Chapter 171: Short Combat
Qingchen's identity has been revealed, she stood silently, stayed for a while, and after a long time, stretched out her hand to wipe the ash off her face, revealing the original beautiful face inside.
The gaze in his eyes was still cold, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was getting deeper and deeper, with a thick sense of irony.
Xiao Yi looked at Qingchen like this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, as if something was gradually moving away from him. But obviously, he has found out the truth about the death of the first emperor, and has also found evidence that the Ye family was wronged, and he is about to succeed.
"Xiao Yi, you can hide it from me, because I also have something to hide from you, but you shouldn't lie to me and use me. Qingchen said slowly, his face silent.
Qingchen knew what Xiao Ling's purpose in saying these words was, it was nothing more than to let her and Xiao Yi separate, even if she didn't turn against Xiao Lin and help Xiao Lin, she wouldn't help Xiao Yi at this time.
But what can she do? She shouldn't have expected too much from Xiao Yat in the first place, they are just a husband and wife who have been forced together because of a political marriage, each with their own plans. They have something to hide from each other, she blames Xiao Yat for deceiving and using, why is she not using Xiao Yat?
Between her and Xiao Yi, she has always been deceived and used, there is no pure feeling, she was hurt too deeply by Xiao Ling, so when she met Xiao Yi, that little bit of warmth made her proud of her strength and self-control, and she collapsed.
She fell, her heart moved, so ...... Just care.
In fact, there is no need, because no matter what Xiao Yi's purpose is in doing all this, whether it is for the first emperor or for Ye Qingcheng, it has nothing to do with her now. She is just Mu Qingchen, Ye Chengcheng has long been in the past, and Ning Yueguo's compensation for the Ye family will have to be borne by Ye Xi in the future.
She wants to find Xiao Ling for revenge, and now she has succeeded, because she has forced Xiao Ling to the point of no retreat, and the soldiers are coming to the city, Xiao Ling at this moment is just a trapped beast in a cage, waiting for everyone to slaughter.
Qingchen's voice clearly came into Ye Xi's ears, letting her know that Qingchen was standing beside her, and suddenly, a whining sound came out of her mouth, and she seemed to be very restless.
"Nine Emperor Brothers, you still lost. Xiao Ling glanced at Mu Qingchen inexplicably, turned his head and said to Xiao Yi, "Because, because you made the same choice." ”
Before Xiao Yi understood what Xiao Ling meant, he saw Xiao Ling Xiao Ling gesture to Zhang Jing, and the knife in Zhang Jing's hand was raised high and slashed towards Ye Xi's neck.
At this time, Qingchen suddenly moved, but saw her rushing towards Zhang Jing, pulling out the long sword hidden in her sleeve, and stopping him from slashing at Ye Xi's body, but at this time, she clearly heard two words coming out of Xiao Yi's mouth:
"Hands-on. ”
In an instant, there was chaos on the city tower and under the city, Xiao Ling's forbidden army poured out, opened the palace gate and fought with the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion outside.
The archers on the castle tower were very well coordinated, helping the Forbidden Army shoot every sneak attack they could not guard against, both to fend off the oncoming swords and to guard against the sudden bows and arrows on the castle tower, so that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were overwhelmed.
Xiao Ling's secret guard also suddenly appeared, and a wave of black-clothed people descended from the sky, surrounding Xiao Yi and Zhao Xu, but in an instant, the two sides fought on the city tower.
Zhao Xu and Xiao Yi were one enemy, but they were still surrounded by those secret guards who cooperated inseamlessly, and they couldn't find a breakthrough. After all, it was a secret guard trained by Ye Tingcheng back then, and the weaknesses and flaws on his body were extremely hidden, so it was not very easy to deal with.
"Father, I'm going to help His Royal Highness King Yi. Luo Jin, who was below the city tower, also seemed to see the situation on the city tower, so he said to the Hou with a different surname, flew up, landed on the city tower, and joined the battle group.
Xiao Ling looked at the people who were fighting around him, still standing with a smile on his face, as if everything was under control, even in such a situation, he still stood still.
Qingchen spent part of her strength because of the poison of Jieyue Wildflower and Ning Xiang drunk, and she was forcibly poured poison by Xiao Ling just now, without a strong internal force to suppress it, the poisonous gas surged and swam in her body, making her feel a dense pain all over her body, but she knew that if she didn't stop Zhang Jing, Ye Xi would die.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling lifted Ye Xi, who was tied up beside him, used enough internal force, and threw it in the direction of Xiao Yi.
The long sword in Xiao Yi's hand kept waving, and he was fighting with those secret guards, when he suddenly felt that something was coming towards him, with a strong internal force, so he subconsciously turned around, swung out a sword, and slashed towards Ye Xi.
Stabbing - only to hear the sound of flesh and blood tearing in the collision of weapons, Qingchen caught a glimpse of Ye Xi was no longer in place, and suddenly turned around, and found that Ye Xi was actually swung out by Xiao Yi with a sword, and there was immediately a bright red blood mark on his neck, killing him with one move.
"Ye Xi—"
Qingchen's eyes widened, and he let out a heart-rending cry in disbelief, and then there was a sharp pain in his back, but it was Zhang Jing who took this opportunity to slap Qingchen on the back, and the strong force made Qingchen stagger forward a few steps, and the blood in his mouth gushed out.
