Chapter 37: Atonement with Blood
Seeing that Princess Changle was about to disappear, at this time, a figure miraculously blocked in front of Princess Changle, and in an instant, the sword entered her chest, and blood splashed everywhere. The man screamed heartbreakingly: "Li Hanyou! ”
Li Hanyou was originally very happy when the sword pierced the man's chest, but after seeing the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then heard the man's voice full of resentment, Li Hanyou shook her head in a panic, the hilt of the sword in her hand seemed to be like a hot soldering iron, she let go and was about to retreat, but under the gaze of those blood-red eyes, she actually felt that her legs were weak and weak, and at this moment, the man had already pulled out the sword on his body and swung the sword to slash. If it was in the past, this person's martial arts and swordsmanship were not as far as Li Hanyou's, and Li Hanyou could easily avoid it. But now Li Hanyou is in a state of panic, no matter what, she can't kill this person with her own hands, so just when Li Hanyou was in a trance, the sharp sword slashed across Li Hanyou's cheek, leaving a hideous wound that was deep and bone-deep. Li Hanyou came to her senses and quickly took a few steps back, avoiding the fate of having her head cut off, but the severe pain on her face and the worry of her face being ruined made her scream, covered her face and sat on the ground.
This change shocked everyone, including the Fengyi Sect Master, and suddenly one person shouted, "Qing'er." It was Qin Yi, the general of Fuyuan, who only felt that his brain was banging, and there was chaos, and there was only the beloved son with the sword in his chest in his eyes. He strode forward to support Qin Qing, but someone moved faster, and Princess Changle screamed sadly: "Brother Qing, you can't die!" She had already supported Qin Qing, but she was weak and weak, although she barely supported Qin Qing, but she was almost taken down by herself, fortunately, Qin Yi had already come over and hugged Qin Qing at this time. The two of them supported Qin Qing and let him slowly lie down on the imperial steps.
It turned out that the person who blocked Li Hanyou's sword was Qin Qing. Qin Qing was different from others, his eyes stayed on Li Hanyou from beginning to end, hating for a while, and remembering his former affection for a while, so Li Hanyou's abnormal behavior was only noticed by him. He had long had the will to die, and he knew that Li Hanyou's swordsmanship was above him, and if he blocked it with a weapon, he might not succeed, so he used his body to block the front of Princess Changle, and with a will to die, he actually surpassed the limit speed of the human body and successfully blocked the sword of death with his flesh and blood.
The sword entered his chest, and the hatred and anger that Qin Qingyu had knotted in his heart finally broke out completely, so he didn't care about the gap between the two people's martial arts, it was a sword that he had no extravagant hope of succeeding, but he successfully ruined Li Hanyou's appearance.
Li Hanyou was originally from a poor family, and he never liked those smoked spices, although in order to maintain the demeanor of the royal lord, he never showed it, but he always tried to stay away from the incense burner, and although this kind of free incense has a quiet aroma, I don't know why Li Hanyou just doesn't like this smell, but if the incense is not allowed, Li Hanyou is worried that she will lose face if it is known, so she deliberately goes outside to inspect or do something else, so although she is also poisoned, the toxicity is the lightest. After secretly taking some antidote to the poison of the incense that was not very symptomatic, he actually recovered his strength quickly, but at this time, the master of Fengyi had already arrived and was negotiating with Li Zhen. She was worried that the Fengyi Sect Master had left them, so she didn't get up in order to have the ability to resist.
But the more she listened, the more angry Li Hanyou became in her heart, Princess Changle passed the secret message in the front and poisoned it in the back, causing the glory and wealth she thought of in vain, if she didn't kill Princess Changle, her hatred would be difficult to eliminate. But after she reminded the master of Fengyi, she was ignored by the master of Fengyi, she was originally a high-minded and arrogant person, for a while, she was carried away with anger, and she actually took advantage of Princess Changle to pass by, and assassinated, she was determined to get this sword, but Qin Qing blocked this sword.
No matter how hard she is like a stone, Qin Qing is her husband, even if she has no true feelings for Qin Qing in her heart, but her reputation is at stake, and she definitely doesn't want to bear the charge of killing her husband with her own hands, in fact, she originally wanted to wait until the big thing is completed, and use her power to coerce Qin Qing to accept herself again, after all, Qin Qing is also a good candidate for a concubine. It's just that Qin Qing doesn't know how to lift, and if she wants to kill Qin Qing, it won't be her who will do it herself, so naturally someone will do it.
The guilt and shock of killing her husband coupled with her chaotic sanity, Li Hanyou actually forgot to dodge, and then he was slashed by Qin Qing.
