Chapter 100: Crisis!
Chapter 100: Crisis!
"Dead?" said everyone in the hall had their faces changed.
"Where did you die?" someone asked urgently.
"The body of the demon python was taken away by an old man in a black robe. ”
Li Yiqi pondered for a moment, and then took out the words prepared in advance: "Last night, I was swept away by a demon python, just near the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, and suddenly there was a sound of empty explosion, and a pitch-black ghost hand broke through the clouds and mist, slashed at the demon python's body, and killed the seriously injured and dying demon python. ”
"Ghost hands?"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall frowned, and among the commanders of the forbidden army, a general with a long knife hanging from his waist asked, "What kind of ghost hand?" ”
"You have to do it. ”
Li Yiqi nodded, and said without changing his face: "When that ghost hand appeared, a sound like a ghost crying wolf suddenly sounded in the sky, as if there were countless demon illusions constantly living and dying in the clouds and mist. Then I only heard a long howl - 'I didn't expect my Ten Thousand Demon Lord to see the light of day again, hahahaha'...... In this way, the ten-zhang-long corpse of the demon python turned into a palm-sized ball of meat and was taken away by the black-robed old man. ”
"Ten Thousand Demon Lord?!"
Hearing these four words, the whole hall was shocked, and the faces of all the generals of the forbidden army changed, and they suddenly stood up from their chairs, and even King Ping opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Yiqi incredulously.
"But the sectarian thief who broke into the summer palace two hundred years ago?"
The commander of the forbidden army's expression changed for a moment, and exclaimed: "Impossible, that thief has already been killed by His Majesty the Martial Emperor with his own hands, and it is recorded in the case files of the forbidden army!"
Hearing this, although Li Yiqi was clear in his heart, he frowned slightly on the surface, pretending to show a trace of doubt.
This is, of course, a story he made up in advance.
Ten Thousand Demon Monarch is a big demon who dominated the world two hundred years ago, a figure in the Jianghu sect world who talks about tiger color change, he is young, and his one-handed demonic cultivation has entered the realm of no one.
Back then, not long after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the Ten Thousand Demon Monarch heard that the new emperor of Great Xia turned out to be a woman, so he couldn't help but come to the capital to see what the empress looked like, and even broke into the summer palace and killed hundreds of forbidden troops and internal guards, just to see the true face of Emperor Wu, and even said a rebellious remark about Emperor Wu.
The people in the sect world acted so arrogantly, at that time, although the cultivation of the Martial Emperor was high, but it was still not at the peak, under the siege of the palace worship and many forbidden army masters, the Ten Thousand Demon Monarch finally fled to the eastern suburbs of the mountains.
It is said that the traces of the Ten Thousand Demon Monarchs disappeared near the Imperial Tomb, and the forbidden army searched for several years without a trace...... Li Yiqi experienced this incident personally in the Linlang Fantasy Land as Ye Wujiang, a general of the forbidden army.
"There seems to be such a thing. ”
Suddenly, one of the commanders of the Praetorian Army spoke. This person is very old, and he looks like a veteran of the forbidden army.
"The old man once heard the seniors in the forbidden army talk about this when he was young, the thief caused a great storm back then, His Majesty the Martial Emperor was angry and killed him, but in fact, the thief was seriously injured and escaped with secret techniques, it is said that the forbidden army searched later, but never found the body, and never heard the news of the ten thousand demon kings, so the court determined that he was dead......"
When the words fell, the commanders of the forbidden army were stunned, and then their brows furrowed, they were all in their thirties and forties, and it was naturally impossible for them to know so clearly about the events of two hundred years ago, whether the Ten Thousand Demon Monarchs were dead or not, who could really be sure?
"The skill of that thief is so high, it is said that he was already approaching the peak of Tianwu at that time, and if there is an adventure, it is not impossible to live for two hundred years,"
"Yes, the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs is the place where the lifeblood of my Great Xia country is located, the terrain is shaped like a green dragon and a pen, a screen and a horse, and there are many caves, if the thief has been in retreat for hundreds of years, it is also possible. ”
"In the sectarian world, all kinds of secret techniques emerge in endlessly, but I haven't heard of any exercises that can prolong people's lives, but that evil thief should not be underestimated, no one thought that he could escape from His Majesty the Martial Emperor back then. ”
"If the thief is still alive now, I am afraid that his skills will increase greatly, I will wait for the guards to go to Beijing, how to deal with it, no, I will immediately give the general Ming and enter the palace to face the saint!"
......
The commanders of the forbidden army in the lobby were in a mess, and everyone was suspicious of Li Yiqi's words, mainly because Li Yiqi described the appearance of the 'Ten Thousand Demon Monarch' in too much detail, and it had reached a level that could not be imagined unless he saw it with his own eyes, and he really did not find the body of the Ten Thousand Demon Monarch back then, so it led to everyone saying everything now.
