Li Yijie quickly swept his gaze around and knew that there were no experts in this group of people. His eyes widened slightly. Although he had mentally prepared himself, it was still hard for him to accept the fact that he had to face the Imperial Court head-on one day. He smiled bitterly, "Is this a Hongmen Banquet? You've already made preparations from the beginning. If I don't agree, you'll kill me on the spot and won't allow me to help the Emperor? How do you know that I'm willing to meddle in your absurd affairs? "
Shen Shiyun coldly said, "Rather than waiting for the day when you become my enemy, it's better to make a move on the spot and eliminate all future troubles. I won't leave any hidden troubles behind. This is the only truth that I believe in after many years of fighting in the bureaucracy. "Li Yijie sneered and said," But you seem to be underestimating me too much. I'm the grand Wulin Alliance Head, and you're treating me with these lowly trash? Do you think they're my match? "Shen Shiyun said," There's no harm in giving it a try. "
Li Yijie knew that today's matter was difficult to resolve. He could only use force to kill his way out of the Snow Song Palace. He laughed inwardly. His ominous premonition had come true. As he circulated his internal energy, streams of true energy circulated within his body. As his internal energy deepened, a layer of internal energy slowly formed around his body. It could protect himself and also injure the enemy.
The imperial bodyguards raised their spears. Amidst their shouts, weapons pierced towards them from all directions. Li Yijie ignored them. He clenched his fists tightly and the internal energy within his body exploded, scattering the barrier in all directions. At first, the barrier only stirred the air and changed its shape. Once it was activated, it became real. Once it hit the imperial bodyguards, it was no different from a heavy weapon piercing their bodies. A flexible yet vigorous force flowed through them. The spear shaft immediately broke into two pieces. Amidst the cries of the imperial bodyguards, they all fell out of the encirclement.
Some of them fell out of the encirclement and maintained their original position. Even when they fell to the ground, they did so at the same time. It was truly a start and an end. Li Yijie turned his head and glanced at Shen Shiyun. He smiled coldly and pushed open the palace door. He turned around and left.
He had never seen such a contemptuous expression on Li Yijie's face. When Shen Shiyun saw that his subordinates were so weak, he almost exploded on the spot. He clapped his hands twice, and a group of people in strange clothes rushed in from outside the palace. Because Li Yijie did not move at all, this group of people rose and fell several times, and immediately surrounded him in the middle.
At this time, Li Yijie was really helpless. He sighed and said, "What other tricks do you want to play? Do you really want to kill me before you are satisfied? Could it be that there's such a deep grudge between us? "
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "I don't dare. This Consort knows that Alliance Head Li's martial arts are superior. Taking care of my servants would be a piece of cake. Please play with them a little longer, so that I can broaden my horizons. "
Li Yijie said impatiently, "No matter how many people come, the result will be the same. If your subordinates really have the ability to kill me, why do you have to use both the carrot and the stick to force me to cooperate? But if you let these people block my way again, perhaps I won't show any mercy. "Shen Shiyun's face darkened. He said," Don't speak too confidently. You can talk about these things after you defeat them. "
Li Yijie closed his eyes and listened to the wind to distinguish the position of each person. He tried to attack the right side first, only to stimulate the formation to move, then he could find a way to break it. Unexpectedly, he felt a strong resistance on his first move. He opened his eyes in surprise, and another move arrived first, already in front of him. This was very different from the previous attack of the Imperial Bodyguards.
Li Yijie was slightly astonished. He finally looked at his opponent seriously. But if he wanted to find a place to attack and break through a gap, the movement of the enemy's formation would suddenly accelerate. When he fought with one person, it was as if there were an endless number of enemies hiding at the same time. Even if he knocked down one person, in the next moment, there would be a surge of people to fill the gap. It was as if he could never defeat them.
And if he wanted to find a way out, it was as if there were enemies everywhere. Even if he jumped into the air, there would be people jumping to the same height at the same time to fight with him. When he landed, there would be enemies at the bottom to meet him. They would take advantage of the fact that he was in the air, unable to counterattack or dodge, to attack his lower body first.
Shen Shiyun crossed her arms and sneered as she watched the situation, but there was not the slightest bit of anxiety on her face. It was as if the result of this battle had nothing to do with her. It was as if she already knew that Li Yijie would be defeated, so there was no need to worry.
Li Yijie landed on the ground again. He stepped on two people's weapons and leaped away with difficulty. He used his sword to repel the attack. He sighed and made a 'stop fighting' gesture. He said, "Enough. Is this the benefit of being the Manor Master of Xia?"
Shen Shiyun was very proud. He smiled and said, "I already warned you not to speak too confidently. This battle array is the essence of the Xia family's ancestral legacy. Don't look at how the Xia family may not be the best in all aspects. But in terms of this battle array, no one can surpass it. Even the original master of the city said that he couldn't break this battle array. Since then, Manor Master Xia has been very interested in mechanisms and arithmetic. After many years of inheritance and development, it has become even more perfect and invulnerable. Even you, Alliance Master Li, can't escape from it. What do you think of me? "
Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you want to use this battle array to trap the palace masters so that they can no longer obstruct you … Your plan is indeed thorough." Shen Shiyun's proud expression didn't last long. He suddenly changed the topic and said, "But to be honest, this battle array is not unbreakable. As long as we kill all the people guarding the battle array as quickly as possible, naturally we can no longer maintain the battle array. It's just that … I don't want to kill too many people. "Shen Shiyun's expression changed slightly. He smiled and said," So that's how it is. Alliance Master Li is indeed worthy. It's a pity … "
The group of people seemed to have received orders out of nowhere. They raised their weapons at the same time and attacked from all directions. They restrained Li Yijie from the top, middle, and bottom, making it difficult for him to even slightly raise his hand, let alone use his internal energy to injure people.
