Ping, who was exhausted from beating in the middle of the night, supported his sword and stood up straight, "Qi Ze is coming to be my daughter-in-law, she is barely qualified." Yu, said: "But the contest between us is not over yet, only one of us can survive today."
Then, the middle-aged emperor attacked again with a sword, and fought Que Yu to the end, until he died.
But after all, he has lived for a long time, coupled with the daily affairs and exhausting worries of being an emperor, the body of the emperor who has controlled Beishuo for decades is no longer as good as before.He was immediately knocked back on the dragon pillar by the opponent, spitting blood.
"Sure enough, there are too many memorials to review, and I am used to being protected by others, but after fighting for a day and a half, this body can no longer support it." Emperor Yuan Ping couldn't help laughing at himself, "But I believe it will not be a problem to support it for a while."
Emperor Yuanping stood up with difficulty, and started a duel of internal forces with the young and vigorous son in front of him.The palms of the two gathered internal force and struck towards each other. For a moment, the father and son held palms against palms, and the powerful internal force brought up shook the entire Golden Temple to the point of collapse.
The huge movement also caused the ground to shake back and forth, but the two people standing on it were calm and calm as if they were walking on the ground.
Both of them jumped back, and Emperor Yuan Ping could no longer support himself and knelt down on the ground, his body already showing signs of weakness.He felt severe pain in his chest, his internal organs convulsed as if compressed, a large mouthful of blood flowed up uncontrollably, and finally spit it out.
"What, people are going to age and face death, and I can't escape from all of this." Emperor Yuan Ping looked at the big pool of blood on the golden ground and muttered to himself.
Seeing Que Yu approaching slowly, the proud and stubborn emperor put up his final resistance, stabbing the tip of the sword towards the chest of the person who came by with all his might.
This movement was so sudden that even Que Yu couldn't dodge it in time. He could only clamp the tip of the sword with his fingers, and secretly channeled his internal force to squeeze it hard.
The sharp sword broke in two, and Emperor Yuan Ping was also shocked and fell backwards.
When Que Yu was about to step forward to investigate the situation, the entire Golden Luan Hall collapsed unbearably. The huge stones on the top broke apart with thunder and thunder, and smashed to the ground with an irresistible force.
Seeing this, Que Yu lightly turned over and dodged in time.
In an instant, dust rose everywhere, and the loud noise disturbed the people who were fighting outside. This meant that the Golden Palace, which represented power and majesty, collapsed in half in front of everyone's eyes.
When the dust dissipated and everything calmed down, everyone only saw a young man in black armor holding a broken sword, looking at Emperor Yuan Ping who was crushed in the ruins in front of him, with a calm expression.
At this moment, the sky is already bright, and the morning light that symbolizes hope shines on these two people, as well as on the soldiers.
After Qi Che killed the last enemy soldier, Qin Palace won!
"You're still more like Nianzhen, not like Zhen at all." Emperor Yuan Ping narrated calmly with an air of wit.
Que Yu glanced at the dying Emperor Yuan Ping, and then at the world where the sky was clear and clear. He turned around and was about to leave, but a weak voice behind him stopped him.
"Yelan, does morality still exist in this world? Or has it died out long ago?"
The young man paused slightly, turned around and said, "I've always been there, Father."
Hearing the "Father Emperor" in a very light tone, Emperor Yuan Ping's eyes widened in shock, and a trace of father's softness flashed in his usually cold eyes.
"Is that so? It turns out...it's just that I forgot."
The brave and proud emperor finally closed his eyes, accepted the fact that he would grow old and die, and ended his sinful life.
Que Yu took one last look at his sad father who had a ridiculous obsession, bent down and sacrificed his broken sword in front of him, turned and left without hesitation.
Qi Ze quietly opened his eyes in the forest outside the city, and when he saw the dazzling sun that dazzled her, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands to cover his eyes.
"Has it dawned yet? The battle in the palace should be over, it's time to go back." Qi Ze struggled to get up while supporting the broken sword.
After taking a few deep breaths, this bloody, wounded woman staggered towards the palace.
When he finally came to the gate of the palace, he opened the door and looked around, and there were corpses in different shapes and forms scattered all over the ground.The blood meanders and flows into rivers, some of which have congealed and are exuding a disgusting bloody smell.
Qi Ze walked past the pile of corpses calmly, and didn't stop until the large open space in front of the Jinluan Hall.
Qi Jiajun and Ning Jiajun were all kneeling in front of them, and Qi Che and Ning Xiao at the front also knelt down to the ground with joy and submission in their eyes.
On the high platform in front of the Golden Luan Hall, a man is accepting the worship of the ten thousand ministers.Under the sunlight, the man's gorgeous and romantic facial features are even more handsome, as if the sun and dawn followed him.
Qi Ze was stunned for a moment, the vision in front of her eyes became blurred, and the pain in her body came again, making her almost faint on the ground.
Frowning tightly, the woman couldn't hold back anymore and fell to the ground, but fell into a warm embrace.The man's melodious and elegant scent of sandalwood smelled very pleasant and reassuring.
Before she fainted completely, she heard his uncontrollable excited and joyful voice.
"Little guy, we have a home."
(End of this chapter)
"Que Guang, did you kill your own son?" Qi Ze's voice sounded calm as usual, but there was a hint of deepness and unbelievability in it.
"Huh? I thought Shi Lang would be indifferent, after all, Shi Lang never meddles in other people's business." Emperor Yuan Ping sneered lightly.
"I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but your behavior is too disgusting."
