The empress stared blankly at the curtain, her heart was dark and unpredictable.
In the past few days, she has had frequent nightmares, and today, she even dreamed of something very extraordinary.
In the dream, it was the same person, at the same time, but Li Changle died, and Li Huai was convicted of treason, and died of an inexplicable illness on the way to exile. The queen was seriously ill and was killed when she questioned Li Chaoge in front of her bed.
The queen's dream came to an abrupt end here, and she woke up panting, even after a long delay, she could still feel the palpitations.
The empress never believed in coincidences, she ascended the throne as a woman, which can be said to be the only one in the world. The queen couldn't help but guess, is it because God wanted to warn her, so? In? Dream? Remind her that Li Chaoge will kill the king.
After all, Li Chaoge's martial arts are superb, no one inside or outside the court can stop her, and Gu Mingke is no ordinary person. The queen once offered to let them reconcile, and to compensate them later, but both of them refused. No one mentioned this matter later, but the estrangement between the empress, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke was born.
The power of their husband and wife is overwhelming, and now they have 300,000 troops in their hands. If this battle is won, I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to compete with them. What if they don't want to be courtiers
Moreover, Li Chaoge found the knight who rescued her back then. The empress has watched Li Chaoge with her own eyes all these years, so it can be seen that she really has no memory of before she was six years old. But people don't lose their memory for no reason, who erased her memory
The queen thought about these things, her face became more and more serious. The maids only thought that the queen was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, and she was in a bad mood. After changing the queen to calming incense, they continued to serve the queen to sleep. The palace lady held a fan and fanned it gently. The queen lay on the bed and closed her eyes, breathing gradually evenly.
The queen fell asleep, and the palace people carefully closed the curtains, and walked out lightly. In the hall? There was only candlelight left, and the curtains were heavy. Zhang Yanzhi knelt behind the veil. He saw the queen lying peacefully, as if she had fallen asleep. He got up calmly and quietly came out of the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, he immediately quickened his pace and hurried to the palace gate. No, Li Chaoge is in danger, he has to remind her immediately.
Zhang Yanzhi didn't know? After he left, the empress behind the curtain suddenly opened her eyes.
·
Night rain mighty. The sound of rain drowned out the sound of footsteps, and the five men in black turned into a circle, stepped on the ground, and suddenly splashed high.
A man in black suddenly threw an iron hook at Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge dodged it, and the hook seemed to have eyes, spinning back again. Li Chaoge blocked it with his sword, but strangely, the Qianyuan sword, which cuts iron like mud, could not cut through those iron chains, but was firmly absorbed by the iron hook. Li Chaoge was shocked in his heart, what's going on? The Abyssal Sword is not made of extraordinary iron, so it should not be affected by magnets.
Li Chaoge soon realized that these people came just for her. The weapons in their hands were also custom-made for her.
These five people cooperated very tacitly, one of them tightened the iron chain, and the other two attacked Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge's sword was controlled by someone, he bent over and jumped up, turned around and kicked the man in black heavily. The man in black was kicked away, she grasped the iron chain tightly and pulled back with all her strength, throwing the man in black at the other end of the chain onto his companion.
Several people in black fell into a ball, and Li Chaoge finally got back his sword. Those who fell down quickly arranged their formation and surrounded Li Chaoge again. Li Chaoge clenched the hilt of his sword tightly and stood ready.
She was concentrating on looking for a flaw, when she suddenly felt movement under her feet, she jumped up instinctively, at the same time, a man emerged from the ground, holding double thorns, pointing directly at Li Chaoge. If Li Chaoge hadn't left early, he would have been pierced by now.
Li Chaoge's heart is cold again, can you say Tudun, is this a five-element ninja? The earth ninja failed to make a single blow, and chased after Li Chaoge again. Li Chaoge took this move easily, but when she was about to counterattack, the gold ninja threw out an iron hook and firmly sucked Qianyuan sword. Li Chaoge's weapon was restrained, so he could only forcibly change direction to avoid it. She missed the double thorns before falling to the ground, and the attacks of several other people also came.
