The news that Young Master Liu of Fengjianmen was willing to fall into depravity and walked with the great devil Xuanxian leader caused a sensation in the three capitals of the south of the Yangtze River and became the biggest gossip recently. With so many spies, it is unreasonable not to know about this well-known romance.
That said, there are signs.
Liu Qiuse had already broken the promise of King Yan several times without reason. Originally, King Yan thought that Liu Qiuse had suppressed the medicinal properties with his zhenqi, but from this point of view, it was obvious that other men helped Liu Qiuse to relieve the medicinal properties.Besides, more than half a year ago, the Xuanxian Sect found fault with the Prince Yan's Mansion. At that time, Second Master Liu rescued the Great Hierarch Xiao who had lost all his martial arts. Since then, he has never stepped into the Prince Yan's Mansion.
Not a step.
This incident made King Yan very unhappy.
And it's not just plain unpleasant.
What is this?This is tantamount to the darling of his palace running away with a wild man, not to mention the one he loves and treats specially, where does this teach him how to put King Yan's face?
This breath, a man can't swallow it!
King Yan's mansion was secretly plotting how to get back this vile Second Young Master Liu, while feeling that there seemed to be some hidden worry in the distant Shangjing, which was out of King Yan's control.
Xiao Heng flew back to Shangjing on a flying horse, even if he rode a thousand-mile steed and changed to a better horse every time he went to a post station, the journey still took him six days.
After traveling thousands of miles back to Shangjing at the foot of the emperor, after entering the Forbidden Palace, he went straight to Kunming Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.Because he is a close relative and nephew, and Xiao Heng has a certain influence in Emperor Yongyu's court, most of the guards recognized this noble relative of the Xiao family with a lifeless face, and let him in without questioning.
She used to be Empress Xiao, and now she is Empress Dowager Xiao's woman. Because she is well-maintained and pampered, she is already in her forties, but she still has a smooth face that does not tell her age.
The Xiao family has always been distinguished, not only a family of poets and ceremonies, but also a rich and powerful family who are good at imperial servants. Over the years, their status has skyrocketed, and they are already the respected descendants of the Xiling Kingdom. Coming from the Xiao family, it is conceivable that the Empress Dowager Xiao has good looks, talent and learning, scheming, and the grace and luxury of the royal family and nobles.
Xiao Heng's noble face with no expression is due to Xiao's good inheritance, otherwise, that kind of undead look, put on any ordinary person's face, wouldn't it be disgusting?
"Heng'er, you're here."
Empress Dowager Xiao sat upright, with the majesty of an empress dowager, and the flickering black eyes that could not see thoughts were all her sophisticated and cunning means to become the lord of the harem.
There are countless beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards in the harem. Survival in the harem is a struggle of iron and blood. If one is soft-hearted, it will plant the root of disaster; if one is negligent, it will be enough to die immediately, or even destroy the family.
Xiao Heng knew very well that the Queen Mother was born in such a cold-blooded battlefield.
So even though this person was his own aunt, he never regarded her as a relative.Xiao Heng saw it very clearly that no matter who has favored her or who has any quarrel with her, as long as the interests are the same, the Empress Dowager Xiao can become an ally; Raising the knife and falling, he slashed fiercely at the person around him with a honeyed heart.
If there are any people that Empress Dowager Xiao will never harm, tigers do not eat their offspring, and the children brought out of her womb will never be harmed, such as the current reigning Emperor Yongyu Huaijin, such as the famous idle prince Six Kings.
Xiao Heng knew that for Empress Dowager Xiao, even a nephew like him was just a pawn that could not be used.
So Xiao Heng also knew how difficult it was to keep Liu Qiuse in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.
"Bengong has heard a lot of rumors recently, Heng'er, you are very active in the Jianghu, I am very pleased."
The opening scene is very sweet, courtesy first and then soldier, praise first and then demote, give sugar to eat first and then cook in oil pan, this is Empress Dowager Xiao's forte.
Xiao Heng originally had a glimmer of hope, if the Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know that Qiu Ruyi was Liu Qiuse, he would report that Qiu Ruyi was dead, then this matter would be easy to pass, and the next step would be to fight hard to win the Yan Palace.
He is not afraid of head-to-head confrontation, anyway, he has long wanted to teach that damn Prince Yan a lesson.
But for Empress Dowager Xiao, things are not like this.
Anyone who is familiar with struggle knows that to do something, you must use the least amount of effort to get the most benefit.With Qiu Ruyi's pawn, King Yan's crimes were confirmed. Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Yongyu could easily and easily cut off the head of the powerful King Yan with a single click.
So Empress Dowager Xiao needs Qiu Ruyi, an urgent need, a longing need, a longing need. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Clean and neat, fast-paced, so happy.
Empress Dowager Xiao was happy, but Heng Xiao was not.
Then Liu Qiuse was in pain like a baby, how could she just let them push it out and chop it up?
Of course not.
No, we have to find ways to make things impossible.
"Yes. Back to the Queen Mother. In the past few years, my nephew has searched all over the south of the Yangtze River with all her strength, and the Yan Palace has also sent spies to visit several times, but it seems that the whereabouts of Tianjuan Prince Qiu Ruyi have not been found. I am afraid that it is difficult to know where he died when the army was in chaos. unknown."
Even if Xiao Heng returned to the Queen Mother, he would not salute, nor would he show any unnecessary expressions.
His expressionless face made it impossible for others to judge whether what he said was true or not from his expression.
"……yes."
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly, took a sip of white tea, tapped the porcelain cup with her brightly painted nails, thoughtful.
"There is no whereabouts of Prince Qiu Ruyi, but the whereabouts of the double flower rings, huh?"
When Xiao Heng heard it, he knew it was going to be bad, and sure enough, Queen Mother Xiao continued to speak slowly.
"The Liu family of Fengjianmen used to be the court military officer serving the royal family of Tianjuan Kingdom. Their martial arts are first-class, and their loyalty is also first-class. But the double garland is the important treasure of Tianjun Kingdom. On the day of Tianjun Kingdom's collapse, The double garland will not be taken out of the palace by a court official, it must be lived and died with the royal family."
Empress Dowager Xiao spoke slowly, neither too fast nor too slow.
"Since the double garland has arrived at the Liu family, I suspect that Qiu Ruyi has also come to the Liu family to take shelter in the Liu family...Of course, the ladies of this palace are getting older, so it's not necessarily true that they think badly. But I also I heard that you were confiscated by Prince Yan's mansion that day. It was the Second Master Liu of Fengjianmen who snatched you out. Well, this person is kind to my Xiao family, so I should thank him. But the rumors I heard later were It's not quite a word, Heng'er, some people talk dirty, saying that you and this Second Young Master Liu...you and this Second Young Master Liu are quite ambiguous, this palace is a bit confused, probably It’s because people in Jiang Hu Dao have a lot of talk, that’s why there are so many rumors, huh?”
Empress Dowager Xiao came from a noble family, and her words were cautious. The obscene stories that had been uploaded in the Jianghu turned into vague sentences such as "a little rough" in her mouth.But this whole passage is half-truth and half-false, half-true and half-true, half-kind and half-severe, which obviously carries a lot of weight, and the implication can be understood by the listener only if he has the heart.
"I have some ideas in my mind. I grew up with you, Heng'er. I know what kind of character you are. This kind of thing can be said to be groundless or something out of nothing, or it should be true. It doesn't matter if you have evidence, no matter what, it's not your fault. So I'm a bit self-assertive, meddling in other people's business, and sent someone to seal up the Fengjianmen Liu's house, but the Second Young Master Liu was not among them. "
Empress Dowager Xiao's clear eyes pressed onto Xiao Heng's face, with a smile on her lips.
"Master Liu is very silent, but Third Young Master Liu has said a lot. Heng'er, how long do you want to hide it from me? How long do you want to hide Qiu Ruyi?"
If everything is clear, then it is a showdown.
Empress Dowager Xiao straightened her waist, straightened her body, raised her face and looked directly at Xiao Heng's pair of dull eyes.
One word, one word, speak clearly.
