Chapter Fifty-Six: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
Luo Sinan and Ji Jingyang escorted an inconspicuous carriage to Qishan. Ji Jingyang walked in front of the team, while Luo Sinan was at the back of the team.
When the carriage traveled more than ten miles out of the city gate, he saw that the official road was cut off by several stones that were one man high and two arms wide.
A Tianlongwei who walked in front of Ji Jingyang said to Ji Jingyang: "There are big rocks blocking the road ahead, could it be that the recent rainy season has caused a landslide?" If this is the case, this official road is not safe, should we go the other way? ”
Ji Jingyang said coldly: "I have seen a lot of landslides, have you ever seen only big stones blocking the road, but no mud and sand?" ”
"So what is this...... Have we been ambushed? ”
As soon as Tianlongwei's words fell, he heard the sound of a rumbling boulder rolling down from the back of the convoy. These stones were so big that there was a lot of commotion, and the official road under everyone's feet also vibrated with the force of the stones rolling down the mountain.
This time, there is no need for Ji Jingyang to answer, it is a person who knows that this is really an ambush.
It seems that this plan has been successful.
The Heavenly Dragon Guard, Xuanjing Hall and the Imperial Forest Army drew their swords one after another, preparing to meet the enemy.
At this time, behind the boulder in front of the convoy, more than a dozen people in black jumped out.
The Tianlong Guard, who was at the forefront, shouted and led his men to attack these black-clothed men.
The two teams of men and horses were close to each other, and for a while, the sound of sword collision was endless. Tianlongwei is well-trained and quite brave when encountering enemies, and since he is a man in black who wants to assassinate the emperor, how can he be a simple character? The team held each other a few feet away from Ji Jingyang, and the battle line was stubbornly defended by the Tianlong Guard, unable to move half a point to the imperial driver, but the Tianlong Guard could not take advantage of it, and could not resist these black-clothed people retreating.
Ji Jingyang's face was calm, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he watched these people fighting in front of him, coming and going. His horse kept the black chariot and never moved.
These men in black are not the point, at best they are just pioneers of the way ahead.
Sure enough, after half a burnt incense hour, seeing that the assassin and the Heavenly Dragon Guard could not hold each other, suddenly there was a whistle in front of the team, and more than a dozen strangely dressed non-human and non-beastly monsters pushed away the stone formation and jumped out.
These people, dressed like the baby-snatching medicine man, had a ghostly face, their arms covered with black scales, and their claws were sharp, so that they could make blades.
Even the war horse that Ji Jingyang rode was experienced in a hundred battles, and he was frightened by these people and took two steps back.
These are the medicine men who were controlled by the thieves with poisonous flowers, and they are all martial arts masters, which are very difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, as soon as these medicine men made a move, the situation changed drastically in an instant, and Tianlongwei couldn't resist the attack of these powerful and invulnerable monsters at all, and he was defeated in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Ji Jingyang raised his hand, the Shenji Battalion behind him who had set up a formation set up their firearms and launched them in the direction of the medicine man.
It's a pity that as Ji Jingyang expected, these medicine people don't know pain, they are not afraid of muskets at all, Rao is body is full of bullet holes, and his walking is not affected at all, not to mention that the medicine man's pair of armor arms are very tough, it is simply a knife and gun, waving his hand to protect his body, it is like an iron shield, and he can block all the bullets fired by the musket.
Where has the Shenji Battalion seen such a battle? Then he was confused, and the bullets were loaded three times, but the medicine man was closer to the carriage.
Ji Jingyang frowned slightly, and he heard the uniform gunfire of the Shenji Battalion coming from behind the team.
There was no need for him to look back, he knew that Luo Sinan was in the same situation as himself.
It's really a belly and back enemy.
Seeing that the ordinary Tianlongwei was no longer the opponent of the medicine man, the medicine man had already broken through the defense line of the Shenji Battalion. If you don't make a move at this time, you can't avoid it.
Ji Jingyang pulled out the demon sword and attacked the medicine man. Although he is strong in martial arts, he is not the opponent of the large number of martial arts masters who have turned into medicine people. After more than a dozen moves, he has been forced to retreat a few feet. If it weren't for the fact that the medicine man's target was just the emperor in the carriage, Ji Jingyang would have been in a different place long ago.