They are five-element ninjas? They correspond to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and they are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, but they cooperate seamlessly. Li Chaoge's battle is very difficult. Another round passed, didn't Li Chaoge dodge? A long bloodstain was drawn on his arm.
Li Chaoge pressed the wound on her arm? The blood dripped through her fingers and fell into the puddle. Li Chaoge's body was already drenched by the rain, and a few strands of hair stuck to the side of her face, making her eyes very dark.
Li Chaoge asked, "Who sent you here?"
Five ninjas lined up and slowly approached Li Chaoge, but no one answered. The wooden ninja attacked first, and the whip in his hand swung across the rain curtain, pulling out a long water line. When it was about to fall, the whip suddenly extended a few inches, abruptly changing the original trajectory.
In Ziwei Palace, the empress stood on the high steps, looking at the heavy rain outside the eaves. The female officer waited behind?, uneasy.
Don’t know today? What’s the matter, the queen has been silent all day, not even Princess Guangning and Liu Lang? Can make the queen show her face. The female officer asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the rain is so heavy this time. You may catch a cold if you stand for a long time. Will I wait for you to go back?"
The queen didn't move, and her face was indifferent, showing no emotion. But the female officer was so frightened that she knelt on the ground immediately, not daring to catch her breath: "Your servant is overbearing, the empress forgives you."
"Go down." The queen replied lightly. The female officer kowtowed quickly as if she had been pardoned, and got up dripping with cold sweat.
She retreated halfway, and was suddenly stopped by the queen. The queen stared at the raindrops outside, and asked, "Where is Goro?"
The female official didn't know why, and said tremblingly: "Wulang is compiling books in Jixian Hall. It's raining today, so I went to bed early. Does the sage want to call Wulang?"
A gust of wind blew outside, carrying the rain and flying into the palace, the queen's feet were instantly wet. The female officer wanted to remind, but the queen didn't seem to notice, she still faced the wind and said, "It's all right, you all step back."
Everyone didn't dare to be the queen's master, so they made a promise and retreated away lightly. After the man left, the queen stretched out her hand to catch a drop of water falling from the eaves, and sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's obviously the child who resembles me the most."
Li Chaoge blocked the double thorns with his sword, and the whip whizzed past behind his back. The barb hooked on Li Chaoge's arm, instantly pulling out a bloody wound. The rain was dripping down, and the sticky blood followed the rain, winding the ground into a patch of red.
Enduring the pain, Li Chaoge raised his sword to attack again. But these people came prepared, they were familiar with every move of Li Chaoge, and they knew her attack style like the back of their hands. Their weapons, formations, and positions were all tailor-made for Li Chaoge.
One against five, or five? People who have studied her weaknesses, Li Chaoge will soon be exhausted and bruised. Li Chaoge still held on, refusing to take a step back. She has no way to retreat, these people are here today to kill her.
Li Chaoge tried his best not to dodge an attack, and stabbed Jin Ninja with all his strength. The opponent's hook pierced Li Chaoge's shoulder fiercely, and Li Chaoge's sword pierced into the opponent's abdomen. However, when the tip of the sword touched the opponent's body, no matter how hard Li Chaoge used it, he couldn't penetrate it.
They were not mortals at all, how could Li Chaoge win
The golden ninja pulled out the iron hook suddenly, and the barb pierced through Li Chaoge's shoulder blade, dripping with blood immediately. Li Chaoge snorted, his right hand could no longer hold the sword steadily. Earthwalker? Seeing the opportunity, he quickly walked out of the ground. The sharp double thorns pierced Li Chaoge's forearm, and the blood seemed to be out of control? Flowing out, Li Chaoge's fingers were in severe pain, and the Qianyuan sword fell to the ground with a bang.
Earthwalker? He took the opportunity to run away holding Qianyuan Sword. Li Chaoge has been seriously injured. Once she loses Qianyuan Sword, she will be at the mercy of others. Li Chaoge wanted to take back the weapon, but when he moved his hand, he touched the wounds all over his body, bleeding in many places, and his clothes were so soaked in blood that they couldn't see their original color.
Her heart gradually calmed down, and she knew that she would probably die here today.