"Hmph, disgusting? I was able to kill my wife and hunt down my son for more than ten years, but now I just killed my own son. Does this make Qi Shilang feel disgusted?" The emperor on the high platform slowly Walking down the steps, "I thought Shi Lang Qi already understood who I am."
Qi Ze just stared coldly at Emperor Yuan Ping, who was gradually walking down the steps, and seemed to be leisurely walking towards his only two remaining sons, without saying a word.
"Father..." Que Xian burst into tears instantly, his body shaking like a sieve, "I beg Father, please save my son's life."
Emperor Yuan Ping smiled and squatted down, stroking his son's tearful face with fatherly love, and said softly: "Xian'er is so obedient and never let me worry about it, how could I have the heart to kill you?" Then The tone turned cold, making people chill, "But Xian'er is so useless, how can you let me keep you?"
This beautiful and unparalleled face gradually approached, but in Que Xian's eyes, it looked like the evil ghost Shura who came to seek his life, his pupils reflected the lovingly smiling father, but his heart fell into an ice cave in despair.
With a click, Que Xian's neck snapped, and a fresh life was lost.
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Ping could even kill his favorite eldest son, Que Yi, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, was even more shocked, and quickly raised his head to look at his own father, Huang, who was smiling at him.
"Father." Although Que Yi's voice trembled slightly, it seemed much calmer.
"Yi'er, you are instigating Xian'er to force the palace to rebel, and you want to win the throne. I have to say, you have a bit of brains. But your mind is too active, and you don't have the courage to take responsibility for the whole country of Beishuo." Emperor Yuanping elegantly Kneeling down and facing Que Yi, "So, you can't afford the Beishuo throne, you are not suitable to be an emperor."
Que Yi, who was forced to kneel on the ground, looked at his biological father, the emperor, who was originally calm, and broke out completely when he heard Emperor Yuan Ping say that he was not suitable to be an emperor.
"A minister is not suitable to be an emperor, so is this idiot like Que Xian suitable? He just took the title of the eldest son, but he always overwhelmed us. Why should he? Father knows that he is stupid and incompetent, and can't take on the big responsibility. Why? I have to entrust him with all the government affairs of the court. Is it just because he is the eldest son? If this is the case, the minister will definitely do better than Que Xian, which proves that the minister is more suitable to be emperor than Que Xian .” Que Yi almost yelled these words frantically.
But Emperor Yuanping's face remained unchanged, he still smiled, and approached his face and said: "But Yi'er can't take on the heavy responsibility of Beishuo, let alone control the vast land of Beishuo. It's not the life of the emperor." While speaking, the emperor's hand also quietly came to Que Yi's neck, and with a sudden force, the person who could feel the beating of life disappeared instantly like a kite with a broken string.
Qi Ze, who watched all this quietly, remained silent.Until Concubine Li Gui stumbled to this place and cried out in grief when she saw Que Xian, who had no vitality and an earthy face.
"Que Guang, how can you do this. Xian'er is mediocre and incompetent, embarrassing, but how can you be cruel. This is your own son. Tiger poison is not easy to eat, but you even have your own son. I can't tolerate it. No wonder Ning Wan hates you so much and dismisses you. Que Guang, you are an animal. It's not that Ning Wan is not good enough for you, but that you are not good enough for Ning Wan."
Concubine Li staggered weakly and crawled to Que Xian's side, hugged Que Xian tightly in her arms and burst into tears: "Xian'er, Xian'er of my palace, you are dead, so what hope does the concubine mother have? Xian'er is good, mother and concubine are here to accompany Xian'er, we mothers will die together." Then she picked up a blood-stained sword and pointed it at her neck, the woman was full of despair for the future, her eyes Empty, he followed his precious son with all his strength.
Seeing that Emperor Yuanping's expression remained unchanged and he was indifferent, Qi Ze asked aloud, "Que Guang, what do you want? What is your ultimate goal? Could it be that killing all of your own sons is what you want to do?" something?"
"Heh, then I'll also ask Qi Shilang, was that what you were going to do when you exterminated your entire clan?" Emperor Yuan Ping turned around leisurely, facing Qi Ze and questioned.Before the other party answered, he went on to say: "If people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it. I believe Shi Lang Qi understands this truth."
The lonely Beishuo emperor who killed all his close relatives approached slowly, full of gloom and cruelty that had never appeared before. When he looked up at Qi Ze, the majesty in those dragon eyes remained the same, just more A layer of obsession that others cannot understand.
"Why do people age and why do they die? This question has been lingering in my mind since I personally killed my own father. People are born into the world according to the world and fate, but God does not People are not given a body and life that can last forever, and what awaits everyone is old, helpless and lonely death. It is very sad, you watch yourself grow up, with a vibrant young body, but you can only Watching myself grow old and useless, old and old, waiting for my own sons to grow up and bring me down. Everyone is born alone and grows old alone, and no one can die with you Take it, death will always be yours alone."
"In order to occupy the highest point of imperial power in my limited life, I have used everything I can use. My wife, son, father, brother. But none of these can stop old age from approaching, and my limited life will end one day So far. Back then, my father was dying on the hospital bed, his old and helpless appearance made me feel pitiful, and he was powerless to stop me even feeding him poison on the spot."
The emperor shook his head, "I don't want it, I don't want to be reduced to his situation, and be killed by my own son. In order to continue to maintain this glorious life where all the people are subject to the imperial power, I can only kill them There is no successor for the Beishuo royal family, so I don't have to be reduced to the position where the power is left behind, oppressed, and no one cares about it. I am the first son of the former emperor of Beishuo, and I am the proud son of heaven with a noble status. I will not allow myself to live a life of That kind of sad life is never allowed!"
