Jin Nanfei's words were a bit cryptic, but with Mu Qingxue's experience in handling affairs and understanding of the emperor, he immediately figured out the connection, and his childish eyes suddenly shrank.
Regardless of her state of mind, she couldn't help but be stunned by the secret revealed in Jin Nanfei's words.
All the pirates were confused when they heard this, not knowing why:
Jin Nanfei dotes on his good-for-nothing son too much, right?
He actually wanted to help him establish a country and become its leader, and also asked the emperor to issue a golden seal and accept him as a vassal?
According to this, the Nanhai Faction wants to use Poison Pill to control us, not only to make money, but also to gather dead soldiers to fight for them and build a country overseas?
"How can it be so easy to establish a country? How can just any person get the golden seal of the king given by the emperor? Especially Jin Nanfei is just a lackey of the emperor, and the son of a lackey, what qualifications do he have to be the leader of the country?
No matter how great your achievements are, it would be good to be granted the title of Marquis. If you really conquer a territory and enfeoff it overseas, wouldn't it be okay for the emperor to enfeoff his own son? Unless..."
Shen Lang pondered for a moment, and he immediately understood the key to the relationship when he contacted the emperor's inspection tour of Yingzhou, Jin Yiming's age, and Jin Nanfei's excessive "pampering" of Jin Yiming's good-for-nothing son.
He glanced at Jin Yiming with surprise on his face, thinking to himself that this good-for-nothing boy was actually a "golden branch and jade leaf"?
He is not the illegitimate son of Duke Ying, but the illegitimate son of the emperor?
The background is really big!
Jin Yiming was almost beheaded by Luo Eryi before. Although he was paralyzed on the ground in fear and looked miserable, he was able to cultivate to the fifth level by himself, use tricks to advance to the pseudo-fourth level, and even touch the real life between life and death.
At the fourth level threshold, his understanding is actually not bad, and his brain is definitely sufficient.
After thinking about it for a moment, I understood the meaning of Jin Nanfei's words, and felt ecstatic in my heart:
"I am indeed born extraordinary, and I am indeed born with a noble stomach! Hahahahaha... this young master... no, this prince is the son of the emperor. Even if he is just an illegitimate son, he is not qualified to be crowned prince or county king, but I am still the emperor.
Remembering me, you sent my father...Jin Nanfei to help me acquire overseas territories and establish my own vassal state...hahahahaha..."
Jin Yiming laughed wildly in his heart, but his face still looked frightened and useless. He only secretly meowed Chen Yuniang. Shen Lang glanced at him and felt cruel in his heart:
"With my status, even Mu Qingxue dare not touch me! What can you guys do to me? When I escape from this disaster, the humiliation I have suffered during this period will be repaid a hundred times or a thousand times!"
At this time, Zhu Yunfei, who was also kneeling on the ground and almost beheaded, suddenly roared and laughed wildly:
"So now you should know who you have provoked, right? If you force the leader to reveal this secret, you will destroy yourself! Everyone who knows this secret will die!
"Mu Qingxue, you dare to kill me, even the master, but do you dare to kill the young master? Not to mention you, ask Yan Tianying, does he dare to commit such a treasonous act?"
Before Mu Qingxue could respond, she suddenly heard someone shout:
"It's not a big deal, it's just killing a wild dog!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard two gunshots. Jin Yiming, who was thinking about the future, suddenly had his head exploded, his brains splashed all over the ground, he fell to the ground and died instantly.
Jin Nanfei was shaken all over, and all the clouds in the sky shrank suddenly. They all looked sideways in disbelief, staring at the shooter.
There is no doubt that the maniac who dared to shoot an illegitimate prince in public like a wild dog was Shen Lang!
Shen Lang held a heavy pistol in each hand, blew away the smoke from the gun leisurely, and with a cool trick, he inserted the gun into his belt and flew towards Jin Nan. Zhu Yunfei raised his chin:
"I have already killed people, what can you do now?"
"you you you……"
Zhu Yunfei's face was full of shock and he roared:
"You, you really dare to kill him! You, didn't you think about the consequences?"
Shen Lang curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"Is your brain sick, you old man? You said that if we knew this secret, we would all die. Since there is no tomorrow, we will die sooner or later. Of course, I have to drag a few more backers before I die.
, feel good! If you really think about it, I was forced to kill Jin Yiming because of you!"
Jin Nanfei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his eyes were fixed on Shen Lang, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his heart:
"Very good! You actually dare to shoot someone who Mu Qingxue and even Yan Tianying dare not kill in public... Very good, you are very good!"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"I have to worry about it, Lord Jin, but I have always been in good health, spirit, appetite, waist and kidneys, everything is fine."
Jin Nanfei took a deep breath, looked at Mu Qingxue, and said in a cold tone:
"Mu Captou, what this kid has done is extremely treasonous and unethical. As a third-grade Captou of the Divine Catcher Hall, why don't you take action quickly, capture this beast, abolish his martial arts, and take him back to the punishment department?"
