Could it be that Huo Qingkong is really dead?

Could it be that the emperor's life is really irreversible? No matter how he saves it, he will return to his original destiny trajectory?

He obviously gained a huge amount of merit, which made the sword of the Son of Heaven soar, since the merit has increased, it should have changed the fate of the emperor, why did he die again?

Yuan Ziyan appeared in Tianjing's Nanwang Mansion in a flash, floated into the sky and scanned Nanwangfu, and saw two middle-aged men wandering in front of the hall of Nanwangfu.

It was already late at night, and under the bright moonlight, two middle-aged men frowned, walking around, anxious and overflowing.

"Who are you?" Yuan Ziyan landed lightly in front of the two.

The two of them were startled, and then they saw Yuan Ziyan's beautiful and vulgar face, and hurriedly clenched their fists: "Miss Yuan!"

Yuan Ziyan glanced at the two of them, the grandmaster was only.

"Miss Yuan, we are a subordinate of King Hua's Mansion, and we are here to wait for King Nan!"

"Looking for my master?"

"Yes. ”

"Why don't you just arraign?"

"His Royal Highness summoned the message, but His Royal Highness the King of the South did not reply. ”

“...... Oh, maybe the old man is busy. Yuan Ziyan thought that it was possible to fight with Shenlin Peak at that time.

"I hope Miss Yuan will help, please ask His Royal Highness King Nan to come. ”

"What's the matter with His Royal Highness King Hua?"

"This ......" The two hesitated, showing embarrassed looks: "Miss Yuan, I don't know." ”

"I want to see His Royal Highness King Hua. Yuan Zi flute.

"His Royal Highness is in the palace, and it is inconvenient to see each other. ”

"Then I'll go into the palace to see His Royal Highness King Hua. ”

"Now the palace is strictly forbidden, the gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"Then how can the master get in?"

"His Royal Highness King Hua has already explained to the city gate officials, once His Royal Highness King Nan arrives, he will be released directly. ”

"Hmph, I can't get in, can I?"

"Miss Yuan, forgive me. ”

“...... Well, I'll go and ask the master to come. Yuan Ziyan already knew it, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

The next moment appeared in the sky, looking down on the palace from afar.

The palace is enveloped in torches, which at first glance look like a ring of fire.

The palace was brightly lit, but nothing could be seen clearly, and the palace shrouded everything in it, and the eyes could not penetrate.

She pursed her red lips and faintly felt the tension, so she disappeared into the void in a flash, and the next moment she had returned to Li Chengkong.

"How?" Li Chengkong sat up straight in the small pavilion and put down his wine glass.

"His Royal Highness King Hua has already sent you a summons to your lord. ”

Li Chengkong frowned, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, which had turned black, obviously calling for something urgent.

It's a pity that he has been fighting fiercely, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in this messenger under the tension of his heart palpitations.

"Master, martial law in the forbidden palace, something should have happened!"

"Well, I'll go for it then. ”

"Otherwise, let's go together," Dugu Shuming said in a low voice, "It's better to have a discussion about everything." ”

Li Chengkong shook his head: "You have to guard here, Qinglan, you stay here, let Ziyan go with me." ”

“...... It's good. Dugu shook his head.

Zhennan City really needs to be guarded by itself.

Li Chengkong swept across the night sky, like a shadow in the moonlight, and left silently.

Yuan Ziyan was not in a hurry to leave, he only needed to move a void to the Nanwang Mansion in Tianjing.

——

Li Chengkong appeared outside the palace.

The torches were blazing, shining with the golden armor, and the soldiers with cold and gloomy faces lined up along the palace walls, so heavily guarded that even flies could not fly in.

As soon as Li Chengkong appeared, several soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the cold light was even stronger, pointing at Li Chengkong at the same time.

Li Chengkong said calmly: "I am Li Chengkong, the king of the south. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of the South, please!" a middle-aged man in a blue robe waved his hand, asked the sergeants to put down their swords, and hugged their fists and said, "Under Zhongyuan." ”

This middle-aged man is burly, with a lion's nose and tiger eyes, and he is imposing.

Li Chengkong clenched his fists.

He had seen this Zhong Yuan, it was the Hidden Dragon Flying Guard.

"Please ——!" Zhong Yuan turned around.

"Bang bang bang!" the palace door sounded several muffled sounds, and several mechanisms were opened.

"Boom!" there was a louder muffled sound, and the ground trembled.

