[Zuo Yunqi]
Zuo Yunqi was able to hold on with a burst of anger at the beginning, but when the "green girl" became toxic, his movements became more and more sluggish, and soon he was hit with several palms, and it became more and more difficult to dodge.
The person sent by the landlord to respond should have arrived outside the palace gate, but the crown prince was still missing, and the internal response of the Pioneering Group went to find it first.
The situation is hopeless. Zuo Dao also saw this, and his eyes showed a bit of emotion, and said: "I had high hopes for you, but it's a pity that you can't become a great talent."
"What big weapon? A big weapon that kills innocent people indiscriminately?" Zuo Yunqi continued, "What kind of great cause... a great cause that harms the country and the people?"
Zuo Dao suddenly jumped up, and the iron palm caught the wind, and slapped him on the face with a "slap". Zuo Yunqi was sent flying out, bumped into the porch pillar and staggered to stand still, with half of his cheek swollen, he still said to himself: "For a poisonous word, follow the instructions of the ancestors, and chase away parents and children, you...you should be cleared portal."
Zuo Dao said with a smile: "Then you might as well try it, Yun Qi! You intend to kill your father, but you have no eggs to be a villain. I am really disappointed for your father. It is a useless defective product, so let it be destroyed!"
[Zhou Rongqi]
"Li Ke" held Zhou Rongjun's vest firmly, pressed him to the ground, and said, "I have to thank Your Highness for the ban. Your people are the most disciplined, and they will definitely not come to rescue you."
Zhou Rongyun's thoughts changed, and he said calmly: "What benefits does Jiao Jiaoran promise you that I can't give you?"
"Li Ke" said: "I'm not afraid that His Highness will laugh at you. What's the benefit? It's just to collect the power to develop the world's most poisonous."
Zhou Rongyun sneered and said, "You think I can't protect your power?"
"Li Ke" said: "It's not a problem right now. But His Highness made a mistake in not wanting the throne. If you don't climb up in this world, you're doomed to fall to pieces."
"Li Ke" leaned close to Zhou Rongjun's ear and whispered, "You have long since lost the qualification to escape unscathed."
The almost soft voice penetrated into his ears like maggots, Zhou Rongji felt dizzy for a while, his consciousness seemed to slide towards an invisible abyss, and his thinking began to freeze...
"I almost forgot to tell His Highness that we have always been in awe of His Highness's wrists. So just in case, this time, besides Li Ruochong, I also used another special medicine from the sect, so that His Highness will not be controlled by me. Lost, totally stupid, can't say a word."
"Li Ke" smiled and said: "This medicine has no solution, and it works very quickly. How, has His Highness felt it? Can you still understand me?"
Zhou Rongji raised his head with difficulty, looking at the empty hall. The corpse of the emperor lying outside the door was still smelling of blood in the sun, and the surroundings were silent.
He didn't want to die yet.
He didn't want to turn into a living corpse in a place like this.
Zhou Rongjun's thinking became more and more sluggish, and his eyelids drooped like sleepy.
He remembered that he had promised someone that he would leave here after today and never come back.
[Xie Liang]
The guards of the palace have been completely taken over by the pioneering team, but due to the haste in getting on duty, despite repeated patrols, it is still impossible to ensure that there are no mistakes.
Xie Liang hid his figure outside the side door and observed for a long time, finally waited for an opportunity, sprinted to the edge of the fence, climbed up the wall with his lightness skills, and jumped into the wall in an instant. As soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, footsteps came from his ears.
Xie Liang glanced over and saw the corpses of several court guards and soldiers from the Pioneering Group not far from the door, and immediately threw himself into a pool of blood and pretended to be dead.
The footsteps of the patrol went from far to near, and then went away without stopping. Xie Liang got up and quickly took off the clothes of the Pioneering Team and changed them on. He looked around in a daze, and had no clue about the whereabouts of the prince and Zuo Yunqi, so he had to tiptoe around to search.