This change made the atmosphere even more tense, everyone clenched their weapons, and the melee was about to break out.
At this time, the master of the Fengyi Sect felt that his qi and blood had calmed down, and said coldly: "Li Zhen, do you want to kill this seat?" ”
Li Zhen's body shook, word by word, and said through gritted teeth: "No one is allowed to move." Under Li Zhen's order, the bloody battle that was about to break out was forcibly suppressed. But the atmosphere in the hall was already breathing, and I didn't dare to breathe.
I looked at Qin Qing in a daze, opened my right hand, my right hand was already drenched in blood, when Princess Changle was assassinated, I could only watch, I forgot everything, and when I woke up, I realized that the nails of my right hand had pierced the palm. I struggled to stand up and said hurriedly, "Xiao Shunzi, help me over." ”
Xiao Shunzi walked over with a pale face, and helped me to Qin Qing's side, at this time Qin Qing was already unconscious, I knelt on the ground, stretched out my hand and put it on Qin Qing's wrist, after a while, I raised my head and saw the eyes of Princess Changle with tears, as well as Qin Yi's expectant gaze, and shook his head helplessly and lightly: "General Qin was stabbed by this sword and injured his heart and lungs, and he has no power to return to the sky, if the general allows, the lower official can use the golden needle puncture technique to let General Qin sober up for a while." ”
Qin Yi only felt as if his life was leaving him, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Please let the adults give the needle." ”
I sighed, took the hairpin of Xuantie Zhiying handed over by Xiao Shunzi, and gave a few injections, and after a while, Qin Qing coughed a few times and opened his eyes. Qin Yi's trembling hand stroked Qin Qing's face, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Qing'er, it's all bad for my father, I was busy fighting in the past, I didn't teach you well, and let you be deceived and played, and now it's-and-again-" He couldn't say any more.
Qin Qing's eyes were not resentful, but clear, and he said calmly: "Father, it is all children who are greedy for beauty, so that the emperor and father are almost in a desperate situation, now the child knows what was wrong yesterday, and today he will atone for his sins with death, please don't feel sorry for the child." He spoke very clearly, his face flushed, and everyone knew that he was now back in the light of day. Qin Yi was even more grief-stricken, but he didn't know what to say.
Qin Qing's eyes fell on Princess Changle and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Qin Qing and His Royal Highness were originally childhood sweethearts, but Qin Qing was dull, and he couldn't pay attention to the princess's hard work of sacrificing for the country and the people, but instead spoke harshly, no wonder the princess was disappointed in Qin Qing." ”
Princess Changle said softly: "Brother Qing, needless to say about the past, you are still the former Qing brother of this palace, although Changle has complained about you, but you don't remember the old hatred, save my life, Changle doesn't know how to thank you, Brother Qing, if there is anything unfinished, just tell Changle is." ”
Qin Qing's eyes were a little gloomy, and he said: "Your Highness, Qin Qing is incompetent and derelict in his duties, and he has brought disaster to the family, begging the princess to be loyal to her father, and begging the emperor and His Royal Highness King Yong not to blame the Qin family for Qin Qing." ”
Princess Changle hid her face and said, "Brother Qing, rest assured, this palace will definitely intercede with my father and brother." ”
At this time, Li Yuan replied: "Qin Qing, you saved my beloved daughter, and if it weren't for the merit of your Qin family, you wouldn't have been able to quell the rebellion so quickly, I only have a reward for the Qin family, how can you blame, you don't have to worry." ”
Qin Qing's gaze fell on Li Zhen, the king of Yong, and Li Zhen said solemnly: "General Qin, this king swears here, he will never sin the Qin family for no reason, General Qin Yong saved the life of this king, the old general is brave and loyal, you saved the imperial sister again, this king is very grateful in his heart, and he will never take revenge." ”
Qin Qing was relieved at this time, reached out to hold Jiang Zhe's hand, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, I, Qin Qing, used to look down on you, but today I am convinced of you, Her Royal Highness the princess has a pitiful situation, you can't bear her, don't hesitate because of the name and etiquette." "Speaking of which, it is already very low, and I am afraid that few people can hear it except me."
My heart was sour, although I had always known Li Hanyou's true face, but I never thought of reminding Qin Qing, I watched Qin Qing fall deeper and deeper step by step, and said apologetically: "General Qin, don't worry, I am sincere to the princess, and I will never let her down, as long as Jiang Zhe is alive, I will not let the Qin family suffer a catastrophe." ”
Qin Qing listened to my whispered promise, a pleased smile appeared on his face, glanced at his father again, and said, "Father, the child is farewell." As soon as the words fell, Qin Qing had already closed his eyes, his breath gradually weakened, and in an instant, he had already gone to Huangquan.