It turned out that the day when the rebellion was put down was the time when Li Chaoge went into exile.
After Earthwalker snatched Qianyuan Sword away, the remaining ninjas all looked relaxed. They did a lot of homework in advance, but Li Chaoge was far more difficult than they imagined. But now?, it will be over soon.
Fire Ninja? He raised his long knife, and was about to end the assassination, when there was a muffled hum from the ground, and blood was obviously oozing from the ground. They were startled, and hurriedly called out, "Tu Xing, what's wrong with you?"
However, no one responded, and a long dragon chant broke through the ground suddenly through Xiao Xiao Ye Yu. There was still blood left on Qianyuan's blade, it shuttled around in the rain, and landed next to Li Chaoge again.
Li Chaoge struggled to hold the hilt of the sword, but the other four? Ninjas? didn't look at her, but turned to the other side in horror.
At the end of the long street stood a man in white. It was obviously raining heavily all around, but he was dressed in white and snow, not even a drop of rain touched him. He stood at the end of the bed, his clothes were windless, and his long hair danced lightly behind the back, out of tune with the surrounding darkness.
His appearance has not changed, but it seems that a certain shackle has been opened, and the coercion around him is overwhelming, and there is no concealment. You can feel the fierce murderous aura on his body from such a distance. This is definitely not something that a mortal can achieve, even a martial arts master? No way.
Only immortals who move mountains and seas can possess such power.
Wood Ninja frowned and said, "Qin Tianzun, it's a big taboo for immortals to kill people in the world. Does Tianzun want to do it knowingly?"
Qin Ke's eyes hurt when he saw the blood on the ground. If he came one step later... He didn't even dare to imagine.
Qin Ke raised his palm slowly, and the vast rainwater seemed to solidify suddenly, and then turned into thousands of silver needles, quickly hitting the ninja? This time, they were in a hurry and it was difficult to parry. In the blink of an eye, Qin Ke landed in front of Li Chaoge, his long sleeves fluttered, and the rainwater pooled towards his palm, and finally condensed into a ridge of ice, which turned sharply and stabbed Mu Ninja. Mu Xing was good at controlling and couldn't be approached by others. He immediately hid back when he noticed Qin Ke's movements, but Bing Leng broke through the body shield and passed through his heart with a puff.
The wooden ninja fell down, and the back of his hand hit the ground heavily, splashing a large piece of sewage. The remaining three "ninjas" understood the seriousness of the situation, and no longer took chances. Instead, they stood together in the shape of a mountain, put shoulders on each other, gathered the internal strength of the three, and slapped Qin Ke with all their strength.
This palm condensed all their strength, just this one blow, if you fail, you will be benevolent. Qin Ke also mobilized his spiritual power, and the two forces collided with each other. With a bang, the rain flew outward like arrows, and the trees and stone walls were broken. Li Chaoge was behind Qin Ke, and was not affected by the rain arrow, but she felt that Qin Ke seemed to be beyond his power.
Maybe it can't be said that his strength is insufficient, but that he can't use his strength. After all, there were three people on the opposite side, and the spiritual power of the two sides confronted each other. Qin Ke wanted to increase his strength, but just as he made a move, he was forcibly suppressed by a seal.
Qin Ke frowned. His power was blocked to one-tenth. It was too troublesome. In normal times, why would he need to be in a stalemate with others
Qin Ke was restricted, and the three people on the opposite side faintly gained the upper hand. Li Chaoge lost too much blood and couldn't hold on for a long time, but she endured the pain and refused to make any sound so as not to distract Qin Ke. Hearing her patient breathing, Qin Ke couldn't help it any longer, and exerted all his strength regardless of the seal.
As soon as Qin Ke's strength increased, he was forcibly suppressed by the seal. Qin Ke snorted, with a fishy sweetness in his mouth. But even the spiritual power that leaked out in an instant was enough, and the three people on the opposite side were crushed in an instant, falling to the ground like sacks. Two of them sprayed blood and immediately stopped moving.
The last? Ninja? Lying on the ground, he struggled to prop up his body, and stared at Qin Ke resentfully: "Qin Tianzun, do you still recognize me?"
