Hearing Nie Chen's voice, Nie Hongyu turned around sharply and saw that Nie Chen was grabbing Li Guangxi's hand at the moment, and the sword in his hand was still on Li Xu's neck, but it didn't move at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at this moment, Nie Chen walked up to Nie Hongyu and said, "Father, the child wants to save Li Xu's life." ”

"Huh?" the surrounding people collectively let out a cry of surprise.

"What?!" Nie Hongyu could barely believe his ears.

"You?" Nalan Yan also stretched out her finger and pointed at Nie Chen, but as soon as she spoke, Nalan Rongruo gave her a look.

But the most surprising thing was Li Guangxi, his hand holding the sword had begun to tremble violently, and his godless eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope again. Everyone around them cast puzzled glances at Nie Chen, it stands to reason that Li Xu led the crowd to beat the prince, even if he punished the nine clans, is the emperor's son so easy to beat? Nie Chen's words surprised everyone, including Nie Hongyu.

Facing Nie Hongyu's puzzled gaze, Nie Chen said unhurriedly: "Taishi Li is the pillar of my Northern Liang Kingdom, and Erchen really can't bear to see him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. In addition, today's incident is actually a misunderstanding, if Li Xu had known the identity of his son, he would not have done such a ridiculous thing. ”

The corners of Nie Hongyu's mouth twitched quickly, nonsense, of course people don't know your identity, if they knew, I'm afraid they would have hid far away, and dare to provoke you, the little ancestor?

Nie Chen's words sounded like nonsense, but they really exculpated Li Xu and the others. One is intentional murder and the other is unintentional offense, and the difference between intentional and unintentional is very different. Listening to Nie Chen's words, Nie Hongyu's brows stretched slightly, and the anger in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.

Hearing Nie Chen's words, Li Guangxi was like thunder, ashamed and ashamed, turned over and knelt down, kowtowed to Nie Chen like garlic, and said, "The minister's death penalty, the minister's death penalty!" There were already old tears between the words.

Nie Hongyu glanced at Nie Chen with a pair of dragon eyes: "Then in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Nie Chen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Li Xu's father and son can be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime is inescapable. The rest of the people waited and waited for it, and they were no longer pursued. ”

The scene was silent for a long time, and then Nie Hongyu and Nalan Rongruo nodded slightly (remember to see the fastest update in a second). Charging the army and distributing it is already a rather severe punishment, and many people have died on the road before they can reach the border pass, and there are frequent wars at the border pass, so there is no need to say that they will endure hardships, and they will often have to worry about their lives. But Li Xu and Li Taibai are Li Guangxi's children and grandchildren after all, as long as Li Guangxi is still in the court, then Li Taibai's father and son will naturally not be in danger, but they will just suffer a little.

What's more critical is that Nie Chen's punishment of the Li family only involved Li Taibai and Li Xu, but he didn't mention anything about Li Guangxi, who was the head of the family, and he grasped the proportions just right. not only allowed the perpetrator to be punished, but also made Li Guangxi-hee more grateful to the royal family, and he was desperate and handled it extremely beautifully.

Thinking of this, Nalan Rongruo and Nie Hongyu both glanced at Nie Chen deeply, and the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.

Then, Nie Hongyu smiled slightly, and a relieved expression immediately appeared on his face, and said: "Chen'er, my father was worried that you would make a big deal about this matter, but I didn't expect you to be able to understand the general situation and take the overall situation into account. ”

Nie Hongyu's words were also said very cleverly, which was full of three meanings: first, he was naturally extremely satisfied with Nie Chen's performance, second, he agreed to Nie Chen's suggestion, and the most important thing was the third meaning, I actually didn't want to kill Li Xu, but I had to do it as a last resort.

This third meaning is naturally for Li Guangxi, how can Nie Hongyu not be shrewd as the king of a country, and good people can't let Nie Chen be a good person.

Hearing Nie Hongyu's words, everyone in the Li family, including Li Guangxi, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty Emperor Xie for not killing! Thank Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince for saving your life!"

Seeing this scene, the onlookers present were not only surprised but also impressed by the magnanimity of the emperor and Nie Chen, so they also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor is benevolent!

Nie Ling'er looked at Nie Chen, the corners of the latter's mouth still had a trace of blood, but it seemed to have an indescribable affinity and warmth, so the corners of Nie Ling'er's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Yinyue on the side tilted her head, and her pretty face under the veil showed a burst of doubt, and she secretly said in her heart: The principle of human beings is really strange, this kind of slave who offends his master will not even kill.

At this time, Nie Hongyu finally showed a knowing smile and waved his hand: "Let's get even." ”

Next, there was a Royal Forest Army stepped forward, and took Li Taibai and Li Xu's father and son away, and the two left with tears streaming down their faces. said. Three days later, the two will embark on the long journey to the border.

