Chapter 30: The Holy Stone Explodes!

said that the second princess Xiao Qingxue's shot made the audience change color in shock, only Li Ran looked calm, without a trace of waves.

"Second sister, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Lingqiu's face was cold, and he glared at the other party: "I warn you, this son is bullying the king, you dare to stand up for him, if the mother emperor knows, you can't please him." ”

After speaking, she turned to the audience and said coldly: "Quickly put this person in the prison of the Criminal Department and wait for trial!"

"Yes!"

The surrounding Jin Wuwei, who has always been a faction that is inclined to the eldest princess, saw that the lord personally ordered it, and they rushed forward one after another.

"I'll see who dares to move!"

Xiao Qingxue drew her sword out of the sheath, her body jumped into the air, and an invisible ice blue sword qi roared out, directly cutting off the spears of this group of guards, shocking the audience!

"Sister Fairy...... It's so beautiful...... White ......"

But said that Ma Wenjie in the distance was originally anxious for his sworn friend Li Ran, and when he saw Xiao Qingxue turning over and jumping into the air, his battle skirt rising with the wind, he suddenly feasted his eyes and threw out his saliva.

Of course, except for him, the rest of the people were stunned by this sword, and the audience was silent.

"Second sister, it's so majestic, I didn't expect to see you for half a year, you have already entered the Four Grades Great Perfection, and this 'Lingxue Swordsmanship' is even more perfect, and the battlefield is really a good place to exercise people. ”

Xiao Lingqiu sneered, his figure flashed, like a ghost, and he walked around behind Xiao Qingxue, his white arms oozed purple flames, and his palms clasped together!

Xiao Qingxue's face sank, she pinched the sword trick in her hand, and drew her sword to slash back!

Clanging !!

Heaven-shattering sounds.

The two powerful internal forces collided head-on, and the terrifying energy wave surged forward, spreading dozens of meters, and for a while, dust flew and sand and stones splattered!

Directly below the viewing platform, several "Jin Wuwei" were all first-class martial artists, but they were still forced to take a step back by this residual threat, the Guo family father and son and Chen Fu were exaggerated, and the three of them took off directly on the spot, shaking out a few meters away!

The old master Guo fell to the ground and vomited blood, and he was already half dead.

Suddenly, the wind and sand receded, and only two peerless beautiful men remained unmoved, unaffected.

It's North Li Nam Xie!

Needless to say, Xie Huan has a deep family history, his internal strength is broad and mellow, and his martial arts cultivation is faintly above Xiao Qingxue, and this bit of residual strength can't hurt his body at all.

But as for Li Ran, his operation is in a hurry.

As an immortal cultivator in the late stage, he can't hammer a martial artist in the early stage, but he has a lot of room for operation!

It turned out that just before this residual energy arrived, he used the True Yuan and used the "Wind Control Technique" to create a fast-flowing "True Qi Vortex" on his side, which directly absorbed all the incoming energy, and then directed it to the Guo family's father and son and others next to him.

"Second sister, just for the sake of this little white face, do you want to break your face with me in front of tens of thousands of subjects and hundreds of courtiers?"

Xiao Lingqiu said coldly.

"For him?"

Xiao Qingxue "cut" and said, "What is this kid, I just can't stand you bullying the fourth sister." ”

Xiao Lingqiu frowned and said, "When did I bully the fourth sister?"

"This kid...... Anyway, it's also the fourth sister's gentleman, you took advantage of the fourth sister's absence to target him wantonly, isn't that right?"

Xiao Qingxue said stiffly.

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Lingqiu snorted: "Second sister, no one knows you better than me, the reason why you help this kid come out is just to do it against me, right?"

"If you have to say that......" Xiao Qingxue put her sword back into the sheath, raised her fair and handsome face, and stuck out her tongue: "That's it." ”

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Lingqiu took a step forward and said coldly in a very low voice: "Listen, second sister, even if there must be a battle between you and me, it shouldn't be on this occasion, at this time! Worshipping the gods is a major event for the Xiao family, if you make such a move today, aren't you afraid that the mother emperor will blame you?"