Qin Ke paused slightly, showing hesitation. The ninja laughed sarcastically, and sneered: "I just knew that Heavenly Venerable is high above me, regardless of the common people, and I have long forgotten us sinners. Back then you killed my beloved wife, now, why do you Protect your woman?"
Qin Ke looked at the other person's face, and finally recognized a familiar figure from it: "Huan Yun? Aren't you in? Reincarnation? Are you being punished? Why did you escape privately?"
Huan Yun sneered: "Even if I give up my immortal status and become a mortal from now on, I never want to go back and be at your mercy. You group of high-ranking, Taoist and dignified gods, have you ever really considered us? Pass?"
As he said that, Huan Yun suddenly pulled out the knife from his sleeve, and stabbed at Qin Ke. However, before he touched Qin Ke's clothes, he was hit by the body shield on his body. The aura automatically protects the master, and when he senses the attack, he instinctively fights back. Without waiting for Qin Ke to react, Huan Yun spits out a mouthful of blood and completely loses his breath.
The rain was so strong that the blood was dizzy and washed into the ditch beside the road? It was drained away. Qin Ke stood in the rain, slightly dazed.
He said why these few? They are not as strong as mortals. It turned out that they were sinners who were relegated to reincarnation and punished. Ordinary people will go to jail if they make mistakes, and immortals will naturally go to the land of exile if they make mistakes. And Huan Yun escaped from the prison of reincarnation, he would rather be a "mortal" forever than be like a "marionette" and live life after life with his lover without a happy ending. When he is forced to forget his memory in the next life, he will experience another trick of fate.
Huan Yun doesn't know? How many lifetimes have he been in? Some memories have been restored, but he hasn't recovered his immortal abilities yet. He is between mortals and immortals, no wonder Li Chaoge will suffer from them.
Qin Ke stood in a daze in the rain, when there was a sound of falling to the ground behind him, he woke up suddenly, and hurried back to see Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge's body was covered in blood, and Qin Ke just felt distressed just looking at it. He carefully avoided Li Chaoge's wound? He whispered, "Chaoge?"
Li Chaoge didn't respond. Qin Ke pursed his lips, walked around Li Chaoge's shoulders and legs, and picked her up.
It was raining heavily, and the blood on the ground merged into a stream of water and was washed away along the drain. Soon, it was hard to see that there had been a life-and-death struggle. A burst of thunder rumbled, and everything was buried under the darkness.
·
Li Chaoge didn't know how long it had passed, but she only remembered that she was besieged by five people, and finally she was powerless and fell to the ground. So? Is she dead
It's raining so hard, what is she doing going out? She seems to be going to rescue Gu Mingke, is Gu Mingke safe? Li Chaoge struggled to open his eyes, and saw an unfamiliar room, with no lights in the room, and the surroundings were dim. There was a ticking sound on the window sill. It was still raining outside, but it was easing.
Li Chaoge felt that his shoulders were a little cold, he moved instinctively, and was immediately held by someone: "Don't move, the wound on your shoulder? It's very serious."
Li Chaoge turned his eyes slowly, and saw Qin Ke sitting on the side, giving her medicine. Her blouse has been completely unbuttoned, leaving only her undergarment.
Qin Ke doesn't have any charming thoughts at all now. He felt that Li Chaoge's injury was serious before. After he carried her away, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly found a safe place to bandage her. As soon as he unbuttoned his clothes, his heart felt a dull throbbing pain.
As far as the eye can see, blood is everywhere, especially the bloody shoulders, which is shocking. Piercing the shoulder blades has always been torture, but Li Chaoge was pierced through the shoulder by an iron hook and pulled out again. Qin Ke couldn't imagine how painful it was.
Qin Ke used? mana to stop Li Chaoge's bleeding, and then carefully treated the wound on her shoulder with? scissors and gauze. He just moved twice when Li Chaoge woke up.
In this current situation, no one has the intention to think about shyness, romance and other things. Li Chaoge closed his eyes and lay on the pillow, as if he was extremely tired. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Qin Ke stopped her hands, Li Chaoge closed her eyes, and tears kept sliding down from the corners of her eyes: "What did I do wrong? Where am I? Didn't I do it well enough?"
