Han Tianxiao was a little surprised when he heard that the swordsmanship of the two people in the palace came from Beigong Liancheng.
"Before the Sword God became a Grand Master, he competed with many people in swordsmanship. After that, his swordsmanship became divine. Naturally, many people secretly pondered the swordsmanship back then." Colonel Wuqu said in a low voice: "I also pondered for a long time about those swordsmanships. In fact... it's quite ordinary." He stared at the palace, his voice still filled with surprise: "The swordsmanship of the Duke and Xiao Shaozong has the shadow of the swordsman's swordsmanship back then, but... but it's a little different."
Han Tianxiao wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard an exclamation from the side, and then heard a loud "ding-ding-ding" sound in the hall. He looked over from a distance, his face changed color, and he saw Xiao Shaozong turned into three figures at some point, It was as if three people were attacking Qining at the same time.
Han Tianxiao knew that this kind of phantom transformation technique did exist in the martial arts world, but it did not actually turn one person into several people, but rather caused hallucinations in people's vision at a speed that exceeded that of ordinary people.
Xiao Shaozong obviously knew how to transform into a shadow, and when he used it now, the threat greatly increased.
Although Qi Ning could not transform into multiple figures, he was changing his body with Xiaoyao Xing at this moment. Everyone outside the palace was stunned for a moment. They certainly did not expect that Qi Ning's martial arts would be so terrifying, and they never expected that Xiao Shaozong's martial arts would be like this. Sensational.
In the main hall, figures were erratic and sword lights were flying.
Xue Lingfeng stood in front of Longtai, fearing that the emperor would make some mistake.
No one could see clearly the sword moves of the two men anymore, or even the figures of the two men. They could only see blurry shadows intertwined together.
While everyone was in shock, the hall suddenly became silent, and the dazzling figure also stopped moving. Everything stopped extremely suddenly, without any warning, just like a horse running at high speed on the grassland, but suddenly... He was frozen and unable to move.
Everyone saw that Qi Ning and Xiao Shaozong were standing opposite each other, and their swords had penetrated each other's body.
Two figures emerged from the crowd, one was Ximen Zhanying, and the other was Chi Danmei who had been among the crowd. These two people suddenly rushed into the hall. Others wanted to rush in, but Xue Lingfeng raised her hand. He shouted: "Don't act rashly!"
Ximen Zhanying and Chi Danmei arrived in the palace, their beautiful faces were full of fear. Before they even got close to Qining, Qining had already raised his hand to signal them not to get close. The two stopped and looked at each other. , all very anxious.
Xiao Shaozong lowered his head and saw Qi Ning's long sword piercing his heart. He looked up again and looked at his own sword. Although it pierced Qi Ning's body, it was not even close to his heart.
"After all, I couldn't beat you!" Xiao Shaozong sighed, let go of his hand, and took two steps back. The sword left his heart, and blood immediately poured out of his heart. A look of loneliness appeared on his face, and he sighed softly. : "Sword training also requires talent. My talent still seems not as good as yours."
"Why... do you use this set of swordsmanship?" Qi Ning allowed Xiao Shaozong's Emperor's Sword to stab his chest.
Xiao Shaozong turned around and walked towards the Jinluan Palace. After only taking a few steps, he staggered and fell to the ground when he reached the steps of the Jinluan Palace.
But he didn't stop there. He climbed up the steps, but it was extremely difficult. Longtai's face was stern and he said in a cold voice: "Get him!"
When Xue Lingfeng saw Xiao Shaozong's appearance, he knew that there was no big threat anymore. He waved his hand and rushed forward first, followed closely by dozens of armored warriors who swarmed in.
Ximen Zhanying and Chi Danmei both ran towards Qi Ning at this time. After running for a few steps, Chi Danmei still stopped. Ximen Zhanying ran to Qi Ning, tears already falling, and supported Qi Ning: " You...how are you?"
"Help me sit down!" Qining forced a smile and said: "My chest... my chest hurts!"
Ximen Zhanying carefully helped Qi Ning sit on the ground. He saw Tianzi's sword inserted into Qining's chest, but did not dare to pull it out. Qining's face was a little pale. Seeing Ximen Zhanying's tears pouring down like rain, he chuckled and said: "Don't cry, it's just a small injury, nothing will happen!"
After all, Xiao Shaozong was unable to continue climbing up.
Qi Ning's sword hit his heart. Anyone else would have been unable to hold on. Xiao Shaozong used his internal strength to hold on, but the heart was not an ordinary place after all. If the blood and energy could not flow smoothly, his energy would not be used. He shook his head dejectedly and turned around. , reluctantly sat on the steps and murmured: "It seems very close, but it is still too far after all."
Xue Lingfeng led the troops to rush forward and surrounded Xiao Shaozong. Dozens of spears were pointed at Xiao Shaozong. As long as Xue Lingfeng gave the order, he could immediately poke Xiao Shaozong into a hedgehog.
Longtai finally walked to the main hall at this time. Han Tianxiao and others were still guarding him. Longtai walked to Qining, squatted down, and asked: "Is the injury serious?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. There are no serious injuries and your life is not in danger."
Longtai nodded, stood up, and glanced at Xiao Shaozong, but did not come closer. He lowered his head and remained silent. Xue Lingfeng turned around and looked at Longtai, waiting for Longtai's order.
Qi Ning knew that at this point, Xiao Shaozong had no reason to live. Even if Longtai didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to survive if his heart was pierced.