Qin Yi shouted sadly: "Qing'er! The cry of grief mixed with Li Han's miserable cry spread far and wide.
With anger in his eyes, Li Zhen said coldly: "Door master, Li Hanyou is killing people at this time, if you let her go, it will be too much to say." Please ask the master of the door to hand over Li Hanyou to the king for disposal. ”
The Fengyi Sect Master was silent for a while, and said: "She killed Qin Qing, since Princess Changle is fine, you can't keep her, but how to hunt down and kill in the future is your business." ”
Li Zhen was a little hesitant, if he let Li Hanyou go like this, he would be so sorry for the Qin family, although Qin Qing made a mistake this time, it was the Qin family who saved the driver. At this time, Qin Yi, who was holding his son's corpse, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't take care of the old minister, Your Majesty's safety is important, let Li Hanyou go first, take revenge in the future, and the future will be long." His voice was full of sorrow and sorrow.
Li Zhen glanced at Jiang Zhe hesitantly, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please don't live up to the general's wishes." Li Zhen sighed and stopped talking.
The master of Fengyi Gate pointed out from afar, Li Hanyou fell to the ground, and he had already fainted, Xiao Lan came over to take the antidote from Xiao Shunzi's hand and gave it to the people in Fengyi Gate one by one. It didn't take long for the men to move, but just in case, their weapons were taken away. The master of the Fengyi Gate said coldly: "You first go to the place arranged in advance to meet in this seat, where this seat has left a warrant, you just act according to it, if this seat can no longer be in charge of the Fengyi Gate, Ling Yu will be the master of the door, Wei Ying will be the guest secretary in the door, Ji Xia will be the law enforcement elder, Senior Sister Ji, tell Ling Yu that the three of you must work together and not compete for power with each other." ”
Everyone in Fengyi Gate saluted solemnly and said, "Obey the order of the master of the door." Then Ji Xia walked out first.
Wei Ying and Feng Feifei followed behind Ji Xia, and the two female swordsmen of Fengyi Sect followed with Li Hanyou. Xiao Lan was about to follow, but Li An, who had been slumping on the ground, suddenly grabbed Xiao Lan and said, "Concubine Ai, take Gu with you." ”
Xiao Lan hesitated slightly, looked up at the master of Fengyi, the master of Fengyi shook his head coldly, Xiao Lan lowered his head and looked at Li An, now Li An has no trace of royal bearing, Xiao Lan felt disgust in her heart, kicked Li An away, easily got out, and walked out of the hall. Li An suddenly snot and tears flowed down his nose in pain. Li Zhen frowned, waved his hand, and several guards stepped forward to drag Li An aside, so as not to embarrass him again.
At this time, Qin Zheng had already bowed her head and walked towards the palace gate, she couldn't help but go, as a rebel, if she didn't go, there was only a dead end, but she was worried in her heart, because without the warrant of King Qi, it was impossible to mobilize the army of King Qi to launch an attack on King Yong's army, so she cooperated with the same door to force King Qi to write a handwritten warrant, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, it was her father Qin Wuji who finally sent the warrant. But now it is obvious that King Qi is not sincere, otherwise Jiang Zhe would not hide in King Qi, then there must be something wrong with that warrant, I am afraid that his father has also been placed under house arrest by King Qi's men, if he rushes to King Qi's army now, although it is impossible to command them to save the overall situation, it is still very promising to rescue his father. The kindness of husband and wife is as thin as a blank sheet of paper, and it is impossible for the beloved son to be rescued in the capital, so he can only hope to rescue his father, at such a moment, Qin Zheng is even more reluctant to lose the only remaining relatives in this world.
After walking a few steps, Qin Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look, and after seeing the heavy sword, Li Xian, the king of Qi, stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was calm, and he looked at Qin Zheng fixedly, his eyes were full of relief and joy. Qin Zheng's heart was shocked, knowing that Li Xian was happy that she could escape, thinking that because of her actions, the future of King Qi was bleak, and then thinking of Jiao'er in the palace of King Qi in Chang'an, she stopped. Seeing this, King Qi suddenly turned his face sideways and no longer looked at Qin Zheng, but Qin Zheng saw that his body was trembling, and he obviously didn't want to stay because he was worried about his husband.