Just when he couldn't resist it, a black figure stood in front of him, holding the sword that was about to slash at the door in front of him. It turned out that Lei Zijing saw that Ji Jingyang was in danger, kicked away the medicine man he was dealing with, and rushed up to relieve him.
Lei Zijing frowned and said to Ji Jingyang: "We can't resist it at all if it goes on like this." ”
But at this time, there were assassins in front and behind, and there was no way to avoid it, Lei Zijing didn't wait for Ji Jingyang's reply, and then rushed into the enemy formation again.
Ji Jingyang slashed diagonally with a sword and slashed at a medicine man in front of him, but the medicine man was not afraid of pain at all, but he was forced to take a few steps back by the strength of Ji Jingyang's sword, and then waved his claws forward.
At this time, Luo Sinan was slapped by the medicine man and flew away, and just retreated to Ji Jingyang's side.
Fortunately, Ji Jingyang raised his hand to stop him, so that he would not fall to the ground.
Ji Jingyang and Luo Sinan glanced at each other, and both of them were a little embarrassed.
Both of them were repelled by the enemy, not to mention those Royal Forest Guards and Heavenly Dragons.
Lei Zijing pierced the chest of a medicine man with a sword, and when he looked back, two or three medicine men had already climbed into the carriage. He jumped into the carriage and kicked one of them away, but was powerless to stop the others.
Ji Jingyang said to Lei Zijing: "I can't stop it!" Come down! ”
Lei Zijing was very alert, so he jumped out of the carriage when the other two medicine men lifted the roof of the carriage.
Just as Lei Zijing landed, the carriage was lifted open by the medicine man, and all the remaining medicine people rushed to the carriage.
But where did the emperor come from in the carriage? There was only one large black box.
Without thinking, the medicine man who lifted the roof of the car opened the large box.
The rest of Tianlongwei, Ji Jingyang, Luo Sinan and Lei Zijing all took a few steps back, turned their backs to the carriage, and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
Only to hear an explosion shook the entire official road. The bomb was so powerful that several of the Draconians who were close to each other were injured.
It was only when the dust raised by the bomb slowly settled down that everyone slowly saw clearly...... Although some of the medicine men were blown up and died, about half of them were still alive. Seeing that the assassination had failed, these medicine men all turned around and looked at the Heavenly Dragon Guard and the Imperial Forest Army in all directions.
This is to wipe out all these people in front of him.
If it was really a hand-to-hand encounter, the Heavenly Dragon Guard and the Imperial Forest Army were no match for these medicine men at all.
Just as Luo Sinan and the others were about to fight on their backs, a bright yellow figure jumped into the circle, only to see her right hand raised lightly, throwing the array net in her hand, just enough to catch a medicine man.
Zhang Ji was slower than Ji Cunyan, he followed behind Ji Cunyan, holding the talisman in his hand, and then threw it at the medicine man.
The talisman was pasted on Ji Cunyan's ink net, and the flames on the talisman ignited violently, and the medicine man turned into a burning man in the blink of an eye. After the fire engulfed the medicine man, he stopped moving. But when he raised his head to the sky and roared, he was curled up by the fire and fell to the ground.
Luo Sinan and the others were stunned.
But Ji Jingyang reacted first and said, "So this is the meaning of fire attack?" ”
Ji Cunyan jumped to Ji Jingyang's side and said, "Third brother, I found out with Zhang Ji that these medicine people are controlled by the powder spread out by the scales on their arms, and as long as these powders are ignited, these medicine people will lose control." ”
Zhang Ji said: "As long as I use Xiao Ji's ink net to control the medicine man and lock those powders, I can break this method by burning the powder with the Samadhi True Fire." ”
Luo Sinan said: "Then come and help!" Your third brother is going to be buried in the ground. ”
Ji Cunyan pouted and said, "Bah, bah! ”
However, now that the method of restraining the medicine man has been found, these medicine people made of martial arts masters are not so difficult to deal with.
Luo Sinan said to Ji Jingyang: "Your sister has made a great contribution, but she can be rewarded." ”
Ji Jingyang said lightly: "Let's talk about it after this fight!" ”
Just when everyone thought that the matter had been settled, several green fireworks burst out from the east in the air.
