368. A life-and-death duel

Li Rui turned his head and looked at Su Xiaorou, who was about to collapse, and his eyes were full of tears in an instant.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Rui said painfully and resolutely: "Little comb, I can promise you anything." But this time, no! I don't care if your brother Su Junchu took away my family, but I can't forgive him for killing my parents! I can't let go of this hatred, I must go to him! ”

Su Xiaorou cried out loud in despair, unable to say a word anymore.

Liu Yangfeng came over at this time and said, "Brother Rui, if you want to take revenge, we can discuss it slowly." It's also dangerous for you to go to the palace like this. ”

"I knew it would be dangerous, and I also knew that it would not be easy to kill Su Junchu. However, no matter how strong a person is, he will have his weakness. And Su Junchu, I now know that his weakness is his new queen Niannian. Li Rui clenched his fists tightly and said word by word, his gaze was extremely firm.

"What do you want to do? Brother Rui, you can't hurt my sister Niannian. Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, let's take our time, and I can go to the palace with you when the time comes, and I wish you a good hand. Liu Yangfeng said.

"Thank you. However, I just want to solve this matter alone. Don't worry, Niannian is also my friend, and I won't hurt her in any way. Help me take good care of the little comb, I have to go to the palace this time, if I don't die, we will have a time later. Li Rui resolutely finished saying these words, then turned around and strode out.

On a spring night, there was no moonlight or stars, and the sky was drizzling incessantly.

Nian Nian sat in Nian Chu Palace, listening to the sound of the dripping rain, and her heart also swelled with inexplicable sorrow.

During these days, she and Su Junchu have truly become a loving couple who accompany each other day and night.

Su Junchu would come to Aiyu Palace every day to accompany her, trying his best to make her happy and make her happy. In all fairness, Su Junchu's doting and care for Nian Nian is really meticulous, so good that there is nothing to say.

The old men and grandmothers who have been in the palace for decades have said in private that they have served several emperors, and they have never seen an emperor treat their queen or concubine, like this young new emperor, so attentive and considerate to their queen, so caring.

Moreover, since the new emperor ascended the throne for a few months, some ministers have long begged the emperor to take a concubine. The emperor has been ignoring it, and even became angry.

There are a few palace maids with outstanding appearance, relying on their own appearance, seeing the young and handsome emperor, they can't help but feel spring and want to get into it. When he encountered an opportunity, he frequently sent autumn waves to the emperor, but he was immediately expelled from the palace mercilessly.

In his harem, in addition to the imaginary Concubine Lan, there is only one and only queen mother who is doted on by him......

Over time, everyone in the palace knew. In addition to the queen's mother, the new emperor is not close to women, which inevitably makes everyone sigh.

Almost all of them are envious of the queen who is the only one. People up and down the palace respected her and flattered her.

However, this qiē is not exactly what Nian Nian wants. In her heart, she often thinks of Li Mo, Xiaorou, and Li Rui.

She knew that one day, this seemingly peaceful court life would be disrupted by them......

At this time today, it may be that government affairs are busy, and Su Junchu has not come over yet.

Nian Nian asked Zhuzhu to go back to rest earlier, she sat alone in the Aiyu Palace, thinking about her own thoughts, and waiting for Su Junchu.

Because, since they were really together that time, no matter how busy or late they were, Su Junchu would come here every day.

Nian Nian was thinking about it, but suddenly heard a heavy sound of the window lattice, and then the carved window was vigorously pushed open outside, and a agile figure jumped in from the window.

"Ahh Second Prince! Nian Nian covered his mouth and exclaimed.

Yes, now that he broke through the window and suddenly appeared in front of Nian Nian, it was Li Rui, the second prince of the former Yoo Kingdom. He was wearing a short black coat, his hair and clothes were already drenched in the drizzle, and he looked melancholy and cold.

"Don't call me the second prince, where is Su Junchu?" Li Rui opened his mouth bluntly, he looked at Nian Nian, and a complex feeling surged in his heart.

This girl, who used to be his imperial sister-in-law, used to have a deep friendship with him. But now, she has become the queen of the Ning Dynasty and the wife of his enemy. And he came this time to kill her husband, Su Junchu, the son of Ning Dynasty.

