Nie Li retracted his foot, somersaulted in the air, and landed firmly on the ground. The others could see the corpse in the deep pit from afar. It had already turned into a pile of minced meat, blood splattering everywhere. When the others saw how strong Nie Li was, they sucked in a breath of cold air. This late Xiantian youth gave them a sense of oppression.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Nie Li looked at the people around him. His gaze was fierce and incomparably cold. When the others saw such a murderous gaze, they didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"No, then obediently obey my orders." Nie Li couldn't help sneering when he saw that these people had actually given in.
Although the others saw Nie Li's ridicule, they couldn't do anything about it. Although they were angry, considering their own strength, they weren't confident. Silence was the best answer.
"Alright, since that's the case, then obey my orders. In a moment, everyone will head to the Song Capital and gather at the King's Mansion. " Bo Gui suddenly issued an order. When Nie Li heard Bo Gui's words, he slightly frowned. Just what was going on?
"Don't ask too much. You'll understand tonight." After Bo Gui finished speaking, he led everyone towards the Song Capital. Everyone hid themselves in the crowd and blended into the Song Capital. As for Nie Li, he quickened his pace and headed to the place where Du Ze and his son were hidden.
Fortunately, the two of them weren't discovered. When Du Ze saw Nie Li rushing over, he had a bad premonition in his heart. However, he didn't reveal it. After all, there wasn't anything that could cause too much trouble for him.
"You're in a dangerous situation right now. Leave quickly." Nie Li couldn't guarantee that no one would come here. Who knows, Bo Gui might send someone over.
"Alright." Du Ze didn't say anything else and just nodded. Nie Li coming over to inform him was already the greatest help he could give. As for Du Heng, he'd have to take care of him himself.
"Take this money. Go to the south! Go to Cloud Sea City and find Fang Tong. " Nie Li took out a pouch of money and handed it to Du Ze. This money was enough for him to reach Cloud Sea City. Once he reached Cloud Sea City, Du Ze could find a place to settle down. He was now an ordinary person! He didn't have any status, nor was he a threat.
"So you're from that side." Hearing Nie Li mention Fang Tong, Du Ze suddenly understood. His eyes flashed with ridicule.
"That's right."
"Zhao Qiyi is truly a good emperor. He sent me into the abyss and then sent his own people to rescue me from the abyss. I'm afraid that 'I' is already in the Prince's Mansion. His plan is too ruthless. "Du Ze laughed. As for the 'good Emperor' that he mentioned, he must be mocking Zhao Qiyi.
Du Ze was well aware of the conflict between Zhao Qiyi and Zhao Qining, so he naturally guessed it right away. "Cut the crap, I'm leaving. Take this money and leave with Du Heng. Go to Cloud Sea City and live out your old age peacefully! "Nie Li couldn't afford to waste too much time.
"Thank you. Finally, I want to ask you why you helped me so much. Wouldn't it be better to just kill me? That way, there won't be any risk. " Du Ze looked at Nie Li and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart. Ever since Nie Li saved him, Nie Li could have killed him.
"You're a good father."
"Hahahahaha, what a wonderful person. However, I'll give you one last piece of advice. Be careful of Zhao Qiyi. He's a wild beast that eats people without spitting out their bones. "Du Ze finally warned.
"Nie Li, go to the Imperial Uncle's Mansion. There are some things inside that might be useful to you. I'll hide them under that willow tree. "
Nie Li didn't reply and turned around to leave. Du Ze looked at Nie Li's departing figure, his hand gripping the money pouch. The heavy pouch contained money that ordinary people wouldn't be able to spend in their lifetime. However, it still weighed heavily on Du Ze's heart.
He walked into the underground chamber and saw Du Heng curled up on the ground. The bowls on the ground were scattered, but most of them had already been eaten. Du Ze walked to Du Heng's side and slowly squatted down. He used his hand to push Du Heng's hair aside, revealing his hidden face. His brows were tightly knitted, and his lips were trembling even in sleep.
"It must be very painful!" Du Ze caressed his son's face. Du Heng's brows relaxed and his expression returned to normal.
"I've been toyed with in the palm of power my entire life. In the end, I even harmed you. In your next life, you must live in an ordinary family. I still want to give birth to you and raise you. "As Du Ze spoke, his lips carried a satisfied smile, but his eyes were filled with tears.
"Heng 'er, sleep! This pain will end soon. " Du Ze picked up the bowl on the ground and smashed it, cutting Du Heng's neck. Du Heng opened his eyes, covered his neck, and began to roll around crazily.
Du Ze looked at his son's gradually calming body and pushed the oil lamp against the wall. The splashing sparks ignited this life. The flame in the haystack quickly drowned the two people.
Du Ze held the dead Du Heng and sat on the ground calmly. He wrapped his arms around Du Heng to protect him. The flame climbed up his body little by little. The sea of fire swallowed him and Du Heng.
"Hahahaha, everything will end soon." Du Heng's wild laughter was hidden in the raging fire. His unwilling roar slowly calmed down in the burning fire. The money pouch in Du Heng's arms was ignited. Countless gold fell into the fire and disappeared.