Looking at the man who fell into obsessive madness, Qi Ze said lightly: "Everyone will die, no one's life will have meaning, the body will die one day, including thoughts, this is a law, no one can defy it So, Que Guang, you are an obsession. You killed all your close relatives just because of your ridiculous obsession, so in the end, you are also a pathetic person."
"Sad?" Emperor Yuan Ping looked at Qi Ze and smiled mockingly, "Qi Ze, aren't you also a sad person? Since you were born, you were kept in the dark by the Qi family, living in disregard and lies. In the end, you I had to kill all my close relatives myself, leaving you with endless sins. To a certain extent, you and I are essentially the same kind of people, and we are all sin-bearers."
The man laughed unscrupulously, but the woman was not sad, and her eyes were not as empty and gray as before. Instead, she looked up at the other party and said, "No, Que Guang, you and I are not the same kind of people in essence. You I choose to take the initiative to walk on this path full of sins. I am carrying endless sins, but I am willing to bear this sin and choose a path of redemption, a path with him. I have been looking for a quiet and peaceful place before, In fact, I have found it a long time ago, the place with him is the peaceful place I have always yearned for."
The woman's face said these words calmly, with a dazzling light in her eyes, which made people feel moved.
After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Yuanping couldn't help but chuckled and said, "It's really unpleasant to talk to you, a woman. You and I are not the same kind of people in essence. After you say that, it seems to be true." Then he raised his eyes and looked at The woman said, "Qi Ze, I ask you, what is the way of the world?"
Before Qi Ze could answer, Emperor Yuan Ping went on to say, "Your answer is not important, because after this battle, those who survived will be the way of the world." The emperor raised his sword and pointed at the woman, "Come on, let's fight together!" The battle is not over yet."
Qi Ze also straightened his arms by his side, held a sharp sword, looked at the opponent coldly, jumped forward and swung a blow, the movement was sharp and fast.
Emperor Yuan Ping easily blocked it with the blade of his sword, and said: "Qi Ze, your martial arts are not bad among my opponents, but you are still a bit inferior." The man swung his sword with all his strength to force the woman back, " I am not your useless former emperor of Southern Chu, I am an emperor who has controlled the entire Beishuo kingdom for decades, and has fought bloody battles for many years without defeat."
Qi Ze was shocked by this powerful internal force and retreated more than ten meters, even the long sword in his hand could still feel the aftershock.This Emperor Yuan Ping said the truth, she has fought against different enemies for decades, and she really has no chance of winning in front of him.He really deserves to be Que Yu's own father, and it's different when dealing with others. Although she doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage, in fact, his physical strength is far superior to hers, and she can feel that he didn't use all his strength to deal with her.
When she was exhausted, he took the opportunity to strike with all his strength, and her life came to an end.Now, she can only fight with him, and wait for him to show his flaws, and she may have a chance of winning.
After Qi Ze stood still, he stabilized his breath, faced the enemy in front of him and began to attack from multiple angles, trying to find his weak point.
But Emperor Yuan Ping also seemed to see what she was thinking, and said with a sneer, "Qi Ze, are you still struggling? You want to find my weakness, right? But unfortunately, I don't have a weakness, so you're doomed." It's over." After saying that, Emperor Yuan Ping released his own inner coercion, shaking Qi Ze tens of meters away and falling to the ground.
Feeling the pain scattered all over the body, even breathing was a little painful, she knew that what Emperor Yuan Ping said was true.Just now she deliberately tested from all sides, but she couldn't find a gap. Now that her physical strength is running out, facing such an enemy is really not ordinary.
When Qi Ze held the long sword and stood up straight weakly, before he could see clearly what was in his field of vision, he was hit hard on the face by a blow, which forced her to jump backwards until she felt like she was rolling on the ground. It took a long way to stop.
Knowing that Emperor Yuan Ping was going to be serious, Qi Ze didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, he quickly got up, stood up straight and fought back, so as to avoid being beaten back before he was ready again.
Shaking his head vigorously to clear his mind, he could see clearly, seeing that Emperor Yuan Ping had jumped up and slashed with his sword, Qi Ze immediately raised his sword sideways to resist.
"Qi Ze, I found that I like you more and more. It's a pity, I just can't understand you, I just want to kill you. You are not qualified to be my daughter-in-law." Emperor Yuan Ping pressed down on the sword , constantly putting pressure on the woman below.
Qi Ze also felt the heavy pressure rushing towards his whole body, making his body weaker and weaker, and his whole body wanted to be embedded in the soil.
In the end, the woman gritted her teeth fiercely, and slowly pushed back the sword that suppressed her with all her strength.Seeing that there was a slight sign of loosening, Qi Ze quickly turned his body, so that the entire sword above him inevitably swung towards the ground, stirring up layers of soil, and instantly, dust was everywhere.
Qi Ze, who hid aside, took a deep breath, trying to keep his breath steady, and Emperor Yuan Ping also attacked again.Because he was on the left, Qi Ze could only switch hands and hold the sword to resist quickly.But it was just this moment that made Qi Ze feel a sharp pain in his left hand. The injury from the martial arts competition with the Western Wei warriors in Southern Chu hadn't fully healed yet, and he didn't apply the medicine properly because of the busy government at that time, so the root cause of the disease finally fell.
Because of this blow, Qi Ze groaned in pain, and almost lost his grip on the long sword.
Emperor Yuan Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Is it your left hand? Have you ever been injured?" After finishing speaking, he attacked Qi Ze's sword with all his strength, and the powerful aftershock penetrated into his entire left hand like an electric current, making Qi Ze unable to bear it. Forced to let go of the pain.