Shen Lang also looked at Mu Qingxue and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Mu, the implications of this matter are too great. It is impossible for Jin Nanfei and Zhu Yunfei to be captured and tried. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. They cannot be used to testify against Duke Ying... How to deal with it, Mr. Mu, please decide."
Mu Qingxue lowered her eyelids and sighed softly:
"You are so lawless..."
Zhu Yunfei had a sinister look on his face and looked at Shen Lang with a serious look, with an expression like "I'm going to see how your kid dies."
Jin Nanfei's expression changed, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he mustered up all his strength to escape.
But before he could take any actual action.
Mu Qingxue raised her slender hand, golden light flashed, and with a pop, a golden awl as thick as a thumb was driven between Jin Nanfei's eyebrows. The bloody awl tip came out from the back of his head, and it had penetrated his skull!
"you!"
As a fake third-level warrior, Jin Nanfei does not have the tyrannical vitality of a real third-level warrior, but his vitality is far stronger than that of a fourth-level warrior. His skull was penetrated, but he did not die for a while, and he stood on the original ground.
On the ground, he stared at Mu Qingxue in disbelief, and uttered incoherent words in his throat:
"How dare you... dare to... commit a treasonous act... You are also... a treasonous person..."
Mu Qingxue's face was expressionless and she said calmly:
"If no one knows about it, it's not a big rebellion. Don't you understand this?"
With another wave of his hand, a golden thread flew past, and with a pop, the owl flew down to Jin Nan's head.
Then she raised her hand and took the golden cone nailed on Jin Nanfei's forehead, together with the "Secret Guard Gold Medal", into her palm, put it into her cloak, took out a jade talisman, shook her hand and hit Jin Nanfei's head.
The talisman shattered and turned into clear light, washing away from his head and even the headless body, instantly washing away some traces of "existence".
After doing this, she looked at Zhu Yunfei, whose expression changed drastically, and said calmly:
"Where are the other members of the Nanhai Sword Sect?"
Zhu Yunfei showed a ruthless expression:
"Do you think I will confess? Your subordinate committed a treason, and you killed him to protect him. But there are so many people at the scene, and there are always smart people who can figure out the cause and effect. Sooner or later, this treachery will spread! Even Yan Tian will do it by then.
Even the eagle can't protect you! I'm waiting for you in the underworld!"
Mu Qingxue shook her head slightly:
"You can't wait."
After saying that, he waved his hand again, and with a flash of golden light, Zhu Yunfei's head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out from the neck about ten feet away.
Mu Qingxue did the same thing again, struck out a jade talisman, and stuck it on Zhu Yunfei's head, turning it into pure light and washing it away.
After doing this, she looked at the pirates.
At this time, some smart people among the pirates, such as the shopkeepers of the single gang, had already half-guessed and roughly understood Jin Nanfei's previous riddle. When they saw Mu Qingxue looking at her, they thought she was going to kill someone and silence them, so they suddenly turned pale and felt uneasy.
Looking at her.
There is no way, the secret is too shocking, the key is that this kid "Xiao Ma" actually dares to kill him.
If Mu Qingxue wants to keep Xiao Ma, she must kill all the witnesses at the scene to ensure that the news of Xiao Ma's shooting of Jin Yiming will not spread.
And in order to protect Xiao Ma, she even killed Jin Nanfei, the secret guard of the Emperor who held the imperial gold medal and was a fifth-rank official. Killing pirates like them would probably not even raise an eyebrow!
The atmosphere on the field was depressing, as if dark clouds were approaching and a storm was coming.
Even most of the pirates who were not very bright-minded were vaguely aware that something was wrong. Everyone stared at Mu Qingxue, not daring to take a breath.
Chen Yuniang was well-informed, had read books, and had enough brains to figure out the key. At this time, she frowned and stared at Mu Qingxue, secretly gathering her strength and preparing to give it a try.
Although she almost agreed with Mu Qingxue's character, in Chen Yuniang's view, Mu Qingxue was a member of the imperial court after all, and when encountering problems, she would probably weigh the pros and cons more than paying attention to loyalty.
In order to save Shen Lang and protect herself, Chen Yuniang felt that Mu Qingxue was likely to kill someone and silence her.
At this time, Shen Lang suddenly gently held Chen Yuniang's little hand, gave her a "reassuring" look, and then looked at Mu Qingxue, his eyes full of trust——
Mu Qingxue had taken too many Da Chu pills sold by Yan Tianying, and had heard about the emperor's scandal with his own ears. He still didn't want to kill indiscriminately. He believed that Mu Qingxue would never commit murder to silence him in order to protect himself.
.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Mu Qingxue put her hands into the cloak.
This action made everyone nervous for a while.
But when Mu Qingxue stretched out her hand from her cloak, everyone relaxed a little.
Because what Mu Qingxue held in both hands was only a small gong and a small hammer with a hammer head made of crystal.
"Everyone, look at me." Mu Qingxue suddenly said.
