Chapter 172: Bone Hatred
The armor that originally belonged to the forbidden army Sun Yi had been tattered in the heavy fight, and slowly slipped off Qingchen's body, revealing the red power suit inside, but Qingchen didn't seem to notice it.
Walking slowly, but very firmly, he walked to Ye Xi's corpse, squatted down, and looked at Ye Xi, who was already breathless, Qingchen wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word, and her heart was like a huge stone pressing, making her so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
A gust of wind hit behind her, although the other party's movements were careful, but still couldn't avoid Mu Qingchen, who was deaf and clear-sighted, the vigilance that she had cultivated on the battlefield in her previous life played a role at this moment, she didn't even look back, the long sword in her right hand passed under her left arm, and directly stabbed the opponent's death hole.
"I'm sorry, Ye Xi, I should have picked you up earlier. Mu Qingchen said to Ye Xi, who was already silent.
If she could take Ye Xi out earlier, she would carry all the dangers, Ye Xi would not be used by Xiao Ling like this, and she would not die under Xiao Yi's sword.
It was she who was arrogant, she was still shrouded by the aura of her previous life, thinking that she was still the omnipotent Ye Tingcheng, thinking that she had the protection of the Ye family, the protection of the three thousand hidden guards, the loyal follower of Ye Xi, the unhesitating support of the brothers of the Star Picking Tower, and the soul hidden in Mu Qingchen's body, which belonged to Ye Qingcheng.
But she forgot that among the men in the royal family, which one is innocent and harmless?
Xiao Ling went from an unfavored concubine to the most trusted son in the eyes of the emperor step by step, the most outstanding future prince in the hearts of the courtiers, and the monarch in the hearts of the people of Ningyue.
And what about Xiao Yi? After ten years in the Tianxing Kingdom, he was able to quietly cultivate his own power, practice such unfathomable martial arts, and have close contacts with many courtiers in the Ningyue Kingdom, if he was just an idle prince who didn't care about anything, he visited the brothels of Qinglou with a cynical attitude, and he loved fine wine and beauty all his life, who would believe it?
She thought that she could take revenge with her own strength, pull Xiao Ling off the throne, and clear the Ye family's grievances, she even naively thought that when this matter was over, she would let Xiao Yi choose a prince among the Xiao family, pass the throne to him, and then spend time with her.
But...... At this point, things have long been out of her original imagination.
Tianjizi is dead, Ye Xi is dead, these few large-scale battles, I don't know how many brothers have died in the hands of Xiao Ling's forbidden army and secret guards.
She took revenge, those who participated in framing the Ye family are all dead, those families are destroyed, even Xiao Ling was pulled off the throne tonight, as long as Xiao Yi ascends the throne, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, it is necessary to use the Ye family to talk about things and clear the Ye family's grievances.
She's done that, but ...... What did she gain? Even the only thing she had, she was going to lose.
What you shouldn't love, you can't help but love, and what you shouldn't hate, you will continue to hate.
In her previous life, she was Ye Chengcheng, who was born for power, but she died in the struggle for imperial power in her previous life, and now, she is Mu Qingchen, who was reborn for hatred, but she will continue to struggle in this outright hatred.
Endless.
Mu Qingchen lifted Ye Xi's body up from the ground, even if there was little strength left in her own body, she still had to take Ye Xi out, at least she couldn't let her stay in this cold and ruthless palace, and was casually wrapped in straw mats by the guards of the aftermath and thrown into the wilderness.
One step, one sword, one person.
Those who tried to stop her had all been killed by her sword. Qingchen only felt the blood and qi in her body surging, Zhi Lanrui's poison swam all over her body, and the severe pain made her soberly know that she was still alive now, and she had to take Ye Xi out of this place.
Maybe it was Qingchen's cold eyes that frightened everyone, or maybe those dark guards were afraid of the sword in Qingchen's hand, or they were terrified that Qingchen knew their weaknesses so well.
In short, no one tried to attack her again, just slowly surrounded her, narrowed the circle, and slowly approached.
Qingchen walked to the stone steps without hesitation, swept to the rear with a sword, forced back the black-clothed man who tried to catch up, and walked towards the city tower with Ye Xi's body.
The palace gate was wide open, and the Xiao cavalry camp was sandwiched between the forbidden army in the palace and the Gyeonggi guards outside the palace, surrounded by the front and back, the different surname Hou was a veteran of the battlefield, and the commander of the Xiao cavalry camp was also brave and strategic.
However, Qingchen didn't want to pay attention to all this, because it had nothing to do with her.
In this battle, Xiao Ling's defeat has been decided, the country of Ningyue has changed hands since then, Xiao Yi ascended the throne, and changed the dynasty.
If Xiao Yi wants to sit firmly, he is bound to overturn the case for the Ye family first, winning the support of the courtiers and the praise of the people, but the only living person in the Ye family died under his sword just now.
She is Mu Qingchen, she is not Ye Qingcheng, so as long as the Ye family can show Xue, the rest has nothing to do with her.
"The dark guards and archers listened to the order and killed Mu Qingchen. Suddenly, Xiao Ling, who was fighting with Xiao Yi, gave such an order in mid-air.
