Chapter 70: Swords face each other
King Anxi was forced to give up the crime of curing Princess Qili under pressure, and it was not easy to fight against the entire Qili family, so he made many preparations for this, but what he never expected was that the Bright Moon Holy Maiden of the Xiling Sect actually surrendered to Princess Qili at the last moment.
Therefore, he could only accept the fact of defeat, withdraw the military order, and no longer pursue Princess Qili's fault for using military power without permission. It's just that he has the heart to give in, but General Xinbuzu, who is at the foot of Stara Mountain, is a general who does not obey the orders of the foreign army, and he still refuses to give up attacking the mountain after receiving the holy order.
General Xinbuzu has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and since he recognized Princess Qili, he has been regretting all the time, regretting how he was infatuated with her in the first place. If it weren't for this, he would be a great general, and he would not have left a laughing stock for people to laugh at.
What if the king ordered to withdraw the military order, he had the right to send troops up the mountain as usual, as if this had not happened. No matter how the Qili family puts pressure on the king, they can't control the soldiers who are far away on the front line, as long as the raw rice is cooked into rice, everything is a fait accompli, who can they do! The king was forced to compromise and had nothing to do, and he was afraid that he was unwilling in every way, so he eradicated the troubles for the king, and instead of being punished for disobedience, he would reward him privately.
Xin Buzu made up his mind, knocked the messenger unconscious with one punch, and did not listen to anyone's advice, and rushed straight up the mountain with his troops. He is already iron-hearted, he has to get rid of the scourge of Princess Qili, this arrogant and arrogant woman, so that he can't raise his head in front of his colleagues, and even his women and children are not right-eyed, this account has to be counted on her head, and now he finally has the most suitable opportunity, if he lets go easily, he doesn't know when he will wait. He didn't want to be tortured for the rest of his life for this woman, he couldn't stand up in her shadow when he lived, and he couldn't be a wretch after death!
The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion confirmed that the Qili family had entered the palace to exert pressure, and received the news that the king ordered the withdrawal of troops and no longer pursued. But seeing the rekindled flames of war under the mountain, the two of them looked at each other, it stands to reason that the messenger should have arrived at this time, and General Xinbuzu should also see the king's holy decree, why did he insist on sending troops to attack the mountain, would he rather resist the decree and completely exterminate the Xiling Sect?
"I'll go to his grandmother's, what kind of hatred does this guy called Xinbuzu have with the Xiling Sect? Do you have to force us all to death to give up? Seeing this formation, the medicine gourd couldn't help but panic, 30,000 cavalry surrounded Stara Mountain, and now all of them rushed to the mountain, not to mention that people can escape, even the roots don't want to live!
"No, is it a mistake, we obviously sent Princess Qili's letter over, and I still watched those old guys enter the palace!" The poisonous scorpion was puzzled, hurriedly took out the sheepskin from his arms, and shook it in front of the medicine gourd, "You see, this is a letter sent to me by the old fellow, saying that the king ordered the collection of troops, and Princess Qili is safe." However, what's going on, I don't believe that Xin Buzu didn't receive the holy decree, I can only say that he acted against the decree! ”
"I also know this, obviously, I want to know what we should do next, the holy decree doesn't work, we can't stay here stupidly and wait for death!" Yao Hulu paced back and forth irritably, "It's not worth dying here for no reason, before they can fight, I'll inform everyone, run away if you can, fortunately, we are not a wreck that others knocked down with one punch, and it is not hopeless to escape." ”
"What if we can escape, there are so many Xiling Sect disciples, they are injured, they can't run, and there is only one way to die if they stay." The poisonous scorpion pulled the medicine gourd and ran back to the altar, "Let's go, let's go to Mingyue to discuss it, and ask her what kind of hatred she has with this guy Xinbuzu." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's only like this, alas, how is this matter getting more and more tricky, how many people have the Xiling Sect offended, one by one, I can't wait to eradicate it quickly." The medicine gourd complained bitterly, and thought of ideas while running, "But old scorpion, fortunately, we also have a trump card in our hands, and the king does not pursue Princess Qili's fault, which means that no one dares to touch her, with her, she should be able to delay for a while!" ”
"If there is a real fight, Princess Qili will also suffer. Alright, crooked gourd, if you're afraid, run away, no one will blame you. The poisonous scorpion said without looking back.
