Chapter 108: Assassination in front of the mausoleum
After nearly 20 days of arduous marching, Zhao Guangyi's coffin finally arrived at the Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum.
Zhao Guangyi's Yongxi Mausoleum was built from more than 20 years ago, the scale is far more than two miles away, the Yongchang Mausoleum of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is large-scale, covers an area of about 4,000 acres in total, there are upper palaces, lower palaces, palace cities and mausoleums on the ground, and are planted with four seasonal flowers such as pines, cypresses, oranges, etc. There is an underground palace more than 30 meters deep under the mausoleum platform that is more than 80 meters high.
The mausoleum has been built, and the burial regulations have ancestral systems and precedents, although complicated, they are also being carried out in an orderly manner.
In the scorching summer, Ling Kun was still wearing heavy armor, and he was about to get out of breath.
His armor is not to protect himself, but just a dress for the first general.
It's cool, but it's too hot.
Zhao Mingyue knelt on the ground with her brothers and sisters, looked at Ling Kun who was sweating from time to time, felt some pity in her heart, and had the heart to wipe him, but she was embarrassed, so she could only comfort him with her eyes.
Sure enough, when Ling Kun saw Zhao Mingyue's soft eyes, he felt refreshed, the sky was no longer hot, and the armor was no longer heavy.
Under his careful and conscientious arrangement, the road was unimpeded and nothing happened, and after the funeral was over today, the emperor could be escorted back to Beijing by fast horse, and then it would be completely safe.
Thinking of this, Ling Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a long roar, and saw three white shadows shooting down from the air like sharp swords in the shape of a zigzag, attacking Zhao Heng.
Ling Kun was shocked: "There are assassins, escorts." As he spoke, he jumped over and protected Zhao Heng in front of him. The Ouchi guards immediately formed a guard formation and surrounded Zhao Heng in the middle.
"The White Lotus Sect Master came to take the life of the Dog Emperor on the orders of the Buddha." With a loud shout, the three figures had already rushed forward, fighting with the Ouchi guards.
With a scream, the most elite Ouchi guards in the Great Song Palace fell to the ground one after another, dead and wounded, and the surrounding spirit guards couldn't intervene. In an instant, there was only one Ling Kun between Zhao Heng and the assassin.
Zhao Heng trembled with fright, and almost fell to the ground, Zhao Mingyue stepped forward in time, supported him, and comforted: "Third brother, don't be afraid, Ling Kun is here." ”
Zhao Heng nodded reluctantly, putting all his hope on Ling Kun.
The three assassins had white veils on their faces, but the first one had already declared himself to be the White Lotus Sect Master, and Ling Kun also recognized from his figure and eyes that this person was the Dongfang Duzun he had seen on Qixia Mountain.
He didn't think much about it, he used the seventh-level Ziling Divine Skill, and slapped his palm towards Dongfang Duzun.
"Look for death!" Dongfang Duzun didn't look at this guy in armor at all, and pointed at Ling Kun's palm. Hearing only the two sounds of "click, click", the index finger and arm of the Eastern Sect Master were broken one after another under the impact of the powerful internal force, and the person was also shocked by Ling Kun.
Sure enough, as Master Xuanbei said, Dongfang Duzun is just a showcase.
"Okay, General Ling is mighty." There was a burst of applause from the court, and Zhao Heng, Zhao Mingyue and others were overjoyed, and they finally put their minds at ease. Now that the sect leader was beaten all over the ground by Ling Kun, the remaining two would not be a problem.
However, they rejoiced too soon. One of the remaining two masked men stared at Ling Kun and said, "Are you Ling Kun?" ”
Ling Kun was wearing a helmet on his head at the moment, and his face was covered with sweat stains and dirt, who could actually recognize him like this? Ling Kun was puzzled: "Who are you, how do you recognize me?" ”
"Hmph." The other party snorted coldly twice, pulled off his mask, and turned out to be Gu Qingcheng who danced the dragon at the Lantern Festival.
Ling Kun was taken aback, knowing that this was the difficult master, he could shake the Dongfang Sole Venerable with one palm, but he couldn't make a move in Gu Qingcheng's hands.
Zhao Mingyue also recognized Gu Qingcheng, and was even more frightened than Ling Kun, and pushed Zhao Heng behind and said, "Third brother, go quickly." ”
"Don't even think about leaving." Gu Qingcheng snorted softly, his voice was not very high, but it shook the hearts of everyone at the scene, and they almost vomited blood. Zhao Heng stayed where he was and didn't dare to move again.
Although Ling Kun knew that he was not Gu Qingcheng's opponent, he couldn't run for his life alone, so he was ready to fight.
Gu Qingcheng squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "I want you to know the fate of lying to me." As he spoke, he slashed at Ling Kun with a palm, and the palm wind whistled.
Ling Kun raised his palm to greet him, but it was the mantis arm as a car, and after a muffled snort, a mouthful of blood shot out, and the person fell softly at Zhao Mingyue's feet.
Zhao Mingyue held Ling Kun and said hurriedly: "Ling Kun, how are you?" Is there something wrong? ”
Gu Qingcheng put his hands behind his back, stepped forward and said, "And you, and the little girl who claims to be the princess of Liao, let's give this dog emperor a funeral." As he spoke, a strong wind shot out and struck Zhao Mingyue's chest.
Seeing this scene, Ling Kun, who was dying, knew that Zhao Mingyue couldn't resist this killing move, so he tried his last bit of strength and jumped up to meet the finger wind.
Hearing the sound of "poof", Ling Kun's chest was pierced, and blood gushed out.
"Nope." Zhao Mingyue screamed and rushed over to hug Ling Kun. Gu Qingcheng was even more furious, and shouted: "If you want to find death, I will fulfill you." As he spoke, he slapped his palm at Ling Kun's Heavenly Spirit Gai.
Zhao Mingyue didn't even think about it, and leaned over to protect her body on Ling Kun.
Gu Qingcheng snorted coldly, his palm momentum remained the same, but his skills were more sufficient, and he wanted to slap these two people to death with one palm.
Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and a small stone came in the air and smashed into Gu Qingcheng's wrist.
Gu Qingcheng had to withdraw his palm and dodge the flying stones. Looking in the direction where the stone was flying, a masked man dressed in black flew up and stood in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qingcheng has more murderous intentions in his eyes, and if the time drags on for a long time, the plan to assassinate the emperor will fail. So Cang Chang pulled out his sword, and a white light pierced the man in black like a practice.
With a wave of the long sleeve of the man in black's right hand, he actually wrapped Gu Qingcheng's sword, and his left hand volleyed a void split, and a palm wind slashed down towards Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng's sword couldn't be pulled out, and he also used his strength to wave his long sleeves to block.
With a soft "hiss", half of Gu Qingcheng's sleeves fell neatly to the ground as if they had been criticized by a treasure knife. He quickly retreated, shouted "go", and fled. Dongfang Duzun and another white-clothed masked man also followed.
Gu Qingcheng always thought that he was already invincible in the world, but he didn't expect that there were mountains outside the mountains, and there were people outside the people, but they couldn't resist the one and a half moves of this mysterious person.
The man in black didn't chase after him, but lowered his head and said to Zhao Mingyue, who was holding Ling Kun, "Give him to me, you can save your life." ”
Zhao Mingyue looked at Ling Kun who was dying, and nodded hurriedly, such a peerless master, there must be a way to save him.
The man in black took a deep look at her, grabbed Ling Kun's arm, flew up to the mausoleum, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