Lei Zijing looked up at the fireworks, and then turned back to Ji Jingyang and said, "It's the direction of Qishan." ”
Ji Jingyang said to Luo Sinan: "Could it be that King Jing has other arrangements?" ”
Luo Sinan frowned and said: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, I thought we were the yellow finch, but who knows that it is still a bad move." ”
At this time, Qi Yue and Concubine Ning were frowning together and looking at King Jing in front of them.
King Jing was followed by a few of his personal masters and accompanying generals, and behind a few people, there were hundreds of soldiers from King Jing's Mansion who surrounded the royal car.
Qi Yue stepped forward and protected the emperor and Concubine Ning behind him. shouted to King Jing: "Bold King Jing, why don't you be summoned to the royal holy land, what do you mean by these personal soldiers behind you holding swords in their hands?" ”
King Jing just laughed and said, "There is nothing wrong with what you asked. It's just that these words, coming out of the mouth of a eunuch, sound so funny...... Hahahaha! But I can still answer you. What am I going to do with my troops and surround this place? Of course, kill this dog emperor behind you and ascend the throne yourself! ”
The emperor frowned and said, "King Jing! Do you know what you're talking about?! ”
King Jing said: "Since I can say this, I haven't thought about going back." ”
The emperor said: "You are so rebellious, have you ever thought about what will happen to you if you fail?" ”
King Jing said: "This kind of thing, you should think about it yourself!" ”
The emperor looked at the battle situation and knew that King Jing had come prepared. Now Luo Sinan is not by his side, and the Royal Forest Army has a lot of losses. In fact, even if the Imperial Forest Army did not suffer battle damage, now that hundreds of King Jing's personal soldiers surrounded Qishan, there was little chance of getting out by himself.
He moved a few steps and actually protected Concubine Ning behind him.
Concubine Ning was observing the terrain of Qishan, thinking about where to find an opportunity to take Emperor Qi Yue to break out of the encirclement, but she didn't expect that the emperor still wanted to protect herself at this time, and she felt a burst of emotion in her heart.
At this time, several pro-soldiers behind the emperor took out bamboo tubes from their arms, wanting to send signal flares into the air, but suddenly several long arrows shot out from the secret place, and before the pro-soldiers could send a signal, they were killed.
Concubine Ning and Qi Yue looked around, and it turned out that there were archers ambushed in the surrounding dense forests.
King Jing really came prepared and arranged carefully.
However, the emperor's personal soldiers behind him were well-trained, and when they saw that the first wave of Imperial Guards who wanted to report the news were shot, several more personal soldiers took out bamboo tubes from their arms.
The archers wanted to keep shooting. A few arrows were fired at once, and the murderous aura came to you.
At this time, Qi Yue suddenly made a move, and with just a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen feather arrows broke off and fell to the ground.
In fact, there is nothing special about shaking the feather arrow down with internal force, and the emperor's close eunuchs will more or less have some martial arts in case of emergency.
But these feathered arrows were broken and fell to the ground, as if the arrows had hit some kind of iron wall. That's a bit of a refinement.
King Jing has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and his own soldiers have naturally been trained in the military camp, and when he saw the appearance of these feather arrows falling, he knew that Qi Yue's internal strength was extraordinary.
This little eunuch is not very old, but it turns out that he is a hidden master in the harem.
In the blink of an eye, the Guards sent out a distress signal.
King Jing didn't care, and only said: "It's too late to move the rescue troops at this time." When the Imperial Forest Army on duty arrives from the palace and the military camp outside the city, you have already landed on the ground, and the entire royal family, who can hold the jade seal, is the only one left. I killed you and reprimanded the Guards who came to escort you for being too late, and I didn't save you. …… When the time comes, I will be a well-deserved true destiny. Even if it is your cronie Luo Sinan, he is powerless. ”
Qi Yue said: "With me here, no one can touch Your Majesty." ”
King Jing only squinted at Qi Yue and said, "Father-in-law Qi said this in such a big tone, but do you think that with your dozens of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, can you stop my five hundred elite soldiers?" My people are all brave soldiers who have been in battle and killed the enemy. ”
Qi Yue stared at King Jing, his eyes were full of murder, and he said slowly: "You can give it a try." ”
As soon as King Jing raised his hand, the four masters behind him shouted and attacked the emperor.