Without Qi Ze's weapon protection, Emperor Yuan Ping became even more unscrupulous, and swung his hand with heavy internal force.After beating the man backwards, Emperor Yuan Ping also took the opportunity to grab Qi Ze's throat, and pushed the man against the wall of the Vermilion Palace not far behind him.
"Ah..." Qi Ze felt that his whole body was being restrained by him, and his hands were a little weak, trying to push away the iron arm that was choking his neck, but it was conceivable that it was useless.I just feel dizzy, the tip of my nose is sore, and the so-called breath of life seems to be passing from my body.
"Little sister." Qi Che finished off the enemy in front of him, and flew forward to rescue the restrained Qi Ze.
But Emperor Yuan Ping sent Qi Che flying to the other end with a sword force without turning his head. At the same time, Ning Xiao also flew forward waving a soft whip.
"Shaoyi."
Just as he was about to wrap the soft whip around Emperor Yuan Ping's arm that was holding Qi Ze, Emperor Yuan Ping didn't look at him, and his internal force shook Ning Xiao's body, causing the soft whip to come out of his hand.
"Qi Ze, no one can save you." Emperor Yuan Ping glanced at Qi Ze's injured left hand, thrust the tip of the sword into the flesh and blood of his left wrist, and said harshly: "Since the left hand is useless, then I will use it to save you." cut it for you."
Qi Ze was already trembling with pain, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, the arrogant pain of the cold and hard foreign body in the flesh was clearly visible, seeing that the blade of the sword was slowly tilted, and her left hand would be completely broken with just a little force.
Now that no one can save her, simply, Qi Ze gritted his teeth, moved his whole body forward, and his wrist slid from the tip of the sword to the handle of the sword.Immediately, the entire blade was stained with a layer of bright red blood.
When Emperor Yuan Ping was stunned, Qi Ze bent his knees sideways and hit Emperor Yuan Ping on the face with his knee.
Emperor Yuan Ping suffered from the pain, and immediately let go of the hand that clamped her neck, stepped back a few steps, and the hand holding the sword was also released.Qi Ze fell to the ground, knelt down on one knee, pulled out the long sword deeply embedded in her wrist and threw it aside.
The woman stood up straight as if she didn't feel the pain, and asked in a cold voice to Emperor Yuan Ping, who was also unarmed: "Que Guang, are you still fighting? I will accompany you to the end."
Emperor Yuan Ping also seemed to be tired of fighting, so he smiled and said: "Qi Ze, you are the first person who dared to hit me in the face. I am tired of fighting, and I don't want to fight against you anymore. I don't feel anything against a woman." It's disgraceful. It seems that the fight is about the same, and I will end this meaningless war now."
Emperor Yuanping made a gesture towards the sky, and in an instant, soldiers holding bows and arrows stood on the walls of the palace.All over the sky, the cold reflections of weapons were reflected in the pupils of the soldiers on Qi Ze's side, and the overwhelming sense of oppression was like an invisible boulder pressing on the hearts of the soldiers, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"There are a lot of people. It turns out that Que Guang laid an ambush here. It seems that we were wrong after all." Ning Xiao looked at the soldiers all over the wall and murmured hopelessly.
Qi Che covered his chest, which was feeling slightly tight, and said pantingly, "It's no wonder that the Beishuo army trained by Que Guang himself was all in ambush here, waiting for us to catch them all when we were exhausted."
Qi Ze stared at these extremely oppressive soldiers with deep eyes, and chuckled lightly.As expected of Emperor Yuan Ping, who was good at calculating and planning, she still kept a hand, but she made a mistake.
"What should we do? Now that we are exhausted, it is impossible to resist." Qi Che said after analyzing the current situation.
"Shao Yi." Ning Xiao looked at Qi Ze, worried.
"Qi Ze, have you conceded defeat?" Emperor Yuan Ping held another sword again, stood on the high platform in front of the Jinluan Hall, put his hands on the hilt and stood in front of him, "It seems that I won today, and this chess game is mine. Finally won."
Qi Ze's face was indifferent, and he said firmly: "No, you haven't won yet. I haven't died, and the soldiers haven't given up, so I haven't lost."
"Heh, do you still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"
Qi Ze smiled faintly, "We haven't all the people from Prince Qin's Mansion, how do you know we will lose in the end?"
Emperor Yuan Ping sneered, and the corner of his mouth was full of deep meaning: "Are you still waiting for Yelan to come back? I can tell you that Yelan is at the border and won't come back for a while."
"No, he will come back." The woman's eyes were full of determination.
"Oh, then you go underground and wait for him." Emperor Yuan Ping waved his hand, and soldiers all over the sky raised their bows and arrows one after another, and in an instant, they were able to faintly cover the sun in the sky.
All the soldiers below were nervously waiting to die, and Qi Che and Ning Xiao also gave up their last hope, as if they could already see countless arrows piercing their bodies.
"what--"
But at this moment, another group of soldiers suddenly appeared behind the soldiers all over the wall, and cut off the heads of the soldiers in front with a sharp knife.
Emperor Yuan Ping was slightly taken aback, and Qi Che and the others also had a hint of surprise in their hearts.
Seeing this, Qi Ze was completely relieved, knowing that she had waited.
Because of the intense pain in his wrist, Qi Ze became unconscious for a while, his head became dizzy, and the scene in front of him also shook slightly and blurred a few times.He wanted to pick up a weapon to resist, but as soon as he squatted down, his eyes went dark, and he wanted to fall to the ground.