"Li Rui, what do you want to do? Don't look for him...... Let's go! He's probably coming soon, and I don't want any of you to have anything to do with him. Niannian's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

She understood what Li Rui was looking for Su Junchu to do, and like Su Xiaorou, no matter who she saw hurting whom, it would be the heaviest blow to her.

"He's coming, that's right, I'll wait for him here." Li Rui said so.

His face was no longer the familiar look of giggling and nonchalant in the past, but became deep, stern and cold.

"Li Rui! I know...... You hate him now. But when is the time for retribution...... Listen to me, I will persuade him to return the throne to your eldest brother or you. Don't think about killing him! You go back first, it's dangerous here, and he's been looking for you. The two of you, whoever kills anyone will make me miserable for the rest of my life, and I believe that Xiaorou will be the same as me, can you go back first? Nian Nian said eagerly and anxiously, bent on wanting Li Rui to leave quickly.

She was really worried that Su Junchu would come in and see Li Rui at this time.

Then, between the two of them, there will definitely be a life-and-death struggle. And no matter who hurts whom, the two of them will be the last thing Nian Nian wants to see.

"Since I decided to come, I didn't see Su Junchu, of course I won't just leave. Niannian, this is a matter between our men, you don't have to meddle. Li Rui said resolutely.

"Li Rui, why are you so stupid! You can only lose both sides like this, and it will also make Xiao Rou and me sad! Why can't you think more about it? Wouldn't it be better if the problem could be resolved in a peaceful way? Nian Nian's voice was even more anxious, because the later it was, the closer the time for Su Junchu to come here.

"Did he take the throne peacefully? He didn't! After he killed my father and mother, I will not kill him, but I will be the son of man in vain!" Nian Nian, you don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind, and today, either he dies or I die! I'm going to have to break up with him! Li Rui's eyes swept through pain, but also over firmness.

"Li Rui!" Nian Nian screamed sharply, and his heart was tormented and sad as if he had been crushed by a needle and a knife.

However, she didn't know how to persuade this man who had been blinded by deep hatred at this time.

"Niannian, how are you doing now? Looks like he's very nice to you. Li Rui changed the topic, looked at Nian Nian and asked.

"Yes, he was very nice to me. But...... I still miss you so much. Nian Nian lowered her head, her voice very sad.

"I can see that you don't seem to be happy. Niannian, if I can get out of here alive today, you can go with me and go to live a free life outside the palace. Li Rui said sincerely.

"Thank you, Li Rui, but ...... My third brother and I are already husband and wife. Me and him...... I love each other very much, I can't just leave him. Niannian's eyes were a little moist, and the enthusiasm in Li Rui's words moved her. However, how could she lose her memories with Su Junchu and leave here alone?

The two of them were relatively speechless for a while, full of emotion.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside.

Niannian panicked, hurriedly pushed Li Rui and said, "Let's go, count me as a begging for you." ”

Li Rui smiled faintly, his eyes looked directly at the direction of the gate, and he said resolutely and surely: "I said that I won't go like this!" ”

As they spoke, they all saw that Su Junchu was already standing at the door of the dormitory.

"Li Rui?" Su Junchu saw Li Rui standing in the room, he was slightly stunned at first, and then said in a calm tone: "It turned out to be you, I was ordering people to look for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself." ”

"Hehe, what a bold man. Su Junchu, you can take over the world quietly, I, Li Rui, have nothing to say. However, you killed my parents, and I can't help but avenge this revenge. Today, I am going to gamble with you with my life, who dies and who lives, each according to his ability. Su Junchu, do you dare to fight alone with me? Li Rui looked at Su Junchu coldly.

"What an arrogant tone." Su Junchu sneered slightly, and then said, "If you want to go head-on, of course there is no problem." This method is very good, how do you compare? ”

"Use your sword, it's faster!" Li Rui quietly spit out a few words, and then, there was a long sword in his hand that was cold and cold.

