Chapter 148. Winning
"Come here!"
Seeing that I didn't move, Ling Niankong called again.
I stared at him, still not moving, but I didn't want him to raise his hand and put the sword on the side of Ah Ran's neck!
"Don't force me to ......" Ling Niankong glared at me and gritted his teeth.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu immediately pulled out the soft sword hidden in his waist, blocked Ling Niankong's sword, and confronted it.
At the same time, Ah Ran forcefully pulled me behind him, and did not forget to signal me in one direction with his eyes.
I immediately understood:
Ling Niankong and Yue Xiongqi should have been opposites, but after listening to Liu Shangyu's words, even if Ling Niankong would doubt its authenticity, he should not do anything to Yue Xiongqi for the time being.
If this continues, the two may join forces against their common enemy, the North Departure.
If that's the case, the outside is almost full of Ling Niankong and Yue Xiongqi's people, and if they all rush in, Ah Ran and I are afraid that we won't be able to get out of here.
But if you find a way to keep those soldiers out, maybe there will be a turnaround.
It is impossible for Ah Ran to enter this palace without making any arrangements, maybe it will take a while to leave the army in the north.
As for how to block the soldiers outside, it was obviously impossible for me, Ah Ran, and Zhu Yu alone, so the direction that Ah Ran signaled to me was the dragon chair.
I have known the mystery of the dragon chair of the Zichen Hall since I was a child, but only the blood of the Yan Clan Heavenly Son can activate the ban, will my blood work?
I looked at Ah Ran, who was still in a stalemate with Ling Niankong, and then at the others in the hall.
Their attention was not on the side of the dragon chair, and even Chenglu, who had originally served on the jade steps, was now standing behind Yue Xiongqi. And my position was not far from the dragon chair, so I quietly approached it.
I climbed the jade steps, came to the dragon chair, plucked a hairpin from my head, and stabbed my fingertips, and blood beads suddenly appeared.
I hurriedly squeezed it again to let the blood flow out more, and then lowered my hand and dripped the blood onto the arm of the dragon chair.
The armrests of the dragon chair are made of jade and engraved with dragon patterns. My blood dripped up, and in an instant it flowed into the sunken dragon pattern.
It seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then there was a thunderbolt in the air!
The sky darkened for a moment. I could clearly see a bolt of lightning coming down from above, as if it was blocked by something in the air, splitting into two paths and sliding down the arc.
Then the surroundings lit up, and a dome glowing with purple fluorescence shone on the Zichen Palace!
The movement was so loud that everyone in the hall noticed it, and it was a violent earthquake.
Someone tentatively walked to the door of the temple, reached out and touched the purple barrier, and found that it was impregnable, and could not get out at all.
Outside the palace, among the soldiers who were fighting, some people found something unusual, went to the temple gate to investigate, and found that with this barrier, people outside the palace could not enter.
The few people in the hall came back to their senses and looked back at me, who was still standing next to the dragon chair.
I stuck the hairpin in my head, pulled out my handkerchief, and wrapped my bloodied fingers.
"You...... Who are you?! This ban can be activated! ”
Chenglu pointed at me, incredulous.
In fact, to be honest, I don't really believe that I can activate this ban, after all, Ah Ran is the son of heaven.
Yue Xiongqi squinted at me for a long time, and suddenly sighed as if he realized:
"It turns out that the legendary chosen son is actually a woman......"
Everyone was stunned, and when they came up in the back, they were surprised, and when they were stunned.
Master said that the Chosen Son was originally the emperor's order, so if there was anyone in this world other than Ah Ran who could activate this prohibition, I am afraid it would only be me.
Ah Ran smiled lightly, and stepped up the jade steps to stand beside me.
"Your Majesty guessed correctly, this is my sister, my eldest princess Yan Zhaoran, is also the chosen son in everyone's mouth."
Although the voice of every word Ah Ran said was soft, it was a little deafening to echo in this hall.
"My sister and I are born from the same mother, and because of their special status, they have been coveted by various forces since the day they were born. The emperor could only live in a palace and concealed his identity as a woman.
When Zhaoran was seven years old, due to the national change, he was taken to Shengjing by Leng Yihan in the midst of a mistake.
Leng Yihan was unpredictable, so that Zhaoran pretended to be his deceased daughter Leng Qingqian. If you don't know what's going on, you'll be surprised. ”
After speaking, Ah Ran stepped down the jade steps, and I followed him down.