At this time, a pair of arms caught her and made her fall into a warm embrace.The man caressed her back, kissed her forehead lightly, breathed steadily, and said softly with unconcealed joy: "Little guy, the king has come back."
"You bastard, if you come a moment later, I won't wait for you anymore." The woman responded in a hoarse voice.
"Heh." Que Yu smiled softly, and teased, "Is my Lord Qi Shilang angry?"
Seeing that it was this time, and this man was still making fun of her here, the woman blushed slightly and shouted: "Que Yu."
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." The man picked up a sword and put it in the woman's hand, and asked, "Can you still hold it?"
"No problem." Qi Ze raised his sword for support and stood up straight. His spirit had recovered a little. "It's no problem to kill a few more enemies."
Que Yu looked at the woman with a calm expression, and understood that she had a stubborn personality, and it would be impossible for her to step back and rest, so he could only sigh slightly and said, "Well, I will go to the palace to deal with the emperor's son, and you stay outside the palace. "
Qi Ze nodded, and Que Yu also went to face Emperor Yuan Ping directly to settle the hatred of more than ten years ago.
At this time, Emperor Yuanping had retreated into the hall, still standing in front of him with his arms on the hilt of his sword, full of dragon power.Zheng smiled with the corners of his lips curled up as he watched his son, who most resembled him, walk into the hall step by step, and formally started the contest between the two of them with him.
"Yelan, welcome back. I didn't expect you to suppress the local forces so quickly. This has exceeded my expectations."
Que Yu stood in front of the emperor, with the corners of his mouth curled up, with a relaxed expression, "Aren't you very disappointed that this king suppressed the local forces you worked so hard to cultivate so quickly?"
"Oh, I can't say I'm disappointed, but there are still accidents." Emperor Yuan Ping tilted his head slightly, and looked at his own son coldly, "If you don't come back, then this battle will be too boring."
Que Yu also understood the meaning expressed by Emperor Yuan Ping, restrained his cynical expression and began to look serious, "Everyone knows that compromises and concessions are only needed during negotiations, but what we need now is..."
"It's a duel!" Emperor Yuan Ping took the words, and the father and son tacitly lowered their eyes, released all their aura, and started the final duel after more than ten years.
The situation outside the palace was reversed because of Que Yu's timely return. Most of the soldiers on the palace wall were beheaded, and a small number of them escaped by jumping over the wall in time and survived.The army brought by Que Yu, together with the Qi family army and the Ning family army, was exactly equal to the Beishuo army and palace guards carefully trained by Emperor Yuan Ping.
Although Qi Ze was injured, but fortunately he had strong endurance, and he could wield a sword with one hand to wantonly kill among the soldiers so that the enemy could not get close.
Although Qi Che suffered a blow and his chest was tight and painful, but fortunately he practiced martial arts frequently, his physical fitness was excellent, and he was used to bumps and bumps, so he was more than enough to deal with these soldiers.
As soon as Ning Xiao threw out the soft whip and threw a group of soldiers to the ground, there was a soldier behind him with a sword and slashed at their heads.Sensing the danger, the woman turned around and fought back with all her strength, but the attack speed was too fast to swing the whip in time. Just as she was about to cut the woman's head, an arrow pierced the wind and hit the enemy's back.
The woman was out of danger, looked in the direction of the arrow, and found that Ning Mu was holding on to the bow, with one arm raised in the air and still maintaining the archery posture.Seeing Ning Xiao looking over, Ning Mu's eyes were panicked, and he turned away at a loss, hiding among the crowd.
The girl in red stared blankly at her father's back, and did not recover until the enemy attacked with weapons, and continued to join the battle.
The two people in the hall are fighting a duel, and the fight is inseparable, and it is difficult to tell who is superior for a while.
Emperor Yuan Ping looked at his son whom he hadn't seen in more than ten years in surprise, and said with a leisurely smile, "Ye Lan has really grown up, and even the Emperor Father can't defeat you for a while with all his strength. It can be said that you are really a tiger father." No dog."
"Que Guang, don't compare you with this king. When you killed your mother, there was no father-son relationship between us." Que Yu immediately retorted.
"Really? But among all the princes, you are the one who resembles me the most. No matter in terms of appearance or means, you are undoubtedly a true successor to me." Emperor Yuan Ping turned back and jumped slightly, Falling steadily to the ground, he looked at Que Yu and deliberately provoked him.
But Que Yu's expression didn't change at all, he just said indifferently: "My son, your low-end aggressive method is useless to this king, you should use it on others."
Seeing Que Yu's words punctured him, Emperor Yuan Ping didn't feel embarrassed, but said with a light smile: "That Ye Lan, are you sure that you will win in the end? If you want to defeat your father and inherit the throne in the end, then the throne must be yours." Is this yours?"
Looking at the sinister and cunning Emperor Yuan Ping with a deep meaning in front of him, Que Yu glanced outside the hall, knowing in his heart that Emperor Yuan Ping's capable subordinate Jiang Qi was not here, and he was probably sent to have other tasks.
Que Yu stared at Emperor Yuanping, and said slowly: "It's Yuxi, you let Jiang Qi abscond with Yuxi."
"That's right, even if I lose, but after I escape and enter the capital again, the throne will still belong to me." Emperor Yuan Ping looked at the indifferent Que Yu with a sneer, and continued: "So even Yelan won the throne, without the jade seal, Yelan still can't sit on the throne, and he is still not Beishuo's new emperor."
