"Ghost Emissary, stop looking. We still have a mission, "Bo Gui said to Bo Gui. Nie Li also turned his head, no longer looking at the army. Instead, he followed Bo Gui to set up an ambush.
Battle cries gradually rang out from behind them. Flames lit up the palace's red walls, making them even more dazzling. From afar, they could see the weak reflection of the lanterns, hiding the glint of blades, swords, and fresh blood.
"Speed up!" Bo Gui ordered loudly as he sped up. The people behind him had no choice but to speed up as well.
Soon, the Shadow Killer's men saw the garrison army rushing towards the palace. They'd also heard the commotion there. Furthermore, Pan Yong hadn't been summoned to the King's Mansion of the Capital. If he was also under house arrest, the imperial city would have no room to resist.
"Everyone, attack!" Bo Gui didn't care about the stamina of the others. He took the lead and charged at Pan Yong. When the others saw Bo Gui charging forward, they joined the battle, including Nie Li.
But soon, Nie Li discovered that there was a problem with Bo Gui's strategy. The garrison army had sent out five hundred people, a steady stream of them joining the battle. On the other hand, there were less than a hundred of them. How could one person win against five?
It was impossible for Bo Gui to make such a simple mistake. Furthermore, the five of them had plenty of room to maneuver against Nie Li's attacks. Nie Li could dodge all of them with his movement technique. This left Nie Li even more puzzled. The others had already fallen.
Many of them realized that they weren't a match and were preparing to scatter and flee. "Run! We can't beat them," one person said. The others began to think of fleeing.
"Kill them," Pan Yong ordered as he pushed Bo Gui aside. Everyone became even more valiant. The situation was one-sided. However, Bo Gui's actions left Nie Li even more puzzled and shaken.
"Dragon Catcher Hand." Bo Gui's five fingers formed a claw as he grabbed at the fleeing person. A powerful suction force pulled the fleeing person over. Bo Gui grabbed the person's head and squeezed, tearing the person's skull apart. Brain matter flowed out of the holes in his fingers.
"My Lord, you …" The others looked at Bo Gui in disbelief. They never imagined that he would suddenly attack one of their own. "Lord Pan, hurry up and attack," Bo Gui said to Pan Yong. Pan Yong shouted. Astral Qi surged out from his body. Everywhere it passed, the Shadow Killer members fell one after another. Bang! Bang! Bang! Seeing this, Nie Li's heart was on tenterhooks. Could it be that he had to expose his identity?
"Seven Kills, follow me and kill these people." When Nie Li heard that, he silently took out the Autumn Rain Saber from his ring, executed the Nameless Saber Art, and began his massacre.
"The two of you will die a horrible death." The others were quickly slaughtered by the central army, Bo Gui, and Nie Li. However, when they finally looked at Nie Li and Bo Gui, their eyes were filled with hatred.
"Are you very confused?" Bu Gui looked at Nie Li. The army had already begun to clean up the battlefield. "Indeed." Nie Li looked at Bu Gui. Since Bu Gui could guess his identity, he should be one of the Patrol Envoy's people.
"I am Pojun, one of the Black Emissaries. I was ordered by the Emperor to sneak into the Prince's Mansion in Jingyang to find evidence of Prince Jingyang's rebellion." Bo Gui immediately revealed his identity. Nie Li never thought that Bo Gui would be Defeating Armies, a Black Envoy like himself.
If Bo Gui was Defeating Armies, then everything before seemed to make sense. Whether it was his help to Nie Li or the fact that he had stolen the weapons, it was likely that Bo Gui had helped him behind the scenes.
"Then, did you take away the weapons?" Nie Li asked. The weapons he had left behind had suddenly disappeared. Could it have been taken away by Bo Gui? Because at that time, Bo Gui had found him.
"No. When I sent people over, there was nothing left." Bo Gui shook his head. After hearing this, Nie Li muttered to himself and didn't say anything else. If it wasn't Bo Gui, then who was it? It seemed that a pair of eyes had been following him. Thinking of this, Nie Li couldn't help but shrink back.
"What's wrong?" Bo Gui asked when he saw Nie Li's strange expression. Whether it was helping Zhao Bao break into the Black Mountain Stronghold or discovering the weapons, Nie Li had contributed greatly. No wonder the Emperor trusted him so much and dared to send a Xiantian realm expert to help him.
"Nothing." Nie Li simply shook his head. He didn't reveal too much. "What about the palace?" Nie Li asked. Since so much time had passed, Prince Jingyang's people should have already arrived at the palace.
"Don't worry, the Emperor has already made preparations. We'll just wait for him to take the bait. Let's go together! "Bo Gui led Nie Li to the palace, while Pan Yong and his men stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
Nie Li and Bo Gui changed into the Black Envoy's clothes and masks. At this time, the palace was completely surrounded. The large main hall was filled with soldiers, armed with bows and arrows. The Song Emperor stood alone in front of the main hall, with only an old eunuch by his side. They were surrounded by soldiers, but it was clear that Zhao Qiyi's current military strength was not enough to contend with Zhao Qining.
"Imperial Brother, you didn't expect this, right? You also have a day like this. " Zhao Qining dismounted from his horse and raised his head to look at Zhao Qiyi. His arrogant appearance was full of pride.
Zhao Qiyi looked at Zhao Qining, his face filled with anger as he gnashed his teeth and said, "Qining, you're rebelling."
"I'm not rebelling. I'm just taking what belongs to me. Zhao Qiyi, don't forget, you're not a member of the Zhao Family. I'm the legitimate bloodline of the Zhao Family. This country should be ruled by me. "Zhao Qining's face was ferocious, his expression demented.
