Chapter 1399: On the Spring and Autumn Period in the Hall of Jinluan
Qi Ning's arrow was extremely sharp, piercing through the air and attacking Xiao Shaozong. He was about to shoot Xiao Shaozong, but when he saw Xiao Shaozong wave his hand, the arrow turned in the direction and shot into the body of a soldier next to him.
Qi Ning was slightly shocked and thought to himself that Xiao Shaozong's skills were indeed not weak. When he saw him passing through the crowd, he had already reached the city. The soldiers at the top of the city received the order and stopped shooting arrows at the city. Xiao Shaozong was very relaxed at the city. His figure rose up and had reached the top of the cloud ladder. Then, he stepped on the cloud ladder and instantly climbed to the city.
Xuanwu Camp retreated in full, but Xiao Shaozong walked against the side and climbed to the top of the city alone. Qi Ning really didn't know what this person's intention was.
As soon as Xiao Shaozong came to the city, the soldiers of the Yulin Camp were stunned at first, and then the soldiers around him rushed towards Xiao Shaozong.
However, Xiao Shaozong reached out and grabbed a soldier closest to the inner city, and rushed to the top of the city without saying a word. With the screams, Xiao Shaozong spread his arms and jumped down from the top of the city like an eagle.
Xiao Shaozong's move not only surprised the soldiers around him, but even Qi Ning also changed his color in shock.
The walls of this imperial city are high and thick. Even if they are very light, they will be a life-and-death life to jump from the head of the city. Qi Ning has few people in the world now. Even so, Qi Ning dared not jump off the head of the city like this. He flashed. When Xiao Shaozong jumped down, he had already reached the edge of the inner wall and wall. Seeing Xiao Shaozong in the air, he fell down with the falling Yulin soldiers, and was still a distance from the ground. He only saw Xiao Shaozong step on the soldier with one foot, and the soldiers fell faster, but Xiao Shaozong took advantage of this step and could remove most of the falling power.
Only then did Qi Ning realize that after seeing Xiao Shaozong landing lightly, he did not look back and went straight to the palace.
Yu Beigu was extremely surprised and ordered: "Go into the palace to chase him!"
Qi Ning raised his hand and said, "Wait!" After pondering for a moment, he said, "You are welcome to the emperor, I will chase Xiao Shaozong!"
Qi Ning got off the city and went straight into the palace. He entered the central palace. In front of him was an empty square. A road in the middle led directly to the majestic Chengtian Palace. It was where the emperor summoned all officials to meet. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were all hiding in the inner palace, and all the soldiers who could fight had already reached the city. The square in front of the palace was empty, and there was not even a guard.
Qi Ning stopped and looked at the Chengtian Palace ahead, and finally walked forward.
In the empty square, Qi Ning's figure seemed lonely and small. When he walked straight to the steps in front of the hall, Qi Ning stepped up the steps step by step and walked to the front of the main gate of Chengtian Hall. The gate was wide open, and the hall without a meeting was even more deserted and terrifying.
The eastern sky curtain has been red, the rising sun is rising, and the sun shines on the magnificent Chengtian Hall, making the most majestic and sacred hall of the empire shine with brilliant brilliance.
Qi Ning slowly walked into the hall and saw Xiao Shaozong standing in the Golden Palace from afar.
Xiao Shaozong seemed to be observing the hall, with one hand behind him, and his other hand gently stroked the copper crane in the Golden Palace, with gentle movements, as if he was stroking his favorite woman.
Qi Ning left the Golden Lunar Palace, Xiao Shaozong didn't look at Qi Ning, as if he expected Qi Ning to follow him, and said with a smile: "When I was very young, I heard about Emperor Taizu's wise and magical martial arts. At that time, it was very strange, father's business and son inherited, why did grandfather's grandfather
The throne is not the father sitting on it? When I get older, I realize that many things in this world are unreasonable. Justice is not in the hearts of the people, right and wrong cares about strength. If you don’t have strength, the treasure in your hand is a sin of possessing a treasure. If you have strength, not only your things belong to you, but not your things, they also belong to you!”
Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "The throne has never been something, but the heart of the people!"
"Human heart?" Xiao Shaozong was stunned and then smiled and said, "What do you mean is that those who win the hearts of others will win the world?"
"That's what I mean." Qi Ning said calmly.
Xiao Shaozong laughed, walked slowly to the edge of the dragon chaise, gently stroked the dragon chaise, turned around and sat down, and said with a smile: "You still don't understand. Many times, it is not that the people who win the hearts of the people will win the world, but that the people who win the world will win the hearts of the people. As long as I sit in this position, there will be many people who submit to me. You must understand that there are not many truly generous and loyal people in the world, and there are many dirty people who are swaying with the wind. This time you win, but if you lose, what will happen?"
Qi Ning did not answer, but just looked at Xiao Shaozong.