Qin Zheng was at a loss in her heart, thinking of the female rules she had read since she was a child, which said that she would marry and obey her husband, which was originally a sentence she disdained very much, but now she really understands the true meaning of this sentence, if husband and wife can't work together, then there will only be pain and disputes, thinking of the queen mother and Ji Guifei's current sorrow, thinking of the eldest grandson Guifei and Yan Guifei standing in front of Li Yuan regardless of life and death, and thinking of Qin Qing who died under Li Han's sword. Qin Zheng finally stopped, her eyes fell on Li Xian stupidly, although this person brought a lot of pain to herself, but if she had not always refused to cut off contact with her teacher, how could it be so, even after she brought him such suffering, this person did not draw a line with herself, her husband is like this, what regret is her husband, at this moment, Qin Zheng really regrets not serving her husband wholeheartedly.
At this time, Xie Xiaotong turned around and called her, "Senior sister, hurry up." The master of the Fengyi Sect also frowned and said, "Zheng'er, what are you still hesitating about?" ”
Qin Zheng made up her mind in her heart, she turned around and bowed to the ground and said, "Master, please forgive the disciple for not being able to obey your orders." The master of Fengyi said coldly: "Zheng'er, you have always been confused, and I don't blame you for being a teacher, but now do you still have extravagant hopes and expect His Royal Highness King Qi to save your life?" ”
Qin Zheng also ignored the master of Fengyi, and said loudly: "Qin Zheng, as the princess of Dayong, does not know that he is loyal to the country, but commits rebellion; As a son of man, Qin Zheng can't advise his father on the way of loyalty and righteousness, causing his father to do inappropriate things for my daughter; As a wife, Qin Zheng does not know how to abide by women's morals, teach her husband and children, which is contrary to human ethics; As a mother, Qin Zheng doesn't know how to lead by example and be good at raising her children, which makes her children suffer from me. Father, second brother, prince has always been loyal to the court, although the prince and the sinner woman coerced and coerced in every way, they failed to mobilize the prince to recruit a soldier, please father and emperor, second emperor brother and generals Mingjian. Qin Zheng has done such disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous things, what kind of face does he have to live in the world, please ask my father to forgive the prince. ”
When Li Xian heard this, he shouted, "Zheng'er, you can't do stupid things. "I was about to come up to stop him, but there were many sergeant guards between the two, and Li Xian's internal strength had not recovered, he only had time to take a few steps, only to see that Qin Zheng had an extra golden hairpin in his hand at some point, and the sharp hairpin pointed to her throat, she smiled, that smile was so bright, it was a beautiful smile that she had never had since she married Li Xian, and then the golden light flashed, the golden hairpin cut her throat, blood burst out, and Qin Zheng had committed suicide. Li Xian only had time to rush over and hold Qin Zheng's delicate body in his arms, he panicked and used his hand to block the blood flowing out, but the blood was gushing like a spring, but where could he stop it. He cried out sadly: "Zheng'er, Zheng'er, you can't die, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't let them dominate your life." But Qin Zheng no longer breathed. Li Xian's gaze fell on the Fengyi Sect Master, full of infinite remorse and anger. Someone next to him was saying something, but he couldn't hear it, picked up his wife, and never looked at anyone again, he staggered out, and those who wanted to stop him saw the blood on the hem of his shirt and the eyes full of despair and grief, and they all silently retreated. Yongwang Li Zhen sighed lightly, waved his hand, and several cronies followed.
When King Qi's back disappeared, Li Zhen said lightly: "Fengyi Sect Master, are you satisfied, my father, son and brother have been sow discord between you, so that now, now that your disciples have left, please come to Bang Qiu Ju to live temporarily, within seven days, this king will never send someone to hunt down and kill your disciples, but the door master must also abide by his promise and not leave Qiu Bangju." ”
The master of Fengyi said lightly: "Even if there is no participation in this sect, can King Yong give up the throne, now the throne is within your reach, the prince is rebellious, and he is no longer qualified to ascend the throne as the emperor, and the king of Qi is also suspicious, from now on you can kill him at will or put him under house arrest, as for your father, I don't know if you want to force him to abdicate." ”
Li Zhen said coldly: "The door master doesn't have to worry too much, this is my royal business, if the door master is not at ease, at most this king will be the hostage of the door master." ”
The master of the Fengyi Sect glanced at the resentful gaze of the full hall, and was stunned for a while, and said slowly: "This seat has a promise first, and it is okay for Jiang Sima and His Royal Highness King Qi to be hostages, but I also want to make it clear that if His Royal Highness sends someone to hunt down my disciple, it will definitely not be able to hide it from this seat, and within seven days, if one person leaves the hunting palace, this seat will not give up." ”
Li Zhen didn't refute, his gaze fell on Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe's gaze was so cold and resolute, it was a gaze full of hatred and death, he nodded firmly, Li Zhen's heart moved, could it be that Jiang Zhe already had a way to achieve the goal of destroying all the Fengyi Gate, so he said indifferently: "This king agrees to this condition, the door master please." ”
