After all, Li Qinglin was not a god. He had calculated everything but still missed one thing.
In other words, his mind was not focused on this aspect and he had not considered it at all.
Although the Blazing Formation is in the outer palace, the fire will naturally spread to the inner palace. Not all the Xihuang army is crowded in the square of the outer palace. They have long been dispersed by Mang You in various important roads. If there is a fire here, there will be remnants of the army.
Run inside, kill and loot.
The palace guards could not stop these remnants of the Western Wasteland.
Many of the palace guards and concubines were unaware of Li Qinglin's plan. When they saw Lihuo City destroyed and the palace on fire, their first reaction was "It's over and the country will be destroyed." So they began to plunder the palace property and flee.
If nothing unexpected happens, all of Li Qinglin's family members will die in this disaster, including his only child.
In the East Palace, a young woman in palace clothes with ordinary appearance and elegant temperament was standing by the window with a little girl over one year old in her arms. Looking at the fire outside, listening to the cries and curses of the soldiers, her expression was filled with excitement.
Gritting hatred.
"Some people may say that your father is a hero. But to you and me, he is just a bastard."
The young woman smiled miserably, turned around and waved, and hung a white silk ribbon on the beam.
There were screams, and the eunuchs outside the palace were hacked to death. Several remnants of the Western Wasteland rushed in, holding knives and laughing wildly: "Found it, these are Li Qinglin's queen and princess!"
The young woman didn't even have a chance to hang the beam, so she silently took a pair of scissors and pressed it against her neck.
The Xihuang soldier's eyes were red, and he laughed wildly and said: "You died, I stripped off your clothes and hung your body outside the city. There is also this little girl. I took it away and sold it to the Xihuang kiln to be a thin horse. She started to work every day when she was a few years old.
Patronize hahaha..."
The young woman was trembling all over as she watched the soldiers from the Western Wilderness rush in and snatch the child away.
The little girl, who was over one year old, sat on the side, looking at the vicious soldiers with her big eyes calmly, without crying.
"I hate this look the most. It has the same character as your damn father!" The Xihuang soldier was so furious that he was about to slap the child in the face.
Suddenly a strong wind roared past, and the slap was blown away. The child was taken away by the invisible force and floated all the way out of the palace.
Turning around, he saw a young man in green clothes walking on the fire and entering the palace. With a flash of green shadow, the man had already stood in front of the queen and handed the child to her.
The queen was stunned for a moment: "You..."
The Western Wasteland soldier raised his sword and said angrily: "Who are you!"
The visitor slowly turned his head, not looking at the soldiers of the Western Wilderness. He looked at the fire not far away with a sad look. After a moment of silence, he whispered in a low voice: "Nanli Imperial Master, Qin Yi."
The mace roared, and before the Western Wasteland soldiers could react, all of them had their heads shattered and died on the ground.
The queen cried bitterly while holding the child in her arms.
The child hid in his mother's arms, staring at Qin Yi's thin back with big eyes without blinking, without saying a word.
Many people have forgotten that Nanli has another national master, but Qin Yi is really the national master of Nanli.
The return of the imperial master easily calmed down the chaos.
With the force that overwhelmed ordinary soldiers and Nanli's respected status as a national advisor, it took less than half a day to reorganize the guards, contact the internal and external ministers, and completely stabilize the entire Lihuo City.
In fact, before Qin Yi entered the city, he saw the city gates were lost and the palace was on fire. His heart was filled with chills. Everyone thought that this must be the destruction of the city and the destruction of the country. He was holding on to the last bit of luck to see if there was anything left.
Opportunity to save Li Qinglin's brother and sister and escape.
When we entered the city, we felt that it was not the case. The palace was on fire, but in the entire Lihuo City, there were only a few remnant soldiers making trouble. There were actually ministers leading their servants to resist, trying to sort out the chaos. It didn't look like they were being occupied at all. Wait until we were rescued.
After going down to the inner palace and contacting foreign ministers, I learned all about Li Qinglin's arrangements from the Prime Minister.
Then I met Ming He and got Ming He's explanation.
"Does it turn out that I am really a friend in his heart?"
"Actually, Li Qinglin... is not an emperor. He is essentially a warrior."
Qin Yi was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "My friends in the Northeast have indeed agreed to your words, but I don't know how to celebrate."
