Chapter 293: A Strange Disappearance
?
Although Tuoba Ao is not a cultivator, as a child of the royal family, he is still quite proficient in fencing.
Therefore, as soon as the sword came out of the sheath, although it was not a stormy wave, the momentum was like a rainbow, but it was also murderous, and the sword blade that flashed cold and cold light stabbed directly into Liu Xi's throat.
The shot was quite ruthless.
This time, it gave Liu Xi a chance.
Liu Xi, who has thought about it many times, never thought that the opportunity would be so simple.
So when Tuoba Ao's long sword stabbed over, Liu Xi turned his body sideways without thinking, and at the same time grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, wrapped it one by one, and transferred it to Tuoba Ao's back, and the long sword that should have pierced Liu Xi's throat was also on Tuoba Ao's neck.
"Yusheng!"
Even if he had long thought that there would be such a scene today, Ma Xiu couldn't stop exclaiming when he saw that Liu Xi was really going to take Tuoba's life.
The look of struggle in the bloodshot eyes resurfaced.
At the same time, the captured Tuoba Ao smiled ruefully, without the slightest fear, and the corners of his mouth were full of disdain, "Kill me, can you get out alive?" ”
"You don't have to worry about whether you can get out alive."
Tuoba Ao, who was not flustered at all, heard Liu Xi's words, and his face immediately changed greatly, and he knew that Liu Xi was not joking.
Maybe this damn assassin and Ma Xiu were determined not to go back, but he Tuoba Ao was the emperor of Shu, how could he lose his noble life like this, so he hurriedly exported, "Tuoba Embroidery......"
But before he finished speaking, Tuoba Ao's mouth was covered by Liu Xi.
Later, Tuoba Ao only felt a chill on his neck, and then saw a touch of red splashing out.
It seemed to be his own blood.
Tuoba Ao, whose eyes were wide open, fell to the ground, clutching his throat and letting out a strange low sound, and it took a while for his convulsive body to regain his composure.
Dong Ge on the side was startled and was about to pull out his legs and run out, but was stopped by a bloody long sword.
The sword was stuck diagonally at his feet, and the scarlet blood was dripping down the cold light of the blade onto the luxurious carpet in the tent.
"General Dong, His Majesty the Emperor has an edict, as long as you can get lost in time and return, you will not be to blame for the past!"
Ma Xiu's words made Dong Ge, who was about to call someone, swallow his voice suddenly.
Everything came too fast just now, Dong Ge really didn't react, of course, from the bottom of his heart, he never thought that Ma Xiu and Liu Xi would take risks alone to assassinate Tuoba Ao.
Even more beautiful thought that the other party would do it under his nose, under the guard of the two masters outside the tent.
Now that Tuoba Ao is dead, everything has become a foregone conclusion, and the Ming Emperor's pardon oracle brought by all Ma Xiu naturally moved Dong Ge's heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Ge knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty the Emperor Xie for not killing him." ”
Those who know the times are Junjie.
Although Liu Xi didn't know much about this Dong Ge, the fact that the other party could regain his allegiance to Emperor Ming so quickly was enough to see that this person's vision of judging the situation was beyond ordinary people.
The reason why he didn't kill Dong Ge was because he was the commander of the soldiers who attacked Chongzhou City, and Liu Xi and Ma Xiu discussed two countermeasures before coming here.
The best strategy is to recruit Dong Ge, so as to solve the crisis of Chongzhou City, and second, to show that the Ming Emperor is magnanimous to those who follow Tuoba Ao to rebel.
Even Dong Ge, who led the army to attack His Majesty the Emperor, can be pardoned, and the rest of the people who are already snakes and rats will of course immediately make a choice and re-side in the camp of Emperor Ming, so as to calm down the rebellion as soon as possible.
If Dong Gela did not accept the surrender just now, it would be the next step and directly kill Dong Gela, so that the rebels would be even more leaderless, and Chongzhou City could defeat the rebels after a hard battle.
It's just that there are a lot of casualties.
Therefore, Dong Gela's submission is the situation that the two of them want to see the most.
In the blink of an eye, the situation inside the tent has changed drastically, but the two masters of the Yuan God who were guarding outside the tent did not move.
Perhaps they never expected that Liu Xi and the others would do something to kill Tuoba'ao.
So when he saw Liu Xi come out, he still had a pair of nostrils facing the sky, treating him as an ant who didn't want to take a look.
It's still like a god standing in the clouds.
But soon, the two of them regretted it, but Liu Xi didn't give them a chance to regret it, after kicking the tall man with his right foot, one of them swung back and smashed the short and fat man to death with a punch.
This kind of movement immediately attracted other people over, and the leader was the person Liu Xi wanted to see the most.
The enemy general who was arrogant and humiliated the horse embroidery in every way.
This person obviously hadn't noticed that something was wrong with the situation, so he stepped forward and smashed his fist towards the top of Liu Xi's head, as if he wanted to smash Liu Xi to the ground with a fist.
"Bang!"
Without waiting for Liu Xi to make a move, Ma Xiu on the side jumped out and slapped his chest with a palm.
Immediately, the armor fragments fluttered wildly, and the enemy general's body was like a bow shrimp, falling a few feet away, and he no longer moved.
Looking at the soldiers who were constantly surrounding, Ma Xiu looked around, "The rebellious minister Tuoba Ao has been killed, His Majesty the Emperor has a will, and those who are lost will not be held accountable, if you are still obsessed, you will end up like these people!" ”
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the killing machine was complete.