"Uh, what do you say, who is going to escape first, am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, cut, you old scorpion, don't look down on people." The medicine gourd is stimulated and makes him admit defeat to the poisonous scorpion, unless he dies.
When the Holy Maiden of Bright Moon received the news, her expression couldn't help but become solemn, and she couldn't remember when she had offended this new Buzu general.
"Mingyue, what's going on, Xin Buzu would rather resist the decree than go against the Xiling Sect?" The poisonous scorpion asked worriedly.
Mingyue shook her head helplessly: "I don't know, I haven't dealt with him in my impression, maybe I've offended the people around him!" ”
The Southern Holy Maiden angrily slapped the case: "Damn, it's too hateful, this new Buzu dares to resist the decree, I'll go and take his head to see how he still opposes the Xiling Sect." ”
"Nan Shengnu, calm down." Tu Qitang hurriedly stopped her, "What we have to consider now is the disciples of the Xiling Sect, most of them are seriously injured and have difficulty moving, in case the altar is surrounded, no one will be able to escape." ”
"While it is important to protect the cultists, it is also necessary to restrain Xinbuzu." Liu Ye synthesized the opinions of Nan Shengnu and Tu Qitang, "Since he insists on resisting the order, we can't stand still, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the difference in strength is so huge, we can only think of some special methods." ”
Tu Qitang nodded: "In this case, let me go, the Southern Holy Maiden stayed to assist my mother in transferring the disciples, and tried to hide in a safer place." ”
Seeing Liu Ye's worry, Tu Qitang shook her hand a little harder, and between the eyes met, he saw that Tu Qitang had made up his mind, and Liu Ye didn't have much to say.
At this time, Ke Linge and Princess Qili knew the most, and Xin Buzu did not do this against the Xiling Sect, but for Princess Qili. There is no affection between their husband and wife, and Xin Buzu has always been obedient in front of Qili. Xinbu's ancestors fooled the Qili family, and now they are even more incessant, resisting the order and sending troops to attack the mountain, it seems that he is determined not to let go of Qili, either you die or I die, and now is the time to make a decision.
The situation is urgent, his life is at stake, Corinji didn't dare to reveal the hidden secret, if it weren't for him, Princess Qili and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon would not have suffered this disaster, he couldn't hurt them anymore, no matter who encountered the accident, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Princess Qili looked at Ke Linji, who was silent, turned to face the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to be suspicious, this matter has nothing to do with the Xiling Sect, everything is caused by me, and I should be the one to put an end to it." ”
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue only regarded her as reckless, and immediately persuaded: "Although you are the princess of the Sabbath Dynasty, I am afraid that you are helpless in the current situation. ”
"But isn't it, that guy in Xinbuzu has already killed his eyes, and resisting the decree itself is a capital crime, and he is not afraid of one more crime, anyway, he will still take you in his eyes?" Yao Hulu shook his head again and again, disagreeing with Qili's decision, "You better stay with us, find the right time to send you and Corinji away, you go back to the palace to see the king, you must sue this damn guy to death." ”
Qili smiled calmly: "This damn guy is my colt, so I said that this matter started because of me, and it should be settled by me." ”
"Pony? It turns out that the new Buzu is your colt? Then why did he ......" The poisonous scorpion suddenly realized, slapped his thigh sharply, and his eyes widened, "Oh, you mean, that guy is here for you, and he has long wanted to get rid of you by the hand of the king, so that he can get rid of you completely." ”
"So to speak, he's always wanted to get rid of me! Qili confessed their relationship, "We are just a nominal couple, and we have no feelings in the first place, maybe he regrets it and feels worthless, and he doesn't dare to propose to separate from me, and after a long time, he hates me even more." ”
"Oh, I said, this guy is really poisonous, even if you are a nominal husband and wife, then you have the name of husband and wife, how can you kill the killer! Don't talk about this, after all, it's your housework, but he still wants to drag us to the funeral, it's too despicable! The medicine gourd was angry, jumped up and pulled Tu Qitang and walked out, "I'll go with you, let's join forces to destroy his ......"
