Of course, everything about Gong Jiu's whereabouts was just his own guess. He didn't know the truth, so he didn't say it. But when Gong Jiu suddenly walked into his room in the middle of the night, Xiao Qing was really shocked.
.
When he saw that the person who came was Gong Jiu, he resisted the urge to give her a heart-wrenching blow and asked in a low voice: "How did you get here?"
He still remembered that this was not a place where he could make trouble, and he had to be careful in everything. The matter of the swordsmanship of Jiuyi and Sanchai in the palace would have to wait for a while.
Gong Jiu pointed outside and said matter-of-factly: "Climb over the wall."
Xiao Qing: "..."
...Of course the employer knows that you are not going through the door! He took a deep breath and added: "How did you know I was here?"
"I followed Crown Prince Nan." Gong Jiu's tone was unconcealed disdain, "He felt that he had the throne in his hands. He went to the brothel for several days in a row. If you pay a little attention, it would be easy to spot him.
Traces of.”
Xiao Qing: "..." Is Prince Nan really a pig teammate? Fortunately, he thought the other party was difficult to deal with.
"What's interesting is that he actually left the jade pendant representing his identity on Ouyang Qing's bed." Gong Jiu said easily, "I gave it to Lu Xiaofeng."
"..." Xiao Qing felt that he should light a candle for Prince Nan.
Everything he needed to know was already clear, and he no longer struggled with this issue. He thought of his doubts just now: "Yu Tianbao, the young leader of the Western Demon Cult, is dead. Do you know..." What kind of gossip?
Before he could finish asking, Gong Jiu laughed softly and answered him with three words readily: "I killed him."
Xiao Qing: "..." It was indeed you who did it!
"There are two reasons why I killed him." No need for Xiao Qing to ask, Gong Jiu took the initiative to explain: "First, to contain the Jade Rakshasa, at least for a while; second... I will tell you in the future.
."
You don't deserve to be beaten for showing off your skills! Xiao Qing stared at him expressionlessly, trying to kill him with his eyes, but... "Do you know that Jade Rakshasa is pretending to be dead?"
Gong Jiu smiled and said nothing.
September 15th, full moon night.
Whether they got the blue ribbon as a ticket from Lu Xiaofeng or other channels, the martial arts masters who were qualified to enter the palace entered the palace more than an hour in advance. After all, they cost tens of thousands or even more.
The qualifications to enter the palace are not cheap. If you arrive late and don’t see anything, then you will die of frustration?
Although the Rakshasa card is very attractive, it has to be taken with your life, right? Besides, it is September 15th, and there are still four months until the 15th day of the first lunar month next year. Those who have some thoughts about the Western Demonic Cult
, and there was still time to do some small tricks after watching the duel between the two great swordsmen.
Ximen Chuixue met Ye Gucheng by chance two months ago, but Ye Gucheng didn't see him at that time. Now that he saw Ye Gucheng again, who seemed unwilling to say a word to him, Ximen Chuixue's doubts gradually disappeared.
Since then, Ye Gucheng opposite him has always given him a strange... sense of dissonance.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the martial arts masters who entered the palace were already waiting there.
Ximen Chuixue glanced at Ye Gucheng and flew onto the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with Ye Gucheng following closely behind.
Ye Gucheng, who had not talked to Ximen Chuixue until now, suddenly said: "We haven't seen each other for many years, how are you doing?"
The two of them had indeed met a few years ago, but Ximen Chuixue had not yet become famous at that time, and they did not have much contact with each other. Ximen Chuixue was hesitant in his heart, but he still said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm lucky to be fine."
Ye Gucheng said: "Why bring up the old things again? In today's battle, you and I must do our best." His voice was already weak, and after saying a few words, he seemed to be breathing heavily.
Ximen Chuixue's doubts deepened.
It wasn't until Ye Gucheng's sword was unsheathed that Ximen Chuixue realized that the opponent's sword seemed different from the one he saw two months ago?
If Ximen Chuixue was just doubtful, then Lu Xiaofeng was certain.
He had seen Ye Gucheng take out a sword at Chunhua Tower two days ago, and that sword was completely different from the sword in "Ye Gucheng's" hand now!
Did Ye Gucheng change his sword, or... is this Ye Gucheng fake?!
Lu Xiaofeng was startled. He suddenly thought of something and immediately grabbed Wei Ziyun, who was responsible for the security of the palace: "Where is the emperor?"
At the same time, South Study Room.
Xiao Qing stood alone in the shadows, watching Prince Nan and the emperor talk nonsense, and finally said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, the nights are long and the dreams are many."
Prince Nan was choked up. He glanced at Xiao Qing with cold eyes and secretly decided that when he took the throne, the first person he would deal with was this guy who kept denying him face!
"The night is long and there are many dreams." As soon as the emperor finished saying this, a "grid" sound suddenly sounded from the wooden pillars on all sides at the same time. The secret door slid open and four people flashed out.
These four people are naturally martial arts masters, but unfortunately they met Ye Gucheng and had to become dead souls under the sword.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged and he praised: "The flying immortal from the sky can break seven stars with one sword. He is indeed a good swordsman."
Ye Gucheng said: "I have good swordsmanship to begin with."
The emperor sighed: "You are a beautiful woman, how can I become a thief!"
Probably because Xiao Qing had previously despised Crown Prince Nan for talking too much nonsense, Ye Gucheng didn't answer and stabbed directly with his sword. The tip of the sword was about to penetrate the emperor's chest——
"stop!"
It was Lu Xiaofeng who hurried over.
Xiao Qing immediately stopped in front of Lu Xiaofeng.
"Qingxiao!"
Lu Xiaofeng's pupils shrank, obviously he had never thought that he would see his new friends here. Looking at the situation, it seemed that his two new friends, whether it was Ye Gucheng or "Taoist Priest Qingxiao", were involved.
He was involved in this huge conspiracy and was on the opposite side of the emperor.
Without saying a word, Xiao Qing threw a Sancai metamorphosis at Lu Xiaofeng. After sparring with Ye Gucheng and Gong Jiu, his skill accuracy was already very high. In addition, Lu Xiaofeng was shocked, and he was hit in one move.
, stood there, unable to move.
At this moment, Ye Gucheng's sword had penetrated the emperor's heart, and the situation was decided!
The emperor is dead and there is no prince at his knees. The one who will inherit the throne in the future must choose between King Pingnan and King Taiping.
At this time, Crown Prince Nan who was standing aside immediately stepped forward, opened the jade bottle in his hand, and sprinkled the medicinal powder inside on the emperor's exposed skin. After a few breaths, the emperor was beyond recognition and could no longer be seen.
The same as before.
A proud smile appeared on Prince Nan's face. No one could stop him from ascending to the supreme position now.
Ye Gucheng drew out his sword, and the blade flashed with cold light. There was no trace of blood on it.
Lu Xiaofeng said angrily: "Is this your purpose?"
Ye Gucheng said: "It's just the winner and the loser." His attitude was extremely normal, as if he was walking under the moon.
Lu Xiaofeng choked immediately, and looked at Xiao Qing again: "Tao Yuanyuan is outside the mortal world, why is he involved?"
Xiao Qing did not answer immediately. He took off his bamboo hat, revealing his extremely conspicuous white hair and his silver eyes.
