Chapter 116: The Struggle for the Throne
A few people in the rivers and lakes hesitated, indeed, if they can enter the court as an official, then fame and fortune are naturally better than street performances.
But can she believe this? Why would an exiled princess speak such a tone?
A few people hesitated and Li Qingqing opened his mouth again, "If you don't want to, then I have to do it!" ”
Li Qingqing's eyes glanced at Ren Fei, Ren Lingshan and the others, and several of them immediately started to kill.
Several Jianghu people knew that they couldn't escape this time, and finally agreed.
In this way, Li Qingqing subdued the most scattered group of people on the rivers and lakes, but they were as ubiquitous as mudslides.
Some of them continued to walk towards the border.
At this time, Li Qingqing learned the news from the outside world that Beixing and the Kite Kingdom had withdrawn their troops, and the danger of Daqi had been lifted.
However, Cao Xun told her something that the outside world did not necessarily know.
"The princess robbed the Xun family army on the grounds of suppressing the enemy and protecting the country, and forced my father to send troops, which damaged a lot of Cao family troops. My father wrote to me to express his loyalty to the five princesses.
This is the military talisman of the Cao family. Cao Xun took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qingqing, and at the same time took out a talisman, "This is the talisman of the local soldiers in coastal counties." ”
Li Qingqing was a little surprised, "Didn't the Cao family always obey His Majesty's orders?" ”
The Cao family, like the prime minister Liu family and the court lieutenant Zhong Chuyue, are all obedient to the orders of the female emperor, except for the orders of the empress, no one's orders will be listened to, they are the third party in the court, and in today's third party, the Cao family actually defected, which made Li Qingqing not only surprised but also a little unbelievable.
Faced with her questioning, Cao Xun was a little embarrassed, and was silent for a moment before he continued hesitantly, "In terms of selfishness, it has not been a day or two that I have not been in harmony with the princess and wife.
On the public, the position of our Cao family in the DPRK is actually very embarrassing. Outsiders think we are from the empress's party. But the empress has always been jealous of us.
As we all know, our Cao family was only promoted during the period of the first emperor. The first emperor was alive, and his father always respected the first emperor. Later, after the empress ascended the throne, the status of the Cao family began to be embarrassing because she did not value male ministers.
She doesn't reuse male ministers, but because the Cao family's power is getting bigger and bigger, she can't reuse it. That's why I had to get married.
If our Cao family wants to show loyalty, we have to accept such a marriage.
But now, the empress still doesn't trust us, and my father has decided to go to your highness, and is willing to help you. ”
Li Qingqing is also the time to employ people, at this time, someone is willing to join, it is like a tiger with wings, Li Qingqing immediately accepted it.
In addition to these martial arts followers, Li Qingqing also met literati followers along the way.
Among the literati, there are not only some young talents, but also many ministers of Li Qingqing and his party who resigned from the court and returned to their hometowns, and now all these people have rushed to follow her.
In addition, Zhong Chuyue was also on the way here.
In the dark and deep jungle, Zhong Chuyue and the figure of the cat were like a leaf, jumping from one section to the other lightly.
There were also a few shadows following closely in the darkness.
The roaring cat on her shoulder suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes looked behind her in alarm.
In the woods behind, several black shadows approached like lightning, and the roaring cat adjusted its posture, then borrowed Zhong Chuyue's shoulder as a springboard and jumped out.
In the darkness, someone snorted, followed by a whining cat.
Zhong Chuyue, who was still desperately advancing, knew what a thrilling moment had happened behind her, but she didn't stop, but jumped to a higher branch, and then jumped again, jumping onto the bamboo, because the bamboo branch has a small bearing capacity, so she didn't stay too much at all, she jumped down as soon as she landed, just grabbed the bamboo branch by the way, pulled the whole bamboo to bend, and then with the help of the force of the bounce, bounced into those black shadows, quickly pulled out a short knife and stabbed into the black shadows, and picked up the roaring cat, This series of actions is so fast that it can be done in one go.
Several of the shadows had been stabbed, a little annoyed, and wanted to catch up.
But Zhong Chuyue had already flown far away.
Those black-clothed people stepped forward and followed, and when they were about to catch up with Zhong Chuyue, someone in the darkness suddenly threw down two thunderbolts, which smashed into the place where the black shadow landed, instantly bursting into sparks, and a flash of fire flashed in the night. Through those black shadows, the limbs flew around, and the blood flowed.
Solving this wave of people, Zhong Chuyue glanced at the person who threw the thunderbolt, and sure enough, it was him.
"Didn't you swear not to let me catch up, and now that you suddenly turn back, you won't be afraid of being overtaken by me?" Zhong Chuyue glanced up at him, but a smile couldn't help but appear in her eyes.
When the man saw her laughing, he couldn't help laughing, "No way, I'm afraid that if you die, no one will chase me!" ”
"Who's going to chase you!" Zhong Chuyue heard the meaning of the words and immediately denied it.
The man was very sure, "It's you chasing me, you've been chasing me all the way, is it a ghost!" ”
"Oh, this chase......" Zhong Chuyue's face was embarrassed, she didn't expect people to say this.
People just want to ask, "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
Zhong Chuyue turned around and ran forward.
It's going to be the guy chasing her.
chased and caught up, and finally found Li Qingqing three days later.
"Your Majesty has an order, and the five princesses will return to the palace secretly. However, when Weichen came, there were many people in black who blocked him, and I am afraid that this secret is not so secret. ”
……
If this is the case, Li Qingqing was ordered to return to the palace on the way, and there were more and more people who obstructed her, at first it was just some black-clothed killers, and then there was the shadow of the army, and then later, the queen daughter came with troops, saying that she was chasing Cao Yuan, so she just took the opportunity to chase Li Qingqing.
So a group of people fought, and the scene was very bloody and rude.
The queen lady saw that Li Qingqing happened to be a person, and wanted to rush over to capture the thief and capture the king, who knew that with a palm, Li Qingqing took it just right, and the right hand of the person turned around, and she almost twisted her arm off, but fortunately, the queen lady reacted quickly and kicked away with her foot, and Li Qingqing had to let go.
The empress dowager was surprised, when did she practice martial arts, and why did she improve so much at once.
Li Qingqing looked at the imperial concubine with cold eyes, "Does the imperial sister want to continue?" ”
The queen lady gritted her teeth and ordered people to go all out, and she herself did her best.
After several struggles, although Li Qingqing did not gain the upper hand, he did not have the upper hand, and did not let the princess take advantage of it at all.
The Empress had to retreat and order one of the black-clothed men with higher martial arts skills to deal with Li Qingqing.
And at this time, Gongsun Fu also happened to turn around and rushed over to this side, and when the man in black rushed towards Li Qingqing, he grabbed it, kicked the blade on the ground, and stabbed the man in black.
The man in black did a backflip and retreated.
At this time, Suo Ye threw out a few thunderbolts.
Immediately the ground was dusty and fire-blazing, and all kinds of corpses with severed arms flew up in the firelight, leaving a pool of blood.
