When Song Qingshu came back and saw the tense situation, he couldn't help but be startled. "What's going on?"
It turned out that the man in black just now was him in disguise to help Yuan Chengzhi out. After he led the pursuers around, he used his Qinggong to shake off the people behind him and quietly circled back. As soon as he circled back, he saw the scene in front of him.
"It seems that these guards want to capture Wen Fei …" Xia Qingqing frowned and told him what had just happened.
Song Qingshu also felt that it was strange. Even if there really was a case involving Wen Fei, she was of noble status. Logically, the Ministry of Justice shouldn't be involved.
At this time, the group of guards was closing in. If they took a few more steps forward, no matter how high their martial arts were, they would be cut to death in a flurry of swords and spears. Although Yuan Chengzhi lost his memory, he still had the instincts of a master. He quickly realized this and hurriedly said to Xiao Zhonghui behind him, "Xiao Hui, now that things have come to this, I will take you to kill your way out."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhonghui shook her head. "No, if I leave, I will implicate my parents and family." The main reason why she married the emperor even though she loved Yuan Chengzhi was mainly because of this.
Yuan Chengzhi hurriedly said, "But I heard that your father was involved in a case of rebellion. Originally, we didn't think it was a big deal, but now that people are directly sent to capture you, I think the destruction of your family is a foregone conclusion. At this time, if one can leave, then one can leave."
Xiao Zhonghui still shook her head. "After all, I gave birth to the emperor's son. For Xiao Ao's sake, the emperor won't do anything to me. Instead, if I escape, then it will be hard to explain."
Not far away, Song Qingshu secretly shook his head. After all, Yuan Chengzhi used to dominate a region. In this short period of time, he had already seen through the interests of the situation. On the contrary, Xiao Zhonghui was still a bit soft-hearted. At this time, she still fantasized about using her son to clear the injustice of the family. It was really a bit ridiculous.
"Big Brother Yuan, why don't you leave first?" Xiao Zhonghui also understood that she might be able to use her son to avoid punishment, but not Yuan Chengzhi. If something happened to him, it would be too late for regrets.
Yuan Chengzhi had a conflicted look on his face. Clearly, he didn't know whether he should forcibly take her away or leave on his own. While he was hesitating, the soldiers around him had already surrounded him. The spears in their hands were about to pierce his body.
He instinctively waved his hand and broke the long spear that was reaching in front of him. However, this instantly poked the hornet's nest. The guards no longer held back and swarmed towards him.
Yuan Chengzhi's expression changed, and he waved his palm to deflect the dozens of spears on his left. Then, he leapt onto the spears on his right and jumped out of the encirclement.
Before those people could react, Yuan Chengzhi's palms kept slapping those people to the north. More than ten imperial bodyguards on the right immediately fell to the ground, heavily injured. Although they didn't die, they lost the ability to fight.
Song Qingshu inwardly nodded. Martial arts experts were most afraid of being surrounded by soldiers and having no space to display their skills. At that time, even the most skilled martial artist would be chopped into meat paste. Yuan Chengzhi borrowed the force to jump out of the encirclement in the nick of time. Whether it was his eyesight or his Qing Gong, they were both top-notch. Moreover, looking at the strength of his palms, it seemed that he was a realm higher than when he was on Mount Tai.
Those imperial bodyguards cried out. Unfortunately, Yuan Chengzhi had the upper hand. He didn't give them the slightest chance to catch their breath. He grabbed a knife and instantly killed more than ten people.
Those imperial bodyguard leaders could no longer sit still. One by one, they pulled out their knives and rushed forward. Unfortunately, Yuan Chengzhi had learned the Lightning Changes of Interchangeability, one of the world's top Qing Gong. His whole body was like a loach in the water. They couldn't surround him at all. Instead, with a flurry of attacks, another ten or twenty people fell to the ground. Even a few of the imperial bodyguard leaders were injured.
"Big Brother Yuan's martial arts have actually improved so much!" Xia Qingqing, who was not far away, was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that he would be able to easily deal with this 100-man team.
"The Nine Transformations Art of Origin is quite interesting." Song Qingshu secretly nodded. Previously, Yuan Chengzhi could be considered a top-notch expert in Jianghu with the Huashan Sect's martial arts, the Lightning Changes of Interchangeability, and the Golden Snake Sword Technique. However, compared to a Grandmaster, he was still a little lacking. Now, Yuan Chengzhi was not afraid of a Grandmaster at all. In fact, in terms of inner power alone, he was even stronger than many Grandmaster experts. However, in this world, the higher one's inner power was, the more powerful one would be.
Of course, this time, the reason why Liao's team of imperial bodyguards lost so miserably was because they were not prepared at the beginning. Originally, they were only here to capture a concubine. Sending a few dozen people was already a huge effort. They didn't expect that Yuan Chengzhi was actually an expert among experts. If they had brought bows and arrows, shields, and the like, they wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Seeing that Yuan Chengzhi was about to deal with this group of imperial bodyguards, suddenly, an angry roar rang out. A tall and sturdy figure rushed out from the side and attacked Yuan Chengzhi. Before the person arrived, the strong wind that he brought with him made the faces of many imperial bodyguards hurt.
Feeling the other party's aura, Yuan Chengzhi was secretly shocked. He didn't dare to be careless and let go of the imperial bodyguard leaders, focusing all of his attention on dealing with this person.
The two of them fought, and the surrounding imperial bodyguards who couldn't dodge in time were either sent flying or had their bones and tendons broken. Very quickly, the group of imperial bodyguards hurriedly retreated tens of feet away. Even some of the people who were injured earlier struggled to crawl out of the battle circle, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.