The black mask on Ye Xi's head fell off, revealing her original face, but before she could say anything, she died under Xiao Ling's conspiracy and Xiao Yi's sword.
Xiao Yi heard Qingchen's voice, the stunned on his face was even worse, he never thought that Xiao Ling would use Ye Xi as a secret weapon to throw at him, if he blocked it, then Ye Xi would definitely die, if he didn't block it, he would be seriously injured.
The long sword in Qingchen's hand was already trembling slightly, the anger in his heart rose, he turned around and moved forward without hesitation, stabbing Zhang Jing in the abdomen, and then pushed hard, sending the sword in his hand forward a few centimeters.
Before the knife in Zhang Jing's hand fell, his eyes widened, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.
The blood stains on the long sword in Qingchen's hand fell to the ground, drop by drop, dripping into a bewitching and dazzling color on the city tower in the dark night.
She tried her best to protect and save, but she couldn't save it after all.
Ye Xi, who she treated as her own sister, the Ye Xi who hibernated in the palace after the death of the Ye family, just to avenge Ye step by step, still failed to see the Ye family's grievances, and had already returned to the Western Realm.
It was Xiao Ling who threw Ye Xi out, so that Xiao Yi was caught off guard and killed Ye Xi.
She shouldn't blame Xiao Yi, but she thought of the tragic situation of Ye Xi being killed by a sword, and thought that these two brothers killed Ye Xi together......
The chaos in the imperial city continued, and Xiao Yi looked at Mu Qingchen, who was already dead, and then realized what he had done. Turning his head and seeing the smug smile on the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth, he suddenly understood in his heart that Xiao Ling was deliberate, knowing that he was bound to overturn the case for the Ye family, so he would kill the last living mouth of the Ye family.
Or rather, let him stop talking.
Just like saying in front of Qingchen just now that he had already understood everything, if he still had a way to explain what happened before, then now, whether he was intentional or unintentional, he couldn't erase the fact that he killed Ye Xi with his own hands.
Because he knew how much Mu Qingchen cared about Ye Xi. Because she had, regardless of whether she would fall into Xiao Ling's trap, she had to enter the palace to see that Ye Xi was okay from time to time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi, who had always been indifferent and self-restrained, also felt a wave of anger in his heart, flew up, landed in front of Xiao Ling, and swung his sword towards Xiao Ling.
He couldn't give Xiao Ling any more chances, only by subduing Xiao Ling first could he explain well to Qingchen.
Xiao Ling seemed to see through Xiao Yi's thoughts, so he also tried his best, pulled out the soft sword on his waist, and fought with Xiao Yi on the upper floor of the imperial city.
The familiar sword moves, as well as the strong internal force, let Xiao Ling know that the person who pretended to be Ye Qingcheng who appeared next to the cold palace that day was Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi has always disguised himself as a cynical and idle prince, but in fact, he is strong in martial arts and thoughtful, and he sees everything Mu Qingchen has done, not only did not stop it, but instead of adding fuel to the fire, it caused today's imperial city palace changes.
He took every precaution and kept his eyes on the mysterious woman related to Ye Tingcheng, but he didn't expect that his Nine Emperor Brothers were the biggest driving force behind the scenes.
Xiao Ling seemed to have seen the little bit of alienation between Qingchen and Xiao Yi, and all the previous tacit understanding gradually faded, so he was ruthless, and the soft sword danced in his hand without leaking, blocking all of Xiao Yi's attacks.
Feng Xiran once said that if Ye Tingcheng is still there, then his martial arts are definitely more than that. This sentence is true, but it does not mean that without Ye Tingcheng, he Xiao Ling will become a waste who is nothing, and he has been practicing hard every day for the past year, and his skills are not the same as before.
The night seemed long and ethereal.
Downstairs in the city, the guards with different surnames Hou and the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are like bamboos, and these forbidden troops in the palace who are too comfortable to be comfortable are not their opponents at all, even with the help of the Gyeonggi Guard, they can't stand the strength of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
Luo Jin and Zhao Xu and Xiao Ling's dark guards were fighting in one place, one black and one Xuan, two figures disappeared in a group of dark guards wearing night clothes, and when Luo Jin was fighting with the dark guards, he rescued Zhao Yan who was disguised as Xiao Yi and let him join the battle group.
Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi were inseparable in mid-air, this was the second time the two brothers had fought each other, the first time was in the cold palace. Obviously, last time, neither of them did their best, and today, it is a battle of life and death.
Xiao Ling's soft sword was forged by the thousand-year-old cold iron on the Ice Saint Mountain, and the long sword in Xiao Yi's hand was obviously not ordinary, two cold lights intertwined in the air, making a piercing sound, and the powerful sword qi surrounded the two of them, and the robes and hair were windless, and everyone could not get close.
And Qingchen, who killed Zhang Jing, had already ignored the hustle and bustle around him, brandished the sword in his hand, and walked towards Ye Xi's corpse.
The cold aura on Qingchen's body and the murderous methods of Lisuo instantly forced many people back, but it didn't take long for these secret guards to surround him, trying to capture Qingchen.
