Taiping Inn

The four "Tai Shi Sword Qis" stood like four huge pillars in the capital city.

Seeing this, Elder Long's expression eased and he sighed, "Li Daoxu finally made a move."

The faces of the Golden Toad Old Man and the Red Sheep Old Man showed joy.

No one thought that Li Xuan would be a match for Li Daoxu.

The Golden Toad Old Man was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Li Daoxu is still a little too arrogant. If he keeps the four "Taishi Sword Qi" and does not use them, Li Xuandu will definitely lose. Now there are still variables."

Chiyang Weng shook his head and said: "If Li Daoxu is just seeking victory, then why does he appear here today? It is precisely because he is not simply trying to defeat Li Xuandu that he appears here at this time."

Old Man Long suddenly said: "I am more worried about Li Xuandu's many arrangements."

Both of them were stunned, and then looked at Old Man Long and asked: "Why do you say that, Senior Brother?"

Old Man Long said slowly: "Li Xuandu has people blocking Tan Taiyun, and has mobilized so many people to gather at the Sheji Altar, and even has the leisure to instigate the Emperor's Party and the Queen's Party. So what do you think, will Li Xuandu leave a backup to guard against us? If he has a backup, then where is this backup now?"

Chiyang Weng said: Thoughtfully, "It depends on how well Li Xuandu knows us."

The Golden Toad Old Man disagreed, "I don't think so. I think this is all the manpower that Li Xuandu can mobilize. If there is a backup plan, then he is no different from the Taoist Grand Master."

The Red Sheep Old Man smiled bitterly, "Isn't Li Xuandu the Taoist Grand Master? Li Daoxu doesn't want to stay in the world for long, and Qin Qing wants to be the emperor of the world. Who can compete with him for the position of Grand Master? He has long been the Grand Master in reality without the name of Grand Master, and he is only one step away from it."

The Golden Toad Old Man sighed, "This child will become a big problem, and he must not be kept."

"Don't you think it's too late to say this?" Old Man Long said lightly, "This child has become a big problem. It is not up to us to keep him or not."

The Red Sheep Old Man said softly, "But now is a great opportunity."

...

In the palace, the Queen's bedroom.

The Emperor Tianbao walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little uneasy. But there are two kinds of uneasiness, one is uneasiness, the other is excitement.

The queen stood by and said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tianbao stopped suddenly, unable to hide his excitement.

Before the queen asked, Emperor Tianbao took the initiative to say: "In a short time, I... No, I, I am the real emperor."

The queen immediately understood why Emperor Tianbao was so excited.

After a while, Emperor Tianbao took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and hurriedly left the queen's bedroom to meet Mr. Bailu, whom he regarded as a real teacher.

Mr. Bailu was also waiting for Emperor Tianbao.

When Emperor Tianbao saw Mr. Bailu, he said straight to the point: "Sir, from today onwards..."

Mr. Bailu raised his hand to stop Emperor Tianbao from speaking, and whispered: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

Emperor Tianbao nodded, but still couldn't help saying: "Fortunately, they are not in harmony with each other. If they join forces, who will be the opponent?"

Mr. Bailu sighed: "There is no two suns in the sky, no two masters in a country, and no two tigers in a mountain, even if they are father and son."

...

Imperial Capital City.

In Shi Hengbo's private residence, corpses were everywhere, including maids, servants, and more dead soldiers and people from the underworld.

Shi Hengbo was covered in blood, no longer with her usual demeanor, and looked very embarrassed. She sat against the wall, panting heavily.

At the beginning, these people planned to capture her alive, but they didn't expect that she had a good cultivation, and she killed several people. Then the two sides started a fierce battle, and the group of people were so angry that they no longer thought about capturing her alive, but wanted to put her to death.

So she started to get hurt.

Fortunately, the children of the Hou Party did not take Shi Hengbo seriously, and the number of people sent was not large, and the main manpower was concentrated in the residences of the two important officials of the Emperor Party.

Unfortunately, the main focus of the Confucian School was also on the two important officials of the Emperor Party, and Shi Hengbo was neglected, and no one was sent to rescue.

When Shi Hengbo killed the last Hou Party assassin by herself, she was the only living person in the whole private house, except for those who escaped in the middle.