"Is that so? Emperor's son, I have to say that you are thoughtful enough, but..." Que Yu raised the corners of his mouth with certainty, "Can Jiang Qi really escape? It's too late for you to draw conclusions now." morning."
After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Yuan Ping understood what Que Yu was thinking, "You mean Qi Ze?" Emperor Yuan Ping sneered, "Oh, just rely on her? A woman? Yelan, you put your hope in a woman, this idea It's so funny."
"No." Que Yu firmly retorted, "With her watching outside, everything will be safe and sound."
Emperor Yuan Ping stared blankly at Que Yu, speechless for a while.
At this time, Jiang Qi was riding a steed, with a cloth bag pinned to his waist. From the square and blunt lines drawn on the cloth bag, it can be seen that it contained the jade seal.
The man held the reins with his hands, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards the gate of the palace.
The neighing of the horse attracted Qi Che's attention, and just when he was about to figure out what was going on, he saw the cloth bag on Jiang Qi's waist. The strange but familiar lines made Qi Che startled, thinking deeply about what it was.
After a long time, Qi Che shouted: "Stop him quickly, he has a jade seal on him."
At this time, Jiang Qi had already left in the dust, only a short distance away from the gate of the palace, and the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, but they could not stop the galloping hooves of the fast horse.
Seeing that Jiang Qi was about to escape from the palace, Ning Xiao panicked and swung his long whip to entangle the cloth bag.But the man on the horse was extremely sensitive. When the long whip was wrapped around the cloth bag, the man shot the sleeve arrow on his arm and pushed Ning Xiao back.
Ning Xiao ducked back and knelt down on one knee, looking dazed and flustered at the thrown soft whip on the ground, when she heard the neighing of a horse again.
Hearing the reputation, he looked over and found that it was Qi Ze holding the reins of the horse with one hand, staring fixedly at the man who had escaped from the palace.
"Shaoyi."
"Chaoyang, you and the second brother deal with these soldiers, I'll go and chase Yuxi back." After finishing speaking, Qi Ze caught up with the horse's belly and chased after him.
Time passed quietly in this chase, and before they knew it, dusk had come, the two of them had already run out of the city, far away from the bustling residential areas, and everything in front of them seemed a little desolate.
The man who escaped from the palace was obviously very clear about the route distribution in this area. Seeing that the people behind him were still chasing him, he turned his horse slightly and ran towards another fork in the road.In front of this branch road is a forest that is rarely visited by people. There are many branches and it is easy to hide. Once the man entered, he could not find anyone.
Qi Ze followed behind, seeing the man enter this deep forest, under the glow of the sunset, everything was covered with a layer of brilliant blood red, which made one's heart sink.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Ze chased after him on his horse.Under the branches of many trees, Qi Ze kept lowering his body to avoid, while looking for the man.
Finally, she found the figure that was galloping forward.Riding a horse in the deep forest has too many obstacles, and it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up, so Qi Ze abandoned his horse and used light work to fly to the front of the man to intercept him.
Jiang Qi saw the woman in front of him with a cold and indifferent expression, he quickly tightened his reins and stopped.
"Qi Ze?"
"Jiang Qi, return Yuxi." Qi Ze said coldly.
"Heh." Jiang Qi closed his eyes and smiled, "This subordinate is just following the holy order and doing his own task. Please also ask Mr. Qi Shilang to put him on the next horse and let him pass by."
"Jiang Qi, you do your task, and I do my job. We have nothing to talk about. If Commander Jiang refuses to give it, then I will have to grab it." Although Jiang Qi treated each other politely, Qi Ze didn't like this either.
"Why is this so, Lord Qi Shilang. There is no hatred between us, and I don't want to waste time fighting with Lord Qi Shilang here." Jiang Qi talked about his conditions, "How about this, Lord Qi Shilang. Today you Let go of the next horse, and when the Holy Majesty wins tomorrow, I will say a word to protect the life of Lord Qi Shilang, and serve the Holy Majesty together with my subordinates."
Jiang Qi smiled sincerely, "No one can guarantee that His Royal Highness King Qin will win in the end. If His Royal Highness King Qin loses, Lord Qi Shilang, as Princess Qin, will also be doomed. It's better to let it go, and Lord Qi Shilang will win in the future." If you can save one life, why not do it?"
The woman in front of him looked unclear, and the man continued to persuade: "Master Qi Shilang, as a courtier, must understand the benefits of power and the importance of relying on him. Lord Qi Shilang is a woman, and the only person he can rely on in the court is His Highness King Qin. Then you Have you ever thought that one day His Royal Highness King of Qin despises you, finds other women, and deposes you as a courtier. At that time, Mr. Qi Shilang will be alone and have nothing, and it seems that only betrayal and death are waiting for you .”
The man's voice carried an invisible temptation, "If that's the case, then why do you want to work for him? You can get everything if you serve the Holy One, money, status, and even the feeling that you will never be betrayed. All of this, don't you think Qi Is it true that Master Shi Lang really doesn’t want it?”
"What's the use of what you've said so much?" The woman raised her head, her eyes were still calm, but there was a hint of softness in them, "That guy, he won't do that, after all he has to take I am the one who survived the redemption. From the first meeting to now, that guy has not changed. He has always been so annoying, but he is always the only one who treats me tenderly. Maybe it is not the protection of the Nanchu Bingfu that has kept me alive. , but I am looking forward to his arrival. In fact, from the first time we met, I like him the most, and until now, nothing has changed."
Jiang Qi stared blankly at the bright-eyed woman, and said with a chuckle, "Really? Did the divorce plan fail? I should have guessed it a long time ago. Since Qi Shilang doesn't intend to let it go, let's have a fight." Bar."