"You stay in the palace for the time being. I have already sent people to Jiangnan Xuanjing to hunt down the second son Liu of Fengjianmen. At the same time, I have deployed troops to escort King Yan back to Shangjing for trial. You have worked hard during this time gone."
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty—"
Empress Dowager Xiao's beautiful face turned cold, and before Xiao Heng could say anything, she cut off the conversation gently: "Heng'er, don't you understand what I mean?"
The prestige of the mother's world, heavy and cruel, weighed on Xiao Heng's body.
"I said that the series of turmoil in the rivers and lakes, that you and Mr. Liu had such an affair, it was all because you were not deeply involved in the world, and you were deceived by the monsters and thieves in the rivers and lakes. The fault is not yours at all. The lonely minister and evil son, the other You are deeply worried and deceitful. It is understandable for you to fall into his trap. But listen clearly, one thing must be done, turn back in time, it is not too late, think about it, Qiu Ruyi died , to avoid the situation of large-scale wars and clan conflicts, and to use the least investment to achieve the greatest benefit, isn’t everyone happy?”
The words have already been put to the point, the only difference is that he did not say such heartless words as "If you want to protect him wholeheartedly, you will also punish him", but the stern warning in the Empress Dowager's words is clearly revealed.
Xiao Heng looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes without retreating.
"Empress Dowager, I do not agree."
"you--"
The Empress Dowager put down the tea bowl, her face turned serious, and the corners of her harsh lips trembled slightly, but she didn't attack after all, she paused, and spoke again.
"You've never been so stubborn. Heng'er, it's because I'm too conniving."
"Empress Dowager, Second Young Master Liu has kindness to my minister, and my minister has affection to Second Young Master Liu. I beg the Queen Mother to temporarily slow down the hunt for Second Young Master Liu, and then discuss other methods to destroy King Yan's family."
Xiao Heng's words are concise, sonorous to the ground, and there is no fear on his upright face, and some are just plain indifferent.
Empress Xiao snorted.
"Grace, kindness, kindness is the thing that binds people the most. What has this palace taught you? In the world, no one can trust false feelings. Have you forgotten all of them?"
"I have not forgotten."
Xiao Heng didn't back down, facing Empress Dowager Xiao's increasingly blue complexion, he who was familiar with Empress Dowager Xiao knew that shrinking back was definitely not the right way to face this scheming woman.
Only with a firm stand can this woman be shaken and persuaded.
"It doesn't matter if it's fake grace or righteousness, I'm sincere to Mr. Liu. The empress dowager is sage, and I beg the queen mother to let Mr. Liu survive."
"...Let the second son of Liu die, do you know how many soldiers will be lost to my son Yongyu?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, her face was livid, and she was really angry: "You are too confused! With the appearance of Mr. Liu Er, in my vast country of Xiling, where can I not find a young man who is better than him? The color makes you dizzy, Henger, how many times do I have to remind you before you understand? How many people in the world know how to serve men? Xiaowan, but Xiling is only one country, King Yan is powerful, and one day he will take over the position of Emperor Yongyu, when that happens, how much do you want Emperor Yongyu? How much do you want my palace?"
"My lord, naturally I won't let King Yan go, the Queen Mother can rest assured."
Xiao Heng said lightly.He has his capital, which is his ghostly martial arts, and the huge Xuanxian Demon Sect under him.
If he wanted to be serious, Xiao Heng would be sure to cut off King Yan's head if he broke into King Yan's mansion alone.
However, the imperial court has its own rules, and Jianghu also has its own rules. Non-aggression and peace with each other are the common rules that people all over the world know well.
Empress Dowager Xiao stared at him coldly, her sharp eyes pierced straight into Xiao Heng's eyes like a sharp knife.
"If you have sincere intentions for Mr. Liu and Qiu Ruyi, you will naturally not let King Yan go. Do you need to say that?"
King Yan was ordered to exterminate the Tianjun royal family back then, but he spared the crown prince, who disappeared immediately. What kind of things did King Yan do to Tianjun crown prince Qiu Ruyi? Empress Dowager Xiao is such a powerful person, so naturally there is no need Evidence can also be imagined.
"I'm not afraid that King Yan is alive, I just don't want things to be out of my control."
"Once King Yan dies, Emperor Yongyu's throne will be more secure, and the Empress Dowager can rest easy."
"It's far away." Empress Dowager Xiao was unmoved: "It doesn't matter if King Yan dies, but how King Yan dies has a lot to do with it. I want King Yan to die in a justifiable way. It's a stately and dignified death, so that the people in the world can't say no, that's what this palace wants. If you enter the Yan Palace, even if you destroy the Yan King's family, the Yan King has ruled Jiangnan Xuanjing for a long time. If you kill King Yan's family, will they obey? If you kill King Yan's family, won't they force the Holy Majesty to find out the murderer? If you kill King Yan's family, what will the courtiers say? What do you want His Majesty to do? It was easy for you to destroy King Yan's whole family, but you brought all this series of disasters and troubles on the head of the Holy One."
With a sigh of relief, she raised her beautiful willow eyebrows slightly, and Empress Dowager Xiao sighed softly.
"Heng'er, our Xiao family and the Holy One prosper together, and both decline together. You don't think about yourself, you think more about the Holy One, you think more about this palace. Doing this is bringing Xiling Kingdom What a mess?"
This is using Jiangshan Sheji to suppress him.
Using reason, emotion, the world, and the common people, the shackles were locked one after another, so that he could not escape, move, struggle, or resist, and finally let Empress Dowager Xiao fulfill her wish.
From a long time ago, Empress Dowager Xiao locked him up and controlled him like this.
But this time, he tried his best to break the shackles, even if there was only a little bit of Empress Dowager Xiao's affection for him, he wanted to break the shackles.
The idea was made long before returning to the palace, there was no possibility or plan to back down.
Xiao Heng took a step back and leaned slightly.
"Empress Dowager, I dare not interfere with the Empress Dowager's affairs—I am determined to live and die with Second Young Master Liu."
He raised his head and stared at Empress Dowager Xiao, there was no flicker in the dark pupils.
"When the second son Liu is born, the minister will live; before the minister dies, the second son Liu will not die."
"Bold!"
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, she let out an angry cry, and slapped the table heavily with her palm, causing the porcelain bowl to shatter on the ground and shatter.
"Bold and rebellious! Do you really think that I dare not take you? Eunuch Chang!"
Amidst the scolding, Chang Dexiang, the chief eunuch of the harem, flew in, obviously waiting for orders for a long time, and only waited for the order from Empress Dowager Xiao before he came out to do it.
Although he is a eunuch, he is one of the best among the masters of the inner circle. Just by looking at his figure, one can tell that this person has strong internal energy and cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Heng came out of the palace, how could he not know Chang Dexiang's skill?
He had expected that Empress Dowager Xiao would ambush his subordinates, and was prepared to attack if he objected, so he was not surprised when he saw Chang Dexiang flying down, he floated back and slapped Chang Dexiang in the air!
"Take down this treason for me!"
How much Chang Dexiang has, Xiao Heng knows.
But Chang Dexiang didn't know how much Xiao Heng weighed.
Why?Because the reason why the Xiao family raised this gifted child was to give the Xiao family another pawn that could be used in the power struggle in the imperial court.Xiao Heng is intelligent by nature, and as he grows older, he naturally sees all this in his eyes, understands his position, his advantages, his disadvantages, what he can control and what he can't control, clearly and clearly, so Almost, in order to make himself a bargaining chip to fight in this dragon pool and tiger's lair, Xiao Heng's martial arts gradually became hidden. Those who don't know only know that he learned martial arts to a certain level, and his talent is limited, so he can't break through.
Now that they had fallen out with Empress Dowager Xiao, they naturally had no scruples about making moves.He is also worried that Liu Qiuse is in Xuanjing, if Empress Dowager Xiao's people arrive at Xuanxian Sect earlier than him, Liu Qiuse will be in Empress Xiao's pocket, there is no luck.
