Chapter 45: Impasse
Here, Ye Qing and the three of them and the Imperial Forest Army led by He Tianyuan had a hot fight, but other people outside the hall had already begun to gather.
"No, we have to break out quickly, otherwise it will be more and more difficult to get out!"
Wang Ren shouted at Ye Qing, but Ye Qing didn't understand this truth, but whenever he wanted to rush outside the hall, He Tianyuan would always come over and sneak attack by himself, constantly obstructing himself.
In Ye Qing's opinion, He Tianyuan's purpose was not to capture himself now, but to delay himself, and when the reinforcements arrived, then Ye Qing and the others would not be so easy to get out.
Seeing that the people outside the hall were constantly squeezing into the hall, Ye Qing also understood that he couldn't delay it anymore.
As soon as the blade of the Chengying Sword was horizontal, Ye Qing swung out an incomparably sharp sword qi towards the door of the main hall*, and all those who were hit by that sword qi were all stopped and cut off without exception.
It is also because of this gap that the two people outside the hall seem to be a little afraid, and they are a little flustered.
Ye Qing and the three of them also took this opportunity to rush out.
However, leaving the temple gate does not mean that you are safe. As soon as the three of them came out, He Tianyuan led the reinforcements to catch up. The situation seems to be worse than before.
"The three of us are too focused together, run separately, we will meet at the back door of the Heart Cultivation Palace!"
Ye Qing shouted, and the three of them ran in three different directions.
Although they ran separately, Ye Qing didn't feel any reduction in the number of pursuers behind him, and the noisy footsteps behind him were still endless.
Ye Qing also used to play in the palace when he was a child, and he was very familiar with the terrain.
At the beginning, Ye Qing picked those narrow alleys to run, and the pursuers behind him soon became fewer and fewer, and then when the pursuers behind Ye Qing were less than twenty people, Ye Qing sped up his speed, and finally threw off the pursuers behind him after a few consecutive corners.
However, just when Ye Qing wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
There was no sound, and I couldn't even feel the spiritual power emanating from her body at all. If he hadn't seen it, Ye Qing wouldn't have even discovered the existence of this person.
The man hid himself under a wide cloak, the cap of which was pulled low so that the other man's face could not be seen.
"Who are you?" Ye Qing was immediately alert, this person's strength is definitely not simple.
The man didn't speak, looking at Ye Qing, the other party slowly lifted his hat.
The hat was taken off, and the face that was revealed Ye Qing was still a little familiar.
This person turned out to be Lord Xie Huaizhen, the main seat who entered the palace early in the morning and had no news as Qing'er said before!
"Lord One, why are you here?" Ye Qing said in surprise.
"It's a long story at this time, how is the situation outside the city, is Chu Yun okay?" Xie Huaizhen asked.
"Qing'er told me, after you entered the palace this morning, He Tianyuan sent someone to forcibly rush into the Shenji camp and arrest Lord Chu. Ye Qing replied.
Listening to Ye Qing's answer, the anger on Xie Huaizhen's face was also obvious.
"This miscellaneous item, I really did it while I was away!" Xie Huaizhen scolded.
"What the hell is going on!I've seen Your Majesty, why doesn't Your Majesty know anything about these things, and the situation inside the palace is not as tense as the outside world has reported, it seems that all this is just for people outside the palace to see!" Ye Qing asked, he couldn't figure it out himself, so he wanted to see if Xie Huaizhen had investigated anything here.
"I don't know, I entered the palace to report the news to His Majesty, but as soon as I entered the palace gate, I was ambushed, and I tried my best to escape, and I don't know anything about the situation here now," Xie Huaizhen said.
"Also, I entered the palace because Chu Yun told me, someone wants to enter the palace imperial capital, and the strength is still very strong, the news came back from Chu Qi, you should have been together before, how much do you know about this matter?"
Ye Qing looked at Xie Huaizhen and said what he knew, but it was only what happened when he was with Chu Yun, and Ye Qing didn't say anything about going to Guangfu City later. After all, even the emperor may be fake now, so this Xie Huaizhen Ye Qing in front of him also has reason to be suspicious.
"The most important thing now is to figure out what the hell is going on, it won't be long before Ouyang Ce said about the day of destroying the imperial capital. Ye Qing said.
The day of the destruction of the imperial capital that Ouyang Ce and Chu Qi talked about, on the twenty-third of this month, is now almost fifteen, and the time is very urgent, and only Chu Qi knows the information related to this matter that has been obtained so far.
Chu Qi was originally the high priest of the palace, and the previous Lord Zuo Si, it stands to reason that she is also very clear about the hidden power in the palace, and even if Chu Qi is so clear, she still feels that the imperial capital is in danger, and she must quickly send Chu Yun back to report......
