At this moment, Zhong Wu Si felt as if there were millions of knives stirring in his lower abdomen. Although his Dantian was not destroyed, many of his internal organs were shattered and bleeding profusely under Cui Feng's knee.
Even though his martial arts were the best in the world, most of his skills had been wasted at this moment. Zhong Wu Si's eyes were filled with endless resentment.
At this time, Cui Feng was staring at Huang Ruiying.
"Why? You have followed me for so many years. Has Cui ever treated you unfairly?"
Huang Ruiying looked at Cui Feng with a blank expression.
"You have not treated me unfairly, but what did you promise me when I came to you? But where is Xianyu Beifeng's head now?"
Cui Feng was stunned for a moment, then he sighed.
"So this is what you wanted. You have been brooding over the matter of revenge for your husband.
Xianyu Beifeng is a general of a country. Don't you know how difficult it is to kill him
Moreover, over the years, I have challenged him to a duel as a martial artist, but he never came out, and you know this very well!"
"Humph, with your martial arts skills, there are few people in the world who can be your rivals. If you want to help me, you can sneak into Mu Country, but why are you unwilling? It's nothing more than to let me continue to work hard for you!"
Huang Ruiying, who had originally had an indifferent expression on her face, suddenly screamed, and the muscles on her face twitched.
"Hurry up and ask Zhang Ming to hand over Cui Yuanying as well!"
Cui Feng listened to her screams, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, it turns out that the biggest spy who defected to Prince Nan is here with me. It's not all problems in the palace!"
He finally understood why there were such huge flaws in his deployment. It turned out that all his plans had been revealed by the person in front of him.
No wonder the other party arranged everything just right tonight, and fortunately I kept the biggest secret.
At this time, the man in the red cloak also steadied his body. He looked at Cui Feng, but saw that Cui Feng and Huang Ruiying were asking and answering each other, and his aura was still as steady as a mountain. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"What level of martial arts has this old man reached? He took my blow without showing any injuries. Is he just holding on? Or did he still hide his strength just now?"
He was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and when he glanced at Zhong Wusi who was trying hard to stay on the ground, he did not dare to attack Cui Feng immediately.
The sudden change that happened here caused everyone who saw this to stop what they were doing.
"Prince Nan, why do you have to hide your head and tail at this point? Don't you know our plan?"
Cui Feng ignored Huang Ruiying and looked at the man in the red cloak. He wanted to confirm the other party's identity one last time.
He knew ten years ago that there was something wrong with the current emperor's cultivation. In fact, the emperor's martial arts skills were not much inferior to Cui Feng's.
However, after something went wrong in his cultivation, he swallowed a large amount of pills made by Taoists. Although this stabilized his cultivation, serious problems also occurred in his body.
Although he is still in his prime, he probably only has fifteen or sixteen years to live.
So he quickly found Cui Feng and brought him to the palace, and the two of them had a secret discussion and decided to pass the throne to a certain prince.
At the same time, it was also speculated that there might be accidents in the succession ceremony more than ten years later, because when the current emperor first ascended the throne, his younger brother, who later became the King of the South, was extremely dissatisfied.
He was also very eager for the throne, but his civil and military skills were not as good as his brother, and there were more important ministers in the court who supported the emperor.
Therefore, he endured it at that time. Although he seemed not to care about the state affairs, he made friends with a bunch of martial arts heroes and practiced swords and sticks all day long.
However, the current emperor was too familiar with his younger brother's character. He was unwilling to be inferior to others, so after his throne was consolidated, he decided to kill him.
But on the eve of his action, the Southern King suddenly disappeared, and no matter how hard the emperor searched, he could not find any trace of his brother.
This forced the current emperor to announce to the public that the King of the South had died of illness, but he continued to send people to search for him in secret.
The search lasted for more than forty years, and it seemed as if the King of the South had really died long ago, and no one had ever seen him since.
As the health of the current emperor is declining, he already knows that he does not have much time left, but the King of the South is always the biggest thorn in his heart.
That man also had supporters in the court. Although he had been suppressing them and even secretly eradicating them for so many years, he had not been able to uproot those intertwined forces one by one, and many still remained.
Therefore, he could only make a plan with Cui Feng, hoping to test the King of the South one last time to see whether he was still secretly coveting the throne.
"Hehehe... Didn't you plan to pass the throne to the crown prince these days just to make some people show up? Now it's as you wish!"
The red-cloaked man's voice was still hoarse, as if it had been polished by gravel, and he finally spoke again.
A pair of blood-red eyes under the cloak stared at Cui Feng, but the words he spoke still did not acknowledge his identity.
“But we didn’t expect that your pawn was actually Cui’s subordinate who had followed him for decades!”
Cui Feng looked at Huang Ruiying who was holding a pale fat boy not far away.
"So, don't hide it anymore. The emperor's real intention is not to pass the throne to the eldest prince who is still in Kyoto.
It was another prince, his most valued descendant, and it was said that the man was disguised and hidden in your mansion.
General Cui, is the prince waiting to inherit the throne Cui Yuanyi or Cui Yuanying? Don't say they are all your descendants, that would be boring!! "
The man in the red cloak slowly spoke again, and what he said startled the people nearby, even Lin Yuxing and Huang Ruiying were stunned.
