Chapter 19: The Man Behind the Scenes
This is the second time Wang Xiaoming has come to the palace, the last time he went in at night, so he didn't visit it properly, and this time it was the same, he was pushed directly into the palace by the soldiers, and he didn't go directly to the main hall, but made them kneel directly in the open space.
Wang Xiaoming was reluctant to kneel down for this group of people, and stood stunned, after those soldiers said a few times, there was no way to make Wang Xiaoming kneel, and an angry soldier was ready to draw his weapon and wanted to use force to make Wang Xiaoming kneel.
"Okay, let him stand if he wants to, I want to see if his head is gone, and he can still stand." The chief guard waved his hand to stop the violence.
"Ha, Qingming, it seems that they want our lives." Wang Xiaoming said to Abe Qingming.
"yes, it looks like I'm underestimating some people." Abe said lightly.
At this time, a group of people came over from the direction of the main hall, Wang Xiaoming took a look, they were all a group of people who had never met, and the leader was an old man with a gloomy face, and beside him was an onmyoji wearing a red hunting suit.
"It turned out to be him. The killer has finally been found. Abe Harumi said in a low voice.
Before Wang Xiaoming could hear this sentence clearly, the old guy had already walked up to them, directly and loudly announced Abe Qingming's 'sins', and then after pretending to say something, he asked the guards to kill Abe Qingming and his accomplices.
"Heiankyo is such a strange place." Abe Harumi heard that the other party wanted to kill him directly, and he didn't continue to watch, and the world used a spell to untie the rope that tied him, stood up and said.
"Ah, he~~ how could he?" The guards looked at Abe with horror on their faces.
"Your Excellency, if you don't welcome me Abe Harumi, you can just say it, and I don't have to live in Heiankyo." Abe Harumaki glanced at Fujimura, and then said to the right minister.
The right minister was really speechless by Abe Qingming, Abe Qingming came to Qingyin's side to help the other party untie the rope, and Wang Xiaoming directly broke the rope, after all, he already has three chapters of knight cards, and he no longer belongs to the scope of ordinary human beings.
"Ah, youkai." Seeing that the three of Abe Harumi untied the rope so easily, the guards were surprised for a while, and some even shouted out in horror.
Abe Harumi did not continue to care about these people, but said to Qingyin: "Do you want to leave?" Let's go, don't live in this kind of place! ”
Wang Xiaoming saw that Abe Qingming seemed to be angry, he glanced at the stunned right minister, sneered and prepared to leave.
"Hurry ~~~ cut them down for me! Chopped !! Seeing Wang Xiaoming and Abe Qingming's expressions, the right minister didn't take this powerful person in his eyes at all, and angrily directly ordered Abe Qingming to be executed.
Just as Wang Xiaoming was about to fight, Minister Zuo slowly walked out from outside, stopped the chief of the guard, and then looked at the Minister Right and said lightly: "Minister Right, are you going to execute the royal onmyoji without authorization?" ”
The right minister had no way to say anything after hearing this, after all, according to the law, the onmyoji belonged to the imperial family, and any order to punish the onmyoji needed to be issued by the emperor himself, and he was indeed overstepping his authority just now, although everyone usually overstepped his authority, but it was not a good thing to be discovered by his rival, so the right minister left in a hurry.
"Qingming, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Minister Zuo smiled apologetically at Abe Qingming, of course he knew why Abe Harumi offended the right minister, and he also knew why the right minister wanted to kill Abe Qingming so much, but it was a pity that this incident would not become evidence of a direct attack on the right minister.
Abe Qingming nodded slightly, but did not speak, and it could be seen that he was indeed a little angry. Minister Zuo didn't say much, after all, his status was there, and it was rare to be able to apologize, so he smiled at Abe Qingming and Wang Xiaoming, turned around and left.
"Ah, that's great, fortunately, Minister Zuo came quickly." Yuan Boya, who had been dealing with the right minister before, came to Abe Harumaki's side and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Boya, if you hadn't called Minister Zuo, maybe things would have been different today." Abe Harumi said with a smile.
"I didn't do anything either." Yuan Boya scratched his head and smiled.
Wang Xiaoming smiled, and then helped Abe Qingming to help Qingyin up, and then prepared to leave the palace, but at this time, he suddenly saw a person running over like crazy, wanting to kill Yuan Boya.
Wang Xiaoming directly kicked the sneak attack guy away, and then was entangled by another guy, and at this time, I don't know who shot the arrow, and shot directly at Yuan Boya, who was next to Abe Harumaki, and then was blocked by Qingyin with his body.
This sudden chaos stunned everyone, and when Wang Xiaoming reached the attacker, he found that Qingyin seemed to have been hit in the chest by an arrow and died. Although he knew that Qingyin was an immortal person, this moment still made Wang Xiaoming angry, and he looked directly at Fujimura, who was sitting there watching the play.
"Heiankyo is such a strange place." Fujimura seemed to sense Wang Xiaoming's gaze, smiled at him and said what Abe Harumaki had said before.
"You~" Wang Xiaoming was just about to say something, but was stopped by Abe Qingming.
And those soldiers who were cursed by Fujimura had already been killed by the chief of the guard, and now it was completely unproven, Abe Qingming glanced at the proud Fujimura, sneered and asked Yuan Boya and Wang Xiaoming to help take Qingyin's body out of the palace.
Abe Harumi and the others did not return home, but came to the vicinity of the woods where they saw Qingyin for the first time, Gen Boya looked at the ox cart with a sad face, while Abe Harumi sat quietly on the side, watching the sunset.
"Why didn't you let me kill that guy just now?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Abe Qingming and asked.
"Although I know that your strength is very powerful, it is irrational to kill an Onmyoji for no reason, and you are also the Dao Venerable of Yin-Yang Village." Abe Harumi shook his head and said.
"Do you want that guy to continue to kill people?" Wang Xiaoming said with some resentment.
"It doesn't matter if he harms me or not, but he really wants to avenge his revenge for killing Qinyin." Abe Harumi said in a deep voice.
"Why didn't you tell him that Qingyin was fine?" Wang Xiaoming had no way to refute what he said, and then heard Yuan Boya's crying voice, and said a little strangely.
"Don't you think Boya is a funny person?" Abe Harumi said with a smile.
"You, really." Wang Xiaoming was a little speechless, this guy completely treats Yuan Boya as a toy, teasing him at every turn and watching the play quietly.