Minghe shook his head and did not answer.
Qin Yi looked at her for a long time, but actually he didn't know what answer he wanted to get.
Minghe has the absolute ability to turn everything around. He can save anyone's life with just a few clicks, and he can even directly help destroy Xihuang. But Qin Yi knows that he cannot blame Minghe for not doing anything, because all this really has nothing to do with her.
Doesn't matter.
In her eyes, there is no right or wrong between Nanli and Xihuang. She is just a spectator, a witness to a piece of history.
What's more, Li Qinglin may not want to be rescued by anyone. For a soldier, being able to die in glory is probably far better than lying in bed old and feeble.
But Qin Yi felt a little uncomfortable after all, and couldn't help but said: "Taoist priest has watched so much, I don't think you have gained much. So far, you have only perfected your piano heart, and you still haven't crossed this hurdle."
"Yes." Ming He said: "After the incident here, Pindao will go back to the sect for retreat, and there will be a breakthrough. In addition, the sword formation of fellow Taoist has given Pindao a lot of inspiration. From now on, the way of formation will definitely be improved.
On the first floor, a poor Taoist owes a fellow Taoist a favor."
Liusu let out a "hum".
Qin Yi said: "My cultivation is not as good as yours, but I always think that your 'experience in the world of mortals' is fake. If you don't put in the effort, it will be just like what you get on paper."
Ming He Qi said: "Fellow Taoist has never had such an idea before... Based on what you mean by Taoist, it seems that you have gained some enlightenment during the trip to the Rift Valley?"
"I didn't go there for enlightenment. It's a pity that everything I did was in vain, even if I didn't say it."
This was outside the ruins of the outer palace. After Qin Yi said this, he ignored Minghe and slowly walked into the ruins.
The fire has been extinguished by the organization. There are charred corpses everywhere in the square. It is impossible to tell who is who. Soldiers are silently cleaning the place.
Snow was still falling in the sky, and soon the square was covered with snow.
Qin Yi wandered back and forth for a long time, and finally stood still. Where he stood, a blackened gun was vaguely exposed in the snow.
He bent down and stroked it gently, wiping away the scorch, revealing the silver light inside.
The longevity elixir has been obtained, but it is no longer needed - even if he comes back early, it will be meaningless to Li Qinglin. In the last days of his life, Li Qinglin knew exactly what he wanted.
Qin Yi knew that he admired him very much. Compared to Ming He, Li Qinglin lived the way he should.
His views on the relationship between immortality and meritorious deeds in the world are slightly biased towards the latter. Although he himself is a salty fish who does not rely on both sides, it does not prevent him from appreciating the latter more.
Therefore, if you get friends from the southwest, you should follow the same path.
The queen came over with the child in her arms, looked at the gun in front of Qin Yi, and asked in a trembling voice: "The Imperial Master... is it, is it this..."
Qin Yi couldn't bear to push the snow off the corpse holding the gun. After a long time, he knelt down and held the child's shoulders: "This is your father's gun. Remember, he is the greatest king in the history of Nanli."
The sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and when they were approaching the ruins, they all stopped and stopped making no sound.
Qin Yi stood up and turned around to look, it was Li Qingjun whose blood-stained robe was there.
The two stared at each other in silence for a long time. Li Qingjun suddenly jumped off his horse and ran over to hug Qin Yi hard.
She almost exhausted all her strength, so much so that Qin Yi's well-forged body felt a little painful, but he didn't say anything, he just gently stroked her hair and felt her trembling body.
Qin Yi knew that she wanted to cry, but he did not cry out.
More than two months have passed, and this innocent girl is no longer the same. She is now Nanli's Optimus Pillar, and she can no longer easily show any weakness on the outside.
Li Qingjun hugged him hard for a long time before she softened as if exhausted, leaned into his arms and whispered: "I will spend at most a day or two to stabilize the situation in the royal city, bury the king's brother, and support my niece to ascend the throne.
At the same time, prepare for war and directly counterattack Xihuang. Are you...are you going?"
"Go." Qin Yi replied simply and clearly.
He is not a spectator like Ming He.
He is Li Qingjun's lover, Li Qinglin's friend, and Nanli's national advisor.
No matter what the reason was, he was happy to wipe Xihuang from the side of his bed for Nan Li.