Chang Dexiang was regarded as a first-class good character among the masters in the palace. He was so majestic, just like the emperor Laozi among the eunuchs, very powerful.But Lian Lian and Xiao Heng faced each other for three palms. Under the three palms, Chang Dexiang was forced to take a step back with each palm. By the third palm, Chang Dexiang had already retreated far enough, and Xiao Heng pulled out his waist suddenly. Saber, cold light!
Seeing that Chang Dexiang alone was unable to capture Xiao Heng, Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply.
"Eunuch Gui!"
The eunuch Gui Defu came out in response, apparently also someone who had been ambushing for a long time.
If these two people fight alone, they are a little weaker than Xiao Heng, but if they join forces, they may be a little stronger than Xiao Heng.
Two fists can't beat four hands, not to mention these two people are Xiao Heng's master back then.
Bang bang bang bang.clang clang.
A stately and well-organized Kunming Palace, given them such a dozen, the bed curtain was torn, the porcelain was smashed, and a blue and white porcelain vase left by the emperor Kai Dynasty, which was placed by the door, was also smashed to pieces by them.
The wooden pane was completely split by the sword wind, and the frail queen mother had already avoided it for her own safety. She only watched their fight at the small door inside, and if something went wrong, she would call in reinforcements.
But nothing wrong.
Xiao Heng really had no way to defeat Chang Dexiang and Gui Defu teaming up. He was quick-witted, once he judged that there was no immediate chance of winning, he rushed out immediately.
You can't win, but there is no need to win.
As long as he can make it back to the main altar of the Xuanxian Sect, he can protect Liu Qiuse.
Why didn't the Queen Mother know that he thought so?With a look in their eyes, Chang Gui and his father-in-law were required to stop him. The imperial guards outside also heard the chaos here and rushed over one after another. Xiao Heng just broke through the door, facing the sword of the imperial guards in the palace.
"Take him!"
Empress Dowager Xiao screamed.
This person is Empress Dowager Xiao's nephew, since Empress Dowager Xiao who should protect him the most has personally ordered it, there is nothing wrong with following orders.
With such an idea in mind, the imperial guards did not hesitate, and the swords greeted them one after another.
But soon, they discovered that they were wrong.
This person is not so easy to take down.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Heng's sword had already killed more than a dozen imperial guards, opening a bloody path from the encirclement.
Xiao Heng is the devil in the rivers and lakes, the heart of the devil, naturally he doesn't care about the lives of these little people and little things.
Especially at this moment, every second counts, of course, one will kill the other, and two will kill the other, regardless of other heavenly kings, Lao Tzu, gods, Buddhas and evil spirits, they will all be killed accordingly.
This is the chess piece raised by the Xiao family.
A terrifying monster who regards life like an ant, kills without mercy, and never turns back after taking his life.
"Queen Mother, if you... don't give the order to kill him, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him today."
Chang Dexiang could see clearly that the imperial guards were probably afraid that this man was the empress dowager's nephew or the emperor's cousin, who dared not cut at the vital point with their swords, dared not shoot arrows when they drew their bows, and tied their hands and feet like this to deal with the devil. What are you doing?
Empress Dowager Xiao naturally understood this, her face turned blue.
"Preach my will and bring this rebellious beast to justice on the spot!"
"……Yes."
Chang Dexiang bowed to accept the order with a heavy heart.
At that time, Xiao Heng had already broken into the gate of Kunming Palace, holding a long sword, the snow-white blade was dyed blood red, every time he swung it, blood spattered astonishingly, all the way was guarded by the imperial guards. The corpse, blood-red all over the ground, soaked into the gray-white slate floor of the palace, dyed a frightening color.
There was an unpleasant smell of blood in his nostrils, Xiao Heng's expression was still calm and solemn, and there was no human emotion in his dark pupils, which clearly reflected the mess everywhere in front of him.The dark black robe was torn in several places, it was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries, most likely because of Chang Gui's two father-in-laws.His flat face was also spattered with blood, but he showed no pain, and was completely numb. At first glance, he looked like Shura in hell.
A frightening sight.
More and more imperial guards heard the news and gathered together, and the order passed down by the empress dowager passed one after another, getting louder and closer.
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Heng, the traitor, will be executed on the spot!"
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Heng, the traitor, will be executed on the spot!"
"Fa-rectification on the spot!"
Hearing this, the knife was also clenched tightly, and the arrow was aimed. Just waiting for the command, the noble relative would be shot to death with random arrows, and his body would be dismembered with random knives.
Although the large number of people took advantage of the tactics, but in the face of such a pervert as Xiao Heng, there was no other way but to make do with it, and kill as much as he could, in short, just kill.
Xiao Heng raised his head and looked around, the tall buildings on both sides were full of bows, and when the time came to give an order, these densely packed arrows would poke down without eyes, and no one could stop them.
It seems that even if he killed his brother by mistake, he still has the heart to punish him on the spot.
Just now, he slapped Eunuch Chang and stabbed Eunuch Gui with a sword. These were the most serious injuries he suffered, but even if he was in a healthy state, facing this kind of arrows, it was impossible to block them one by one. It is impossible to say that he will suffer some injuries.
The palace gate is right in front of you, as long as you go out of the palace gate, snatch a horse from the stable, ignore the forbidden palace's rule that horses are not allowed to run, and rush out, you still have a chance.
So random arrows are random swords.
With a long howl, silver light shot out, a long sword was like a swimming dragon, and took several lives in an instant, and it was a few steps closer to the gate of Kunming Palace.
"Let the arrow!"
huh - huh - huh - huh-
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Lianzhu arrows, rain of arrows all over the sky.
Holding his breath and concentrating on it, Xiao Heng ran forward, the sword in his right hand swiped back, and slashed upwards diagonally, slashing dozens of arrows, and between the movements, he was five steps closer to the gate of Kunming Palace.
"Arrow—"
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
huh - huh - huh - huh-
With a snap, an arrow penetrated deeply into Xiao Heng's left shoulder until it reached the feather.
I promised to protect him.
If you die here, don't you have to break your promise?
Crack, an arrow pierced Xiao Heng's calf, he staggered, his footsteps slowed down for a moment, and there were two more cracks, two arrows pierced his thigh and left arm respectively.
People in the martial arts place the most importance on promises, and of course they must protect with their lives what they have promised.
but……
Just when he couldn't support himself and knelt forward, the vermilion gate of Kunming Palace suddenly opened, and a majestic and indifferent voice sounded: "Everyone, stop it."
The sound was not loud, but it penetrated into everyone's ears precisely.
In the next second, the shoes that slowly stepped into the Kunming Palace were golden yellow, the color that symbolized the royal family.
"Six kings!"
"Six kings!"
"It's the Six Kings!"
"Six princes!"
The Sixth Prince, who came alone, had a pair of crystal-clear amber eyes like glazed glass.
Seeing the blood all over the floor and the messy corpses, the Sixth Prince did not frown, not even the slightest bit of superfluous shock on that young and calm face.
Lifting his dignified and upright face, he looked at the empress dowager standing in the distance, and bowed elegantly and perfectly: "My son, Huaiyu, has seen the empress. The empress has a phoenix body and a golden body."
Every word of his pronunciation, every cadence and ups and downs, was controlled just right reserved and elegant. After the salute, he stood up, and his long brown hair, which was much lighter than ordinary people, fell gently beside his noble face and fluttered slightly. stand up.
"What are the six kings doing here?"
Empress Dowager Xiao was displeased, but her voice still maintained her dignity: "Xiao Heng disobeyed my palace, and my palace ordered Xiao Heng to be killed on the spot. When Xiao Heng is dead, what the six kings want to say, I will talk to this palace slowly. "
After saying a wink, Eunuch Chang wanted to give an order, and the sixth prince's slow voice sounded: "Slow down."
The Janissaries were neither on the left nor on the right, which was embarrassing.
The Sixth Prince walked slowly to Xiao Heng's side, simply put himself in the most dangerous place, for the Empress Dowager to make an order, the imperial guards didn't have the guts to even shoot him to death with arrows.
"Are the six kings against me?"
It stands to reason that this is Kunming Palace, and in Kunming Palace, the Empress Dowager has the greatest decree, besides, what the Empress Dowager wants to behead at this time is not any favorite concubine of the Emperor, but the descendants of the Empress Dowager's own clan, and no one will say anything.