In short, the current situation is still very vague, and one mystery after another is dizzying, and there is no clue at all.
"You're quite right. Xie Huaizhen said, "We have to figure out what happened now, and I think now we have to see Your Majesty again." ”。
"See you again?"
Ye Qing felt that even if he saw the emperor again at this time, he would not be able to change anything, and the emperor's appearance had been analyzed just now, if he went to the emperor now, on the one hand, when it was dangerous, it was very likely that it would be in vain to find it, but he would expose himself.
Ye Qing expressed his worries, but Xie Huaizhen didn't care.
However, since Xie Huaizhen insisted on going, Ye Qing also wanted to see what she wanted to do after seeing the emperor.
At this time, according to the emperor's usual habits, he should always be in the imperial study or the imperial garden, but Ye Qing had an intuition, he felt that the emperor was still in the palace of cultivating the heart. If it was really there, it would add a strong piece of evidence to Ye Qing's conjecture in his heart......
The two did not choose to return the same way, but went around in a circle, and still found a small path to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The back door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was still ajar, Ye Qing and Xie Huaizhen pushed the door open, and this time, the emperor was still standing at the back door.
"Bow to your majesty!"
Ye Qing and Xie Huaizhen knelt down together.
"Is there something wrong?" the emperor asked as he looked at the two of them, seemingly having no doubts about Ye Qingdi's visit again.
"Your Majesty, Chu Yun Tuochen has come to report to Your Majesty, saying that there is a force that is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the imperial capital, and its energy is huge, and the imperial capital is worried!" Xie Huaizhen reported.
"Nothing!" the Emperor flicked his sleeves and turned away.
"This news was brought back by Chu Qi, the former high priest of the palace, who asked Chu Yun. Xie Huaizhen said again.
"Chu Qi?" the emperor muttered, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and why don't you bring her back when you see her!" The Emperor suddenly scolded.
Scolded, but Ye Qing slowly stood up.
"Did I get you on your knees!" exclaimed the Emperor.
But Ye Qing didn't seem to hear it.
"Your Majesty, do you remember when I came? with two other people. Ye Qing asked.
After Ye Qing asked, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why, he didn't speak for a while, and only spoke again after a while.
"Just now, you still took Wang Ren's criminal minister with you. He was drunk and made trouble, and I removed him from his official position!"
"And what about the other person?"
Ye Qing asked, but this time, the emperor couldn't say anything, and at this time, Xie Huaizhen actually stood up slowly.
After a long while, the emperor still didn't speak, and Ye Qing actually pulled out his Shadow Bearing Sword.
The blade of the Chengying Sword became illusory, and Ye Qing raised the hilt that looked empty, and actually slashed at the emperor's head with a single sword!
However, this time, it didn't hit anything. The illusory blade passed through the emperor's body, and where the blade came into contact with the body, it shook like ripples on the surface of the water, and it dissipated directly.
The emperor's body seemed to dissipate, and this Heart Cultivation Hall seemed to have revealed its original face.
Inside the main hall, there was blood.
There were still the bodies of some eunuchs and ministers lying in the corner, and on the chairs in the main hall, the real emperor was being tied to the chairs and was weak.
Ye Qing immediately ran over and released the emperor from his chair.
"Quick...... Hurry up!" the Emperor said in his own voice, which was close to collapse.
However, before a few people left, the surrounding doors suddenly closed by themselves. The sound of the door hitting the door frame was still muffled, for some reason.
After all the doors were closed, the corpses in the corner of the wall staggered to their own feet, and surrounded Ye Qing and the others step by step.
Ye Qing counted it, there were a total of thirteen corpses, the number was not much, and it was easy to solve.
But after the real handover, Ye Qing found that even after these corpses were dismantled, they would immediately return to their original state and continue to stagger around him.
"What's going on! Is it his handiwork again?"
In this case, it is obvious that someone has laid some magic circle trapped here, and when it comes to the magic circle, Ye Qing's first thought is Dong Xin.
This time, Ye Qing couldn't completely destroy these corpses even if he let the Chengying Sword completely blur. Being able to do this, Ye Qing was even more suspicious that this was not done by Dong Xin.
Although the strength of these corpses is not large, it is better than it can recover infinitely to consume its physical strength.
You can't keep consuming it like that.
Ye Qing thought in his heart and began to move towards the door. But when Ye Qing moved to the edge of the door, he found that the door was blocked by a mysterious magic circle, and the Chengying Sword could not leave any traces when he slashed it......
"How's it going over there!"
Xie Huaizhen was by the emperor's side to protect him, so he could only ask Ye Qingfang about the situation.
"No, it's sealed, it can't be opened!" Ye Qing replied.
For a while, the scene was at a stalemate, if you can't leave here, it will be a matter of time before you are defeated by these corpses......