Shi Hengbo didn't know what Emperor Tianbao was doing at this time, she only knew that she was about to die.

Just now, a assassin stabbed her abdomen with a knife before dying. The wound was like a broken dam, making her weaker and weaker. After all, her physique was just ordinary, not a human immortal physique, and she had not learned any "leakage pass" and "six directions and eight wastelands immortal body". At first, she could barely maintain it with her qi, but as she fought fiercely with others, the qi in her body was almost exhausted and could no longer maintain it.

Shi Hengbo stretched out her hand to press the wound, blood continued to flow out from the gaps between her five fingers, like a winding stream, dyeing her skirt and embroidered shoes red, and then flowing to the ground, gathering into a pool of blood.

Her eyes began to blacken, and waves of dizziness came like a tide.

However, Shi Hengbo still saw all kinds of strange visions. She didn't need to guess that something big happened in the Imperial Capital today, and she was just an innocent victim.

After a while, Shi Hengbo felt cold all over, curled up subconsciously, and muttered to herself: "After a lifetime of wandering, I ended up like this."

Just when Shi Hengbo couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to close his eyes, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Are you just accepting your fate?"

Along with this voice came a glimmer of hope, which gave Shi Hengbo some strength. He lifted his eyelids, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and looked at the figure in front of him.

Shi Hengbo was surprised and said, "Miss Yao, Miss Yao?"

Yao Xianglian asked directly, "Do you want to live or die?"

Shi Hengbo hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I want to live."

"Very good." Yao Xianglian stretched out his hand to grab Shi Hengbo, who only felt his eyes go black and then he lost consciousness.

…

The top of the city wall of Zhengyang Gate.

Both sides agreed to temporarily cease fighting and confronted each other from a distance.

Tan Taiyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Qin Su, and asked, "What would you think if Li Xuandu died at the hands of Li Daoxu?"

Qin Su had expected this scene a long time ago, and was not surprised. Instead, she was very calm and said, "I wouldn't think anything."

Although Tan Taiyun could not do anything to the many masters in front of him without risking his life, he was not afraid that these people could hurt him. At this time, he ignored the many masters, took out a wine gourd from his Xumi treasure, pulled out the cork, raised his head and drank, and then wiped the wine stains left at the corners of his mouth with his sleeves: "Your man died just like that, don't you have any thoughts?"

Qin Su's eyebrows did not have the slightest worry, and said in a firm tone: "Zi Fu will not die. Even if everyone does not believe him, I believe."

Tan Taiyun smiled and said, "Dead or alive, you have no say. If he really died, we are in the same boat, and I will recognize you as my sister, how about it?"

Qin Su was indifferent.

…

Such an incident happened in the imperial capital. As the leader of the kings, the King of Jin certainly could not remain indifferent, let alone learn from scholars to ignore what was happening outside.

In the second year of Tianbao, it was the Queen Mother Xie Zhi who confronted the four ministers appointed by the previous emperor, and the four ministers died and their families were destroyed. The Queen Mother Xie Zhi was able to win, and the King of Jin played an indispensable role.

At that time, the King of Jin saw the four ministers die tragically in prison, and their families and followers were beheaded and exiled.

These scenes will never be forgotten by the King of Jin.

At that moment, he was thinking about what would happen if he lost.

Now another change in the imperial capital is in front of him, and he has to consider whether this will be his last chance.

Life and death are in front of him, and he has to fight hard.

The King of Jin visited several Confucian priests and mountain masters, but these priests and mountain masters were all closed-door and unwilling to come out. The priests were mostly in favor of peace, and only the hermits were in favor of war.

As a last resort, the King of Jin had to come to the Imperial Observatory to see Elder Long.

However, he did not see Elder Long, but saw Ziyan Mountain Man who had just come out of retreat.

At this time, Ziyan Mountain Man's demeanor had changed a little. He was less upright and awe-inspiring than many Confucian people, and more mysterious and unpredictable. Especially the four bone staffs hanging behind him like a peacock spreading its tail, which made the King of Jin feel extremely scared.

Ziyan Mountain Man said: "The Great Sword Immortal has come out, why should the King of Jin worry?"

The King of Jin whispered: "That being said, there is still Liaodong watching closely, so we must be on guard."