It would be a waste of words to change which prince came.But this is the Sixth Prince.The Sixth Prince is not only the parent and son of the Empress Dowager Xiao, but also the most favored younger brother of the Holy Majesty today, and he will act according to his face no matter what he says.
"My son dare not disobey his mother."
The Sixth Prince's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and indifferent.
"Kerchen has obeyed the emperor's secret decree, and came to discuss Xiao Heng's life with the queen mother."
Since he obeyed the secret decree of Emperor Yongyu Huaijin, it is reasonable and reasonable for the teacher to be well-known, and of course the Sixth Prince will succeed in no time.Even if Empress Dowager Xiao is the honorable empress dowager, she cannot disobey the emperor's imperial decree face to face.
"Brother Huang begged for Xiao Heng's life from his mother. I don't know if his mother would agree or not?"
The one who can get Xiao Heng's life from Empress Dowager Xiao's Kunming Palace must be the Sixth Prince.
Even if the secret decree of Emperor Yongyu Huaijin was obeyed, but if it was someone else, who would have the prestige to restrain the imperial guards who had already fired their arrows?Who has the prestige to stand up to the empress dowager?
Even if we don't talk about this prestige, the sixth prince Huaiyu is the biological son of Empress Dowager Xiao, no matter how vicious he is, it is impossible for archers to kill both of them together.
And this sixth prince who walks sideways in the palace and lies down outside the palace is that fierce senior brother in Liu Qiuse's family.
At that time, when he received the news from Mei Ruolan, when he rushed to the main altar of the Xuanxian Cult to save people, he opened the door and saw two dead men strung together on a sword, bleeding all over the ground. It's really not something ordinary people can bear.
Two people, one is his junior in his sect, and the other is his cousin he has known since childhood, it is impossible to ignore death without saving them, not to mention that this will drag people back from the gate of hell.
The problem is that he is not unfamiliar with these two people. Now that he knows Liu Qiuse's righteous and awe-inspiring face, like a fairy, he is cold and cold, and he also knows that Xiao Heng has become an emotionless job for the Empress Dowager Xiao when he was young. Dead man, these two people strung on Liu Qiuse's sword at such a close distance, the sixth prince is not a fool, he saw the clue at a glance.
It's not that enemies don't get together, especially the good and the evil, the fairy and the devil, and they are all solid-minded enemies, so it's easy to make such a life-and-death situation.
So neither of those two people could let him die.
Huaiyu, who is both a big brother and the sixth prince, has superb medical skills. He insisted on bringing the two people who had set foot on the Naihe Bridge back to the mortal world. The tone is sweet and the meaning is strong, the second son of Liu can't think about it, he doesn't want his righteousness to fall into the hands of this big devil who is screaming for killing and beating, and he doesn't want to be chasing and beating Xiao like before. Heng did not give up, so Mr. Liu turned his head, bit his teeth, and gave him two lives with one sword.
Since things seem to be like this, if Liu Qiuse wakes up and finds that Xiao Heng is not dead, how much sense of loss will there be!In order to prevent Liu Qiuse's emotional ups and downs from affecting his injury, the sixth prince quietly sent someone to send Xiao Heng back to Shangjing when both of them were still in a coma but their injuries were out of danger. Nor did the Empress Dowager Xiao know.
What a joke, if Empress Dowager Xiao knew about the killer chess piece she had raised with all her efforts, she was actually fascinated by the second son of Liu in the Jianghu, and even got into a situation where she would die or live, Empress Dowager Xiao would be furious Next, it would be strange not to kill both of them.
The Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know about it, but Qibushi in Shangjing Palace knew about it.Qibushi is the younger brother of the sixth prince, and he is also a great character in the Shangjing Palace. Although he has not learned any martial arts from his master, but when it comes to poisoning people and saving people, Qibushi's strength is also amazing.
With the care of the seven-step death, Xiao Heng was able to slowly recover from the fatal sword wound, and it took half a year and six months to reappear in the Jiangnan martial arts.
"Annoyed the queen, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth."
In the Yiqing Palace of the Six Kings, the Six Kings carefully pulled out the feather arrow from Xiao Heng's shoulder.
There was no pain on Xiao Heng's face.
"The six kings really obeyed the secret decree of the Holy One?"
"Yes."
The six kings were calm and elegant, and there was no wave in their beautiful eyes: "The emperor asked me to take your life, do you really think that you can break out of this forbidden palace?"
"Yes." Xiao Heng's body was covered with blood, but most of them were not his.If the Six Kings hadn't come, he would have been able to break out of the Kunming Palace with a desperate fight. Although he was seriously injured, he would still come out alive.
"Brother Huang had expected that you were going to bloodbath the Kunming Palace. As soon as he heard the news of your entering the palace, he rushed to ask me to stop it. I didn't expect it to be a step too late."
"Isn't the Six Kings always in Lijing, why did they come back to the palace at this time?" Xiao Heng thought carefully, and at first glance, he felt that it was not normal for the Six Kings to appear in the palace.
Although the Yiqing Palace was assigned to the six kings, in fact the six kings lived in the palace more often, what's more, they didn't even live in the palace. One disappeared for three to five years. It was very capricious. If it were not for Emperor Yongyu Huaijin called urgently, it was absolutely impossible.
"That's how you see it."
The six kings smiled gracefully, took the Jinchuang Medicine next to it and applied it to Xiao Heng's wound.
"Recently there have been constant rumors in the rivers and lakes, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. How can we Lijing Chongyang Tower be independent from the storm, and we are naturally involved in it."
He didn't want to talk too much, and Xiao Heng didn't want to ask too much, so he stood up and said, "I want to see the Holy One."
"Brother is busy."
The six kings packed up the medicines, handed them to the maid waiting outside, turned and came in: "The old man of King Yan is not easy to deal with, he is very shrewd, don't look at how much he enjoys in the rich and gentle village in the south of the Yangtze River. Forget the sensitivity of galloping on the battlefield in the early years. If there is any disturbance on the side of Shangjing, he will be aware of it immediately. The queen mother sent someone to take down Fengjianmen. knew."
"King Yan knows?"
Xiao Heng's heart skipped a beat, things were going in the worst direction.
"If you want to plead for Qiu Se's order, that's unnecessary. Since the King of Yan has sensed our actions, he must act first. If he loses the opportunity, Tianjuan Prince Qiu Ruyi will not be able to make this move. The King of Yan is very careful. , Everything is planned and then acted, so frightened him, there are disadvantages, but also advantages. The disadvantage is that I am afraid that the tiger will show its power immediately, and the advantage is that he will act hastily, and things will not be fully planned. There must be loopholes and loopholes. In this way, It will be easier for the emperor to deal with him."
"How are you going to deal with him?"
Xiao Heng asked in a deep voice.
"Woke him up, not a useless kitten."
"Brother Huang is very clear about this. Since the King of Yan is aware of the heaven and earth net laid by the Queen Mother, of course he will not sit idly by. King Yan still has the right to mobilize some troops, and the forces in the Ministry of War are intertwined. Naturally, he will mobilize all his resources. A big comeback."
"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Left and Right, General Yuan, Duhu of Qujiang, and many Jiedu envoys from other places are all of them. With this counterattack, will the Holy Majesty's position be secure?"
"Most of these people are grass-like characters on the wall, and there are only a few of them who are powerful. If we took down the Yan Palace earlier, most of them would not have any actions that can shake the Forbidden Palace. What we want to grab is first. Opportunity, as long as the action is first, the King of Yan has no time to organize the forces, and it is difficult to use it alone, so it is not in our pocket?"
Liu Wang's gentle smile was very cold, as if there was some frost and snow covering his gentle and elegant face.
"But these things, it's enough for Brother Huang to worry about it. You'd better go back to Xuanjing and see the treasure in your heart. Brother Heng, I'm worried about the autumn color with this action of King Yan..."
The worry of the six kings really became a reality.
"Master, tea."