"Wait a minute......," Princess Qili then got up, thought for a moment, and said, "You rush in like this, I am afraid that before you see him, you will be surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry." No matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't afford to resist this kind of crowd tactic. I'm going with you, and if I show up, I'll be able to guarantee your proximity to him. ”
"This method will work, but you are too risky, the sword has no eyes, and when the time comes, Tu Qitang and I can't take care of you, you will be in danger." The medicine gourd was a little unbearable, he never wanted a woman to come forward, "Forget it, we two big men, we still have to let women come out with masks, how aggrieved, you better stay here and wait for news!" ”
"A manly man can bend and stretch, and he will be treated especially in special circumstances, we are outwitted, and we don't have to make senseless sacrifices, how can it be called aggrieved!" Princess Qili has made up her mind, "I don't want to see anyone innocently sent to death, you don't despise Xin Buzu, he is the commander of the cavalry team of the Sabbath Dynasty, and he is also the top three masters of the Sabbath Dynasty, his martial arts are not weaker than yours, you have to save your strength and concentrate on dealing with him, let me solve the rest." ”
"And my ......," Collinge stepped forward, "I'm here to assist my aunt, with us here, I don't dare to forgive them for nonsense, I can barely resist for a while, and after covering you to approach Xinbuzu, the rest depends on you." ”
Tu Qitang and Yao Hulu glanced at each other and had to accept their suggestion.
Liu Ye supported Princess Qili's plan, "Everyone goes their separate ways, we are responsible for properly arranging the injured cultists, there is no problem on the altar side for the time being, you should be careful in everything." ”
Everyone nodded vigorously, in order to protect their beliefs, they must win this battle.
Princess Qili and Ke Lingi went down the mountain, dressed Tu Qitang and Yao Hulu as accompanying infantry, and the group went straight to Xinbuzu, although there were cavalry guards on the road, but they did not dare to come forward to stop them. General Xinbuzu resisted the order and sent troops, but his subordinates did not know, they always thought that the imperial court was just dealing with a cult, and no one thought about it and no one dared to be an enemy of Princess Qili.
"The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has surrendered to the main palace, the altar is under control, and the main palace asks General Xinbuzu to stop sending troops." Princess Qili looked at Xin Buzu and his lieutenant from a distance, shouting loudly through the heavy cavalry, she had to find a way to close the distance between them, and now this is not conducive to the surprise attack of Tu Qitang and Yao Hulu.
Xin Buzu sneered, he didn't care if the Xiling Sect surrendered, and he didn't care about Princess Qili's so-called request, he had already chosen the path of resisting the decree, and he would never turn back. Even if he cut off her head in front of everyone, no one would dare to stop her.
Xin Buzu was too lazy to deal with Princess Qili, but his lieutenant had to speak up: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have committed a heinous crime by transferring military power without authorization. ”
"A heinous sin? Jokes, just because you dare to cure the sins of this palace? Princess Qili stood upside down with her willow eyebrows and smiled coldly, "This palace has merit in exterminating the cult, what is the crime?" Unauthorized transfer of military power? Who are you listening to? General Qi Yi sent troops to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect, and the palace was just an assist, is this also a crime? Just a lieutenant general, when did you rewrite the royal law of the Sabbath Dynasty? ”
Princess Qili questioned one after another, and the lieutenant general was speechless, and the surrounding cavalry looked at him curiously, thinking that this guy had eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, and dared to argue with Princess Qili.
The deputy general relied on the support of Xinbuzu, and it was expected that he would not let go of Princess Qili this time, so in order not to lose face in public, he mustered up the courage to scream: "Your Majesty has issued an order, Princess Qili should be punished for her crime of using military power without permission!" ”
Hearing this, the cavalry gasped one after another, and looked at Princess Qili together, it turned out that she had committed a capital crime, otherwise how could His Majesty give an order, the unauthorized use of military power is indeed a capital crime, and she has to shirk the responsibility of General Qi Yi.
After all, Princess Qili was a person who was used to seeing big scenes, so she sneered disapprerovingly, and led her hands to approach Xinbuzu step by step, and the surrounding cavalry did not dare to stop her, and retreated one after another to make way for her.