Qi Yue took a step back and said to the Imperial Forest Army behind him: "Escort!" ”
The Imperial Forest Army also drew their weapons and fought with the four masters of King Jing.
However, the four masters are strong in martial arts, and the only remaining Imperial Forest Army is really not their opponent.
Just when the two masters broke free from the entanglement of the Imperial Forest Army and attacked the emperor, Qi Yue pulled out the sword of a Royal Forest Army beside him, and with a single wave, the two masters were stopped and cut off by him, and the corpses scattered in the air.
Concubine Ning also waved her right hand.
Her martial arts skills are not weak, and the internal strength in her hands is deep, and with just one stroke, the corpse pieces of the corpse scattered around the emperor, and even the blood foam did not touch the emperor.
King Jing's pupils shrank, and he took half a step back before saying: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, Your Majesty, there are two masters by your side who I didn't expect." This stinky dead eunuch is just that. Even the women around you are so powerful! You didn't bring the queen, but brought her, did you expect that I would make trouble in Qishan, so you took her to defend yourself? It's a pity that such a beautiful woman is going to die under my sword. ”
Qi Yue said: "Whoever dares to be unfavorable to Your Majesty, come one, I'll cut one, come two, I'll cut a pair." ”
King Jing sneered and said, "You two, but with four hands, can you really beat my thousands of troops?" Even if I use crowd tactics, I can drown you. ”
Concubine Ning shook her right hand, and the Gu King on her ring flew up and hovered over her left shoulder.
Concubine Ning's hands were sealed, and the gestures were complicated and secretive, and when she pushed her hands out, the Gu King roared and flew towards the enemy camp.
Suddenly, King Jing smelled a strange aroma in the air.
He shouted, "Poisonous! Everyone, close the valves! ”
But it was too late. King Jing only felt that his knees were weak, so he knelt down in front of the emperor.
He looked back and saw that all the soldiers behind him were all scattered all over the field, and none of them could stand up.
The whole mountain is also several miles in radius, and it has been surrounded by the army of King Jing. And Concubine Ning's Gu King, the Gu poison released was able to envelop the entire Flag Mountain!
The Gu King of Yunnan is indeed worthy of his name.
He turned his head to look at Concubine Ning again.
Concubine Ning said: "Lord Jing, you are too light on the enemy. ”
Qi Yue said: "Concubine Ning used to be the saint of the Dian Kingdom. The prince once fought with the Dian Kingdom, but he didn't beware of Gu arts? ”
King Jing frowned, and only shouted: "Butterfly Dance!" Butterfly Dance !! You slut! Where are you?! ”
Qi Yue said: "What kind of butterfly dance, I was already defeated by Concubine Ning and ran away." ”
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves galloping was heard in the distance, and listening to the posture, you could know that the lineup of comers was not small.
I don't know if it's friend or foe, Qi Yue and Concubine Ning frowned at each other.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry arrived one after another, but it was Luo Sinan who came with the remnants of his subordinates.
Luo Sinan turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, knelt down to the emperor and said, "Luo Sinan is late for escort, Your Majesty forgives you." ”
Ji Jingyang and others behind him also dismounted and saluted the emperor.
King Jing saw that the general trend had gone, so he gave up, and the strength in his waist could no longer support it, and finally fell to the ground.
What happened after that was that the emperor finally made up his mind to clean up King Jing's remnants and purge King Jing's power in the court. The so-called tree is falling and scattered, King Jing has already been convicted of rebellion, and his subordinate forces are powerless to return to the sky.
The Jian family was already close to King Jing, so naturally it was also affected. However, Jian Shaolin had participated in the case of the mandrill snatching of babies in the capital, and he also made a lot of contributions, and there was no evidence to prove that Qin Tianjian was related to the Qishan case. Jian Shaolin once helped Ji Cunyan approve her life and saved her from marrying her uncle Cao's family, so naturally she sold a favor to the Ji family, but under Ji Rufeng's protection, Qin Tianjian was not affected.
However, Qin Tianjian was not valued by the emperor, and this time Xuanjing Hall made great contributions, and it seems that in the next ten years, it will be difficult for Qin Tianjian to make achievements in the court.
These are all gossips that Ji Cunyan listened to when he was eating at home.
"It sounds like the capital has been turbulent recently...... Why is our family so idle? Ji Cunyan asked Ji Rufeng while eating.
