Chapter 54. Preemptive

"She won't leave you..."

The King of the Southern Realm whispered, "Like a pine." His hand groped for him, "Are you alright... Ghost Forest... Demon Clan... Ancient Demon... Conspiracy... Will you survive?

Lin... Ye Lao... Save my child... Save him!"

"I'm here, I'm back." Qi Rusong burst into tears.

Qi Tai coughed, blood splattered, but his fingers clenched tighter. "Qi Rubai, you... After all, still... Hands-on... Hum... Right... That's like a Qi man. Maybe you're more suited for pine like pine... Become... King.

But... I won't let you... Succeeded... You're not my son... No! ”

Suddenly, accompanied by painful spasms, the King of the South's arm tensed, and his nails dug into Qi Rusong's palm, letting out a suffocating scream.

The chief physician outside the door immediately entered the door, adjusted another dose of painkiller powder, and wanted to help his prince pour it.

However, at this moment, the demon sword dragon light emitted a buzzing sound, and a black qi peeled off from Qi Tai's body and was sucked into it by the divine soldier.

What's going on?

Before Qi Rusong could react, the king of the southern realm seemed to suddenly regain consciousness, and he slammed the cup away with the back of his hand. "Fuck off, you old immortal. What did you give me a drink? This king has slaughtered you! ”

The doctor gave Qi Tai an injured look: "Lord Wang... It's pain relief..."

"Pain relief? Someone, get this damn quack for me. ”

"Father! What's going on? Qi Rusong hurriedly stepped forward and supported Qi Tai.

"Rusong... You've come back safely! That's great! Qi Tai laughed and said, "Quick, hurry up and arrest this villain who wants to harm me." Fast! In the middle of his speech, a sharp pain suddenly hit him, and he turned to a muffled grunt.

Qi Rusong didn't hesitate for a moment, "I'm sorry!" He said as he pushed the doctor to the ground.

"Little prince, prince... Wronged! What did the villain do wrong? Why..."

Hearing the movement inside, Qi Tai's iron guards and the strong men hired by Qi Rubai broke in one after another.

"Lord Wang, what happened?" The question was asked by the Imperial Guard, who was nearly sixty years old. Dressed in a suit of white armor. Although he has gray hair, he still looks strong and elegant. He was tall and had sharp black eyes.

"Qin Wu, quickly put this person into the heavenly prison and interrogate him carefully!" Qi Tai shouted.

"Obey !!"

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are unknown, what did this person do?" In addition, the strong man said. The man was in his thirties, with a lean, hungry wolf-like appearance, black hair, black eyes, and a messy beard.

"Fu Jiuyou, what are you doing here?"

"On the orders of the prince, I have come to protect your safety."

"Joke, I Qi Tai need you to protect someone from the sidelines? Get the hell out of here! Qi Tai angrily rebuked with a majesty worthy of his identity.

But Fu Jiuyou was unmoved, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"Didn't you hear? Are you deaf or ill-intentioned? Qi Rusong directly pushed the sword out of the sheath.

Fu Jiuyou sneered and then left slowly: "I will explain everything to the prince." ”

After this person left, Qin Wu also called the guards and escorted the doctor to the heavenly prison.

"Father..."At this point, Qi Rusong was still a little confused in his heart.

"Rusong, put your hands... The Demon Sword Dragon Light... Piercing my... Abdomen. Qi Tai raised his hand weakly in a state of extreme pain. Fast... There's no time..."

"What !!"

"I'm Qi... Ancestral Demon Sword... Can devour demonic energy, don't you understand? ”

Qi Rusong suddenly woke up to the fact that his father had been killed by witchcraft!

So, he hurriedly stepped forward and aimed the tip of the demon sword dragon light at Qi Tai's abdomen.

"Qin Wu, you can be regarded as a witness for me here. I, Qi Tai, were victimized by the villain, and I need the demon sword dragon light to absorb the demon qi before I can recover my sanity. ”

Qin Wu nodded with a pale face.

When the demon sword dragon light pierced in, pungent black smoke suddenly enveloped Qi Tai.

The king of the south endured the pain and did not let out a wail.

Soon after, as the demonic energy in his body slowly disappeared, Qi Tai's appearance changed drastically.

His skin was no longer old, his face was rosy, and his complexion looked energetic.

"What kind of hex is this?" Qin Wu exclaimed.

"Hmph, this technique has to be used with [Tears of Sighs] to have an effect." Qi Tai took a deep breath, "This technique can make a person's bloodline grow at an extremely fast rate. ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Rusong didn't quite understand either.

"This technique, combined with Tears of Sighs, will make you ten years older in a year. Got it? ”

"Isn't that the legendary forbidden technique [Aging]!"

"Father, when did you get this trick?"

"The fifth day after you traveled to the Ghost Forest. There was an Assassin in the palace that day, and I noticed something strange when I fought him, but I didn't pay attention to it. Qi Tai said, "Now, I don't know who poisoned me when." ”

Tears of Sigh: Colorless and tasteless. It is not a poison, but a precious elixir with strange medicinal properties. He can increase the effect of any elixir (hex) several times faster.