In the famous teahouse in Xuanjing, south of the Yangtze River, the members of the Tianwei Hall, dressed in black clothes with purple cloud patterns, carefully offered teacups. Seeing that delicate face suddenly worried and angry, their little hearts became entangled with each other.
That said, there are signs.
Liu Qiuse had already broken the promise of King Yan several times without reason. Originally, King Yan thought that Liu Qiuse had suppressed the medicinal properties with his zhenqi, but from this point of view, it was obvious that other men helped Liu Qiuse to relieve the medicinal properties.Besides, more than half a year ago, the Xuanxian Sect found fault with the Prince Yan's Mansion. At that time, Second Master Liu rescued the Great Hierarch Xiao who had lost all his martial arts. Since then, he has never stepped into the Prince Yan's Mansion.
Not a step.
This incident made King Yan very unhappy.
And it's not just plain unpleasant.
What is this?This is tantamount to the darling of his palace running away with a wild man, not to mention the one he loves and treats specially, where does this teach him how to put King Yan's face?
This breath, a man can't swallow it!
King Yan's mansion was secretly plotting how to get back this vile Second Young Master Liu, while feeling that there seemed to be some hidden worry in the distant Shangjing, which was out of King Yan's control.
Xiao Heng flew back to Shangjing on a flying horse, even if he rode a thousand-mile steed and changed to a better horse every time he went to a post station, the journey still took him six days.
After traveling thousands of miles back to Shangjing at the foot of the emperor, after entering the Forbidden Palace, he went straight to Kunming Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.Because he is a close relative and nephew, and Xiao Heng has a certain influence in Emperor Yongyu's court, most of the guards recognized this noble relative of the Xiao family with a lifeless face, and let him in without questioning.
She used to be Empress Xiao, and now she is Empress Dowager Xiao's woman. Because she is well-maintained and pampered, she is already in her forties, but she still has a smooth face that does not tell her age.
The Xiao family has always been distinguished, not only a family of poets and ceremonies, but also a rich and powerful family who are good at imperial servants. Over the years, their status has skyrocketed, and they are already the respected descendants of the Xiling Kingdom. Coming from the Xiao family, it is conceivable that the Empress Dowager Xiao has good looks, talent and learning, scheming, and the grace and luxury of the royal family and nobles.
Xiao Heng's noble face with no expression is due to Xiao's good inheritance, otherwise, that kind of undead look, put on any ordinary person's face, wouldn't it be disgusting?
"Heng'er, you're here."
Empress Dowager Xiao sat upright, with the majesty of an empress dowager, and the flickering black eyes that could not see thoughts were all her sophisticated and cunning means to become the lord of the harem.
There are countless beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards in the harem. Survival in the harem is a struggle of iron and blood. If one is soft-hearted, it will plant the root of disaster; if one is negligent, it will be enough to die immediately, or even destroy the family.
Xiao Heng knew very well that the Queen Mother was born in such a cold-blooded battlefield.
So even though this person was his own aunt, he never regarded her as a relative.Xiao Heng saw it very clearly that no matter who has favored her or who has any quarrel with her, as long as the interests are the same, the Empress Dowager Xiao can become an ally; Raising the knife and falling, he slashed fiercely at the person around him with a honeyed heart.
If there are any people that Empress Dowager Xiao will never harm, tigers do not eat their offspring, and the children brought out of her womb will never be harmed, such as the current reigning Emperor Yongyu Huaijin, such as the famous idle prince Six Kings.
Xiao Heng knew that for Empress Dowager Xiao, even a nephew like him was just a pawn that could not be used.
So Xiao Heng also knew how difficult it was to keep Liu Qiuse in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.
"Bengong has heard a lot of rumors recently, Heng'er, you are very active in the Jianghu, I am very pleased."
The opening scene is very sweet, courtesy first and then soldier, praise first and then demote, give sugar to eat first and then cook in oil pan, this is Empress Dowager Xiao's forte.
Xiao Heng originally had a glimmer of hope, if the Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know that Qiu Ruyi was Liu Qiuse, he would report that Qiu Ruyi was dead, then this matter would be easy to pass, and the next step would be to fight hard to win the Yan Palace.
He is not afraid of head-to-head confrontation, anyway, he has long wanted to teach that damn Prince Yan a lesson.
But for Empress Dowager Xiao, things are not like this.
Anyone who is familiar with struggle knows that to do something, you must use the least amount of effort to get the most benefit.With Qiu Ruyi's pawn, King Yan's crimes were confirmed. Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Yongyu could easily and easily cut off the head of the powerful King Yan with a single click.
So Empress Dowager Xiao needs Qiu Ruyi, an urgent need, a longing need, a longing need. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Clean and neat, fast-paced, so happy.
Empress Dowager Xiao was happy, but Heng Xiao was not.
Then Liu Qiuse was in pain like a baby, how could she just let them push it out and chop it up?
Of course not.
No, we have to find ways to make things impossible.
"Yes. Back to the Queen Mother. In the past few years, my nephew has searched all over the south of the Yangtze River with all her strength, and the Yan Palace has also sent spies to visit several times, but it seems that the whereabouts of Tianjuan Prince Qiu Ruyi have not been found. I am afraid that it is difficult to know where he died when the army was in chaos. unknown."
Even if Xiao Heng returned to the Queen Mother, he would not salute, nor would he show any unnecessary expressions.
His expressionless face made it impossible for others to judge whether what he said was true or not from his expression.
"……yes."
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly, took a sip of white tea, tapped the porcelain cup with her brightly painted nails, thoughtful.
"There is no whereabouts of Prince Qiu Ruyi, but the whereabouts of the double flower rings, huh?"
When Xiao Heng heard it, he knew it was going to be bad, and sure enough, Queen Mother Xiao continued to speak slowly.
"The Liu family of Fengjianmen used to be the court military officer serving the royal family of Tianjuan Kingdom. Their martial arts are first-class, and their loyalty is also first-class. But the double garland is the important treasure of Tianjun Kingdom. On the day of Tianjun Kingdom's collapse, The double garland will not be taken out of the palace by a court official, it must be lived and died with the royal family."
Empress Dowager Xiao spoke slowly, neither too fast nor too slow.
"Since the double garland has arrived at the Liu family, I suspect that Qiu Ruyi has also come to the Liu family to take shelter in the Liu family...Of course, the ladies of this palace are getting older, so it's not necessarily true that they think badly. But I also I heard that you were confiscated by Prince Yan's mansion that day. It was the Second Master Liu of Fengjianmen who snatched you out. Well, this person is kind to my Xiao family, so I should thank him. But the rumors I heard later were It's not quite a word, Heng'er, some people talk dirty, saying that you and this Second Young Master Liu...you and this Second Young Master Liu are quite ambiguous, this palace is a bit confused, probably It’s because people in Jiang Hu Dao have a lot of talk, that’s why there are so many rumors, huh?”
Empress Dowager Xiao came from a noble family, and her words were cautious. The obscene stories that had been uploaded in the Jianghu turned into vague sentences such as "a little rough" in her mouth.But this whole passage is half-truth and half-false, half-true and half-true, half-kind and half-severe, which obviously carries a lot of weight, and the implication can be understood by the listener only if he has the heart.
"I have some ideas in my mind. I grew up with you, Heng'er. I know what kind of character you are. This kind of thing can be said to be groundless or something out of nothing, or it should be true. It doesn't matter if you have evidence, no matter what, it's not your fault. So I'm a bit self-assertive, meddling in other people's business, and sent someone to seal up the Fengjianmen Liu's house, but the Second Young Master Liu was not among them. "
Empress Dowager Xiao's clear eyes pressed onto Xiao Heng's face, with a smile on her lips.
"Master Liu is very silent, but Third Young Master Liu has said a lot. Heng'er, how long do you want to hide it from me? How long do you want to hide Qiu Ruyi?"
If everything is clear, then it is a showdown.
Empress Dowager Xiao straightened her waist, straightened her body, raised her face and looked directly at Xiao Heng's pair of dull eyes.
One word, one word, speak clearly.
"You stay in the palace for the time being. I have already sent people to Jiangnan Xuanjing to hunt down the second son Liu of Fengjianmen. At the same time, I have deployed troops to escort King Yan back to Shangjing for trial. You have worked hard during this time gone."