"We only care about the matter of eliminating demons and destroying ghosts, and the court dispute has nothing to do with us. Is it true that Qin Tianjian can stay? ”
Ji Cunyan shook his head.
"It is also because their young master, Jian Shaolin, only does his own internal affairs, never forms a party for personal gain, and is close to the officials of the imperial court. Although his father is a little confused, I don't think it's good enough for this child. ”
Ji Jingyang frowned and said, "Where is he good?" ”
Mrs. Ji saw Jian Shaolin, and at this time she sandwiched a chopstick meat for her son and said, "It looks good." ”
Ji Cunyan sneered.
was glared at by Ji Jingyang.
"Jian Shaolin is not an ordinary person, don't have anything to do with him on weekdays." Ji Jingyang frowned.
On the other hand, the Jian family and King Jing have always been close, but they were able to retreat under such a big storm, and Jian Shaolin's useless father did not have this kind of vision.
"Uncle Thunder said that there will be a heavy thunderstorm tonight." Ji Cunyan looked up at the window and said, "But it must be very cool when it rains." ”
"After the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Yan will be seventeen." Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Jingyang stopped chopsticks in the same season as the wind.
"It's still early, mother, people celebrate their birthdays in the winter moon." Ji Cunyan smiled and said, "It's not enough to prepare a birthday gift for me now, I don't mind." ”
Mrs. Ji frowned slightly and looked at Ji Rufeng.
Seventeen years old...... You have to be prepared.
Ji Cunyan went out to find Zhang Ji during the day, but he didn't know where he went, so he yelled sleepy after eating and went back to his room to rest.
Leaving the Ji family's parents in the patio with Ji Jingyang.
The three of them were silent for a long time before Ji Rufeng said, "What did Daoist Yun Chu say about this?" ”
Ji Jingyang said, "I asked Zhang Yunchu, and he said that there is no way. Let's send Xiao Ji to Longhu Mountain, and he will plan. ”
"How long will it take?" Mrs. Ji hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yan has never been away from home for more than two months, what should I do if I am afraid that she will be homesick on the mountain?" ”
Ji Rufeng said: "It's safer than putting it in the capital." Madam, think about it, even if our Xuanjing Hall is tight-lipped, there is still Qin Tianjian in the capital. ”
"But isn't Xiao Yan quite familiar with Jian Shaolin?"
Ji Jingyang said, "I'm afraid that Jian Shaolin just wants to be friends with the fourth lady of the Ji family, not with ......."
He held his head down, but the rest of the words were not spoken.
Ji Rufeng said, "Master Zhangjia, the Taoism is very. I see that Zhang Ji has such cultivation at a young age, and I know that Yun Chu Dao must be even more powerful. It's always a good idea to send it over. ”
Ji Jingyang nodded.
Within a few days, Ji Jingyang arranged for Ji Cunyan and Zhang Ji to visit Zhang Yunchu, the head of Longhu Mountain Road.
"In this bag is the secret letter I gave to Daoist Zhang Yunchu. You have to give it to him face to face. Ji Jingyang told Ji Cunyan.
"Got it!" Ji Cunyan is quite happy. This is the first time she has left home to carry out a mission alone, and it is not counted, and the Suzhou snake case was also the first for her to go alone.
But this time, with Zhang Ji with him, it is not boring to come on the road.
Zhang Ji waited for Ji Cunyan to say goodbye to his family outside the Shili Pavilion, he was dressed in cloth, although he was not wearing a robe, but he was also different from ordinary passers-by, it seemed that his clothes were not dusty, and he had a bit of a fairy temperament.
Ji Cunyan jumped up and walked up to him and said, "You can go!" ”
Zhang Ji bowed his hand to the Ji family and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ji, I will definitely send it to Longhu Mountain safely." ”
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm protecting you, or if you're escorting me." Ji Cunyan dismantled his platform.
"Let's wait until you follow me across the rivers and lakes." Zhang Ji said.
Mrs. Ji looked at the back of her daughter and Zhang Ji, and she was really full of emotion in her heart.
Ji Rufeng said to his wife, "It's not that I won't come back." When Daoist Yun Chu finds a way, his daughter will be able to go home. ”
Ji Jingyang also looked at his sister's back and sighed.