They didn't know about this, and even Huang Ruiying was just following orders and taking down her target, and then forcing them to hand over Cui Yuanying.
"It turns out that the throne was not passed on to the eldest prince in Kyoto, and there is actually another prince in the palace, not a descendant of the Cui family, but I don't know which prince it is?"
Many people were thinking quickly in their hearts.
"It seems that the emperor's surroundings are going to be completely purged!! Huang Ruiying doesn't know about this, and even Yisheng only knows that it is a plan to deal with the King of the South!" Cui Feng's expression became solemn. When Cui Yuanyi was captured, he had already guessed that the plan might have been leaked, but he still had some hope.
He thought that the other party was just using his descendants to threaten him by mistake, but when the man in the red cloak said this, it showed that there was really a problem with the emperor's close associates.
Fortunately, his deployment retained the maximum bottom line, and only he and the emperor knew about it.
Although the other party figured out their plan, they still couldn't be sure who the prince was.
"General Cui, hand over Cui Yuanying quickly, otherwise Cui Yuanyi will die. I'll count to three. If you don't hand him over, Huang Ruiying, you will kill that fat guy. Then we will surround and capture Cui Yuanying!!"
The voice of the man in the red cloak turned cold. He was actually extremely anxious, and the shouting and screaming outside was getting closer and closer.
On the contrary, the sounds of fighting nearby were gradually subsiding. In order to make this raid a success, he had pulled out all his cards.
By now, most of them may have been killed or injured. He cannot delay here for too long. He needs to take them away as soon as possible.
But what he was unsure about was whether his royal brother's favorite prince was Cui Yuanyi or Cui Yuanying, and which of the two was the prince in disguise.
Even his uncle had never seen this nephew who had been secretly brought up by Cui Feng since childhood.
"one… "
The man in the red cloak read the numbers quickly, and Huang Ruiying suddenly dug her fingers into Cui Yuanyi's neck.
This made Cui Yuanyi have difficulty breathing, his face turned red, and fear appeared in his eyes.
Cui Feng remained motionless, but his eyes quickly looked towards another side house below.
"two… "
Huang Ruiying applied more force with her fingertips, and Cui Yuanyi's throat made a "crackling" sound, and his face was full of pain.
"Great General!"
At this moment, Cui Feng suddenly shouted. He only uttered three words, but the content of his words made everyone stunned. No one could understand what he meant.
"General? What does that mean? Who is he calling?"
"Is there an important general lying in ambush nearby?"
… While everyone was in a state of confusion, the man in the red cloak also sensed something was wrong.
"Get started!"
He didn't know what Cui Feng wanted to do, but now he had no choice but to kill people, regardless of whether Cui Yuanyi was his target or not.
His words made Cui Feng's eyes flash fiercely, and he sighed in his heart, knowing that Cui Yuanyi could not be saved.
A fierce look flashed in Huang Ruiying's eyes, and she clenched her fingers suddenly. At this moment, a sigh came into her ears.
"Why do you have an indissoluble bond with me?!"
The voice came suddenly, and Huang Ruiying had no idea what it meant.
But the sound was so close that it made her hair stand on end and she was startled.
The next moment, she found that she could no longer move her body. Then, as if someone gave her a gentle push, she fell straight off the roof.
And up to this moment, everyone was still moving their bodies under the shouting of the man in the red cloak.
With a "bang", the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded at the end of the voice of the man in the red cloak.
Then, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huang Ruiying, who had been standing on the roof just now, falling down in the yard without any warning as the man in the red cloak was talking.
Everyone was shocked to see that Huang Ruiying had fallen and was bleeding from the head. She was lying on the ground motionless, and blood was spreading rapidly on the ground beneath her.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof where she was originally standing. The man put one hand on Cui Yuanyi's shoulder and looked at everyone with an indifferent expression.
“Zhang…Zhang Ming!”
After seeing the man's face clearly in the moonlight, everyone except Cui Feng showed horror in their eyes.
None of them saw how this man got to the roof and how he knocked Huang Ruiying unconscious with one move.
Although Huang Ruiying was not the strongest general under Cui Feng, his skills were indeed strong. Otherwise, how could he escape from the army after several failed attempts to assassinate Xianyu Beifeng.
Cui Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. Even with his level of cultivation, he only felt a flash before his eyes, and everything became like this.
"What a superb Qinggong! His martial arts skills have reached a new level!"
At this moment, everyone who saw this scene stopped what they were doing, and for a moment no one dared to take action.
Li Yan looked at these people and sighed in his heart. When he sensed the unusual changes here, he hurried back. The journey of two thousand miles was just a blink of an eye for him.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he saw Cui Feng's eyes looking at him, there was a pleading look in them, which made Li Yan feel that this was the request for help from his subordinates who were risking their lives.
"Who are you?"
The red cloaked man's eyes grew colder. He didn't expect that things would change so suddenly. He had finally taken down a target, but was rescued in an instant.
"You don't need to know who I am. The empire is peaceful now. Why do you have to add to the trouble and make the people suffer from war again?"
Li Yan's face showed no joy or sadness, he just looked at the man in the red cloak indifferently.