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty—"
Empress Dowager Xiao's beautiful face turned cold, and before Xiao Heng could say anything, she cut off the conversation gently: "Heng'er, don't you understand what I mean?"
The prestige of the mother's world, heavy and cruel, weighed on Xiao Heng's body.
"I said that the series of turmoil in the rivers and lakes, that you and Mr. Liu had such an affair, it was all because you were not deeply involved in the world, and you were deceived by the monsters and thieves in the rivers and lakes. The fault is not yours at all. The lonely minister and evil son, the other You are deeply worried and deceitful. It is understandable for you to fall into his trap. But listen clearly, one thing must be done, turn back in time, it is not too late, think about it, Qiu Ruyi died , to avoid the situation of large-scale wars and clan conflicts, and to use the least investment to achieve the greatest benefit, isn’t everyone happy?”
The words have already been put to the point, the only difference is that he did not say such heartless words as "If you want to protect him wholeheartedly, you will also punish him", but the stern warning in the Empress Dowager's words is clearly revealed.
Xiao Heng looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes without retreating.
"Empress Dowager, I do not agree."
"you--"
The Empress Dowager put down the tea bowl, her face turned serious, and the corners of her harsh lips trembled slightly, but she didn't attack after all, she paused, and spoke again.
"You've never been so stubborn. Heng'er, it's because I'm too conniving."
"Empress Dowager, Second Young Master Liu has kindness to my minister, and my minister has affection to Second Young Master Liu. I beg the Queen Mother to temporarily slow down the hunt for Second Young Master Liu, and then discuss other methods to destroy King Yan's family."
Xiao Heng's words are concise, sonorous to the ground, and there is no fear on his upright face, and some are just plain indifferent.
Empress Xiao snorted.
"Grace, kindness, kindness is the thing that binds people the most. What has this palace taught you? In the world, no one can trust false feelings. Have you forgotten all of them?"
"I have not forgotten."
Xiao Heng didn't back down, facing Empress Dowager Xiao's increasingly blue complexion, he who was familiar with Empress Dowager Xiao knew that shrinking back was definitely not the right way to face this scheming woman.
Only with a firm stand can this woman be shaken and persuaded.
"It doesn't matter if it's fake grace or righteousness, I'm sincere to Mr. Liu. The empress dowager is sage, and I beg the queen mother to let Mr. Liu survive."
"...Let the second son of Liu die, do you know how many soldiers will be lost to my son Yongyu?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, her face was livid, and she was really angry: "You are too confused! With the appearance of Mr. Liu Er, in my vast country of Xiling, where can I not find a young man who is better than him? The color makes you dizzy, Henger, how many times do I have to remind you before you understand? How many people in the world know how to serve men? Xiaowan, but Xiling is only one country, King Yan is powerful, and one day he will take over the position of Emperor Yongyu, when that happens, how much do you want Emperor Yongyu? How much do you want my palace?"
"My lord, naturally I won't let King Yan go, the Queen Mother can rest assured."
Xiao Heng said lightly.He has his capital, which is his ghostly martial arts, and the huge Xuanxian Demon Sect under him.
If he wanted to be serious, Xiao Heng would be sure to cut off King Yan's head if he broke into King Yan's mansion alone.
However, the imperial court has its own rules, and Jianghu also has its own rules. Non-aggression and peace with each other are the common rules that people all over the world know well.
Empress Dowager Xiao stared at him coldly, her sharp eyes pierced straight into Xiao Heng's eyes like a sharp knife.
"If you have sincere intentions for Mr. Liu and Qiu Ruyi, you will naturally not let King Yan go. Do you need to say that?"
King Yan was ordered to exterminate the Tianjun royal family back then, but he spared the crown prince, who disappeared immediately. What kind of things did King Yan do to Tianjun crown prince Qiu Ruyi? Empress Dowager Xiao is such a powerful person, so naturally there is no need Evidence can also be imagined.
"I'm not afraid that King Yan is alive, I just don't want things to be out of my control."
"Once King Yan dies, Emperor Yongyu's throne will be more secure, and the Empress Dowager can rest easy."
"It's far away." Empress Dowager Xiao was unmoved: "It doesn't matter if King Yan dies, but how King Yan dies has a lot to do with it. I want King Yan to die in a justifiable way. It's a stately and dignified death, so that the people in the world can't say no, that's what this palace wants. If you enter the Yan Palace, even if you destroy the Yan King's family, the Yan King has ruled Jiangnan Xuanjing for a long time. If you kill King Yan's family, will they obey? If you kill King Yan's family, won't they force the Holy Majesty to find out the murderer? If you kill King Yan's family, what will the courtiers say? What do you want His Majesty to do? It was easy for you to destroy King Yan's whole family, but you brought all this series of disasters and troubles on the head of the Holy One."
With a sigh of relief, she raised her beautiful willow eyebrows slightly, and Empress Dowager Xiao sighed softly.
"Heng'er, our Xiao family and the Holy One prosper together, and both decline together. You don't think about yourself, you think more about the Holy One, you think more about this palace. Doing this is bringing Xiling Kingdom What a mess?"
This is using Jiangshan Sheji to suppress him.
Using reason, emotion, the world, and the common people, the shackles were locked one after another, so that he could not escape, move, struggle, or resist, and finally let Empress Dowager Xiao fulfill her wish.
From a long time ago, Empress Dowager Xiao locked him up and controlled him like this.
But this time, he tried his best to break the shackles, even if there was only a little bit of Empress Dowager Xiao's affection for him, he wanted to break the shackles.
The idea was made long before returning to the palace, there was no possibility or plan to back down.
Xiao Heng took a step back and leaned slightly.
"Empress Dowager, I dare not interfere with the Empress Dowager's affairs—I am determined to live and die with Second Young Master Liu."
He raised his head and stared at Empress Dowager Xiao, there was no flicker in the dark pupils.
"When the second son Liu is born, the minister will live; before the minister dies, the second son Liu will not die."
"Bold!"
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, she let out an angry cry, and slapped the table heavily with her palm, causing the porcelain bowl to shatter on the ground and shatter.
"Bold and rebellious! Do you really think that I dare not take you? Eunuch Chang!"
Amidst the scolding, Chang Dexiang, the chief eunuch of the harem, flew in, obviously waiting for orders for a long time, and only waited for the order from Empress Dowager Xiao before he came out to do it.
Although he is a eunuch, he is one of the best among the masters of the inner circle. Just by looking at his figure, one can tell that this person has strong internal energy and cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Heng came out of the palace, how could he not know Chang Dexiang's skill?
He had expected that Empress Dowager Xiao would ambush his subordinates, and was prepared to attack if he objected, so he was not surprised when he saw Chang Dexiang flying down, he floated back and slapped Chang Dexiang in the air!
"Take down this treason for me!"
How much Chang Dexiang has, Xiao Heng knows.
But Chang Dexiang didn't know how much Xiao Heng weighed.
Why?Because the reason why the Xiao family raised this gifted child was to give the Xiao family another pawn that could be used in the power struggle in the imperial court.Xiao Heng is intelligent by nature, and as he grows older, he naturally sees all this in his eyes, understands his position, his advantages, his disadvantages, what he can control and what he can't control, clearly and clearly, so Almost, in order to make himself a bargaining chip to fight in this dragon pool and tiger's lair, Xiao Heng's martial arts gradually became hidden. Those who don't know only know that he learned martial arts to a certain level, and his talent is limited, so he can't break through.
Now that they had fallen out with Empress Dowager Xiao, they naturally had no scruples about making moves.He is also worried that Liu Qiuse is in Xuanjing, if Empress Dowager Xiao's people arrive at Xuanxian Sect earlier than him, Liu Qiuse will be in Empress Xiao's pocket, there is no luck.
Chang Dexiang was regarded as a first-class good character among the masters in the palace. He was so majestic, just like the emperor Laozi among the eunuchs, very powerful.But Lian Lian and Xiao Heng faced each other for three palms. Under the three palms, Chang Dexiang was forced to take a step back with each palm. By the third palm, Chang Dexiang had already retreated far enough, and Xiao Heng pulled out his waist suddenly. Saber, cold light!