"Eh, it's actually him?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but be a little surprised. This expert who suddenly joined in was none other than Xiao Yuanshan, whom he had met before.
"Why is he in the palace?" Just as Song Qingshu was feeling puzzled, he heard the words of the imperial bodyguards and roughly understood. It turned out that Xiao Yuanshan was now Liao's Imperial Inspector, the head of the imperial bodyguards.
After disappearing for tens of years, as soon as he returned, he took on such an important position? Song Qingshu was a little confused about Liao's official position arrangement, but when he thought about how Xiao Yuanshan was the head instructor of Liao's Shan Army before the incident, and how he was now promoted to Imperial Inspector, it made sense.
"Perhaps it's more to rope in the King of the Southern Courtyard, Xiao Feng." Song Qingshu guessed. The current Emperor of Liao, Yelu Hongji, favored Xiao Feng incomparably. The King of the Southern Courtyard was originally not among the top five in terms of power in Liao, but because of this Emperor's favor, the common people forcefully regarded Xiao Feng as the second most powerful person in Liao.
In this short period of time, the two of them had already fought for tens of rounds. Even Song Qingshu, who was so far away, could feel the wind from their fists and kicks.
"Big Brother Song, who will win and who will lose in the end?" Xia Qingqing, who was at the side, could not help but ask. The two figures exchanged blows, and in the end, it was impossible to see who was who.
Xia Qingqing could not help but ask. Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "After Yuan Chengzhi underwent Nirvana with the Nine Transformations Immemorial Technique, there are few in Jianghu who can match him in terms of internal energy. However, he has lost his memories after all, and in the past, he could only use many of his martial arts instinctively. In addition, he could not use the Golden Snake Sword Technique, which has the highest attack power. If they only fight with fists and kicks, I'm afraid he is not Xiao Yuanshan's match. Right now, he is only relying on his incomparably vigorous internal energy to fight evenly with Xiao Yuanshan. In another two or three hundred moves, if his internal energy is slightly lacking, I'm afraid he will lose."
"Ah!" Xia Qingqing exclaimed. Even though she had already said that she had completely severed ties with Yuan Chengzhi, he was still her husband. Seeing him in danger, she could not help but worry for him.
Song Qingshu continued, "Actually, even if he has the Golden Snake Sword in his hand, it will not help. Right now, with Xiao Yuanshan holding him back, and an endless stream of guards rushing over, I'm afraid he will not be able to leave today."
Just as he finished speaking, a large group of guards had already jogged in. The person in the lead was Xiao Eleventh Lang, whom they had met before! With a wave of his hand, the guards under him spread out, vaguely surrounding the two people in the center, ready to step forward and help at any time.
"There's actually such an expert among the guards in the palace?" Seeing Yuan Chengzhi make his move, Xiao Eleventh Lang could not help but feel a little excited at the sight of his prey, as if he had an urge to draw his sword. As the deputy inspector of the Front Palace Department, he had naturally seen Yuan Chengzhi before. It was just that he had not expected the other party to have been hiding his strength all this time.
"The one with the surname Yuan, if you don't stop now, don't blame us for being impolite." A vicious voice rang out, mixed with the shocked cry of a woman.
Yuan Chengzhi turned his head to look, and saw a minor commander holding a sword to Xiao Zhonghui's neck. With just the slightest bit of force, Xiao Zhonghui would die.
"Xiao Hui!" Yuan Chengzhi could not help but be shocked and angry.
After the initial panic, Xiao Zhonghui gradually calmed down. In a cold voice, she said, "Sa Ba, how dare you! A mere commander of the palace guards dares to hold me hostage?"
"Sa Ba? What a lousy name. " In the shadows, Song Qingshu criticized incessantly. However, judging from the other party's attire, he should be a mid-level officer in the palace guards. As for that strange name … Liao was, after all, a country established by the Khitans. Many of the Khitans' names were very different from the Han people's naming conventions.
Hearing Xiao Zhonghui's words, Sa Ba laughed sinisterly and said, "Your Ladyship, why continue putting on airs here? After today, you might not even be the Ladyship anymore."
Xiao Zhonghui's heart sank, and she could not help but feel frightened. What did his words mean? Could it be that he had obtained some inside information, and her father's case was developing in a disadvantageous direction?
However, even so, she was still not very flustered. After all, she had Prince Jin as her trump card. As long as she saw the Emperor, he would remember their past kindness.
Sa Ba, however, no longer paid attention to her. Instead, he looked at Yuan Chengzhi who was not far away. "The one with the surname Yuan, if you don't surrender now, this sword of mine will no longer recognize you."
Yuan Chengzhi looked over and could clearly see that there was already a shallow bloodstain on Xiao Zhonghui's fair neck. He could not help but be shocked and angry. He did not understand why Sa Ba dared to be so impudent. Moreover, seeing that neither Xiao Eleventh Lang nor Xiao Yuanshan had any intention of stopping the other party, he did not know what to do for a moment.
With hesitation in his heart, his movements naturally slowed down. In a battle between experts, there was only a thin line. Xiao Yuanshan found an opportunity and struck Yuan Chengzhi's chest with his palm. Then, he instantly used Formless Finger of Disaster to seal several major acupuncture points on Yuan Chengzhi's body. Even though Yuan Chengzhi had true energy protecting his body, he was still beaten until he violently vomited blood.
At this time, the imperial guards who had been waiting at the side all rushed forward and brandished their swords at his body. In the blink of an eye, he would be chopped into meat paste!