Everyone was looking at her nervously, but upon hearing her words, they instinctively widened their eyes and stared at her without blinking.
Then……
Duang~!
As soon as Mu Qingxue struck the gong, the crystal hammer head touched the gong, and a bright light suddenly burst out, blinding everyone present. Their vision was only white, and their minds became blurred.
Blank.
When my mind was blank, the crisp sound of gongs came to my ears again.
Everyone was shocked at once, and all the thoughts in their minds were driven away by the sound of the gong. They knew nothing, could not think of anything, and remembered nothing. Only the sound of the gong was beating back and forth in their minds.
Mu Qingxue looked at the more than a hundred pirates standing in front of her, as if they were under a restraining spell. She then looked at Shen Lang, who was also standing there, and Chen Yuniang and others sighed softly:
"There is a scandal in the Tian family, but if one word is leaked and spreads, everyone present will die. Not to mention that Shen Lang also killed Jin Yiming... To save your lives, I can only take this step."
As she spoke, the gong and the small hammer in her hand turned into grains of sand, flying and falling.
Raising her hand to blow away a few grains of copper sand between her fingers, Mu Qingxue raised her hand and waved out an invisible palm force, like a typhoon, knocking all the standing pirates to the ground.
Then there was a sound of ouch, and someone cried out in pain:
"What happened? Why did I break my head? Was it affected by the aftermath?"
"After hiding so far, I didn't expect to be knocked down by the aftermath, and my head was hit... A third-grade warrior is really powerful!"
"Let's see how the situation is going. Did the Mutans win?"
"Ah, Lord Mu has won a great victory! Jin Nanfei is dead! Hey, Jin Yiming and Zhu Yunfei are also dead?"
All the pirates stood up with blank expressions on their faces and started talking in surprise.
Chen Yuniang asked directly:
"Mr. Mu, what happened just now? Why did you feel like you were fainted for a while?"
At this moment, in her mind, she could only remember the scene of Jin Nanfei flying upside down from the forest and smashing into the big rocks.
As for what happened next...
It seemed that after Jin Nanfei smashed the boulder, she became dizzy and lost her consciousness. When she woke up, she was already half-kneeling on the ground, as if she was resisting some force.
Are you resisting the aftermath of the battle?
Just when he was confused, he heard Mu Qingxue say coldly:
"You were affected by the aftermath of the fight between me and Jin Nanfei, and were knocked to the ground. Fortunately, you stayed far away before, otherwise it would have been more than just being stunned for a while."
After a pause, she solemnly announced:
"Jin Nanfei resisted arrest and was killed by me on the spot. Jin Yiming and Zhu Yunfei tried to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but they were also arrested and executed on the spot by me!"
After hearing her words, everyone immediately cheered and admired your majesty.
Only Shen Lang...
At first, like Chen Yuniang and other pirates, he was in a daze and could only remember the scene when Jin Nanfei knocked out.
But soon, the dragon-snake mark formed by the fine pen on the back of his left hand warmed slightly, sending messages one after another into his mind. The memories washed away by the gong and the hammer gradually resurfaced in his mind.
Relying on the "little pen" to regain his memory and see the whole incident clearly again, Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh secretly for Mu Qingxue's good intentions.
As long as no one knows Jin Nanfei's identity and Jin Yiming's life experience, everyone at the scene except Mu Qingxue will know that she only killed Jin Nanfei, the head of the Nanhai Sword Sect, Jin Yiming and his son, and the leader of the sect.
Elder Zhu Yunfei.
If the Tian family scandal is not remembered, the pirates will not let it slip, the news will not spread, and the emperor will not be furious and send out masters and strong men to pursue them to the end.
The lives of everyone in the field were saved, except Mu Qingxue...
Mu Qingxue will be blamed for everything, including the execution of Jin Yiming, and will definitely be hated by the emperor in the future.
Even if no one knew that Jin Nanfei she killed was the emperor's secret guard, and no one knew that Jin Yiming was the illegitimate son left by the current emperor when he was still the crown prince when he visited Yingzhou more than 20 years ago, even Mu Qingxue herself
He also kept secret, pretending not to know the identity of these two people, and only announced that he had killed the father and son of the Nanhai Sword Sect leader, but in the eyes of the emperor...
Mu Qingxue cut off a secret he had placed in Nanhai to make money for him, and also killed one of his illegitimate children.
Although the emperor is definitely not short of sons, and most of the Tian family is indifferent to family ties, the fact that the current emperor is willing to work overseas for Jin Yiming proves that Jin Yiming, an illegitimate son, has some weight in the eyes of the emperor and is not dispensable and transparent.
people.
Mu Qingxue takes all the "credit", what will the emperor think of her?
Even if the emperor was unable to expose the identity of Jin Nanfei and Jin Yiming, and punish Mu Qingxue for killing the secret guard and beheading the prince for "treason" openly and openly, as long as the emperor was willing, there were ways to punish her secretly.
How is Mu Qingxue trying to steal credit?
It was obviously to help Shen Lang resist the hidden arrows from the emperor!