Seeing that Chang Dexiang alone was unable to capture Xiao Heng, Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply.
"Eunuch Gui!"
The eunuch Gui Defu came out in response, apparently also someone who had been ambushing for a long time.
If these two people fight alone, they are a little weaker than Xiao Heng, but if they join forces, they may be a little stronger than Xiao Heng.
Two fists can't beat four hands, not to mention these two people are Xiao Heng's master back then.
Bang bang bang bang.clang clang.
A stately and well-organized Kunming Palace, given them such a dozen, the bed curtain was torn, the porcelain was smashed, and a blue and white porcelain vase left by the emperor Kai Dynasty, which was placed by the door, was also smashed to pieces by them.
The wooden pane was completely split by the sword wind, and the frail queen mother had already avoided it for her own safety. She only watched their fight at the small door inside, and if something went wrong, she would call in reinforcements.
But nothing wrong.
Xiao Heng really had no way to defeat Chang Dexiang and Gui Defu teaming up. He was quick-witted, once he judged that there was no immediate chance of winning, he rushed out immediately.
You can't win, but there is no need to win.
As long as he can make it back to the main altar of the Xuanxian Sect, he can protect Liu Qiuse.
Why didn't the Queen Mother know that he thought so?With a look in their eyes, Chang Gui and his father-in-law were required to stop him. The imperial guards outside also heard the chaos here and rushed over one after another. Xiao Heng just broke through the door, facing the sword of the imperial guards in the palace.
"Take him!"
Empress Dowager Xiao screamed.
This person is Empress Dowager Xiao's nephew, since Empress Dowager Xiao who should protect him the most has personally ordered it, there is nothing wrong with following orders.
With such an idea in mind, the imperial guards did not hesitate, and the swords greeted them one after another.
But soon, they discovered that they were wrong.
This person is not so easy to take down.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Heng's sword had already killed more than a dozen imperial guards, opening a bloody path from the encirclement.
Xiao Heng is the devil in the rivers and lakes, the heart of the devil, naturally he doesn't care about the lives of these little people and little things.
Especially at this moment, every second counts, of course, one will kill the other, and two will kill the other, regardless of other heavenly kings, Lao Tzu, gods, Buddhas and evil spirits, they will all be killed accordingly.
This is the chess piece raised by the Xiao family.
A terrifying monster who regards life like an ant, kills without mercy, and never turns back after taking his life.
"Queen Mother, if you... don't give the order to kill him, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him today."
Chang Dexiang could see clearly that the imperial guards were probably afraid that this man was the empress dowager's nephew or the emperor's cousin, who dared not cut at the vital point with their swords, dared not shoot arrows when they drew their bows, and tied their hands and feet like this to deal with the devil. What are you doing?
Empress Dowager Xiao naturally understood this, her face turned blue.
"Preach my will and bring this rebellious beast to justice on the spot!"
"……Yes."
Chang Dexiang bowed to accept the order with a heavy heart.
At that time, Xiao Heng had already broken into the gate of Kunming Palace, holding a long sword, the snow-white blade was dyed blood red, every time he swung it, blood spattered astonishingly, all the way was guarded by the imperial guards. The corpse, blood-red all over the ground, soaked into the gray-white slate floor of the palace, dyed a frightening color.
There was an unpleasant smell of blood in his nostrils, Xiao Heng's expression was still calm and solemn, and there was no human emotion in his dark pupils, which clearly reflected the mess everywhere in front of him.The dark black robe was torn in several places, it was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries, most likely because of Chang Gui's two father-in-laws.His flat face was also spattered with blood, but he showed no pain, and was completely numb. At first glance, he looked like Shura in hell.
A frightening sight.
More and more imperial guards heard the news and gathered together, and the order passed down by the empress dowager passed one after another, getting louder and closer.
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Heng, the traitor, will be executed on the spot!"
"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Heng, the traitor, will be executed on the spot!"
"Fa-rectification on the spot!"
Hearing this, the knife was also clenched tightly, and the arrow was aimed. Just waiting for the command, the noble relative would be shot to death with random arrows, and his body would be dismembered with random knives.
Although the large number of people took advantage of the tactics, but in the face of such a pervert as Xiao Heng, there was no other way but to make do with it, and kill as much as he could, in short, just kill.
Xiao Heng raised his head and looked around, the tall buildings on both sides were full of bows, and when the time came to give an order, these densely packed arrows would poke down without eyes, and no one could stop them.
It seems that even if he killed his brother by mistake, he still has the heart to punish him on the spot.
Just now, he slapped Eunuch Chang and stabbed Eunuch Gui with a sword. These were the most serious injuries he suffered, but even if he was in a healthy state, facing this kind of arrows, it was impossible to block them one by one. It is impossible to say that he will suffer some injuries.
The palace gate is right in front of you, as long as you go out of the palace gate, snatch a horse from the stable, ignore the forbidden palace's rule that horses are not allowed to run, and rush out, you still have a chance.
So random arrows are random swords.
With a long howl, silver light shot out, a long sword was like a swimming dragon, and took several lives in an instant, and it was a few steps closer to the gate of Kunming Palace.
"Let the arrow!"
huh - huh - huh - huh-
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Lianzhu arrows, rain of arrows all over the sky.
Holding his breath and concentrating on it, Xiao Heng ran forward, the sword in his right hand swiped back, and slashed upwards diagonally, slashing dozens of arrows, and between the movements, he was five steps closer to the gate of Kunming Palace.
"Arrow—"
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhhh
huh - huh - huh - huh-
With a snap, an arrow penetrated deeply into Xiao Heng's left shoulder until it reached the feather.
I promised to protect him.
If you die here, don't you have to break your promise?
Crack, an arrow pierced Xiao Heng's calf, he staggered, his footsteps slowed down for a moment, and there were two more cracks, two arrows pierced his thigh and left arm respectively.
People in the martial arts place the most importance on promises, and of course they must protect with their lives what they have promised.
but……
Just when he couldn't support himself and knelt forward, the vermilion gate of Kunming Palace suddenly opened, and a majestic and indifferent voice sounded: "Everyone, stop it."
The sound was not loud, but it penetrated into everyone's ears precisely.
In the next second, the shoes that slowly stepped into the Kunming Palace were golden yellow, the color that symbolized the royal family.
"Six kings!"
"Six kings!"
"It's the Six Kings!"
"Six princes!"
The Sixth Prince, who came alone, had a pair of crystal-clear amber eyes like glazed glass.
Seeing the blood all over the floor and the messy corpses, the Sixth Prince did not frown, not even the slightest bit of superfluous shock on that young and calm face.
Lifting his dignified and upright face, he looked at the empress dowager standing in the distance, and bowed elegantly and perfectly: "My son, Huaiyu, has seen the empress. The empress has a phoenix body and a golden body."
Every word of his pronunciation, every cadence and ups and downs, was controlled just right reserved and elegant. After the salute, he stood up, and his long brown hair, which was much lighter than ordinary people, fell gently beside his noble face and fluttered slightly. stand up.
"What are the six kings doing here?"
Empress Dowager Xiao was displeased, but her voice still maintained her dignity: "Xiao Heng disobeyed my palace, and my palace ordered Xiao Heng to be killed on the spot. When Xiao Heng is dead, what the six kings want to say, I will talk to this palace slowly. "
After saying a wink, Eunuch Chang wanted to give an order, and the sixth prince's slow voice sounded: "Slow down."
The Janissaries were neither on the left nor on the right, which was embarrassing.
The Sixth Prince walked slowly to Xiao Heng's side, simply put himself in the most dangerous place, for the Empress Dowager to make an order, the imperial guards didn't have the guts to even shoot him to death with arrows.
"Are the six kings against me?"
It stands to reason that this is Kunming Palace, and in Kunming Palace, the Empress Dowager has the greatest decree, besides, what the Empress Dowager wants to behead at this time is not any favorite concubine of the Emperor, but the descendants of the Empress Dowager's own clan, and no one will say anything.