All the archers on the city tower turned around one after another, the tip of the arrow pointed in the direction of Mu Qingchen, drew their bows and shot arrows, respecting Xiao Ling's order, trying to kill Mu Qingchen.
And the secret guard also heard the order, leaving some people to continue to entangle Luo Jin, Zhao Xu and others, and the rest of the people went down the city tower and chased towards Mu Qingchen. Because they all knew in their hearts that no matter how powerful Mu Qingchen was, he was just a woman, and he was still a woman who had just drunk poison and received Zhang Jing's palm.
After supporting it for so long, I'm afraid it is already the end of the strong crossbow, as long as they take turns to fight, they don't worry about Mu Qingchen and not dying.
"You already know that the person behind the scenes is me, why did you order her to be killed?" The attack in Xiao Yi's hand became even more violent, and a sword stabbed out, slashing through Xiao Ling's arm, shouting angrily.
"I know that the defeat is decided, how can I make you satisfied? Mu Qingchen is Mu Qingjue's only sister, so she is naturally very baby. You ascended the throne as the emperor, but Mu Qingchen died in this palace change, what do you think Mu Qingjue thinks?" Xiao Ling did not hesitate to say his plan, even if his arm was injured, he still pestered Xiao Yi, so that he had no time to save Mu Qingchen.
As soon as Xiao Yi heard this, he understood Xiao Ling's plan.
Mu Qingchen is married on behalf of the friendship of the Tianxing Kingdom, and she is also the well-known Princess Yi of the world, King Yi ascended the throne as the emperor, the Jade Hook Princess of the Tianxing Kingdom not only failed to share the honor, but died in this palace change, didn't it just give Mu Qingjue an excellent reason to send troops to the Ningyue Kingdom?
Therefore, Xiao Ling's plan is for him to be crowned emperor even if he ascends the throne, even if he announces the cause of the death of the first emperor to the world, even if he is the heir to the throne of the first emperor, he will have to carry such a black cauldron, so that he will have to fight with the Heavenly Star Kingdom as soon as he ascends the throne.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi saw an arrow on the city tower flying towards Qingchen at a rapid pace, and shot Qingchen's left back shoulder impartially, but saw Qingchen's figure staggering, his steps paused, and immediately several secret guards caught up and launched a killing move against Qingchen.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi was anxious, whether it was for the peace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom and the Ningyue Kingdom, or for the little thought in his heart, he knew that he didn't want to see Qingchen have an accident, because she, who had always been on guard, used to believe in him so much.
At the moment when Xiao Yi was in a trance, the soft sword in Xiao Ling's hand danced very similarly to the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens that Qing Chen performed in Longchen Palace, and the sword moves were the same, but Xiao Ling's sword moves were more ruthless and the sword aura was stronger.
Xiao Ling's sword locked into a solid barrier in the air, completely cutting off Xiao Yi's way, so that Xiao Yi could only fight against him, and could only watch Mu Qingchen, surrounded by secret guards, and then fought his way out of the encirclement, and was surrounded again.
Mu Qingchen was dressed in red, just like when she got married from the Heavenly Star Kingdom, it seemed that everything was back to square one.
Blood seeped out, but it was obscured by the same red clothes, and nothing could be seen at all. Qingchen condensed the remaining internal force in his body, and shook the arrow on the left back shoulder, but saw that the arrow only flew far away, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
The dark guards looked at each other, surprised by Mu Qingchen's strength, I don't know how high this woman's martial arts are, so that after experiencing a series of vicious battles, she can be hit by arrows in her palm, but she can still force out the arrows in her body.
Qingchen only felt that she was about to lose her support, she took Ye Xi to the direction of Fengzao Palace, which was already far away from the range of the archers, but the pursuit of the secret guards behind her was endless, and a group of people were killed.
The people on the city tower could no longer see Mu Qingchen's figure, and behind Mu Qingchen, the imperial city tower of the Ning Yue Palace also became her memory at this moment.
"Princess, come inside!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Qingchen's ears, it turned out to be the flower shadow who had helped her kill Zhiting and those secret guards before.
Hua Ying saw Ye Xi in Mu Qingchen's hand, and was more sure of the guess in his heart, so he helped.
"Flower Shadow, don't forget, you are also a secret guard, you can only obey the emperor's orders. The secret guard who came after Qingchen saw the shadow of the flower wearing the palace maid's clothes, and spoke.
"I'm Fleur, I'm not Huaying, my heart is only loyal to the person who saved me outside Lichun Tower. As Hua Ying spoke, her figure flickered, and she fought with these secret guards, giving Qingchen a chance to enter the Fengzao Palace.
Qingchen's heart was numb, and Hua Ying's words only touched her slightly, but it was fleeting, she walked into Fengzao Palace without hesitation, closed the palace door, and walked towards the dormitory of Fengzao Palace with Ye Xi.
At this time, on the city tower, Luo Jin finally got rid of the entanglement of the secret guards, flew to Xiao Yi's side, and said, "She needs you, leave it to me here." ”
When Xiao Yi heard this, he no longer hesitated, and took advantage of the moment when Luo Jin joined in, he easily blocked Xiao Ling's sword, flew back a few steps, left the range of Xiao Ling's sword moves, took advantage of the situation, and chased in the direction of Fengzao Palace.