"It's nonsense, that thief died two hundred years ago, and even if he is still alive, he can't live until now!"
King Ping's eyes were as sharp as a blade, staring at Li Yiqi, and suddenly shouted: "This king must have something to hide from this kid!
A loud shout sounded in his ears, Li Yiqi was silent on the surface, but he had been quietly observing King Ping's reaction, and sure enough, he found that when King Ping stared at him, a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.
With a sneer in his heart, Li Yiqi looked sarcastic, picked up the teacup, and said leisurely: "I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the old man appeared for just a moment, and I didn't see the face and appearance clearly, I could only judge from the voice that it was an old man, and as for other things, I didn't know anything." ”
Li Yiqi insisted and threw the pot on the body of the 'Ten Thousand Demon Monarch', so that no one could find out whether it was true or false, after all, the body of the demon python had been devoured by Jin Ling in the mausoleum of Emperor Wu.
"King Ping, don't be impatient. ”
At this time, Wang Zhong of Dali Temple spoke, he looked at Li Yiqi, and there was a trace of doubt on his face: "Shizi, this official has also heard rumors two hundred years ago, that Ten Thousand Demon Monarch is said to be bloodthirsty, why are you safe and sound?"
After saying this, everyone in the hall also looked at Li Yiqi with strange eyes, everyone knew that there was something strange hidden in this matter, the most strange thing was that the descendants of the Li family were swept away by the demon python, and there was no scar on his body after he came back, besides, if he really met the big devil two hundred years ago, ten Li Yiqi would not be enough to kill......
"The prince of the world is not to blame the official for being straightforward, but he has doubts. Dali Temple Cheng Wang Zhong said expressionlessly.
He didn't target Li Yiqi, but the Dali Temple compound criminal case, and he paid attention to impartiality when trying the case, even if it was a suspicious point, he had to figure it out.
"It doesn't matter, what the adults said is very true, and there are doubts in the heart of the late life. ”
Li Yiqi shook his head lightly, he knew that the Zuo Cheng of Dali Temple in front of him was an upright official and had high morals, although he was not as good as the likes of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, he was also quite respected, and he would not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"At that time, when I saw the old man, I didn't think about it so much, I just felt that there was a master to rescue, and even wanted to come forward to thank you, but suddenly the clouds and smoke changed in front of me, and I heard countless ghosts crying in my ears, and then my mind went blank, and my body fell into a fast-flowing river, and in the next step, I didn't remember anything......"
"The Soul Sound, the Adversary's fame stunt. When the oldest commander of the forbidden army heard this, his eyes were sharp, and his face was quite solemn.
"It seems that the river saved this kid's life......"
Many people looked at Li Yiqi and sighed with emotion in their hearts.
"Shizi, can you guarantee that what you say is true?" Wang Zhong looked at Li Yiqi and asked in a condensed voice.
"Naturally, there is no half-talk. Li Yiqi's face was straight, he nodded heavily, and added: "You can sign and paint as a guarantee!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhong nodded, got up and walked to Xuan Yenan, who was at the top of the lobby, bowed, and the two whispered to each other.
After a while, Wang Zhong said loudly to everyone in the hall: "The matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Monarch will be put aside for the time being, and the matter of the demon python will be dealt with first." ”
After that, he glanced at the left and right officials, and the officials understood, and hurriedly walked out of the hall, and dragged out a burly figure in ragged clothes, covered in blood, and with a cloak from the prison of Dali Temple.
"How so?"
Wang Zhong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the depressed prisoner in the hall, and many officials from Dali Temple under the hall also stood up one after another.
"Who is this person, and why do they react so much?" Li Yiqi sat quietly on the side, quietly looking at the person in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything, but somehow, he also felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar.
"Yan Qi?!"
"It's Yan Qi!"
"Torture was carried out!"
The seven or eight commanders of the forbidden army saw this person's face clearly, and suddenly changed color together, and the oldest commander of the forbidden army slapped the table angrily, glaring at the officials of Dali Temple, his face was extremely unhappy.
"General Yan Qi, what's going on?!" Li Yiqi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this person, the strong man who was like a prisoner in the hall turned out to be Yan Qi, the general of the forbidden army who fought the demon python with him in the eastern suburbs last night!
It's only been a day, what happened?!
Why does a good person look dying......
"Who told you to torture him?"
Wang Zhong's expression was ugly, his eyes swept to the servant, and he asked angrily. Obviously, he was also confused, and he didn't know how Yan Qi could become like this.
The official in Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, glanced at King Ping timidly, and said in a low voice: "Go back to your lordship, His Royal Highness King Ping went to the prison before. ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhong was stunned at first, then turned to look at King Ping, his brows furrowed slightly, his face was faintly unhappy, his tone was mixed with anger, and asked, "His Royal Highness King Ping, is this matter serious?"