Nie Hongyu took Nie Chen's hand, pulled him into his sedan chair, and walked away slowly. Qiu Huang personally escorted Nie Ling'er and Yinyue back to the palace. The rest of the people also dispersed, and it was not until everyone was far away that Li Guangxi led the Li family to get up from the ground and return home with a sad face.

Along the way, Nie Hongyu showed great concern for Nie Chen's injuries, and frequently instructed Taiyi to treat the five princes with the best medicinal materials. When he arrived at the Chenwang Mansion, Nie Hongyu personally got out of the sedan chair and sent him to the door, and did not turn around and leave until Nie Chen entered the palace.

The phantom on the side stared at the slowly closing gate of the palace, and said silently in his heart: "Is this person the Nie Chen in the master's mouth?"

After Nie Chen returned to the Chenwang Mansion, Yinyue was already waiting in the palace, and at this time, the veil on her head had gone, and a charming and pretty face was very moving. Seeing that Nie Chen was back, Yinyue hurriedly walked up, helped Nie Chen sit down, and then said softly with guilt: "If it weren't for Yinyue today, Your Highness, you wouldn't have had an accident, Yinyue was very upset?" Of course, Yinyue didn't forget that today's incident was because of herself, and if Nie Chen hadn't been trying to stand out for herself, she wouldn't have been beaten by Li Xu and others.

Nie Chen shook his head: "We are already sisters and brothers, what are you still polite to me?" When Yinyue heard this, her heart was moved, and at the same time, she had a trace of doubt.

Yinyue chatted with Nie Chen for a while, and kept helping him wipe his wounds and apply medicine. After Nie Chen fell asleep, Yinyue walked to her room, and on the way, Yinyue muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "Mother often says that human beings are despicable and shameless villains, but why is this person different from what she said?"

At this time, Nie Chen was lying on the huge bed in the dormitory, and quietly carried the Saint King's Gathering Qi Determination, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi began to pour into Nie Chen's body more rapidly, under the operation of the Holy King's Qi Gathering Determination, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi had entered Nie Chen's body and turned into pure Yuan Force and wandered around Nie Chen's limbs. Gradually, the wounds in Nie Chen's body began to compound at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and after a mouthful of blood spit out, Nie Chen felt that his injuries had completely recovered. Although Nie Chen was not too seriously injured this time, the speed of his recovery still surprised him greatly. It seems that this set of mental methods given to him by Gu Cang is really not comparable to ordinary internal strength mental methods.

Through the accumulation of this period of time, Nie Chen's Yuan Force in his body has become more and more stable and strong, and there are faint signs that he is going to break through the fifth grade of Yuan Disciple and enter the sixth grade of Yuan Disciple. And after today's battle, Yuan Li has been greatly tempered and improved, and when the Saint King's Qi Gathering Decision was operating in his body again, Nie Chen suddenly found that his martial arts barrier had loosened a little.

"Huh? It's going to break through. ”

Nie Chen didn't care about the injury and exhaustion, hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and walked lightly towards the lake in the backyard of the palace. At this time, the moon is high and the stars are scarce, the lake is sparkling, and the insects around are clearly audible, which sets off the silence of the surroundings.

Nie Chen went into the woods and carefully took out the Yuan Dan that Nie Tianya gave him, this Yuan Dan was from the hand of the Creator, which gathered a rich Yuan Qi, although it was not released without luster, but the surface was smooth like a realm, and it was a little heavy in his hand, and it even exuded a little fragrance. Nie Chen put Yuan Dan in front of his nose and sniffed it, then according to the method taught by Nie Tianya, he wrapped it with spiritual power, and then, Yuan Dan automatically suspended in front of Nie Chen's eyes. Nie Chen's eyes closed slightly, and the Saint King gathered his strength and began to absorb the Yuan Power in it.

Nie Tianya once told Nie Chen that everyone is different when it comes to absorbing Yuan Dan, which depends on their own talent and the degree of cultivation of the mind. At the beginning, Nie Tianya asked about the name of the internal strength mental method that Nie Chen cultivated, and in order to conceal Gu Cang's affairs, Nie Chen casually made up a name to fool Nie Tianya. Now, Nie Chen carried the Saint King around his body to gather qi, and under the guidance of his spiritual power, he absorbed the energy in the Yuan Dan into his body. While this Yuan Dan was outputting energy, it spontaneously began to rotate rapidly, and quickly became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after about a cup of tea, the Yuan Dan disappeared completely, and the energy in it was also absorbed by Nie Chen. Strictly speaking, it should be perfectly absorbed. If Nie Tianya was next to him, he would definitely be greatly stimulated, you must know that even his own absorption of a Yuan Dan could only achieve six or seven percent at most, and he would completely and thoroughly absorb it like this, without wasting the slightest absorption method, he had never even heard of it.