After wandering around like a headless chicken for a while, he suddenly heard a noise in the distance, as if a group of guards were running in a certain direction, shouting "grab" Yunyun. Xie Liang's eyelids twitched, and he quickly followed them, rushing after them.
The team of guards in front of him was divided into two, half of them ran towards a side hall, while the other half turned towards a corridor. With sharp eyes, Xie Liang saw two people fighting at the end of the corridor from afar. Among them, the one who was obviously at a disadvantage looked very familiar.
Xie Liang took a deep breath, and said a formula: "Steady." He raised his head, looked like a torch, and turned to the other direction, performed a few vertical leaps with lightness kung fu, fell into a bush, took out a bird gun and fired a shot at the sky. Roared: "Life, the prince has escaped!"
Sure enough, the group of people who were running towards the side hall hesitated for a while, and then divided into two teams, and sent a few people to follow the sound. Xie Liang pretended to fire a few more shots, his figure flashed out of the bushes like a gust of wind, and went back to the back door of the side hall.
It didn't take him much effort to find the prince.
The prince was screaming and being pinned to the ground by the Pioneering Team. The first person was the previous internal response, who was pulling his hair and ordering him to be quiet. The little prince, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, was poured with the liquid medicine and was still struggling endlessly, calling his father vaguely. He struggled so violently that several men grabbed his limbs and had to avoid his bite, which made his head burnt out for a while.
Xie Liang came out from the shadows, and before the Pioneering Team noticed anything strange, they panted and said to him, "Quickly help cover this little bastard's mouth."
Xie Liang responded, and the long sword was unsheathed with a "shua", and the cold light was reflected on the little prince's terrified face. The poor guards didn't even have time to raise their guns, so they fell to the ground.
Xie Liang said coldly: "Kungfu still needs to be practiced."
He leaned over to help the stunned prince, and said anxiously: "Quickly dig out your throat and spit it out!" The prince tremblingly obeyed, bent over and spit out the dirt all over the floor.
Xie Liang said, "How?"
The prince raised his head, and his eyes began to slacken.
Xie Liang cursed in a low voice: "It's still too late." He raised his hand and pointed to faint the little prince, and carried him out of the side hall.
He felt that he was carrying the future lord of the country on his shoulders, and he couldn't help but exert all his strength under his feet. He just wanted to go straight out of the palace and hand over the prince to the support of the Wulin League. While running, he took out a firework tube from his arms. These are fireworks specially made by the Wulin League for communication. Pull out the ring to launch.
Xie Liang ran halfway, suddenly remembered the other half of the frontier guards, squinted his eyes, but saw that Zuo Yunqi was already surrounded. Those guards seemed to be afraid of the poison of the sect, and they didn't dare to get too close, they just swept the formation with their guns.
Xie Liang stumbled, neither advancing nor retreating, in desperation he had a plan, and he didn't care about making more trade-offs, he found a thick undergrowth and stuffed the fainting little prince into it. He himself sprinted a long way in the opposite direction, inserted the lower half of the firework tube into the soil, and prepared to repeat the old trick.
Xie Liang pulled the ring and took a few steps back, only to see that the firework tube trembled, a white light shot upwards "swish", and a bright red ball exploded in mid-air. This blow was not only dazzling, but also had an astonishing momentum, like a thunderstorm falling in the dead palace!
Even Xie Liang himself was taken aback. He turned around and wanted to go back the same way, but he heard shouts from all over the palace: "What's going on?" "Signal from the Martial Arts League!" "What are they doing here? Go and see!"
Xie Liang ran away.
[Zuo Yunqi]
Zuo Yunqi spat out a mouthful of blood with a "click".
He was hit by two poisonous nails on his calf, and the numbness gradually spread to his knees, and he could barely maintain standing.
Various emotions flashed in Zuodao's eyes, and finally showed a bit of contempt, he simply stepped back, and said to the circle of guards: "Shoot."
However, this order was overshadowed by the sudden thunder. Everyone saw the fireworks blooming above the palace, and when the group of guards heard someone shouting "Spies of the Wulin League", they all followed the direction of the fireworks, no longer caring about the unsuspecting battle situation.