"Hehe, this king came early, so he went to prison. ”
Facing the sharp gazes of more than a dozen people in the hall, King Ping was expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "This thief is ineffective in fighting, dereliction of duty, and letting go of the demon python is a big crime, and this king is also acting on orders."
Hearing this, whether it was the generals of the forbidden army or the officials of Dali Temple, all their faces changed, and there was a faint anger in their eyes.
"King Ping, you have trespassed!"
Yang Baiyi, the right man of Dali Temple, glared at King Ping angrily and shouted in a deep voice.
Harsh government and tyrannical punishment has always been despised by Confucianism, even in this Dali Temple, only those who are extremely vicious criminals will be subject to criminal law.
And Yan Qi, as the general of the forbidden army, was only charged with a crime because he was the person who commanded the encirclement and suppression of the demon python last night, and let the demon python go, and was imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, which dealt with the case, and the case was not even closed.
The faces of the generals of the forbidden army are also ugly, and King Ping is too presumptuous! In any case, Yan Qi is also a member of the forbidden army, and it is not King Ping's turn to deal with it!
"Hehe, this king is ordered by His Majesty to observe all the proceedings of this case, and if you are not satisfied, you can play Your Majesty. ”
In the face of everyone's anger, King Ping sneered and didn't care.
The king is the king, and the minister is the minister!
Although Emperor Xia gave way to the military family and Confucianism, and rarely interfered in the affairs of the government and the opposition, the status of the imperial family has never changed. The Xia family is the master of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and King Ping is also surnamed Xia, and he has the bloodline passed down from the generation of the Holy Emperor, which is noble and extraordinary, how can he be afraid of this group of civil officials and military generals.
"King Ping, you ......!"
When everyone saw King Ping's arrogant appearance, they all glared angrily, but they could only hide it.
"Enough, this king sees that this kid is talking nonsense, what ten thousand demon kings, he made it up blindly, and when this king interrogates him, he will naturally be clear. ”
King Ping looked at Li Yiqi with a sneer, and made up his mind to treat him well.
"Li Jiu kills, Li Jiu kills, on weekdays, you are careful so that this king can't catch the handle, but now that your grandson is involved in the case, then don't blame this king......"
"King Ping, this son is pregnant with the crown prince's golden order, you can't mess around!"
Above the lobby, Xuanye Nan, who was located in the first seat, spoke calmly, and glanced at King Ping with a stern gaze.
From the very beginning, this current dynasty Jiuqing has been silent, quiet and terrifying.
"Prince Jin Ling?!"
King Ping's face changed slightly, as the prince of the year and the prince of the royal family now, of course he knew what it meant.
"Heh, what about the crown prince's golden order, the prince is willful, and he brings people into the hunting garden to hunt and kill demon beasts without permission, disrupting the deployment of the forbidden army, causing the forbidden army to miss the best opportunity to capture it, and the demon beasts finally escape!
Boom –
As soon as King Ping's remarks came out, the hall was full of shock, the officials of Dali Temple, the generals of the forbidden army, and even Li Yiqi couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at King Ping incredulously.
"Damn, that's what you mean!"
reacted instantly, a cold glint flickered in Li Yiqi's dark eyes, and a nameless anger in his heart almost exploded in his chest.
He finally knew the purpose of King Ping's visit!
As the prince of the royal family, King Ping has no reason to participate in a case at all, even if he is ordered to come to observe, it is good to walk for a long time, after all, even if it is to catch demon beasts, this kind of thing is not King Ping's turn to do it himself.
Why is King Ping so concerned?
He even went to the prison to torture Yan Qi in person!
It turned out to be to convict the prince!
"General Yan!"
Li Yiqi's face changed slightly, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he ran directly to Yan Qi's side, gently parted the other party's mouth, and then gasped.
"Don't look at it, the thief's mouth is very hard, and the king cut off his tongue, and as for what he dictated before, the king has already written it, and has signed it, and drawn it. ”
King Ping took out a golden Gonlong cover document, and he knew that in the words inside, a layer of dirty water must have been poured on the prince, and it was the kind that was difficult to scrub.
"What happened when the demon python was rounded up last night, there are only two people who know best, one is the prince, the other is Yan Qi, Yan Qi was beaten into this picture of no one and no ghost, if you want to say that the prince did not interfere with the actions of the forbidden army, who can stand up and speak, even if it is those partial generals and deputy generals who acted with Yan Qi, I am afraid that the end at this time will not be much better than Yan Qi. ”
Li Yiqi's face was quite ugly, he never expected that the prince of the royal family would participate in the seizure of the heir so quickly, and King Ping was still on the opposite side of the prince.
At this time, the position of the crown prince may be really dangerous......