"I will accompany you to the end." Qi Ze drew out his long sword and looked directly at the other party.
Jiang Qi also jumped off his horse, drew his sword and faced the woman head-on.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Qi Ze knew in his heart that he should quickly grab the jade seal and send it to the palace in time, otherwise, the palace would be in chaos.
So Qi Ze didn't make any extra moves, just took the long sword and snatched it from the man's waist.
Jiang Qi also understood what Qi Ze was thinking, quickly dodged to the side, stood still, and started to fight back with his sword.
The martial arts of the two people are comparable, the sword light and sword shadow are extremely dangerous, the bright sword surface is glowing with a frightening cold light, and the crisp sound of the sword blades colliding together is particularly loud in the silent night.
"Master." Zhu Yu searched for the voice and the cold light of the weapon.
Seeing that there was one more person, Jiang Qi was a little distracted. Taking this opportunity, Qi Ze blocked Jiang Qi's attack with his right hand, quickly pulled out the cloth bag from his waist with his left hand, turned around and threw it to Zhu Yu.
"Zhu Yu, hurry back to the palace with Yuxi, so as not to cause chaos in the palace."
"Then master, you..."
"It's okay, this person is not easy to deal with, I'll deal with it, you hurry back to the palace." Qi Ze stopped Jiang Qi who wanted to chase Yuxi back, and said sharply.
"Yes." After Zhu Yu saluted, he left with Yuxi.
"Qi Shilang, you have fought against me many times, this time I will not show mercy." Jiang Qi's voice was sullen.
"Then Commander Jiang, come here, and we will have a showdown."
"Heh, it's my honor to be able to fight against the Minister of War of Southern Chu."
The two raised their weapons at the same time, making up their minds not to let each other go, and in the end it must be life and death.
The wind was strong, blowing on the treetops, making the leaves rustle.The winter night was cold and lonely, and there was no sound around, not even the sound of a bird could be heard.The shadows of the trees are whirling, and through the branches, you can see the full moon hanging in the sky with a cool breath.
Under the bright moonlight, the two fought fiercely in the woods, refusing to give in to each other.The cold light reflected by the moonlight on the sword surface hit the opponent's face, making people see the fierce eyes of both sides clearly.
It feels like I have been playing for a long time, and the stars in the sky are twinkling, indicating that it is already late at night.The two in the woods were exhausted, and it was just to see who could last till the end.
Qi Ze took a big step back, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with his fingers, he couldn't feel the hilt of the sword, his hands were cold and numb.At night in Beishuo in early winter, the air was very cold and dry, and the cold wind felt painful on the face.
The constant reminder of the pain in his left wrist urged Qi Ze to quickly end the battle. Looking at the man opposite, the man's chest heaved back and forth, and there was a burst of gasping. There were some wounds on his body, but he was still facing this situation cautiously. woman.
Jiang Qi jumped onto a tall and straight tree, stood firmly on the branch, and with the advantage of a very high altitude, with the help of the moonlight, he continuously shot hidden weapons at the woman on the ground.Qi Ze could only keep dodging and dodging, feeling her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest, the pain on her wrist stimulated and paralyzed her, she knew she couldn't delay any longer.Otherwise, she couldn't bear the pain and passed out.
In the end, Qi Ze decided to take the risk and put all his eggs in one basket. He also jumped onto the branch and kicked the man with his legs outstretched.
Jiang Qi also dodged in time, and when he turned his head, he saw the woman stabbing his chest with a sword. The man wanted to retreat but found that there was a thick tree trunk behind him.Helpless, the man had no choice but to jump off the tree, but the woman also caught up and pierced his chest with a sword.Due to the gravity of the falling, the blade stabbed a little deeper.
The woman seemed determined to kill him with a single blow with all her strength. She gritted her teeth tightly, clutched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed down fiercely.All this made the man unstoppable, and he couldn't help but suffocate.Just like that, the man suffered a fatal blow, the cold sword stabbed straight into his heart, and the chill spread throughout his body.He trembled, and the warm and sticky blood splashed out and splashed on the two of them and their faces.
The man fell hard to the ground, and the woman finally couldn't hold on anymore, she rolled to the ground a few times, fell to the side and passed out, holding tightly to the hilt of the broken sword.
The moonlight poured down and sprinkled on the woman's delicate and peaceful face, because the woman lay on the ground, this movement covered half of her face, vaguely as if she was holding a pipa to half cover her face when she saw her lover.Even with a broken sword in hand, the sense of peace and tranquility is so nostalgic.
The man turned his head to look at it with great difficulty at last, and he suddenly let out a helpless laugh, "From this point of view, you are just an ordinary woman, you don't look like a courtier. But who knows... you still died in the into your hands."
After finishing speaking, the man slightly tilted his head, lost his breath and died in this deep forest.
In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Yuanping was stunned for a moment when he saw the jade seal that Zhu Yu had sent back.
"Who knows, did Jiang Qi fail? Oh, Qi Ze is really capable, and he was able to defeat Jiang Qi." Emperor Yuan Ping was a little surprised, and then asked Que Yu: "Ye Lan, why do you insist on winning the throne?" , you don’t seem to be trying to regain your own honor.”
"Indeed, if it wasn't for you, maybe this king would never return to Beishuo." Que Yu put the jade seal representing the highest imperial power on the dragon chair, as if he really didn't care.
"Then why did you come back in the end? Is it just because of my persecution and life-saving?"