"Don't!" Nian Nian exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I think my swordsmanship will not lose to you. Then let's go out and compare, don't be scared of Niannian. Su Junchu said lightly, his voice was very calm.

This time, he didn't say I, but used the word I. Then, he took his sword and walked out of the house first.

Li Rui followed Su Junchu and walked out. Almost immediately, there was the sound of swords clashing and swords clashing outside the door.

Nian Nian stood in the room for a moment, and rushed out without hesitation.

I saw the sword shining brightly, and the cold air was full of sky. Su Junchu and Li Rui's swords were like snakes, pressing on each other step by step.

The two fought together with all their might in the drizzle that kept falling in the dark night. The moves are fierce, the sword seals the throat, and even the surrounding wind is dyed with a fierce aura. For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

Nian Nian stood nervously beside her, she wanted to shout for them to stop fighting, but she didn't dare to open her mouth casually.

She knew that at the critical moment of this kind of life-and-death duel between masters, as long as she spoke out, it would inevitably affect the mentality of the two people and distract the energy of the two people. Perhaps, there will be irreversible consequences.

However, if they continue to fight like this, then in the end, one person will surely fall under the sword of the other party.

For a moment, Niannian's heart was like a thousand hooves and horses, she bit her fingers tightly, and she felt chills all over her body.

The increasingly fierce and ferocious fighting attracted a large number of palace guards.

Seeing the emperor and an assassin fighting together, everyone was shocked and anxious. The archers set up their longbows at the moment, but they didn't dare to shoot arrows at will, for fear of injuring the emperor by mistake.

A group of guards rushed over with swords, wanting to protect the emperor, but they heard Su Junchu snort coldly in the gap between the sword dances: "No need to come over, I said that I would fight with him alone." ”

So, although the guards surrounded Li Rui and Su Junchu, none of them dared to step forward.

I don't know how long this sword contest has been going on, the clothes of both people have been soaked by the rain, and the sound of swords has become more and more fierce.

Nian Nian rushed to the inner layer of the guards, her nerves could no longer bear such tension, she must stop them from fighting any longer.

At this time, Li Rui's sword move was a little slow, and a small flaw appeared.

Su Junchu didn't let go of this rare opportunity, his long sword was like a calcium carbide spark, and a sword stabbed straight into Li Rui's throat, and Nian Nian exclaimed loudly: "Third brother! Don't kill him! ”

Niannian's cry made Su Junchu's mind divide, and he hesitated when he made a move.

His hesitation at this flash gave Li Rui the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. said that it was too late, and as soon as Nian Nian's eyes flickered, he saw that the sword in Li Rui's hand was as fast as lightning, and it had pierced straight into Su Junchu's right arm.

The sword held in Su Junchu's right hand fell to the ground, blood gushed out along his right arm, and his body jumped backwards into the air, quickly opening up a large distance from Li Rui.

At the same time, the archers who had been prepared just now drew their longbows, and sharp arrows flew towards Li Rui with a "whoosh". Li Rui quickly swung his sword to dodge and dodge, but he was still hit by an arrow.

The guards guarding the side rushed forward, surrounded Li Rui three layers inside and three layers outside, and launched a fierce siege on him.

Li Rui had already had a fierce fight with Su Junchu, but now he was wounded by an arrow, and he was one enemy of a hundred, and his body was gradually exhausted.

Seeing Li Rui's life and death, Nian Nian cried and shouted: "Third brother, let them stop!" Let them stop! Let Li Rui go! ”

"No! He didn't kill me just now, and now he doesn't have a chance to get out of here. Letting him go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and I won't let him go! Su Junchu said categorically.

Seeing Su Junchu's resolute expression, there was no room for maneuver, and Li Rui's body was already covered with knife wounds, and if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.

Nian Nian's thoughts were no longer overwhelmed, she bent down and picked up a long knife that fell to the ground when the guards were fighting, crossed her neck, and shouted regardless of it: "Third brother, if you don't let go of Li Rui today, I will die here!" ”

Su Junchu wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her, Niannian's face was as pale as white paper, and the kind of resoluteness and sadness revealed in his eyes frightened him.

"Stop! Let him go! Su Junchu gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to stop.