"Those so-called loyal court officials to the Great Chu will respect me as the emperor." Xiao Shaozong said: "Even if they suspect that there are many strange things happening this time, no one will say it for their own future." He raised his hand and pointed at His Highness Jinluan: "They will kneel at my feet, shout long live, and will despise you Qi Ning and become an unprecedented evil thief. There will definitely be someone rushing to help me clean the brocade and manage my family. Are you right?"
Qi Ning nodded and said, "If you win, this is likely to be the result."
Xiao Shaozong smiled slightly and said, "Qinning, actually, I admire you very much. The only lucky thing for Xiao Guang is to have a helper like you." His body leaned forward slightly and said, "If I didn't leave you that only weakness, who do you think can laugh to the end this time?"
Of course, Qi Ning understood what "the only weakness" was Xiao Shaozong's words, and said sincerely: "If the emperor was really harmed by you, the ending might be a different scene."
"Maybe you are mocking my stupidity in your heart." Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "You can achieve your goal without any flaws, why do you still have a chance to fight back?" He supported his elbow on the chair handle of the dragon chaise, supported his left face with one hand, and looked at Qi Ning and said, "I know you want to take a gamble in the end, but I didn't expect that you could really see through my trump card."
"That night, you asked Mo Ying to lead people to surround me in Hongyun Teahouse. That was your biggest flaw." Qi Ning sighed.
Xiao Shaozong frowned and said, "I didn't understand!"
"That night you wanted to kill me, but all the elites were out." Qi Ning said: "Those people are your hidden strength in the capital. If you do such a thing, you will not even use the people from Kyoto Prefecture and the Shenhou Mansion, so you will naturally not mobilize troops."
Xiao Shaozong said "Oh" and Qi Ning continued: "If they just asked them to surround me, it would not be a flaw. It was just that the weapons in the hands of those people exposed some things."
"weapon?"
"The weapons used by those people were mostly obtained from the Qinhuai Legion." Qi Ning said slowly: "The weapons of the officers and soldiers of the battalions of the capital were made of above-mentioned fine steel. They were stronger than the Qinhuai Legion that fought on the front line. The two weapons could be seen at a glance. But this is natural, the fine steel institute
Forged weapons not only require high-quality steel, but also very troublesome forging. If the Qinhuai Legion has 100,000 troops, it is almost impossible to have such weapons. I have seen the swords of soldiers of the Qinhuai Legion, and I still remember them fresh. That night, many of the weapons in the hands of the people under your hands were exactly the same as those used by the Qinhuai Legion.”
Xiao Shaozong seemed to understand: "Did you guess these weapons were smuggled out of the Qinhuai Legion?"
"The court has issued a knife hunting order long ago. Even the residences of high-ranking officials in the court have restrictions on weapons and are also registered. Of course, even if there are weapons in the capital management office, it cannot be the kind of Qinhuai Legion, or at least made of stainless steel." Qi Ning said: "So it seems simple to collect such a batch of knives in the capital, but it is not easy to do so. I know that some scum in the Qinhuai Legion secretly smuggled out the weapons of the generals, but their whereabouts are unknown. That night, I saw the Qinhuai Legion's weapons appear in the capital, and immediately knew the strangeness. The capital was strictly garrisoned, and these weapons had to be transported from the front line to the capital, and through the heavily guarded city gates, how could that be done?"
Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "So you thought of Ding Yitu."
"Ding Yitu was originally a member of the Qinhuai Army. Although he was expelled, he must have known people in the army." Qi Ning sighed: "People died for money and birds died for food. If Ding Yitu bribed the people in the army and then smuggled the weapons back to the capital, it would not be difficult for him. He entered and left the capital under the banner of the escort agency. On weekdays, the goods entering and leaving the city will naturally not be investigated as strictly as others. Since you want to make trouble in the capital, you will inevitably store a batch of weapons in secret to take advantage of the emergencies."
Xiao Shaozong gave a thumbs up and said, "It turns out that no one can think of this."
"Since Ding Yitu has such close relationships with you, he will naturally participate in your plan." Qi Ning said: "You are the prince of Huainan Prince's Mansion. Generally speaking, it is difficult to connect you with a mere escort agency. It is even more impossible for someone to think that you will put the emperor under house arrest in the escort agency. So you think that the whereabouts of the emperor must be extremely secret, and no one will think of it."
Xiao Shaozong sighed: "But in the end you guessed, you really should open a casino."
"My gambling fortune is not always so good." Qi Ning sighed: "If you bet wrong this time, you will lose all the money, and it is impossible to turn the situation around."
Xiao Shaozong sat on the dragon throne, thinking about something, and pondered for a moment before saying, "When I was young, I was sent to the palace to read for him. Do you know what it means to read for him? It means to stay by his side and always be at his bottom. I must never understand the knowledge that the teacher talked about before he understood. I must always realize it later, and always understand those knowledge later than him. At that time, I was always thinking, why did the knowledge I knew clearly had to pretend not to know in front of him, and he had to point at me condescendingly.