In particular, there were a few people lying on the ground covered in blood.
The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and they all seemed to hesitate.
At this moment, Dong Ge walked in front of everyone, "His Royal Highness Xiu is right, I waited for the rebellious ministers to be coerced by Tuoba Ao to do such a big rebellious thing, and now His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue it, what is there to hesitate, don't hurry up and thank Your Majesty for Longen!" ”
As he spoke, Dong Ge took the lead in kneeling down.
Seeing this scene, countless soldiers who were already frightened in their hearts dropped their weapons one after another and bowed down to Ma Xiu.
The hanging heart can finally be let go a little.
But Liu Xi didn't dare to slack off, because he still saw those hidden masters.
It's really weird.
Although it is difficult to understand, but without bloody battles, it is exactly what Liu Xi cannot ask for.
After Ma Xiu pacified the rebels, he collected Tuoba Ao's corpse, and on the one hand, he sent people to deliver a letter to the city, and on the other hand, he summoned Dong Ge into the tent, "Does the general know the whereabouts of those cultivators?" ”
Obviously, Ma Xiu is also worried about those masters who suddenly disappeared.
Hearing this, Dong Ge shook his head again and again, "Where those people came from and where they went, the last general didn't know, the only thing he knew was that they had some kind of agreement with Tuoba Ao, so they came with the army." ”
In this way, only Tuoba Ao, who had died under Liu Xi's sword, knew the truth of the matter.
Liu Xi, who frowned slightly, suddenly remembered that when he assassinated Dong Ge that night, the other party disappeared in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but ask casually, "Where did the treasure weapon on the general's body that can transform Fang Yuan between breaths come from?" ”
Dong Ge paused slightly, and then said with a smile in a rather blunt Central Plains dialect, "It's something handed down by a certain ancestor, and it seems to have something to do with Panlongding." ”
Beaulieu Top?
When Liu Xi was a little puzzled, Ma Xiu coughed lightly, "Yusheng, Panlongding is the residence of the once heavenly people. ”
Sure enough, it is still related to heaven and man.
Knowing that he couldn't ask why, Ma Xiu asked Dong Ge to retreat for the time being, so as to rectify the situation and prevent the soldiers from mutiny, so as to regenerate chaos.
After waiting for half an hour, the person Liu Xi and the others were waiting for to take over the rebel camp turned out to be Wei He.
However, according to the current situation, only Wei He can really clean up this mess among the people available to Emperor Ming now.
But Wei He came with a worried look on his face.
When asked to understand, it was shocking that Liu Xi and Ma Xiu were in a cold sweat.
The father of Wei He, the master of the Void Breaking Realm, has also lost his trace inexplicably!
Liu Xi and the others looked at each other, but they didn't know what happened, what kind of person could make many unbeatable, and even groundbreaking masters disappear mysteriously.
Wei He, who sighed deeply, looked into the distance with his eyes stunned, and sighed helplessly for a long time, "Once you enter the storm, Panlong will travel to Kyushu." ”
"I'm afraid my father has something to do with Panlongding this time."
When this sentence came out, Liu Xi vaguely felt that something big was about to happen, and when he turned his head, he saw Ma Xiu's eyebrows twisted together, and it seemed that he had thought of something with himself.
The disappearance of the miscellaneous family is also related to the celestial people of Panlongding.
For a while, both of them didn't know how to speak, but Wei He sighed, full of worry.
Although he was worried, Wei He still dutifully took over the rebels, and at this time, his ability to govern Chongzhou for many years was revealed, and various things were carried out in an orderly manner.
Therefore, Ma Xiu was able to get out and return to the city with Liu Xi.
Naturally, Ma Xiu, who had a pure heart, hugged Tuoba Ao, who was already cold, and his face was a little sad.
Therefore, when entering the city, no soldier dared to step forward and say half a word, even if Xiao Wu came forward, he just followed silently.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, at the vermilion gate, Ma Xiu suddenly knelt on his knees.
Xiao Wu wanted to step forward to support him, but was stopped by Liu Xi, at this time, he needed to give Ma Xiu, who had been suppressed for a long time, a chance to release.
When the guard at the door saw this, he was already frightened and overwhelmed, but fortunately, the man with the organic spirit came back to his senses in time and trotted into the mansion.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard again.
The figure of Emperor Tuoba Yingqi of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of everyone.
I couldn't tell whether it was sad or happy on the pale face, but the eyes were red and swollen and scary.
When he stepped over the threshold of inches high, Tuoba Yingqi almost tripped and stumbled, but Princess Yuzhu, who followed closely behind, supported him.
I already knew the ending, but I was still distressed.
Sighing deeply, looking at the face that was already closed in Ma Xiu, Tuoba Yingqi even hated why he was the emperor of Shu.
A long sigh made the spring breeze bleak, and when I heard it in people's ears, it was like being in the cold wind of a hundred flowers.
At this time, Emperor Ming only felt that his chest was blocked in panic, his throat was salty, and his grief finally turned into remorse.
If it weren't for this hated throne, he would be enjoying the joy of ordinary people at the moment, and his children and grandchildren would be happy, happy, not very happy.
"Get up, it's over, let him be buried in the ground."
After saying this, Emperor Ming took a deep look at Tuoba Ao, whose face had turned pale, and then turned around and walked towards the mansion with a somewhat staggering step.
Ma Xiu, who was kneeling behind him, leaned down and bowed, and had given his orders.