"Oh." Que Yu seemed to think of something and suddenly smiled helplessly, "It's because of that girl, because she has been bullied and ignored all her life, and I don't want her to marry my queen and be bullied by others, and I don't want her to be the queen. The courtier was bullied by others. If she wants to be a courtier, then the king seems to have to be the emperor." The man took a step forward, "This king came back to Beishuo again, on the one hand, to avenge you, on the other hand On the one hand, it’s for her, that’s all.”
"Is that so?" Emperor Yuan Ping, who was exhausted from beating in the middle of the night, supported his sword and stood up straight, "Qi Ze is coming to be my daughter-in-law, she is barely qualified." Yu, said: "But the contest between us is not over yet, only one of us can survive today."
Then, the middle-aged emperor attacked again with a sword, and fought Que Yu to the end, until he died.
But after all, he has lived for a long time, coupled with the daily affairs and exhausting worries of being an emperor, the body of the emperor who has controlled Beishuo for decades is no longer as good as before.He was immediately knocked back on the dragon pillar by the opponent, spitting blood.
"Sure enough, there are too many memorials to review, and I am used to being protected by others, but after fighting for a day and a half, this body can no longer support it." Emperor Yuan Ping couldn't help laughing at himself, "But I believe it will not be a problem to support it for a while."
Emperor Yuanping stood up with difficulty, and started a duel of internal forces with the young and vigorous son in front of him.The palms of the two gathered internal force and struck towards each other. For a moment, the father and son held palms against palms, and the powerful internal force brought up shook the entire Golden Temple to the point of collapse.
The huge movement also caused the ground to shake back and forth, but the two people standing on it were calm and calm as if they were walking on the ground.
Both of them jumped back, and Emperor Yuan Ping could no longer support himself and knelt down on the ground, his body already showing signs of weakness.He felt severe pain in his chest, his internal organs convulsed as if compressed, a large mouthful of blood flowed up uncontrollably, and finally spit it out.
"What, people are going to age and face death, and I can't escape from all of this." Emperor Yuan Ping looked at the big pool of blood on the golden ground and muttered to himself.
Seeing Que Yu approaching slowly, the proud and stubborn emperor put up his final resistance, stabbing the tip of the sword towards the chest of the person who came by with all his might.
This movement was so sudden that even Que Yu couldn't dodge it in time. He could only clamp the tip of the sword with his fingers, and secretly channeled his internal force to squeeze it hard.
The sharp sword broke in two, and Emperor Yuan Ping was also shocked and fell backwards.
When Que Yu was about to step forward to investigate the situation, the entire Golden Luan Hall collapsed unbearably. The huge stones on the top broke apart with thunder and thunder, and smashed to the ground with an irresistible force.
Seeing this, Que Yu lightly turned over and dodged in time.
In an instant, dust rose everywhere, and the loud noise disturbed the people who were fighting outside. This meant that the Golden Palace, which represented power and majesty, collapsed in half in front of everyone's eyes.
When the dust dissipated and everything calmed down, everyone only saw a young man in black armor holding a broken sword, looking at Emperor Yuan Ping who was crushed in the ruins in front of him, with a calm expression.
At this moment, the sky is already bright, and the morning light that symbolizes hope shines on these two people, as well as on the soldiers.
After Qi Che killed the last enemy soldier, Qin Palace won!
"You're still more like Nianzhen, not like Zhen at all." Emperor Yuan Ping narrated calmly with an air of wit.
Que Yu glanced at the dying Emperor Yuan Ping, and then at the world where the sky was clear and clear. He turned around and was about to leave, but a weak voice behind him stopped him.
"Yelan, does morality still exist in this world? Or has it died out long ago?"
The young man paused slightly, turned around and said, "I've always been there, Father."
Hearing the "Father Emperor" in a very light tone, Emperor Yuan Ping's eyes widened in shock, and a trace of father's softness flashed in his usually cold eyes.
"Is that so? It turns out...it's just that I forgot."
The brave and proud emperor finally closed his eyes, accepted the fact that he would grow old and die, and ended his sinful life.
Que Yu took one last look at his sad father who had a ridiculous obsession, bent down and sacrificed his broken sword in front of him, turned and left without hesitation.
Qi Ze quietly opened his eyes in the forest outside the city, and when he saw the dazzling sun that dazzled her, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands to cover his eyes.
"Has it dawned yet? The battle in the palace should be over, it's time to go back." Qi Ze struggled to get up while supporting the broken sword.
After taking a few deep breaths, this bloody, wounded woman staggered towards the palace.
When he finally came to the gate of the palace, he opened the door and looked around, and there were corpses in different shapes and forms scattered all over the ground.The blood meanders and flows into rivers, some of which have congealed and are exuding a disgusting bloody smell.
Qi Ze walked past the pile of corpses calmly, and didn't stop until the large open space in front of the Jinluan Hall.
Qi Jiajun and Ning Jiajun were all kneeling in front of them, and Qi Che and Ning Xiao at the front also knelt down to the ground with joy and submission in their eyes.
On the high platform in front of the Golden Luan Hall, a man is accepting the worship of the ten thousand ministers.Under the sunlight, the man's gorgeous and romantic facial features are even more handsome, as if the sun and dawn followed him.
Qi Ze was stunned for a moment, the vision in front of her eyes became blurred, and the pain in her body came again, making her almost faint on the ground.
Frowning tightly, the woman couldn't hold back anymore and fell to the ground, but fell into a warm embrace.The man's melodious and elegant scent of sandalwood smelled very pleasant and reassuring.
Before she fainted completely, she heard his uncontrollable excited and joyful voice.
"Little guy, we have a home."
