When.

The palace gate was wide open, the commander of the Praetorian Guard was in front, Jin Lifu was on horseback, and the honor guard and casual hundred officials behind were dozens of feet away. Because it is the Lantern Festival, the capital is very lively, even if some people don't like Jin Lifu, they will still crowd into the street to join in the fun, and follow the team all the way to the place of worship three miles east of the capital.

There is also a palace near Sanlidi, which is heavily guarded, so that the lord can rest in peace. There is a small market not far from the palace, but it is very popular for festivals that require sacrifices.

The altar is set up in a wide area and is built very high. Below can not only stand hundreds of officials, but also leave more than 1,000 people to kneel and worship together. At that time, the incumbent needs to step on the eighty-one steps to reach the upper platform, and after bowing to the sky and the earth, he can accept the bow of the hundred officials and the people, and this sacrifice and prayer will be completed.

Jin Lifu got off his horse, looked at the high platform in front of him, and asked the commander of the forbidden army beside him. "Everything is arranged?"

"It's all arranged."

Jin Lifu squinted his eyes and looked around, "When the time comes, there will be chaos, that woman's life must be kept first, and I will kill it after I have played." ”

The Praetorian Guard Commander frowned imperceptibly, "Yes." ”

Qing'an and the others who were hidden among the people were gearing up, staring at Jin Lifu's figure with their two eyes, and when he walked up to the altar, they would kill him in one fell swoop.

They are all martial arts practitioners, and anyone can see that the forehead exposed under Jin Lifu's crown seems to have traces of yarn entanglement, and the faint traces of light blood on the yarn are faintly revealed.

Jin Lifu was injured?

The people who followed Qing'an told Qing'an about it, and Qing'an looked at the figure under the altar and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's a person who is going to die anyway." ”

Princess Suzu was standing beside Qing'an, her palms covered with wet cold sweat. She glanced at the crowd, but didn't see Yun Zhao, so she asked more.

"Why don't you see Yun Zhao?"

Qing'an furrowed his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling like something was missing. At this time, when I heard Princess Ling's words, I remembered that I hadn't seen Yun Zhao's figure since the morning.

"She's not a disproportionate person, don't worry about her."

Princess Suzu pursed her lips and stopped talking.

At this time, someone suddenly came to Jin Lifu's ear and said something, only to see Jin Lifu's expression change greatly, and after suddenly sweeping the people who lowered his head, he suddenly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled extremely sinister and terrifying.

Qing An chuckled in his heart, only to feel that the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, someone came over silently, put one hand on his shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: "Even if you sense that something is wrong, Childe still has to do this?" ”

Qing'an looked back and saw that it was Tang Qi.

"What's the matter?"

Tang Qi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was heavy. "Everything is going too well, so my subordinates feel that something must be wrong."

Qing'an snorted coldly and shook Tang Qi's hand on his shoulder aside. "Yu Chong asked you to come over and talk about this? He knew I was going to him, so he thought he wanted you to come and persuade me? Tang Qi, it doesn't matter if you are loyal to him, but you have to see clearly, I am your master! ”

Tang Qi lowered his eyes and sighed. Yu Chong is right, Qing'an is desperate, and it is not easy for anyone to speak.

Jin Lifu looked down just now, and it was clear that there was a problem, and it would be best if it could be done for a while, in case of defeat, their people would definitely have to evacuate safely.

As the horn music of the sacrifice sounded, Jin Lifu began to walk towards the altar step by step, but at the foot of the altar, the commander of the Praetorian Guard suddenly brought a woman up. This woman is dressed luxuriously, but she looks a little strange when she walks, as if she has been pointed at acupuncture points and pushed to walk. Jin Lifu grabbed the woman to his side, grabbed her waist affectionately, and led her to the altar step by step.

In the past, when he sacrificed and prayed for blessings, Jin Lifu also brought his favorite concubine to sacrifice together, but even the favored concubine never brought it directly to the altar. Today, for the first time.

All the officials began to talk in a low voice, and they really hadn't seen the lady of this palace. Since he can be brought to this kind of occasion, it must be different in Jin Lifu's heart. The back seat has been empty for many years, and it is time to have a serious master. Everyone is thinking about whether they have to get some gifts to stammer after the Lantern Festival.

The woman's makeup was just right, and the black bun hung down on both sides of her cheeks to cover her appearance, and the people below could not see it from the front, at most they could only see a delicate and lovely nose tip and snow-white but ruddy skin from the side, as for her appearance, it is really unknown.

When he reached the fiftieth step, Jin Lifu suddenly stopped.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and even the officials couldn't understand it. The number of 9981 is set on this altar, which symbolizes that the reigning lord of the country will overcome all dangers and move forward step by step towards abundance. In order to be auspicious, the reigning lord must not stop unless he is old and dizzy.

Qing'an and the others' hearts suddenly rose, for fear of a change.