This elixir is extremely rare, and it can be said that it is priceless, and ordinary people can't find it at all.

"Is it the physician who added tears of sighing to the painkiller?" Qin Wu said. "It's vicious! Even if he was discovered, he could lie that it was to enhance the pain-relieving effect. ”

"With such a precious elixir just to enhance the pain-relieving effect, can it be justified?" Qi Rusong said.

"This kind of rhetoric can better reflect the importance they attach to the prince!" Qin Wudao.

Qi Tai snorted coldly, "Rusong, help me up." He said, "I have important matters to discuss with you." ”

With the strength of three people, Qi Tai got dressed. Although most of the hexology has been resolved, his body has not fully recovered. Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

I haven't been on the ground for a long time, so that walking has become a misery.

After getting dressed, Qi Rusong lifted his feet and put on shoes for him, while Qin Wu found a crutch for him. Before going out, Qi Tai drank a large glass of spirits, and added a lot of honey to the wine.

Even so, Qi Rusong could still feel his father's discomfort at the moment. His legs couldn't stop shaking, and he could only lean on crutches with one hand and leaning on his shoulder with the other.

On the way, she met a maid, she stared at them with big white eyes, as if she had seen a demon clan. "The king... Rajah... You're awake..."

This is the elder brother's person, Qi Rusong immediately realized. Go and tell your master! My father has woken up, and is going to settle accounts with you. He thought to himself.

Qi Tai didn't want to embarrass the children of this poor family, "What are you doing here?" Busy with your go. He rebuked.

The maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly saluted and left.

"Go to the secret room!" Qi Tai said.

"Lord Wang? Shouldn't go..."

Does he want to find out who is behind the scenes?

"This person is meticulous and doesn't have much to do." Qi Tai replied to him. "Come with me."

When he came to the secret room again, Qi Rusong felt as if it was the next day.

That time, Qi Tai confided with himself, told him the secret of being a traverser, and handed over the ancestral divine soldier of the Qi clan to himself.

It is this demon sword dragon light that has allowed him to resolve his leisure many times, and his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds.

"Qin Wu, go around and see if there's anyone!"

Qin Wu nodded, walked respectfully towards the door, and glanced around cautiously. After the confirmation was completed, Qi Tai spoke:

"One of you is a confidant who has followed me for more than ten years, and the other is my favorite young son." He approached the two, "My eldest son, Qi Rubai, wants to harm me." ”

He didn't wait for Qin Wu to answer, "Now in the palace, there are thirty personal guards, as well as some other retainers who are loyal to me. ”

Qi Rusong naturally understood, "In this demon disaster, Lord Marven once handed over the Demon Hunting Gate to me. Give me two hours, and I will call a hundred. Moreover, the prince of the eastern realm is still in the palace, and he is my friend! ”

"Lord Wang? What do you want these people to do? Qin Wu asked.

"Preemptively, of course! Act now, before my brother can react. Qi Rusong looked at Qin Wu, lowered his voice, and whispered eagerly.

"Yes, Qin Wu, I need you to bring people loyal to me. Bring my grandson to me, it doesn't matter what Qi Rubai thinks now, once he has his child, he won't dare to act rashly. ”

Qin Wu looked at Qi Tai in surprise, "That's your grandson..."

"Why, do you think my father will harm his own grandson?" Qi Rusong asked.

Qin Wu took a step back, his whole body tense like a bowstring. "If you really want to do this, a hundred people is definitely not enough!" He said, "Shizi has done too much deployment during your time of being bedridden...

At the same time, there were also a lot of people from the princess princess's royal family, and now there were more than a dozen [Sword Spirit] powerhouses and hundreds of guards around her... That's enough for the other side of our guards.

Although you are a [Seventh-Order Sword Emperor] powerhouse, your body has not healed after all. And there is that Fu Jiuyou by the side of the prince..."

"And we don't have an army!" Qi Rusong let out a long sigh, "All the armies in the southern border have already obeyed my eldest brother's orders?" ”

"There are some nobles who are at odds with him! Each of them had a group of strong men and guards in the city. ”

"I know who they are, the most is thirty guards, and the others are even fewer. Even if they all sided with me, it wouldn't be enough. I need mercenaries. ”

"Huh? Mercenaries! Does the King of the Souths need mercenaries? This gets out... I'm afraid it will become a joke in the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

"At the moment of life and death, there is no need to care about this." Qi Rusong said, "Whoever pays, whoever listens to whom." Is that right? ”

Qin Wu looked straight at Qi Rusong's face, his dark eyes flashing with surprise.

"Lord, little prince, do you really want to do this? You are like glory for life! ”

Qi Tai smiled; "I've made up my mind." He said, "It's up to you to do it." It is inconvenient for me to go out, as he has never dealt with those mercenaries and does not know their rules. ”

"Okay," Qin Wu sighed, "I'll go find them." Six thousand taels of gold should be enough, one-third for their chiefs, one-third for non-commissioned officers of all levels, and the remaining one-third for soldiers.

It might have been possible to use half the price, but I'd better not risk it. ”

"Let's go back quickly!" Qi Tai patted him on the shoulder.
