"There's an assassin!"
The two guards shouted and pulled out their swords from their waists. They attacked Meng Qi from different directions. As personal guards, they had to put up a good fight when the Emperor was assassinated. Only then would they be spared from death.
Mengqi's tendons and meridians were almost stretched to the extreme. If it weren't for the Golden Bell Shield and Eight Nine Mysteries, which were both Divine Kung Fu that strengthened the body and expanded his tendons and meridians, he would have exploded and died. After all, he couldn't compare with the Evil Prince who had opened his Nine Apertures and Three Chambers, nor could he compare with the Right Chief Minister, who was a Great Guru, when the old Emperor was in a coma for the first time. He had to rely on himself.
His skin showed signs of bulging, and one could vaguely see the dark gold inside and the genuine Qi running like a mouse. His breathing was heavy and hot, and he wanted to pour out all the bulging in his body.
Mengqi's Ice Palace Sword slowly chopped out. It was not fast, but there was a whistling sound. Because he had too much genuine Qi and could not control it, his every move was no less than the palm wind and sword wind of a Seven or Eight Apertures master, and there was even a sign of releasing genuine Qi.
The Long Sword was not fast. It was like a heavy iron rod. After the Long Sword was swung out, the Sword Wind swept away a bodyguard. The bodyguard hit the beam with a bang, causing the house to shake again, which had been shaken by the fight between Sky Thunder and Evil Prince Meng Qi.
However, Mengqi's moves were too slow. After sweeping away the guard in front of him, he had no strength to change his moves. He could only watch the other guard chopping at him with his sword.
He struggled to tilt his head and let the long sword cut on his shoulder and neck. The dark gold light shone, and the guard was suddenly shocked and hit the wall. His head was broken and bleeding.
Under the consumption, the bulging in Mengqi's body eased a little, and he even wanted the two guards to continue to attack him!
"This makes me want to shout, hit me, come and hit me …" Meng Qi thought, trying to find joy in bitterness. His state of mind had already calmed down, and he maintained a state of neither panic nor anger. He did not think too much about the consequences of the guards outside rushing in after hearing his words, because the two guards in front of him climbed up with their faces covered in dirt. They shouted to each other,
"He has Hard Kung to protect his body. Attack his vital parts!"
Mengqi held his long sword horizontally, waiting for the two guards to attack again. At the same time, he accelerated the absorption of his Profound Spirit.
The two guards were also experienced. Seeing that Mengqi seemed to be unable to move, they used their Body Movements to attack him.
Clang!
At this moment, the sound of a zither rang out like the whistling of swords and sabers. A sharp gust of wind shot in and broke a guard's sword, piercing through his chest.
Ruan Yushu held the seven-stringed zither in her left hand. Her white robe fluttered as she descended. She stroked the air with her right hand and one of the zither's strings bounced up, emitting an ear-piercing and chaotic sound. A gust of strong wind was triggered and the remaining guard's throat was slit.
She was born in an aristocratic family and had seen some of the means of Exterior attacks in the enlightenment period. She knew that whether it was talismans, Precious Weapons, or other Dharma Access, they all consumed a lot of energy. After one strike, one might not be able to fight again. Therefore, when she saw Meng Qi drawing the Sky Thunder, she immediately came to help.
"Take me away!" Seeing Ruan Yushu descending from the sky like a fairy, Mengqi was overjoyed.
Ruan Yushu saw that Meng Qi's situation seemed to be a little special, so she didn't ask any more questions. She grabbed the clothes on his left shoulder, and with the tips of her toes, she jumped up to the roof and landed on the other side of the wall.
She saw many guards rushing into the Tai Chi Hall, so she did not waste time carrying Mengqi. She had to escape first.
As soon as they jumped over the wall and landed on the other side, Mengqi saw several masters surrounding them. They were all First Class Masters between Six and Seven Acupores. Ruan Yushu's Seven-string Zither only had five strings left.
Ruan Yushu let go of Mengqi's right hand and touched the zither.
Crack!
A master's back was broken. He flew out and hit the wall, dead.
Luo Shengyi came out from the garden. He punched out with his fists like a dragon. He had used the Seven Wounding Fists, the Big Demon Fist, the Hundred Steps Holy Fist, the Stone-breaking Holy Fist, and the Iron Fist. Some of them had reached the advanced level, some were close to the consummate level, and some were at the primary level. In a few short moves, the remaining masters were either dead or injured.
After dealing with the masters, he quickly walked to Mengqi and grabbed his shoulder with his left hand. Together with Ruan Yushu, they hid in the garden.
As Mengqi absorbed the Profound Qi, he asked in confusion, "Brother Luo, you didn't leave?"
According to the previous plan, Luo Shengyi would make a detour to the Hall of Diligent Government after distracting the guards' attention. He would use the fight between the two Great Grandmasters to get rid of the guards whose Kung Fu was suppressed. Then he would break through the checkpoint at night and leave the Imperial Palace from the inside out.
Luo Shengyi said with a faint smile, "I'm a domineering person, but I never abandon my companions."
When Mengqi summoned the Sky Thunder, he had already gotten rid of the guards with the help of the storm and thunder. However, with such a big movement, he believed that something must have happened in the Tai Chi Palace. Therefore, he came back to see if there was anything he could do to help.
Mengqi nodded and remembered it in his heart. He said to Luo Shengyi and Ruan Yushu, "Shout that the Crown Prince committed regicide! The Left Prime Minister poisoned him! The Emperor is dead! "
The treacherous Prime Minister had surrendered to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, he would never put Lu Guan in an important position. After all, there were many famous generals in the world who were good at fighting.