The first person in the hall to react was the general of the Wumeng Kingdom.
His eyes flashed with a strange light, and as he approached, he opened his mouth to speak, but halfway was blocked by the blade of the sword across his chest.
The general's face was immediately full of anger, and he followed the sword towards the man who drew it. I also followed the man's line of sight, and saw Ling Niankong's face pale.
Ling Niankong looked at me and asked in a trembling voice, "What he said is true?" ”
I didn't answer, I just looked at him.
He suddenly laughed. "How so? How so!? ”
He repeated the phrase, his tail trembling.
The Umeng generals were already furious.
"Ling Niankong, what are you doing?!
Have you forgotten that you and I can't make a deal?
The Emperor of the North and the Chosen One are here, and they don't do it yet!? ”
Ling Niankong put away his sword when he heard this.
My heart sank:
Ling Niankong was afraid that he had originally planned to help Wumeng annex Nanli and continue to attack Beili to the north. And now is an excellent opportunity for him to take revenge, and he should not let it go easily.
The rain is also clear, and the whole person is in front of me and Ah Ran.
But he didn't want Ling Niankong to put away the sword as soon as he put it away, but his wrist was forceful, and he stabbed the sword into the chest of the Wumeng general!
The general was caught off guard, and before he could even utter half a word, he fell to the ground.
About half of the more than ten soldiers who came in with Ling Niankong were Wumeng people, and when they saw that the commander was killed, their eyes were full of blood, and they drew their swords one after another.
The other half of them were Ling Niankong's subordinates, and they did not hesitate to meet them when they saw this.
Between the swords and swords, the Wumeng sergeants all fell to the ground. Ling Niankong and his subordinates stepped forward and knelt down on one knee. "General!"
Ling Niankong said in a cold voice: "Order: Go all out to kill Sergeant Wumeng." ”
"Yes!"
At the beginning of the order, the sound of the fighting outside suddenly became a few points higher, and it seemed to be even more tragic than Fang Cai.
My head was dizzy, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
It didn't take long for someone outside the hall to report: "General, there is an army coming from the north, and it is unstoppable!" ”
When Ling Niankong heard this, he sneered and glanced at Ah Ran.
Before he could reply to his subordinates, the prohibition that sealed the Zichen Hall suddenly flashed and disappeared.
I think that the ban was broken in the early years, and I am afraid that the support for so long has reached the limit.
Ling Niankong looked at the door of the temple where the barrier had been removed, then looked back at me, and walked away with his sword......
******
Ah Ran's army surrounded the palace half an hour later, but by this time Ling Niankong and Wumeng had already fought a fierce battle, both defeated, and heard that the Beili army was coming, and the two sides fought and retreated.
And Yue Xiongqi's people were beaten by the coalition forces of these two sides at the beginning, and they only had the word surrender left.
I don't know how long it took, Liuyun led his subordinates down to Ah Ran.
Ah Ran slowly spit out two words: "Qing Palace." ”
I suddenly felt a little out of breath, and I stepped out of the Zichen Hall by myself, walking out aimlessly.
Along the way, my eyes were full of blood, and the voices of shouting and urging were everywhere, but I knew in my heart: Ah Ran has won.
I climbed up to a high pavilion overlooking the entire palace.
Fifteen years, Ah Ran spent fifteen years to accomplish the two things he wanted to accomplish most in his life: to find me, and to restore the country.
Although we have only recaptured Shengjing now, it is impossible for Ling Niankong and Wumeng to succeed on their own. Yue Xiongqi's army is no match for the Beili army with a sword in hand, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers.
But why didn't I feel as happy as I imagined?
Thinking of the back of Ling Niankong when he turned to leave, my internal organs were all miserable.
Why did he suddenly change his mind and turn on the Allies?
Didn't he know that such a move would drive him to a dead end?
Ah Ran will not let him go, and Wumeng will not spare him if he is betrayed.
He is under attack from the forces of the north and the south, and sooner or later he will fall into the hands of one of them!
And if he hadn't changed his mind, then it would be their coalition forces that would control the entire Shengjing now.
In this way, he not only vented his anger for his mother, but also avenged what he called "the hatred of the sky".
This is his consistent style of doing things, isn't it?
He has always been meticulously deployed, and strives to kill multiple birds with one stone.
But why did he make such a decision?
So desperate, so stupid......
