Li Yijie angrily rebuked, "You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty, lowly officer is loyal to you, even more, lowly officer does not dare to have any improper thoughts toward Niangniang. I admit, Niangniang's appearance is beautiful, her personality is gentle and pleasant, lowly officer indeed admires her greatly. But that's only in my heart. Who says that everyone can't secretly like another person in their heart? It's just that this liking doesn't necessarily mean that I really want to be with her. As long as I can be by her side and care for her, seeing that she is well, that's enough. Heaven and earth can testify to my sincerity, the sun and the moon can testify to it! How can it be as dirty as he said? "
The group of Imperial Bodyguards slowly shifted the position of their bows and arrows, aiming more accurately at Jiang Liechen.
Shunzhi said, "That's right, Li Qingjia, Zhen already knew about your matter early on. Zhen's attitude has also been clear to you early on. Zhen knows the two of you best, so Zhen definitely won't misunderstand you because of a vile character. You can rest assured. "Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said," You trust others too easily, but you're also good at covering the whole with a partial part. Have you ever believed that other people really have the intention to harm you? That's right, Li Yijie falling in love with Noble Consort Yun is indeed nothing strange … "
Tang Yuancheng interrupted, "A fair and graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman. Not to mention Lord Li, even I am very fond of Noble Consort Yun. Those are the purest and most beautiful feelings. Don't distort the meaning of those feelings. "
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said, "In this matter, you are nothing more than a junior, you don't have the qualifications to discuss it with me. The love in your eyes is also not the same as what Zhen's saying. Hey, when Your Majesty has time, there's no harm in disguising yourself and going to Jingxi to inquire. In the past, the famous courtesan of the pleasure hall was exceptionally enchanting. Every man who heard her play and sing a song, without exception, would fall into her bewitching spell. I must add, this also includes you. Judging others by oneself, presumably it's a lot more convenient. There are countless brothels in the world, each and every one of them can sing and dance in prosperity. Only Agarwood Courtyard, why? She has never mentioned it to you, has she? Because this beloved concubine of yours has ambitions higher than the heavens. In the future, she intends to be the mother of the world's Empress. Although the status of that top courtesan sounds glorious, in the end, it is something shameful. You might not be able to wrap your head around the fact that Agarwood Courtyard was destroyed without a sound. Wouldn't the Chen family murder case in the future be a repeat of the past? Why was Imperial Concubine Yun, who always looked delicate and weak in front of you, able to help you kill Old Master Chen and take responsibility for it in a timely manner? If she was really so kind that she wouldn't even dare to kill an ant, then she definitely wouldn't say such words. I'm far more experienced than you when it comes to the human heart. "Because Li '''s", he's, he's, he's, he... That's why I asked Xuan Shuang to destroy all the sects. I taught him what we're good at. I didn't teach your good son bad things. "Because the matter with the Chen family's daughter wasn't a misunderstanding. It was a plan she devised to destroy the Sacrificial Shadow Sect. Later, when the matter was exposed, she couldn't hide it anymore … … Oh, I was wrong. She didn't force you. She didn't allow a pawn to live from the start. While you're doing your best to establish your prestige, this woman is undermining you behind your back. It really makes me feel bad for you. "Also, she used the excuse of paying respects to her ancestors to forcefully drag you to the northeast. The place where your ancestors are buried is very close to Hetu Ala. I believe you know what important treasures are buried in Prince Zhuang's mausoleum. It's the Soul Severing Tear and Absolute Yin Zither that you don't even know where they are. Prince Fu's Death Seeking Chop also came from there. She didn't avoid this at all. When she arrived at the Hall of the Dead, not only did she not kowtow to him and Princess Yong 'an, the first thing she wanted to do was to open the coffins and search. You don't need to ask me anything. Yes, I did enter your ancestral mausoleum. However, in your eyes, I'm a traitor. No matter what rules I broke, you can't blame me. "
Shen Shiyun anxiously said, "Your Majesty, he's slandering you! This concubine didn't … … "Her skills were exquisite. She was already familiar with pretending to be pitiful and weak. Even if one stared into her eyes, they could only see a deep sense of grievance. No one would suspect her of doing anything wrong. They would only want to hold her in their arms, wipe away her tears, and comfort her. This charm technique was truly exceptional.
Jiang Liechen sneered, "If you really didn't do it, then why are you so nervous? Noble Consort Yun is playing with power and even wants to replace you. She has long been secretly cultivating her power. For example, Prince Fu and the others are already leaning towards her side. Your throne is gradually becoming a mere figurehead. It's best if you don't lower your guard. Even if you have a slightly suspicious background, you can become a tool for her to use … … "
Li Yijie had also heard about this, but he still didn't believe it in his heart. Immediately he sternly shouted to stop, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you have ambition, don't push it onto Yun 'er's head. You're exaggerating to scare people. How should you be punished? "
Jiang Liechen sneered, "Shouldn't you know best what kind of person Shen Shiyun is? That year you rescued her from Agarwood Courtyard. What's wrong? Is your memory that bad? Or do you simply not want to remember? I know you don't dare to do anything. This seat will be merciful and let you enjoy a good night of spring before you die. Let me tell you, you're destined to never be able to surpass me. Everything you do, it's all because of me. In the end, even if you die, you won't be free. Isn't this kind of life very sad? "
Li Yijie was furious. He shouted, "Shut up!" He raised his hand and a golden light shot out. It was even more dazzling compared to the sunlight in midair.