It would be a waste of words to change which prince came.But this is the Sixth Prince.The Sixth Prince is not only the parent and son of the Empress Dowager Xiao, but also the most favored younger brother of the Holy Majesty today, and he will act according to his face no matter what he says.
"My son dare not disobey his mother."
The Sixth Prince's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and indifferent.
"Kerchen has obeyed the emperor's secret decree, and came to discuss Xiao Heng's life with the queen mother."
Since he obeyed the secret decree of Emperor Yongyu Huaijin, it is reasonable and reasonable for the teacher to be well-known, and of course the Sixth Prince will succeed in no time.Even if Empress Dowager Xiao is the honorable empress dowager, she cannot disobey the emperor's imperial decree face to face.
"Brother Huang begged for Xiao Heng's life from his mother. I don't know if his mother would agree or not?"
The one who can get Xiao Heng's life from Empress Dowager Xiao's Kunming Palace must be the Sixth Prince.
Even if the secret decree of Emperor Yongyu Huaijin was obeyed, but if it was someone else, who would have the prestige to restrain the imperial guards who had already fired their arrows?Who has the prestige to stand up to the empress dowager?
Even if we don't talk about this prestige, the sixth prince Huaiyu is the biological son of Empress Dowager Xiao, no matter how vicious he is, it is impossible for archers to kill both of them together.
And this sixth prince who walks sideways in the palace and lies down outside the palace is that fierce senior brother in Liu Qiuse's family.
At that time, when he received the news from Mei Ruolan, when he rushed to the main altar of the Xuanxian Cult to save people, he opened the door and saw two dead men strung together on a sword, bleeding all over the ground. It's really not something ordinary people can bear.
Two people, one is his junior in his sect, and the other is his cousin he has known since childhood, it is impossible to ignore death without saving them, not to mention that this will drag people back from the gate of hell.
The problem is that he is not unfamiliar with these two people. Now that he knows Liu Qiuse's righteous and awe-inspiring face, like a fairy, he is cold and cold, and he also knows that Xiao Heng has become an emotionless job for the Empress Dowager Xiao when he was young. Dead man, these two people strung on Liu Qiuse's sword at such a close distance, the sixth prince is not a fool, he saw the clue at a glance.
It's not that enemies don't get together, especially the good and the evil, the fairy and the devil, and they are all solid-minded enemies, so it's easy to make such a life-and-death situation.
So neither of those two people could let him die.
Huaiyu, who is both a big brother and the sixth prince, has superb medical skills. He insisted on bringing the two people who had set foot on the Naihe Bridge back to the mortal world. The tone is sweet and the meaning is strong, the second son of Liu can't think about it, he doesn't want his righteousness to fall into the hands of this big devil who is screaming for killing and beating, and he doesn't want to be chasing and beating Xiao like before. Heng did not give up, so Mr. Liu turned his head, bit his teeth, and gave him two lives with one sword.
Since things seem to be like this, if Liu Qiuse wakes up and finds that Xiao Heng is not dead, how much sense of loss will there be!In order to prevent Liu Qiuse's emotional ups and downs from affecting his injury, the sixth prince quietly sent someone to send Xiao Heng back to Shangjing when both of them were still in a coma but their injuries were out of danger. Nor did the Empress Dowager Xiao know.
What a joke, if Empress Dowager Xiao knew about the killer chess piece she had raised with all her efforts, she was actually fascinated by the second son of Liu in the Jianghu, and even got into a situation where she would die or live, Empress Dowager Xiao would be furious Next, it would be strange not to kill both of them.
The Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know about it, but Qibushi in Shangjing Palace knew about it.Qibushi is the younger brother of the sixth prince, and he is also a great character in the Shangjing Palace. Although he has not learned any martial arts from his master, but when it comes to poisoning people and saving people, Qibushi's strength is also amazing.
With the care of the seven-step death, Xiao Heng was able to slowly recover from the fatal sword wound, and it took half a year and six months to reappear in the Jiangnan martial arts.
"Annoyed the queen, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth."
In the Yiqing Palace of the Six Kings, the Six Kings carefully pulled out the feather arrow from Xiao Heng's shoulder.
There was no pain on Xiao Heng's face.
"The six kings really obeyed the secret decree of the Holy One?"
"Yes."
The six kings were calm and elegant, and there was no wave in their beautiful eyes: "The emperor asked me to take your life, do you really think that you can break out of this forbidden palace?"
"Yes." Xiao Heng's body was covered with blood, but most of them were not his.If the Six Kings hadn't come, he would have been able to break out of the Kunming Palace with a desperate fight. Although he was seriously injured, he would still come out alive.
"Brother Huang had expected that you were going to bloodbath the Kunming Palace. As soon as he heard the news of your entering the palace, he rushed to ask me to stop it. I didn't expect it to be a step too late."
"Isn't the Six Kings always in Lijing, why did they come back to the palace at this time?" Xiao Heng thought carefully, and at first glance, he felt that it was not normal for the Six Kings to appear in the palace.
Although the Yiqing Palace was assigned to the six kings, in fact the six kings lived in the palace more often, what's more, they didn't even live in the palace. One disappeared for three to five years. It was very capricious. If it were not for Emperor Yongyu Huaijin called urgently, it was absolutely impossible.
"That's how you see it."
The six kings smiled gracefully, took the Jinchuang Medicine next to it and applied it to Xiao Heng's wound.
"Recently there have been constant rumors in the rivers and lakes, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. How can we Lijing Chongyang Tower be independent from the storm, and we are naturally involved in it."
He didn't want to talk too much, and Xiao Heng didn't want to ask too much, so he stood up and said, "I want to see the Holy One."
"Brother is busy."
The six kings packed up the medicines, handed them to the maid waiting outside, turned and came in: "The old man of King Yan is not easy to deal with, he is very shrewd, don't look at how much he enjoys in the rich and gentle village in the south of the Yangtze River. Forget the sensitivity of galloping on the battlefield in the early years. If there is any disturbance on the side of Shangjing, he will be aware of it immediately. The queen mother sent someone to take down Fengjianmen. knew."
"King Yan knows?"
Xiao Heng's heart skipped a beat, things were going in the worst direction.
"If you want to plead for Qiu Se's order, that's unnecessary. Since the King of Yan has sensed our actions, he must act first. If he loses the opportunity, Tianjuan Prince Qiu Ruyi will not be able to make this move. The King of Yan is very careful. , Everything is planned and then acted, so frightened him, there are disadvantages, but also advantages. The disadvantage is that I am afraid that the tiger will show its power immediately, and the advantage is that he will act hastily, and things will not be fully planned. There must be loopholes and loopholes. In this way, It will be easier for the emperor to deal with him."
"How are you going to deal with him?"
Xiao Heng asked in a deep voice.
"Woke him up, not a useless kitten."
"Brother Huang is very clear about this. Since the King of Yan is aware of the heaven and earth net laid by the Queen Mother, of course he will not sit idly by. King Yan still has the right to mobilize some troops, and the forces in the Ministry of War are intertwined. Naturally, he will mobilize all his resources. A big comeback."
"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Left and Right, General Yuan, Duhu of Qujiang, and many Jiedu envoys from other places are all of them. With this counterattack, will the Holy Majesty's position be secure?"
"Most of these people are grass-like characters on the wall, and there are only a few of them who are powerful. If we took down the Yan Palace earlier, most of them would not have any actions that can shake the Forbidden Palace. What we want to grab is first. Opportunity, as long as the action is first, the King of Yan has no time to organize the forces, and it is difficult to use it alone, so it is not in our pocket?"
Liu Wang's gentle smile was very cold, as if there was some frost and snow covering his gentle and elegant face.
"But these things, it's enough for Brother Huang to worry about it. You'd better go back to Xuanjing and see the treasure in your heart. Brother Heng, I'm worried about the autumn color with this action of King Yan..."
The worry of the six kings really became a reality.
"Master, tea."
In the famous teahouse in Xuanjing, south of the Yangtze River, the members of the Tianwei Hall, dressed in black clothes with purple cloud patterns, carefully offered teacups. Seeing that delicate face suddenly worried and angry, their little hearts became entangled with each other.