The five-element ninja knew Li Chaoge's movements and habits like the palm of his hand, and there was such a big commotion tonight that no one in Yangzhou city came out to check. Fu Yali? Is the drunk soldier really a coincidence
Qin Keru? Someone grabbed his heart, and his heart twitched. Regardless of the taboos of men and women, he leaned over and hugged Li Chaoge's shoulders, and gently embraced her: "It's not your fault, don't think wildly."
Did Li Chaoge have any upper body? He was not wearing any clothes, and his shoulders were completely bare. Qin Ke's fingertips fell on? Li Chaoge's shoulder. His body temperature was cold, but Li Chaoge's skin was even colder after being exposed to the rain. The temperature of his fingertips fell on? Li Chaoge's body, like? The only source of heat.
Once Li Chaoge's tears fell, he couldn't help it, and Qin Ke couldn't help it either. He didn't speak, hugged her, and let her cry slowly. Li Chaoge's tears dripped into Qin Ke's sleeves. Qin Ke vaguely felt the dampness, his fingers became stiff, and finally hugged Li Chaoge tightly and restrainedly.
He remembered the last time he returned to the palace. At that time, he also won the battle and left the battlefield in high spirits. He had such trust in the way forward, and he never expected that what awaited him was the butcher's knife of his parents and brothers.
When he first met Li Chaoge, he thought they were completely different? Li Chaoge has no rules and regulations, acts ostentatiously, and thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it. And he has followed the same rules for thousands of years, day after day, year after year.
But later on, Qin Ke gradually discovered that the lives of the two of them are very similar. They are both brothers or sisters? The one who is not favored? Li Chaoge once said that she has never been favored by luck, and she is very afraid of choosing, because every time she chooses one of the two, she is the one who is given up? It's not like Qin Ke, he was more completely abandoned than her.
Qin Ke originally thought that Li Chaoge was at least luckier than him, at least he had enjoyed the love of his parents, even if that love was short and fragile. But now? It seems that she might as well never get it.
Li Chaoge cried for a while, and finally calmed down. Qin Ke has always held her patiently and meticulously, his arms are warm and firm. After Li Chaoge vented his emotions, his rationality slowly returned. She realized that this pose was too awkward. She was only wrapped in a tube top, and Qin Ke's arms were carefully passed around her back, and his sleeves covered her body, as if enclosing her whole body. Li Chaoge's arm moved uncomfortably, and Qin Ke felt it, and let go of it politely. Li Chaoge wanted to move, but Qin Ke pressed his shoulder.
"Don't move, your body is full of injuries. If you don't deal with it properly, you may have the root cause of the disease in the future."
Li Chaoge had no choice but to stop moving. Qin Ke stopped above Li Chaoge, carefully staring at the wound on her right shoulder. He was watching very intently, a strand of hair slipped from his shoulder and happened to fall on "Li Chaoge's chest", itching.
Does Li Chaoge move? No, doesn't move? No. She let go of her eyes and stared patiently at the top of the bed. But that strand of hair kept flicking, passed through the edge of the tube top, and slid into the gully.
Qin Ke found that Li Chaoge hadn't spoken for a long time. He turned his head and saw Li Chaoge biting his lip. He thought it was her wound. He quickly asked, "I hurt you?"
Li Chaoge knew? He was referring to the wound? But just listening to this sentence was really full of ambiguity. Li Chaoge shook his head silently, Qin Ke looked at her in surprise, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."
Li Chaoge was even more silent. Fortunately, Qin Ke's hands were very steady, and he quickly handled his shoulders. He stepped back, only to find that his hair was resting on Li Chaoge's body.
Qin Ke froze slightly, probably understanding why she didn't speak just now. Qin Ke stood up pretending not to notice, his hair slipped away from Li Chaoge's body with his movements, and Li Chaoge also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Mingke brought clean gauze. In fact, there was white gauze not far away, but in order to ease the embarrassment, Qin Ke could only walk around the room, and then returned as nonchalantly as possible: "Can you sit up?"