Nie Li, who had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion, didn't know what was going on here. He walked into the Prince's Mansion and found that the atmosphere was different from usual. Not only were there more guards, but they were also much stronger.
Nie Li entered the hall and found many familiar faces. Many of them were officials of the imperial court. At this time, they were sitting in the hall. Zhao Qining was tapping the table with his fingers.
"Your Highness, why did you call us here?" Shao Zhengming asked. He didn't think that Zhao Qining would call them here for no reason.
"I'm here today to tell you one thing." Zhao Qining looked around and said, "Come out!" Du Ze came out of the side room. The others were shocked when they saw Du Ze. They certainly knew that Du Ze was kidnapped a few days ago.
"Your Highness, it's a big crime to hide imperial orders." Shao Zhengming said righteously.
"Bullshit imperial court." Zhao Qining cursed directly. The others trembled when they heard Zhao Qining's words. If this kind of disgraceful words were spread out, the nine generations of the family would be killed.
"Imperial Uncle, why don't you tell these people the secret?" Zhao Qining looked at everyone complacently. He was looking forward to these people's reactions when the secret was made public.
"The current Emperor is not a member of the Zhao Family." Du Ze's words were very simple, but it was enough to shock them. When the others heard it, their hearts were in turmoil. However, each and every one of them was old and shrewd. They looked down and pretended to be calm.
"Alright, I've said what needs to be said. Now, it's time for you to make a choice. Choose me or that bastard. " Zhao Qining directly forced the Emperor to abdicate. He wanted everyone to make a choice. If they chose him, they would be rebelling. If they didn't choose him, they wouldn't be able to leave the palace.
"I, Shao Zhengming, will not collude with you. Today, if you want to kill me, then do as you please. " Shao Zhengming was not afraid of this. He directly stood up. Zhao Qining was embarrassed by his lack of understanding of the situation.
"What about the others?" Zhao Qining asked again. The others didn't immediately respond.
"I, Yue Yun, will not do such a rebellious thing." Yue Yun stood up. Chen Xu followed him and made their position clear. Even the Duan Family and Murong Family also made their position clear. They will not join hands.
Zhao Qining looked extremely unsightly when he saw everyone leaning towards the Emperor. "Alright, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Someone come! Keep an eye on them. Wait until I sit on the throne, then I will deal with you. " Zhao Qining said. The surroundings were immediately filled with soldiers. Many Jianghu experts also rushed out and surrounded these people.
"You …" Yue Yun wanted to circulate his internal energy, but he found that he had no internal energy. His face was deathly pale.
"Don't struggle. I drugged your tea. I thought you would be obedient, but now it seems that I need to use some special methods. "Zhao Qining grinned nastily. He ordered people to tie everyone up and lock them up.
"Zhao Qining, you are doing such a rebellious thing. You will be punished by the heavens." Someone cursed angrily.
"What's there to be afraid of? I am just taking back what belongs to me."
"Today, I will eat the Emperor's food and serve the Emperor. I, Zhao Qining, promise you glory, splendor, wealth, and rank. I only hope that you can help me accomplish my great cause. "The hall was filled with Zhao Qining's people, aside from those who were locked up.
Nie Li saw Zhao Qining speaking to the people around him. These people were all very strong. Even Bu Gui wasn't particularly conspicuous among them.
"We understand." These people could only nod their heads in agreement. As Zhao Qining's followers, they knew what Zhao Qining wanted. However, if they didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Alright. Tonight, I want this world." Zhao Qining stood up and waved his hand. Everyone scattered in all directions. "Ghost Emissaries, come with me," Bu Gui said to Nie Li behind him. Nie Li silently followed behind Bu Gui.
"Tonight, our mission is to delay the army," Bu Gui ordered his subordinates. Bu Gui ordered his men. Once the battle started, the town's main army would definitely rush over. Their mission was to delay the town's main army.
When Nie Li heard Bu Gui's words, he understood what Zhao Qining was planning to do. However, he didn't expect him to act so early. Time passed, minute by minute, second by second. When night fell, the Song Capital, which had gradually quieted down, didn't notice the huge changes that were about to happen. At this moment, countless people from the underworld and countless soldiers had gathered in the Prince's Mansion.
Among them was Zhao Bao, whom Nie Li had met last time. Although he had paid a heavy price to attack the Black Mountain Stronghold, Zhao Qining still had plenty of troops under him. Nie Li naturally understood that Zhao Qining had attacked the Black Mountain Stronghold. However, he had secretly wanted to transport those weapons. Unfortunately, Nie Li had stolen them. Otherwise, Zhao Qining's forces would have grown by quite a bit.
"Winner takes all. Success or failure depends on this. Everyone, follow me. " Zhao Qining was dressed in armor and wielded a longsword. He sat on a precious horse and commanded countless soldiers in an awe-inspiring manner.
"Ghost Emissaries, let's go!" Bu Gui said to Nie Li. Then, Ying Sha disappeared into the night. They had their own mission. They were the blades of the night. The mighty sound of hooves rapidly galloped towards the Imperial Palace.
Nie Li and Ying Sha looked at the countless torches. There were as many as the stars in the sky, blocking the street. The river of stars in the sky and the torches on the ground resonated with each other, blurring their vision.