Shen Shiyun leisurely said, "So what now? Your analysis and judgment may be amazing. In terms of martial arts, they can't compare with you. But unfortunately, you have a weakness. Even at the very last moment, he could still be defeated by someone else. Because of those ridiculous feelings, you put yourself in such a passive position. You can never become a real powerhouse. Hey, tell me, is it worth it? "
Li Yijie said, "Feelings aren't ridiculous. If the person you want to protect is no longer there, even if you have a powerful force, you won't feel happy. Besides, if everyone has no feelings like you, how can you make use of feelings? If the Emperor didn't misjudge you, you would still be a girl playing the zither and singing in Agarwood Courtyard. Because of your low status, you were bullied by others, right? How can you have the opportunity to play with power today? "
Shen Shiyun's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. She said, "Ben Gong and you are walking different paths. You won't understand. "Li Yijie angrily said," Since you know, why do you force me to understand you? Why don't you let me go? "Shen Shiyun said," It's not difficult to let you go, but Ben Gong doesn't like to be rejected. "Li Yijie was so angry that he laughed and said," I also don't like to be threatened. "
Shen Shiyun stared at him and said, "What's the use if you don't like it? Now Ben Gong is in charge of everything! Even you yourself are under my control. What qualifications do you have to say whether you are willing or not? "
Li Yijie sneered and said, "Noble Consort Yun, if you think that because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I will compromise with the enemy, then you have misjudged me, Li Yijie." As he spoke, he was secretly startled by the words that came out of his mouth. Then he felt sad. He didn't know when this girl, whom he had wholeheartedly wanted to protect, had become his most powerful enemy.
Shen Shiyun didn't pay attention. She said, "That's right. Ben Gong knows that you don't care about your own life, and I have never thought of asking them to kill you. But … what if they make a move on that 'most important woman' of yours? Ben Gong can trap you in here and then send another assassin to deal with Nangong Xue. Ay, it's not like I can't do this kind of thing … You know, I am the kind of person who 'inverts black and white, who uses public office to avenge private wrongs'. What are you going to do? " While gently stroking her nails, she calmly glanced at Li Yijie, as if she had already eaten him up.
Li Yijie's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that Shen Shiyun was different from other people. She would never frighten people out of thin air. How could she threaten people? She must have prepared for a long time. So much so that as soon as the other side gave a negative reply, she would immediately carry out her plan.
At this time, he could only agree first and then act according to the circumstances. In any case, he didn't need to pay attention to his credibility in front of Shen Shiyun. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. You have forced me into a dead end. What other choice do I have? But before I act, please allow me to take a trip to Shaolin Temple. "
Shen Shiyun raised her eyebrows. She said, "What kind of method are you thinking of to delay this time? You are a grown man, yet you still act so wishy-washy. You have no future! But this Nangong Xue, it seems like she really is your weak spot. You'd better kill her as soon as possible … "Li Yijie angrily said," Whether she is my weak spot or not, I don't need you to worry about that! But I swear, if you dare to hurt her again, even if I have to tear down the entire palace, I will make you pay the price! Don't think that only that person would do this kind of thing. "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Is it like a rabbit that bites when it is cornered? Fine, fine, Bengong won't care about you. But you won't be so disheartened because of this little setback that you plan to shave your head and become a monk, right? "
Li Yijie said, "Once the coup starts, regardless of whether it is the imperial court or the common people, there will be countless casualties. As the Wulin Alliance Leader, I have to do the opposite and do this kind of thing for you. I am ashamed, but because of the situation, I have no other choice. Therefore, I have to go to Shaolin Temple to burn several incense sticks and repent in front of Buddha. In any case, my conscience will be slightly at ease … "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Alliance Leader Li, Bengong doesn't know what to say to you. Perhaps your Jianghu experience is still somewhat lacking, or perhaps your way of thinking is just that naive. In the officialdom, it is a common occurrence. Nobody in a high position can be truly honest and clean. I can tell you clearly that even if there are some officials who appear to be honest and clean, it is nothing more than a facade. It is only because they do dirty things in private that other people don't know. Your position is similar to Bengong's; as the Wulin Alliance Leader, I think you should know these secrets. If you want to sit in this position for a long time, I don't know how much you will have to overturn your previous life and ignorant ideas. If every time you do something against your own will, you have to burn incense and pray, how many sins will you forgive? How much conscience will you have to repay? "
Li Yijie sighed and said, "Niangniang's skill is profound, you can talk and laugh calmly in the middle of a crowd of dead bodies. Bengong has no other choice but to admit that I am inferior. I would rather not be the Wulin Alliance Leader than lose my nature in the officialdom. Although I agree to help you, if there is always a barrier in my heart, I am afraid I will drag you down everywhere. It would be better to allow me to accept this sin in my own way. "
Shen Shiyun sneered and waved her hand, "All right, all right. You, Alliance Leader Li, are a benevolent gentleman. You have to chant sutras to expiate your sins all the time. If you don't understand, Bengong won't force you. But if you want to take advantage of this trip to Shaolin Temple and run away, then you are gravely mistaken. I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. "
Li Yijie said, "It doesn't matter. In any case, when the time comes, you will send several people to monitor me, won't you? Even if I run to the ends of the earth, I won't be able to escape from your palm. "Shen Shiyun smiled charmingly and said," It's good that you know. Take care, Minister Li, Bengong won't see you off.