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Qiyi shouted. He naturally understood the impact of Zhao Qining's words.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, there's no harm in letting Imperial Uncle tell everyone." Zhao Qining looked at Zhao Qiyi's stubborn appearance and couldn't help but sneer. He immediately had someone bring Du Ze out.
"Imperial Uncle, when you were imprisoned, you were framed by Zhao Qiyi. Now that I'm protecting you, you can tell the truth. " Zhao Qining looked at Du Ze's cowering appearance and inwardly cursed him for not living up to expectations. However, when he thought about how Du Ze's role was about to be played out, he didn't pursue the matter.
"Zhao Qining, you traitor, you're talking nonsense. In order to frame His Majesty, you actually threatened me. Now, in order to rebel, you want me to say such big words. "Du Ze suddenly acted out of character and cursed at Zhao Qining.
"You, go to hell!" When Zhao Qining saw that Du Ze had unexpectedly said such words at this juncture, he knew that he had been made a fool of. He pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed at Du Ze.
However, Du Ze's skills were exceptional. He dodged the attack and quickly escaped from the crowd, running to Emperor Song's side. "Du Ze, what are you doing?" When Zhao Qining saw Du Ze standing next to Zhao Qiyi, the uneasiness in his heart grew even stronger.
"Zhao Qining, look at me now. Am I Du Ze?" Lian Zhen tore off the mask in his hand, revealing his original appearance. Zhao Qining looked at Lian Zhen, clenching his fists. He wished he could tear off his bones and eat his flesh.
"That's impossible. I remember saving Imperial Uncle back then." Zhao Qining still couldn't believe it. He was certain that Du Ze was the one who had exchanged Shadow Killer for him. So why was it Lian Zhen?
"Indeed, the one you rescued at that time was indeed the Imperial Granduncle, but the one you escorted was not the Imperial Granduncle," Emperor Song said mockingly. He looked at Zhao Qining with eyes full of pity and disdain.
"Nie Li, I didn't expect it to be him." Zhao Qining recalled that it was Nie Li who had escorted Du Ze to his residence. From the looks of it, Nie Li and Lian Zhen had come to an agreement. In that case, Nie Li was also Emperor Song's subordinate.
"Imperial Brother, I didn't expect this! Your men are really everywhere. However, in the current situation, what can you rely on to make a comeback? The town's army is being held back by my men. The others are also under house arrest. The city's army cannot be transferred over. "Although Zhao Qining was furious, the current situation was still very advantageous to him.
"Do you really think that your men are helping me hold back the town's army? Turn around and look! " Emperor Song pointed behind Zhao Qining, only to see Pan Yong leading the town's army from behind, tearing apart the formation like a sharp blade.
"Impossible." Zhao Qining muttered to himself. Bu Gui's strength was not inferior to Pan Yong's. How could he be defeated so quickly? Unless there was another possibility. Thinking of this, Zhao Qining's body trembled.
"Bu Gui is also one of your men!" Zhao Qining said calmly. However, the anger and uneasiness in his heart had gradually increased. The subordinate he trusted so much, who had followed him for so many years, was also one of Emperor Song's men. Emperor Song had played a very big game of chess for today.
"Everyone, kill!" Zhao Qining looked at the town's army. He might as well go all out. Now that he had a lot of men, even if the town's army came, it would at most be a desperate struggle.
"Kill!" Zhao Qiyi looked at the army approaching step by step. There was no trace of panic on his face. "Your Majesty," the old eunuch next to the Emperor said. His face was fierce, but his eyes were filled with worry.
"It's okay. I believe in him." Zhao Qiyi shook his head, still standing in place. "Shoot!" Zhao Qining ordered. A rain of arrows poured down from the sky. The old eunuch next to Zhao Qiyi waved his hand and released his earth energy, blocking the arrows. However, the soldiers protecting Zhao Qiyi were not so lucky. After a wave of attack, more than half of them fell.
"Zhao Qiyi, surrender obediently! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. " Zhao Qining looked at Zhao Qiyi's calm appearance and felt even more unhappy. With the situation already like this, how could he fight with him?
"Surrendering is impossible. However, the show has just begun. "Zhao Qiyi looked into the distance and suddenly revealed a trace of a smile.
Zhao Qining looked at Zhao Qiyi's smile and turned around to look. Only then did he discover that countless soldiers had appeared around the palace.
"Kill!" Shouts shook the sky. Zhao Qining actually saw Yue Yun and Chen Xu leading their troops. There were also people from the Murong family. Although there were few people from the Duan family, there were still some.
"How could this be? Weren't you imprisoned by me?" Zhao Qining looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.
"This is all thanks to Zhao Chujian. His Highness the Crown Prince helped us escape." Murong Qi looked at Zhao Qining's appearance, full of sarcasm. He did not expect that Zhao Qining would be betrayed by his son in the end.
"Chujian? Impossible. "Zhao Qining obviously could not accept the fact that he was betrayed by his son.
"Unexpected! Chujian has always been one of my people. He is a reasonable person. He understands that the common people of this world need a stable life. I, Zhao Qiyi, can do it, but you can't. "Zhao Qiyi looked at Zhao Qining with pity.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Why, why? "Zhao Qining seemed to have gone crazy, his face sinister.
"Everyone, kill for me. Whoever gets Zhao Qiyi's head will be crowned King." Zhao Qining had already gone crazy. He did not care about the result and chose to go all out.