However, it was only for a short while, and Jin Lifu hugged her again and began to leave. Qing'an and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a lot of gunpowder had already been placed under the altar, as long as he stood still on the altar and touched the mechanism, the gunpowder would automatically detonate.

Even if there is a mistake in the organ, these dozens of people brought by Qing'an can kill a bloody way, and they are bound to kill Jin Lifu today!

Qing'an and the others were in the crowd of people, and they couldn't see the overall situation. But Yu Chong, who had been hiding high in the morning, had already noticed that something was wrong. From the moment Jin Lifu paused on the steps, someone in the crowd began to squeeze in. It's okay to have one or two places, but there are people in every direction who have started ghostly actions.

Yu Chong's face sank, and Jin Lifu began to act. He quickly found Qing'an's location at a high place, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he had already blended into the crowd, and quietly approached Qing'an.

Because Yu Chong greeted in advance, Tang Qi gave more orders in private, so it didn't take long for someone to notice that something was wrong, and they had to withdraw first after looking at each other, but they didn't expect that they hadn't moved much, and the ordinary people around them made the first move. Tang Qi and the others were shocked, and later realized that most of the people today were pretending to be Jin Lifu's people!

Qing'an's face changed suddenly, and the whole person was stunned in place. Princess Suzu screamed, clutching his arm tightly. The strength was too great, and the nails went directly into his flesh, and the pain made him suddenly wake up.

He glanced around, and his heart instantly cooled.

They were already besieged inside, and they were surrounded by danger. It turns out that today is not a good opportunity to kill Jin Lifu, but a good day for them to come and die!

Fortunately, Qing'an was surrounded by his own people, and when the crowd was chaotic, Yu Chong just happened to squeeze to his side. Several subordinates next to him recognized Yu Chong, and their hearts were even more raised, and they didn't dare to look directly at Yu Chong's gaze, so they could only raise their swords to resist the enemy's attack.

"I'll take him away, and you will break off."

After that, Yu Chong directly grabbed Qing'an and was about to leave. Princess Ling clung to Qing'an, but her eyes were looking at Yu Chong. "Don't leave me, don't leave me!"

Qing'an woke up from his confusion and pulled back Yu Chong's hand. "I am the future monarch, sooner or later there will be such a battle, I am happy to die here and will never escape."

Yu Chong's face had turned black into ink, and his expression became more and more cold. He grabbed Qing'an again, and he couldn't help but take him away.

"Second Master Yu, don't be in a hurry to leave, don't you care about your woman?"

Jin Lifu had already ascended the altar and stood at the entrance of the stairs looking high in their direction. He grabbed the woman he had brought to the altar with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, revealing her face so that everyone under the altar could see it clearly.

Yu Chongxun looked for prestige and recognized her at a glance. My heart was suffocated, and her name was already shouted out of my mouth.

"Qing'er!"

Princess Suzu looked at the altar and saw a face that was exactly the same as herself. She was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curved unconcealedly.

Tong Yuqing!

"You just want me, let her go." Yu Chong let go of Qing'an, and didn't feel that he had taken two steps towards the altar.

Princess Ling grabbed Qing'an tightly, and said in his ear seemingly unintentionally: "In order to save Tong Yuqing, will Yu Chong give away your life?" ”

Qing'an suddenly changed his face and slapped her fiercely. "Shut up for me."

Jin Lifu suddenly laughed, he directly pushed Tong Yuqing's body to the staircase again, and said loudly: "If you kneel down here for me step by step, I may be able to bypass her." Otherwise, it would be difficult to ensure that my hand shook, and she would fall down like this. Eighty-one order, I don't know if her head will be broken directly if she falls? ”

When Tang Qi and the others heard this, they shouted in unison: "Second master, no!" ”

Yu Chong clenched his fists, and his cold eyes suppressed the monstrous anger.

"It looks like I'm not ruthless enough."

Jin Lifu took a dagger out of nowhere and put it across Tong Yuqing's neck, just like this, there was already a blood mark on Tong Yuqing's neck, and the blood reflected her skin even whiter.

This scene was like a needle stabbing Yu Chong's heart, he let go of his clenched fists and subconsciously moved his feet. I don't know what he saw, and his black eyes trembled. He clenched his fists again, his lips pursed into a straight line.

"Qing'an is my own nephew of Jin Lifu after all, and I will definitely not treat him badly. Now I just want you to have an attitude towards Second Master Yu, who will you choose for this country and beauty? ”

Jin Lifu moved the dagger in his hand again, and then pushed Tong Yuqing's body forward twice.

Yu Chong's whole person also shook twice with Tong Yuqing's body, and the nervous look made Princess Ling grind her teeth and grit her teeth.

At this time, Tong Yuqing, who was controlled by Jin Lifu under the dagger on the altar, suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder on his face, and his palm slapped directly on the wound on his forehead, which made Jin Lifu's eyes split, and even interrupted his breath-holding action, and accidentally inhaled sharply.

Jin Lifu was annoyed, and the dagger in his hand slashed towards her neck, and then slapped her and pushed her off the altar......
