However, his martial arts skills were ordinary and he was far from the opponent of the old woman from Yuchi's family. He was also controlled by Yuchi Jiming, so in desperation, he actually directly ordered: "Why are you still standing there? This old woman is an important prisoner. How can we let him?" Escaped easily? Why don’t you catch her quickly?”
Qiu Yizhi, Yuchi Lianghong, and Yuchi Jiming actually didn't want to embarrass this old man who had made up his mind to retire to the world. After listening to Zheng Xin's order, they seemed to have ignored it and didn't take it to heart at all.
And the Yuchi old woman carried Wen Honghui's body like a leaf. Like a gust of black wind, she flew out of the window in the blink of an eye and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
When Zheng Xin saw this, he immediately said to Zheng Sen: "Second brother, you have seen that Qiu Yizhi and his two men from the Yuchi family colluded with people from the Tianzun cult. I will kill the leader of the cult, and they He didn't even want to capture one of his old ladies, which shows that there must be something wrong in his mind. Why don't the second brother capture him quickly and interrogate him carefully? "
After hearing this, Zheng Sen was indeed a little suspicious, but he also thought that his sworn brother had always acted differently and had never betrayed the emperor Zheng Rong. Maybe there was some mystery behind it.
So Zheng Sen slowly walked up to Qiu Yizhi and said to him with a serious face: "Yizhi, it's not that my second brother can't trust you, it's just that the situation here is too weird and it concerns the foundation of the world... You also know that your second brother My brother’s brain is not very good and he can’t figure out what’s right and wrong. We can only imprison you first, and then we can analyze it carefully after the uncle and the third brother of the King of Heluo arrive. ”
As soon as Zheng Sen finished speaking, he felt that the word "imprisonment" was too unpleasant, so he quickly changed his words: "Oh, I made a mistake just now, it was not 'imprisonment', but... but..." He couldn't think of anything. What other words should I use instead? After hesitating for a long time, I could only say, "Yizhi is a smart man. You know what my second brother means."
However, Qiu Yizhi didn't take it seriously and replied: "Of course I understand what the second brother means. It doesn't matter whether it's imprisonment, house arrest or surveillance. It's just that Zheng Xin and I are sworn enemies now. If I am put under supervision, he will But I am at ease, I am afraid that my life will be in danger in the blink of an eye.”
"Then what do you want?" Zheng Xin asked.
"Hmph! I want you to be imprisoned like me and not allowed to have contact with the outside world!" Qiu Yizhi said angrily, "Even if you and I are locked in the same cell, we can monitor each other!"
"No!" Zheng Xin said firmly, "I am the eldest son of the emperor, how can I suffer such humiliation?"
Now, everything outside the emperor's palace has been taken over by the soldiers and horses brought by Zheng Sen. With just one order, they can rush into the palace and capture or kill everyone present, so everyone cannot ignore his opinions.
Just listen to Zheng Sen ask: "Brother, I think what Yi Zhi said makes some sense. I dare not say that I am imprisoning my eldest brother, but I just want to ask my eldest brother to live somewhere temporarily. After the misunderstanding is clarified, how about we discuss it later?"
Zheng Xin stiffened his neck and said: "No. This is not because of my guilty conscience. Second brother, you might as well think about it. Now that the emperor has passed away, there is no king in the country, and the incident happened suddenly, so we cannot mourn suddenly. Even Master Zhongli was harmed by Qiu Yi. Dead. Under such circumstances, there are so many things that I need to take care of. If I were imprisoned, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos? "
This reason was so impeccable that Zheng Sen could not refute it and remained silent.
Qiu Yizhi said, "You can meet people or do things if you want, but you must be accompanied by your second brother or someone under me at all times, otherwise you are planning something evil!"
"Yes, yes." Zheng Sen was enlightened, "This is a good idea. It won't delay big brother's business, and it will also clear up suspicion. I think it's very good."
Of course Zheng Xin could not accept such a suggestion and changed the topic: "Qiu Yizhi, please say less. I just said that you and I will kill each other's cult leaders and witches to reveal our true intentions. Now I You have kept your promise and killed the thief Wen Honghui. Shouldn't you also kill this evil cult woman? If you can't even do this, why are you talking about spying on each other? "
This horizontal shot was indeed very powerful, and Qiu Yizhi, who was sharp-tongued, was immediately speechless.
Seeing this, Zheng Xin became even more proud, and then turned to Zheng Sen and said: "Second brother, you have seen it all, regardless of whether the person who killed his father and murdered his master was Qiu Yizhi. He is the same as the evil cult woman. Collusion is a serious crime in itself, and will be punished severely regardless of national laws or family rules. Why don't you arrest him quickly?"
After hearing this, Zheng Sen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and said to Qiu Yizhi: "Yizhi, it's not that the second brother doesn't help you, it's that the elder brother takes everything he says. In this way, you are here at Qingya Staying here temporarily can be regarded as keeping watch for my father. After the emperor's uncle and third brother arrive, we will sort it out carefully and we will definitely restore your innocence. "
This was a very kind thing to say, but Qiu Yizhi knew in her heart that if she was imprisoned, Zheng Xin, the culprit, would be able to make trouble outside. Not only would all the evidence of his crimes be wiped away by him, but he might also Able to blame all sins on oneself.
So Qiu Yizhi patted Zheng Sen on the shoulder and said: "Second brother, I appreciate your kindness. But this Zheng Xin is a very evil person. If you leave him outside, I will no longer have any physical sense. Please forgive me." It’s hard for me to obey.”