Zuo Yunqi suddenly gasped and laughed. Zuo Yunqi said: "Why, don't you dare to kill me, a traitor, with your own hands?"
Zuo Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "You ask again?"
[Li Ke]
Li Ke's consciousness was floating in the void.
When floating, he could vaguely hear the sound of the outside world and see light. When he sank, he was completely submerged in the abyss, and fell into a nightmare as long as eternal life.
He could feel that his limbs were being manipulated, like a delicate shadow puppet on a stage, dancing a meaningless dance. The power to manipulate him was strong and weak at times, and at very accidental moments, those strings would suddenly snap, causing him to fall back into the world of mortals.
At that moment those strings snapped in a burst of anger.
Li Ke blinked in a daze, aiming at Zhou Rongji's bloody back.
He trembled in fright, he hurriedly helped Zhou Rongyu to turn over, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, what's the matter—"
"Li Ke." Zhou Rongqi called out very slowly. His tone of voice was very strange, as if his lips and tongue had suddenly rusted.
Li Ke looked at him in horror, and his memory became clear in an instant.
Li Keru was killed by lightning and said: "I was killed by someone."
Zhou Rongjun nodded, closed his eyes in a state of distress, opened them again with difficulty, and said, "I know, you are burdened by me."
Tears welled up in Li Ke's eyes, and he seemed to finally understand the scene in front of him: "Did they also give you the same medicine?" He forced himself to calm down, looked around, and said, "Let's escape quickly, maybe we can find a way to untie it." it."
Zhou Rongqi said: "There is another medicine that can make people stupid. There is no... There is no antidote."
He could hear Li Ke talking in a panic, but his fading mind no longer allowed him to understand the other party's words.
It can't be now, Zhou Rongqi thought.
At least give me a little more time...
"Li Ke." He moved his fingers with all his strength, signaling the other party to look at the portable dagger that fell aside.
"Kill me." Zhou Rongqi said.
Li Ke was stunned suddenly, and said without thinking: "No way!"
But Zhou Rongjun had no time to listen to his rebuttal, and moved his gradually stiff lips and teeth: "I will never be someone else's puppet... I have no way to ask for death... Listen to my last order, let me die in your hands. I am dead , you are no longer of value to them... maybe you can get away with it... "
The palace in front of him dissipated like a thick fog, but in the blurred vision, there appeared the appearance of Li Ke dying in front of him in the distant past life.
At that time, I seemed to have said to him: "I regret it."
How come later, but forget it
Li Ke didn't even bother to cry, and just repeated in confusion: "No, Your Highness, I have survived for so many years, there must be other ways—"
However, even as he said this, he himself clearly realized that the people from the Pioneering Team would arrive at some point, and the Zuo Dao might control him again in the next second. And Zhou Rongjun will be completely turned into a puppet, spending the rest of his life without dignity.
There is no other way.
There is only one way.
Zhou Rongjun closed his eyes, and murmured dreamily: "In your previous life, you sacrificed your life for decades of mine. But I was stubborn, and I hurt you again."
Li Ke felt that the crazy and chaotic heartbeat in his chest was gradually stabilizing, sounding like the unfinished drums in an actor's song, and like a sanskrit bell, knocking out reverberations in the furnace of heaven and earth.
Almost inspired to stand up, he picked up the dagger that fell on the ground. The dagger has not yet drunk blood, and its brilliance is clear.
Zhou Rongyun said softly: "If there is an afterlife, please don't meet me again."
There were footsteps in the distance, and people from the Pioneering Group came.
Li Ke smiled strangely.
Li Ke said: "That's not up to you to decide."
Jiao Jiaoran came with a group of guards to inspect the victories of the leftists, and had just stepped up a step when she heard a wolf-like howling from the hall.
Her heart tightened, and she rushed in hurriedly, only to see corpses on the ground, and Li Ke knelt down in the hall with his head bowed.
King Yu lay flat on his knees, with a dagger stuck in his chest, but his face was as calm as if he had fallen asleep.