The "squeak——!" door shaft turned, and the screeching sound resounded through the night sky.

The bowl-sized copper nails on the palace gate were lined one by one, flickering in the moonlight, exuding a solemn momentum.

A crack slowly emerged from the palace gate.

Li Chengkong knew that these copper nails were secretly set up and could kill people at any time.

Zhong Yuan stretched out his hand to please, leading the way, and the two squeezed in through the gap.

"Squeak——!" screeched.

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The palace door was closed again.

Li Chengkong turned his head to take a look.

Zhong Yuan said: "Your Highness, please!"

Li Chengkong nodded and didn't speak, and went straight to the outside of the Duanhe Palace, frowning, and his eyes were in a mess.

From a hundred meters outside the hall, the ground began to be pitted, and although it was restored to cleanliness, it failed to remove the blood stains.

Bloody faintly floated in the air.

The doors and windows of the end and the hall are broken, the walls are scratched everywhere, there is the depth of the index finger, and the three layers of steps outside the hall are cracked like spider webs.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, King Nan has arrived!" Zhong Yuan stood outside the main hall and said in a deep voice.

"Nanwang come in!" Huo Tiange's hoarse voice came from inside.

Li Chengkong lifted the curtain and entered.

On a low couch, Huo Qingkong was lying horizontally, his face was pale, and his body was draped in brocade, as if he had fallen asleep.

Li Chengkong knew that Huo Qingkong was already a corpse.

Huo Tiange knelt down in front of Huo Qingkong and looked at Li Chengkong eagerly.

Li Chengkong came to Huo Qingkong and stretched out his hand, it was soft and tough, but there was no temperature, and it was cold and piercing.

"Nanwang...... , Father and Emperor He ......" Huo Tiange's eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, and he was dazed and helpless: "He was stabbed to death." ”

"Divine Arrival?"

"It's the master of the Divine Peak!" Huo Tiange nodded lightly: "I didn't expect my father to really ......"

Li Chengkong said: "What about Lord Gao Shougao?"

"Father-in-law Gao blocked a fatal blow for his father, and his bones were shattered, but it's a pity that he ......" Huo Tiange gritted his teeth: "I still couldn't save my father!"

Li Chengkong said calmly: "The prince must have an edict, right?"

"Yes. Huo Tiange nodded lightly: "My father has already told me where the edict is, and I can take it out and take the throne." ”

"Then take your seat. Li Cheng said emptyly.

"But I ......" Huo Tiange was dazed and empty-hearted.

He had thought about the situation of ascending the throne countless times, but none of them were like this, and he never expected that Huo Qingkong would be assassinated.

Li Chengkong said: "The deceased is gone, the enemyity of the former emperor, I have to avenge His Royal Highness, it is useless to grieve in vain, and the emperor does not have a long life!"

"But I don't know what to do. Huo Tiange sighed: "I have no clue, I don't know how to deal with the government." ”

Li Chengkong said: "Everything is done according to the original regulations, first focus on stability, wait to be familiar with it later, and then it is not too late to show your own revenge and ideas, if Your Highness is in trouble, it is incumbent on the south!"

"With your words, King Nan, I will be relieved. Huo Tiange breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Then the emperor will succeed to the throne as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night. Li Chengkong said: "The first step is to control the Youlong Mansion. ”

"Yes, yes, take control of the Dragon Mansion. Huo Tiange's spirits lifted.

He was panicked just now, and suddenly remembered that there were still two princes in the Youlong Mansion, both of whom were qualified to turn over and ascend to the throne.

"The second step is to summon the auxiliary minister, take out the edict, and then announce it tomorrow when you go to court. Li Chengkong said: "Let's invite Master Zongzheng into the palace first." ”

"Yes, please invite the third uncle to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation!" Huo Tiange nodded hurriedly.

Tang Guang ordered one order after another.

Li Chengkong stretched out his hand to pull away the brocade jacket and saw that there was a bloody hole in Huo Qingkong's chest, and his heart was gone.

Li Chengkong's face changed slightly: "What about the heart?"

"It's been ripped off by the assassins!" Huo Tiange showed a look of hatred: "Damn it!"

"Did the assassin catch him?"

"Fled. ”

Li Chengkong's face was as gloomy as iron.

His relationship with Huo Qingkong is complicated, both hostile and cooperative, both contemptuous and respectful, despising him as a person and respecting his identity.

The same owner of the Sword of the Son of Heaven in the world was actually taken off his heart, which is simply a great shame.