Jiang Liechen sneered, "Humph, bluffing! It's just a smokescreen … "Before he could say the word 'law', the golden light suddenly pierced through the right side of his chest. It came out of his shoulder blade and flashed outside the window frame. At the same time, a bloody hole appeared in his chest. Although it wasn't very big, blood was constantly seeping out. He hurriedly pressed a few acupoints to stop the bleeding, but half of his body still felt numb and sore. He couldn't summon any strength.
Li Yijie sneered, "Sorry, I used some advanced western firearms. There was also some poisonous powder inside. It seems the first time you used it, the effect was not bad. What, now you want to say that my life is not in my own hands? Although in my opinion, I must kill you. But as a subject, I can only follow orders. His Majesty said that he wants to capture you alive. You'd better surrender. "
Jiang Liechen didn't answer. He slowly raised his hand and pressed on his wound. His palm immediately felt sticky. He didn't need to look to know that it was stained with blood. He fiercely clenched his fists. Even if he wanted to blame Li Yijie for having an unfair advantage, he couldn't say anything. After all, this wasn't an ordinary competition in the Wulin world. As a wanted criminal, he was trapped in a tight encirclement. Whatever methods the bailiffs used, naturally they were justified.
From the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Shen Shiyun's sneer. Shen Shiyun was mocking him as if he was certain that he couldn't escape this calamity. Seeing this, he was burning with anger. Since he dared to call himself the most powerful person in the world, he shouldn't be hurt by any 'ordinary thing' in the world. Right now, he didn't even want to argue. He said, "If you want me to die, that's easy. But if you want me to surrender, that's impossible!"
Li Yijie said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's not up to you to decide." Finished speaking, he raised his hand and shouted, "Release the arrows! Today, we must capture him! "
A group of Imperial Bodyguards had already pulled their bowstrings to the fullest. They were just waiting for his order. Immediately there was a series of 'pop', 'pop' sounds of bowstrings being released. Immediately several hundred arrows were shot at the same time. They were all aimed at the center, like a hedgehog. If it were in the past, he wouldn't be afraid at all. But right now half of his body was powerless. He simply couldn't do the same thing as last time, where he flicked his sleeve to block the arrows.
Li Yijie and Shen Shiyun responded with a sneer at the same time. They thought, "We'll let you suffer a serious injury first. When the time comes, you won't be able to quibble.
Shunzhi's eyes were calm and indifferent, as if no matter what the result was, it didn't have much to do with him. The Imperial Bodyguards opened their eyes wide, staring at the direction of the arrows. They all hoped that in the end, the arrows that would take his life would come from their own bows. Only Tang Yuancheng's face showed a regretful expression, as if he felt that Shunzhi was not worth it, but he did not know how to persuade him.
In that split second, Jiang Liechen's mind was racing. Suddenly he pulled Cheng Jiaxuan, who was not too far away, and used her body as a living shield in front of him, blocking left and right, blocking all the arrows coming from all directions. Although he did not have any internal energy to sweep back and forth, he still had the strength to move and defend himself.
In that instant, Cheng Jiaxuan's body was hit by countless arrows, but not a single one hit her vital parts. Therefore, although her injury was serious, her body looked as if it was pierced by ten thousand arrows. Her body was full of arrows; it looked extremely frightening. Her wounds split open layer by layer, blood flowed out incessantly.
Jiang Liechen shook off Cheng Jiaxuan. He saw Li Yijie and his men had surrounded the door so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. His eyes turned toward the wide open window. He immediately endured the pain and dragged himself step by step toward the window. At this time, a small and thin figure suddenly rushed in. Seeing the situation, she cried out in alarm, "Shifu? This … this … "
Jiang Liechen looked toward the direction of the voice. His brows furrowed imperceptibly as he said, "Xuan Shuang? What are you doing here? " He had promised not to make things difficult for Cheng Jiaxuan. Now that he was caught red-handed, he did not know what would happen.
No matter what happened outside, Li Yijie was not in the mood to pay attention to it. Her gaze was fixed on Jiang Liechen as she said, "You only know how to use a woman as a shield. What kind of man are you? Accept your death! "She waved her hand in front of her and shot out a firearm and a small concealed weapon. The firearm flattened the window frame.
Before Jiang Liechen could rejoice, another concealed weapon was already in front of his eyes. It came so fast that he could not see any flaw in it. Even if he could see it, he did not have the strength to resist it. Just as he was able to turn around, he found himself facing the concealed weapon. As a result, the attack would only be heavier. He clenched his fists and prepared himself to take the blow head-on.
Cheng Jiaxuan stood to the side, swaying. Her clothes were already dyed red with blood. When she saw this scene, she suddenly screamed, "Don't … don't!" She rushed forward in a few steps and stood in front of Jiang Liechen. The concealed weapon was a small oval cylinder. When it reached her back, it suddenly exploded and several hundred steel needles pierced her body at the same time. Cheng Jiaxuan's entire body trembled. She weakly fell to the ground. Her hands gently held onto Jiang Liechen's shoulders.
At first, Jiang Liechen's expression was unhappy. When the concealed weapon was in front of his eyes and Cheng Jiaxuan blocked the attack for him, he coldly sized her up. He did not touch her at all. "Wah!" She spat out a mouthful of blood onto his chest. The blood splashed into a large blooming flower and turned into a small stream that slowly flowed down. It was as if he had just woken up from a dream. The first thing he said was in a bad mood. He said unhappily, "Damn slut, you dirtied my clothes! Get lost! "He raised his other hand and viciously slapped her across the face.
Cheng Jiaxuan had already lost consciousness. She fell heavily to the ground. It seemed that only in her subconscious mind did she have the will to protect herself. After fainting, her body slightly curled up. Jiang Jianchen didn't even spare her a glance as he leapt out of the window that had opened up a path, staggering as he fled.
