Mu Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the pendant, and said, "Get wet, don't catch a cold, go back and rest!" With that, he got up and walked to the inner room.

Rong Xi was stunned quietly, he didn't look at her, and the words he said were to the amber pendant, or, to her?

Mu Ling was lying on the bed, thinking about the events of the previous days, the last time Yan Yuesheng made such a fuss, the emperor was already suspicious, although he didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but the Yan family's recent power has expanded too much, if it is not suppressed, his situation of balancing the court will be broken sooner or later, in order to consolidate his power, he can only take the Yan family first, as for who to kill and who to keep, it depends on his own decision.

The emperor asked him to find Yan Yezhi, and threatened to expose Yan Qingning's identity to force Yan Yezhi to comply, leaving a few juniors who were not low in status and ambitious, but fledgling for the emperor to better control, but if he didn't kill Yan Yezhi, Qingning would die, he said that he wanted to protect her, how could he let her die.

Mu Ling closed his eyes, and unconsciously appeared in his mind that the figure who was determined to leave was the figure, and he fell in love with such a woman, and he did it himself!

Qing Ning came all the way to the Imperial History Terrace, and every new official's office can choose some forbidden troops to guard, which is also the rule set by the emperor to protect civil officials, Qing Ning chose Lin Yu before.

General Lin is grateful to Qing Ning for ignoring his wife's false accusations, and for protecting the lives of the rest of his family under the emperor's edict to punish the nine clans, so he has been loyally guarding the Yushitai.

Today, Master Yan asked him to ...... with her Robbing the Dharma field, although it is a great rebellion, is also obligatory.

The continuous autumn rain has not stopped until now, and the outside of the law field in the west of Tiantou City, coupled with the cool rain, has raised a layer of white mist, adding a bit of solemn atmosphere to this place.

In the center of the court, next to the executioner kneeling a middle-aged man wearing shackles, unkempt, and covered with blood on his prison uniform, although he was embarrassed, the perseverance in his bones was still fully displayed, and he did not have the slightest hint of retreating from the impending death.

On the high platform, the cold air around Prime Minister Lou Cheng was one with this atmosphere, holding the killing order, waiting for the arrival of noon.

Under the stage, it was solemn, so calm that there was no wave, and even the sound of rain washing over the earth remained, and everything was as dead and silent as a mass grave, because this place was no different from a mass grave, and how many lives were buried.

Suddenly, a forbidden army reported in a hurry: "Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is not good, someone robbed the Dharma field, and someone robbed the Dharma field." ”

Suddenly, all the forbidden troops below were in an uproar, some of them were brought by Lou Xiao, all of them were combat experts, Lou Xiao looked at Qing Ning who had killed all the way below, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that today was not peaceful, but it was good, and the Yan family was wiped out.

Lou Xiao's forbidden army quickly went up to stop the people brought by Lin Yu, and more than a dozen forbidden troops surrounded Qing Ning, who had killed all the way up the high platform, and the red liquid on Qing Ning's soft sword gradually dripped down the blade, and it was impossible to tell how much rain and blood there was in it.

Her eyes kept staring at the direction of Yan Yezhi, and when she raised her hand, she sealed her throat with a sword, and the Tianyu sword move was fast and accurate. Before everyone could react, she stepped forward again, slashed the neck of a forbidden soldier with a sword, and took another step forward.

The forbidden army behind him is still countless, they have already killed all the people she brought over, and directly aimed the tassel gun at her heart, killing her at once, when the time comes, Lou Xiao can directly report the accidental injury of the forbidden army, without the Yan family, he wants to see what else the emperor Lao Tzu uses to balance him.

When he was about to stab into the woman's body, there was a sudden bang, and a sword shook away the tasseled spear, and the sword aura was pressing, so that the wave of forbidden troops retreated a few steps, and when they saw the person holding the sword, they all bowed their heads and did not dare to step forward.

And Mu Lingzhi took his Xuantie sword and stubbornly blocked it in front of Qing Ning.

Qing Ning looked at the man who stopped in front of her, stunned, and now she wants to destroy her last struggle?

Qing Ning looked at him, there was no emotion in her dark eyes, and her fingers gradually pressed on the hilt of the sword.

With a sound of "brush", the cold light on the sword suddenly appeared, coupled with the cold air emanating from the woman's body, and the sharp edge seemed to completely freeze this place.

She stared at the man in front of her, and her voice was extremely cold: "Mu Ling, if you don't stop me today, I will be very grateful to you." ”

"Then it seems that Lord Yan is going to hate me in the future." Mu Ling still spoke in an indifferent tone, raising his sword and preparing to fight.

In an instant, the two swords collided, and the fire flashed, adding a bit of weirdness to this cold rainy day, and between the confrontation between the swords, Qing Ning's hand suddenly moved, and the blade of the soft sword was retracted, and it quickly wrapped around Mu Ling's sword like a snake, making his sword qi unable to be used.

Mu Ling's eyes moved, and the sword in his hand quickly turned a few times in the direction of the soft sword's entanglement, untied her entanglement, and took advantage of the situation to throw her off the stage.

Qing Ning rolled several steps to stabilize himself, looked up at the man on the stage, got up again in the water, and ran towards the execution ground, but was once again pulled down by a bunch of forbidden soldiers who had no weapons in their hands.

"Ning'er, stop."

On the execution ground, the still majestic and upright voice came, Qing Ning raised his eyes to look at the people on the execution ground, and shouted: "Uncle Yan." ”

That shout, mixed with countless blood and tears, melted into this heavy rain, and in the whistling wind, it was particularly poignant.

"Good boy, everyone has their own belonging, their own path to take, their responsibilities, and their commitments to be fulfilled, this is my promise, child, don't be stupid for me, live well."

"Uncle Yan" Qingning's voice was much quieter, mixed with a little crying, and it was given to the only person in the world who cared for her like an elder.

"Noon has arrived, execution," Lou Xiao said and threw down the sign representing the killing order, and the sound resounded in the empty execution ground, which was particularly weird.

Yan Yezhi raised his head and looked at the sky, he seemed to be able to see Nian Liang, that Qingning's mother, the woman who was forcibly pulled by Emperor Daibei to be the queen, he closed his eyes, and silently recited the promise he made when he left Daibei in his heart, I would rather ruin my future and lose my life to protect this child, just for the promise I owed you at the beginning.

Nian Liang, I did it.

In an instant, blood flashed, and a life fell in this endless darkness, "Uncle Yan, don't! Qing Ning's voice echoed in the entire ethereal execution ground, it turned out that she had never been able to keep anyone, the queen mother, Ah Yu, and even Uncle Yan, she felt so weak and helpless for the first time, it turned out that if she couldn't reach the pinnacle of power, she would be slaughtered like this, and in the end, even the people she loved the most had to leave.

"Don't" Qing Ning cried out loud for the first time in front of everyone, tears and rain were running down her face, and she couldn't tell where the pain she clearly felt came from, whether it was her body or ...... Heart.

All the laughter that used to be was buried by this heavy rain, and in a few years, in a few days, people will live as usual, and who will remember the Shangshu Ling, who once opened countless voluntary workshops here, and how many people's hearts were buried in this rain......