Li Chaoge nodded, Qin Ke held her back and carefully helped her sit up. Afterwards, Qin Ke sat on the edge of the bed, held the gauze around her shoulders, and carefully wrapped up her wound.
Li Chaoge didn't feel it when he was lying down just now, but now Li Chaoge is leaning on the pillow, his skin is as white as jade, his chest is slightly undulating, and the wound is lying on it, giving him a more brutal and abusive beauty. The two breathed intertwined, and the air seemed to heat up inch by inch.
Qin Ke's hand just rested on his chest, and when Li Chaoge lowered his head, he could see the shallow scar on his wrist bone. Now? He finally stopped using blindfolds to cover it up. Li Chaoge couldn't help reaching out to touch it. Qin Ke was suddenly touched by Li Chaoge. He hid his hand back in shock and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let me see your scars." Li Chaoge glanced at Qin Ke, held his hand again, and pulled him over for a closer look. Li Chaoge stroked the wrist bone with his fingertips, and the itching seemed to run all the way to his heart along his fingers, and half of Qin Ke's body became stiff.
Li Chaoge asked, "Does it hurt?"
"forget."
Li Chaoge looked up at him, full of disbelief. Qin Ke sighed secretly, and took her right hand to deal with the penetrating wound on her arm: "I really forgot."
"Why did you agree?"
"They say that the nations unite to attack Kui, and we cannot fight against it with the strength of our own country. The only solution is to take advantage of the heavens, recast the Qianyuan sword, and strengthen the country's destiny."
"But if you are alive and can win battles and gather the hearts of the people, isn't it better than pinning your hopes on the illusory national fortune?"
"It was the son Qin Wei who won the battle, not me." The wound on his arm was easily treated. Qin Ke quickly cleaned it with his spiritual power and wrapped it in gauze. "If a person dies, he can save the country. This question is not difficult to choose. That day the father, queen and mother came, and the mother was always dignified, but she cried like a tearful person. After thinking about it, I think it makes sense. To save a person and save a country, The latter is the natural choice. So I agreed."
"Kui's country is not your country, why is it you?"
"It's not me, or it's my other brothers. I really can't say what to do with someone else." Qin Ke put down the gauze and said, "Since there must be someone who sacrifices, let me do it. Originally, I was a person who came out of the country, and there is no second son Ke of the Qin family in this world."
His elder brother's name is Qin Wei, the only Wei, and his name is Qin Ke, who abides by the law.
Li Chaoge lowered his head and fell silent. Qin Ke looked at her with some embarrassment: "You still have injuries on your back..."
Qin Ke originally intended for Li Chaoge to sit farther away, so he went around to bandage her. But I didn't expect Li Chaoge to lean directly on him, with his face resting on his shoulder, as if obediently letting him see the wound? Qin Ke was stunned. After a while, he put his hands on her body and continued to clean up the wound on his back.
"and after?"
"Later..." Qin Ke had to press Li Chaoge's waist with the other hand in order to fix it. He thought for a while before reluctantly returning to their previous topic, "Later I? Ascended."
"After the furnace jump?"
"yes."
"why?"
Qin Ke said: "I told you before that the matter of ascension is very complicated. Strength, opportunity, and merit are all indispensable. I used to think that my ascension was just a matter of luck, but later I found out that it may be because of my choice."
Li Chaoge didn't speak, apparently waiting for his next words. But Qin Ke was a little embarrassed, and interrupted again: "You have a wound on your back after a tube top..."
"Untie it."
Qin Ke was stunned, as if he didn't understand: "What?"
Li Chaoge lifted his injured hand and unbuttoned it from the side. The little clothes fell off softly, revealing a beautiful back, but the front was hidden in Qin Ke's chest, which did not reveal the scenery.
Li Chaoge noticed that Qin Ke hadn't moved for a long time, and tried to sit up: "What's wrong?"
With her movements, the mass of softness is about to be revealed. Qin Ke quickly pressed her waist and said, "No need? Get up."
"Doesn't it affect the line of sight?"
Qin Ke shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
Qin Ke is taller than Li Chaoge, so? Holding her will not delay him from looking at the wound on his back?. However, it is clearly not line of sight that is affected.