"Don't take the holy decree to deceive people who don't know the truth, as far as this palace knows, after His Majesty found out the facts, he ordered to withdraw troops, but some people resisted the decree and insisted on sending troops. How many people can afford the crime of resisting the decree and deceiving the king? Princess Qili looked directly at Xin Buzu, with a mocking smile on her lips, "General Xin Buzu, you have been a cavalry commander for a few years, how can you know the law and break the law!" What do you want to disregard Your Majesty's decree? Is it difficult to rebel? It's nothing if you live impatiently and take the initiative to die, why do you want to bring irrelevant people to the funeral? ”
"Shut up! Why should the guilty question General Ben! "Xin Buzu's patience is at its limit, and if Qili continues to talk about it, I'm afraid his men will begin to waver.
The adjutant general didn't expect that Qili also knew that His Majesty would make another holy decree, so he pretended to be unmoved and didn't dare to speak, and only hoped that Xin Buzu would do it as soon as possible, so as not to affect him.
"I can testify for my aunt!" Without fear, Colingey said in public, "Before my father knew the facts, he did decree that those who used military power without permission should be punished. However, after a thorough investigation, another decree was issued, ordering General Xinbuzu to withdraw his troops so as not to make a big mistake. Unexpectedly, instead of withdrawing his troops, General Xin Buzu resisted the order and sent troops, and he was the one who bullied the king. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and Princess Qili and Xinbuzu insisted that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but Colingey came forward to prove it for Princess Qili, and the credibility was greatly increased.
"Kolingi, what do you know, don't talk nonsense!" Xin Buzu was obviously a little anxious, for fear that his subordinates would no longer obey the order, "Do you know your father's intentions, you can't be deceived by this woman's rhetoric, it's none of your business here, you flash away!" ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, but my father ordered the collection of troops, but there is something wrong, I am worried that my aunt is in danger to come and see what is going on, but I didn't expect you to dare to resist the order. The situation was urgent, so I had to go up the mountain to inform my aunt first. ”
"Xinbuzu, you don't want to confuse the public and deceive everyone, you know who is the one who is guilty! Your disrespect for the decree is already a capital crime, and now you want to murder this palace to add to the crime! This palace advises you to confess your sins as soon as possible, if you are willing to turn back, this palace may also intercede for you when you think of the past feelings, if you insist on acting recklessly, you will not blame this palace for being ruthless, not only will you die without a corpse, but also the nine clans! ”
"You dare!" Xin Buzu was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his right hand couldn't help but draw his sword, "Qili, don't deceive people too much, General Ben is ashamed of you for you, this account will have to be settled sooner or later, you have committed a capital crime and do not repent, and you want to punish my crime in turn." Okay, I'll let you go to Hades and see if you can still be majestic......"
Xin Buzu lost his mind and ordered: "Take down Princess Qili for me!" Those who do not obey the order will be dealt with by military law! ”
"Presumptuous!" Qili looked at everyone fearlessly, her sharp gaze was enough to cut people with a thousand knives, and she pointed to Xin Buzu with one hand, and reprimanded, "You bully the king and slut, this palace must make you die rather than regret not being at the beginning!" The others told me that they were not allowed to meddle in the affairs of this palace and this slut, otherwise, the whole family would be beheaded! ”
Collinji echoed: "Don't retreat quickly, Xin Buzu is hopeless if he doesn't repent, and whoever stands on his side will end up with only a dead end." ”
The cavalry of the confrontation was in chaos, obeying orders was death, and disobedience was death, how should this be good. Xinbuzu is their leader, Princess Qili and Prince Kolinji are the real royal family, and no matter which side they offend, they will not end well. Moreover, if it is true that the holy decree decrees that the troops should be collected, they are all guilty of deceit.
The cavalry hesitated, and the deputy general was really red-eyed, drew his sword and rushed out: "Take down Princess Qili, and the meritorious person will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan." ”
The lieutenant general took the lead in killing, and the cavalry were even more at a loss, and under the heavy reward, some people began to waver, shaking their weapons in their hands towards Princess Qili and Corinji, and even more had already run towards Princess Qili, aiming directly at her head.
"Save the driver, save the driver...... Ke Linji sent a signal, and Yao Hulu and Tu Qitang rushed to the deputy general and Xin Buzu respectively to start a fierce battle.