After a moment, Longtai raised his head and nodded to Xue Lingfeng. Xue Lingfeng was waiting for an order when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from behind. He saw Xiao Shaozong using his last bit of strength to throw himself forward and hit himself. On top of several spears.
Qining's body trembled, but Longtai raised his hand and stretched it out, as if he wanted to grab something, but finally slowly pulled it back, his body trembling slightly.
"I want to die... so I will. You... can't kill me!" Blood overflowed from the corners of Xiao Shaozong's lips, but with a sarcastic smile, he finally dropped his head and died.
There was a sudden silence in the main hall.
Qi Ning knew that Xiao Shaozong's last words were not wrong.
At that time, the imperial city was in chaos. With Xiao Shaozong's martial arts, if he really wanted to leave, he could take advantage of the chaos and escape, and no one could catch him.
But he chose Chengtian Palace and advanced instead of retreating. When he came to Chengtian Palace, he was ready to die.
Qi Ning can understand Xiao Shaozong's thoughts.
Xiao Shaozong had been planning hard for many years. This time he launched an attack and the throne was almost within reach, but he fell short and was completely defeated.
For Xiao Shaozong, this is the first time he takes action against the emperor, but it is also the last time. Xiao Shaozong's personality is to endure for many years, just for one blow. Once he misses, he will not think about the so-called "green hills", and after this Once defeated, Xiao Shaozong had almost no chance of making a comeback.
So he chose to come to the palace hall.
Rather than saying that Qi Ning pierced his heart with a sword, it is better to say that he wanted to die.
Even if you are going to die, you must die closest to the dragon throne.
Longtai closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and finally turned around slowly, his expression becoming extremely determined. Without any pause, he walked out of the hall, followed by a group of soldiers.
After leaving the main hall, Longtai continued to move forward. Wherever he passed, the soldiers on both sides knelt down. In the square in front of the hall, the mighty officials headed by Yuan Laoshang were crowded. When Longtai appeared, they all knelt down. On the ground, shouting long live.
Longtai looked up at the rising sun, which was shining brightly.
In the hall, Ximen Zhanying had already taken out the golden wound medicine from his body. He could apply it immediately after pulling out the long sword that had penetrated Qining's body. The golden wound medicine from Shenhou Mansion was extremely effective. When applied to the wound, it would naturally heal. Can quickly stop bleeding.
It's just that she used to be bold and brave, but now she went to hold the sword twice, but she couldn't bear to do it.
Chi Danmei, who was watching not far away, was anxious. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she came over, squatted down, and held the hilt of the sword. Ximen Zhanying was startled and said anxiously: "You... what are you going to do?"
"If you don't draw the sword for a long time, the injury will only get worse. Don't you even understand this?" Chi Danmei said to Qining without looking at her: "If I draw the sword now, there will be some pain. Please bear with it. Then he said to Ximen Zhanying: "After you pull out the sword, quickly apply the medicine on him. Don't delay!"
Ximen Zhanying nodded, but still worried: "Then you should be careful, don't...!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard Qining's "ouch" and Chi Danmei had already pulled out the sword neatly. When Ximen Zhanying saw the blood gushing out from Qining's chest, she didn't dare to delay. He tore open the skirt of Qining's chest and applied medicine to Qining quickly with his hands and feet.
After all, she has been practicing in the Shenhou Mansion for many years, and applying medicine is a must-learn subject for every official in the Shenhou Mansion.
Chi Danmei also saw that the wound was still a little far away from her heart, and it would not hurt her heart. She felt relieved and saw Ximen Zhanying carefully applying medicine to Qining, her red lips twitching slightly, but she didn't say anything after all, and stood up. Come, turn around and leave. Qi Ning understood Chi Danmei's mood at this time and wanted to stop him. However, thinking that this was in the palace hall and it was really not the time to talk about the love between children, Qi Ning sighed in his heart, but it was not good either. Show it.
Xue Lingfeng also came over at this time and bowed his hand to Qining. Qining said with a smile: "Thanks to Commander Xue for suppressing the rebellion!"
"If it weren't for the lord, the general would be helpless." Xue Lingfeng sighed: "Qu Xiaowei knew that everything was Xiao Shaozong's conspiracy, but in order to protect the safety of the emperor, he could only compromise. Xiao Shaozong sent him to assassinate the general. , he knew that Yan Lingxian had taken refuge with Xiao Shaozong and was an informant around him, so he secretly discussed with the general and deliberately staged a scene, using Yan Lingxian's mouth to convince Xiao Shaozong that the general was dead. The general pretended to be dead. After that, just wait for the opportunity to come before taking action.”
Qi Ning already knew that Qu Xiaocang's previous actions were all lies and subterfuge. He sighed softly. When I saw Lieutenant Qu, he...?"
"He and Yan Lingxian are both dead." Qi Ning said: "Qu Xiaowei sneaked into the palace alone the night before. He only thought that the emperor was under house arrest in the palace. He wanted to rescue the emperor, but he was ambushed...!"
Xue Lingfeng was startled, lowered her head, her expression was a little sad, but she didn't say much.
Qi Ning turned his gaze to the outside of the palace and saw Emperor Longtai bathing in the sun. He knew very well that although Xiao Shaozong was dead, the rebellion was not completely over. There would definitely be a crisis in the court next. With the market purge, many people's official careers may have come to an end.