Therefore, Mengqi wanted to ruin the Crown Prince's plan. No one would believe him if he shouted like this. They might even think that he was trying to drive a wedge between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. But at least, it would plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the Crown Prince. They would hesitate for a while before they surrendered. At least, the Right Minister would reconsider the whole thing and consider a backup candidate.
For the great Confucian scholars, those who killed their father and the Emperor were unforgivable and could never inherit the throne.
This was one of the things that needed to be done. There were other things to do after leaving the palace. Mengqi wanted to try his best to complete the main task.
Luo Shengyi understood what Mengqi meant. He shouted loudly,
"The Crown Prince committed regicide! The Left Minister poisoned him! The Emperor is dead! "
Ruan Yushu did not shout with him. He maintained his cool image. Anyway, it was enough for someone to shout.
"The Crown Prince committed regicide! The Left Minister poisoned him! The Emperor is dead! "
Luo Shengyi kept changing directions. In the pouring rain, his voice rolled and reached everywhere.
Soon, the whole imperial city was boiling. The Emperor was dead. Was it the Crown Prince's doing?
While running, Mengqi absorbed the Profound Qi crazily. The dark golden color on his body became brighter and brighter. The sixth level of the Golden Bell Shield was rising rapidly toward the Completion Level.
Mengqi had some spare energy. He began to guide the Profound Qi to open his Nose Aperture and other Aperture acupoints.
"The Crown Prince killed the Emperor! The Left Minister poisoned him! His Majesty has passed away! "At some point in time, the same voice sounded from all over the Imperial City, echoing these words.
Mengqi guessed that the eunuchs and guards bought by the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince were fishing in troubled waters to create opportunities for their masters.
The three of them were getting farther and farther away from the Hall of Diligent Government. They quickly approached the periphery of the imperial city and saw the city wall that was 30 to 40 feet high.
The guards on the city wall were mainly facing the outside, and there were many buildings inside. Therefore, the three of them moved forward while hiding. Soon, they were not far from the doorway.
There was no place left for them to hide. Mengqi couldn't use the Transformation Strategy for the time being. Luo Shengyi took a light breath and dashed toward the doorway at full speed.
Ruan Yushu followed him closely. Her movements were graceful like a fairy.
As soon as the three of them appeared, they were immediately discovered by the guards on the city wall. But before they had time to draw their bows, Luo Shengyi rushed into the hole first. He waved his right fist, which was extremely strong and firm, like a mountain peak. His fist strength was almost substantial. With one punch, the three guards' chests were dented, and it was obvious that they would die soon.
Ruan Yushu's right hand strummed the strings of the zither. With a clang, the strings bounced up and the sharp Qi shot out, cutting the throats of the two guards.
The guards in the doorway were quickly cleared. Luo Shengyi shattered the iron lock, pulled open the horizontal partition, and opened the heavy door.
As soon as the door was opened, Ruan Yushu threw a corpse out. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless sharp arrows shot at him, turning him into a hedgehog.
The two of them each threw out a corpse, and countless arrows were shot at them again.
Luo Shengyi and Ruan Yushu dashed toward the other side of the square.
They were the fastest they had ever been in their lives. Soon, they reached the end of the square.
Only then did the sharp arrows catch up with them. However, they couldn't hurt them anymore.
After entering the long street, the two of them slowed down after walking for a while.
Under the impact of the pure Profound Qi, Mengqi's Nose Aperture and related Aperture acupoints were opened one by one. They were almost finished, but the Profound Qi was still flowing.
Mengqi had to use his Profound Qi to condense the Aperture acupoints. He was slightly distracted and asked, "Third Prince or Fourth Prince?"
The Crown Prince was out of the question. The Seventh Prince had left the capital. There were only two princes left for him to choose from.
Luo Shengyi thought for a while and said, "My main task only requires me to help one prince ascend the throne. I didn't specify who. What do you think?"
"Sure enough, the main task is different …" Mengqi confirmed his previous guess. He said in a low voice, "The Fourth Prince."
"Why?" Luo Shengyi asked.
"First, according to Lu Huasheng, the Fourth Prince is the weakest to negotiate. Second, the Devil Empress is fighting fiercely with the Right Chief Minister and can't spare her time. What we're going to do next requires a Great Guru." Mengqi said his opinion.
At this time, he couldn't be sure whether the Fourth Prince would choose Lu Guan as his general. He could only take a gamble. Anyway, he had Karma points to deduct and lend some to Ruan Yushu.
Luo Shengyi frowned slightly. "What is it?"
"Kill the Crown Prince!" Mengqi said in a low voice.
The news of the Emperor's death had already been exposed, and all sides would respond to the situation. This night would be chaotic, and blood would flow everywhere. By dawn, the matter would most likely be settled. Therefore, they, who did not even know the courtiers and generals, did not have the time nor the ability to form alliances. The only thing they could do was to make it so that there was no choice!
This was the ability of a master to change the situation. It was the simplest, most direct, and most effective way!
"Okay." Luo Shengyi figured out Mengqi's idea and sneered. "I'll go back and report. I'll kill the Third Prince while I'm at it!"
If he hadn't invested so much in the Third Prince, he would have long been unable to tolerate the Third Prince's attitude toward him.
He changed his direction and returned to Wanghou Lane. The Profound Spirit in Mengqi's palm was still flowing. He had finished condensing the Aperture acupoints related to the Nose Aperture.
"If it goes on like this, I'll be stuffed to death …" Mengqi gritted his teeth and took out the "Pill of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing". He decided to break through the realm and resolve the crisis!