Zheng Sen frowned and said, "Brother Xian, is it a bit rude to say that to my eldest brother like that? That's fine!" He pointed at Wen Lingjiao and said, "Either brother Xian, kill this witch with your own hands and sever ties with the cult. , the second brother can be a guarantee, but it is just a misunderstanding between the evil cult and the eldest brother, what do you think? "
Qiu Yizhi glanced at Wen Lingjiao and shook her head without hesitation: "Thanks to Miss Wen Lingjiao, I was able to escape from Zheng Xin's butcher knife. Although Wang Fa is ruthless, he cannot kill innocent people." Wen Lingjiao is not guilty, so how can I kill her? What's more, my brother already belongs to Miss Wen, so it's even harder to do it..."
Although Zheng Sen was rude, he also knew the meaning of these words. He was so frightened that he took half a step back: "How can a good brother do such a deviant thing? How about I just take action and kill this witch to avoid future troubles!" After saying that, he took out the sword from his waist and struck Wen Lingjiao on the shoulder.
However, as soon as his sword was unsheathed, Yuchi Jiming on the side had already dodged over, grabbed the back of the sword from behind, twisted his palm hard, and snatched the sword from Zheng Sen's hand.
Zheng Sen had always prided himself on his bravery, so it was a huge shame for him to have his sharp blade taken away from him by a little girl. His face with an obvious exotic look suddenly turned red, and he cursed: "You Qiu Yizhi, this is not the case. I don’t want to, I think it’s clear that there is something wrong in my heart!”
Zheng Xin also immediately helped: "Yes, the second brother is right, he has something evil in his heart, why don't you catch him quickly!"
Qiu Yi knew that she could no longer convince Zheng Sen with words, so she could only grit her teeth and said: "Second brother, my heart can be expressed by heaven and earth, but I can't explain it clearly at the moment. This Zheng Xin is indeed a regicide master." I will definitely get rid of the traitor and traitor in the future!"
After saying that, Qiu Yizhi bent his knees, knelt down to the emperor Zheng Rong's body, kowtowed three times, and then stood up and said to Yuchi Lianghong and his daughter: "Let's go first! "
With that said, Qiu Yi kicked the door open and walked out.
At this time, Zheng Sen was already aroused. Seeing that Qiu Yizhi was about to leave, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses he brought outside the house: "Quickly stop him, no one is allowed to escape today!"
Qiu Yizhi raised his eyes and saw that the total number of men and horses brought by Zheng Sen was about 400. Each of them was holding a sharp knife and closely guarding Zhao Chengxiao and other two hundred elite soldiers who had long been disarmed. After listening to the second prince's order, Zheng Sen's men immediately turned around and captured Qiu Yizhi and others.
When Zheng Sen saw that his men were coming menacingly, he remembered that Qiu Yizhi was still the son of the emperor and his sworn brother, so he quickly ordered: "This is a noble man, just capture him, don't use force! "
The few soldiers walking in front were trying to figure out the delicate balance between "capture" and "not using force". This slightest hesitation immediately gave Yuchi Lianghong and Yuchi Jiming two martial arts masters. The master's chance - the two of them rubbed their bodies and grabbed a few weapons in their hands in the blink of an eye, protecting Qiu Yizhi and Wen Lingjiao.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Yizhi calmed down and shouted: "The fish is dead and the net is broken, rush out first!"
Zhao Chengxiao and others, even when faced with the wolf-like Lingnan Army, had never experienced the humiliation of being disarmed in vain like today. Therefore, they had endured it for a long time. After hearing Qiu Yizhi's unquestionable order, they immediately became violent. Chui Shou snatched the saber that was carried by a forbidden soldier in his hand, and at the same time raised his kick to kick him far away.
When Zhao Chengxiao's men saw it, they took action quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a hundred soldiers grabbing weapons, and their morale also dropped.
Seeing that his cronies had reversed the situation in a blink of an eye, Qiu Yizhi felt very proud and ordered again: "Okay, let's go!"
Zhao Chengxiao, however, did not panic. He took a closer look at the Forbidden Army sword that he had just grabbed and snorted, "What kind of junk are these?" He pointed at the pile of swords in front of him and said, "That's our treasured sword over there, let's get it back first!"
The swords used by the soldiers under Qiu Yi's command were either sabers carefully crafted by Bohai craftsmen, or high-quality swords selected from captured Japanese swords. Although these swords of the Imperial Army were also excellent, they were always beyond their discernment.
The Imperial Guards and soldiers brought by Zheng Sen did not know this. They did not expect that the enemy in front of them did not break out immediately after holding the weapons in their hands. Instead, they came to snatch the weapons. Instead, they were caught off guard and all the weapons were snatched away by their opponents. go back.
With the swords in their hands, Zhao Chengxiao and others were naturally full of confidence. With a tone of joy and confidence, they loudly ordered: "Let's go out and protect Lord Qiu!"
Zheng Sen's troops were considered to be elite men, and they immediately had a second reaction. In the blink of an eye, they formed a formation in front of Zhao Chengxiao and others, and were ready to fight.
Qiu Yizhi felt that Zheng Sen acted fairly and had not yet exhausted his brotherhood, so he was someone he could win over. She did not want to quarrel with him in person, so he quickly ordered: "Everyone, be careful, don't kill anyone!"
Zheng Sen, who had walked out of the emperor's palace, did not want to go on a killing spree, so he also ordered: "Be careful, don't do anything!"
Zheng Sen indeed led his troops well. After listening to his order, the soldiers of the imperial army all stood still, holding their sabers in their hands and staring eagerly at the opponents in front of them.
Qiu Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to Zheng Sen: "Second brother, I'm sorry, not a single word of what I just said was false, so you can't just let it go. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, you and I will be our brothers in the future. When we meet again, let’s say goodbye.”