"Alright. ”

Xiao Qingxue raised her eyebrows and said, "Eldest sister, we are not children anymore, please don't use the mother emperor to come out to pressure me, okay?" The mother emperor is smarter than you, if you really make trouble with her, whether this kid surnamed Li is guilty or not, she has a clear judgment in her heart. ”

"Don't be naïve, now that the evidence is conclusive and witnessed by thousands of people, this kid is speechless and destined to die!"

Xiao Lingqiu paused, and then said: "Second sister, I know you have an opinion on me, okay, I won't interfere in this matter, leave it to Zhang Xiang to deal with, you have no opinion, right?"

"The evidence is conclusive?"

Xiao Qingxue laughed, and suddenly looked at Li Ran in the audience: "Hey, this Li ...... Xiao Lizi, did you hear that? Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess said that you were bullying the king, do you want to struggle for a while?"

Li Ran saw that the time had come, and hurriedly said: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, the minister has never done anything to deceive His Majesty, the day before yesterday, the song "Goddess Fu" in the court was written by himself, if it is not true, he is willing to be thundered by the sky!"

"In addition, Her Royal Highness the second princess of Qiqi, the minister's name is Li Ran, not Xiao Lizi. Li Ran thought about it, and still added very seriously.

"Okay, okay, little Lizi, according to His Royal Highness, the so-called manuscript of the Guo family's father and son is indeed likely to be faked, but how do you explain the testimony of your old butler?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingxue instinctively glanced at Zhang Ningfu, although she didn't buy her eldest sister's account, she was still a little in awe of the imperial prime minister.

Although she is free and uninhibited by nature, she is not stupid.

Her current strength is still not enough to break face with this powerful minister and the gate valve group behind him.

"Zhang Xiang, do you want to ...... You're going to interrogate him again?"

Xiao Qingxue asked.

Zhang Ningfu shook his head with a smile: "Since the second princess thinks that this Li Ran has grievances, you can interrogate it in person, and the old minister can listen to it." ”

"Zhang Xiang, you ......" Hearing this, Xiao Lingqiu was dumbfounded.

It's still this old man, just stay out of the matter, and the two don't help each other.

Li Ran saw some fame on the side.

At this point, it is impossible for this matter not to enter the ears of the empress, he quits now, no matter what he Li Ran's ending is today, and what the empress's reaction will be in the future, it has nothing to do with him Zhang Ningfu, he is just a loyal servant who enforces the law impartially and is caught between two princesses, in a dilemma.

Old fox.

It's worth learning.

Li Ran sighed in his heart.

He pondered for a while, stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, Chen Fu harbored evil intentions and was used by others to frame me, but the matter has come to this point, except for this frank and innocent heart, there is indeed no direct evidence to prove his innocence. ”

Speaking of this, he waved his sleeve robe, pointed to the holy tattoo stone in front of him, and said: "The minister asked himself that his life was bright and fair, and the heavens and the earth could be learned, but now he has been trapped by a traitor, and he can't prove his innocence, which is really painful and helpless——"

"Since the father and son of the Guo family and this Chen Fu questioned the minister's poetry and writing skills, the minister simply asked the holy stone as a witness, and improvised a poem, if he could not prove the approval of the divine stone, the minister was willing to confess his guilt, and proved my innocence with my blood!

He said this generously and tragically, and his blood was surging, and the people, officials, and guards around him were all moved by grief.

Li Ran looked at the red sun in the other world on the horizon, and had mixed feelings.

This time...... It's a half-truth, he still plays with some true feelings......

After all, it's a battle of life and death.

Either famous in the world, or in a different place.

It's fucking exciting.

Ma Wenjie has never seen a dead friend like this, and at this moment, he didn't even look at the fairy sister, crying profusely, if his father Ma Feng was here, he would definitely risk being flattened and beg him for help.

"Don't think about it, how can a person who wears a sin insult the holy stone!"

A categorical voice came, it was the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu!

Everyone present knew that the eldest princess was the one in control of the situation of this worship sacrifice after all, and if she didn't let go and nodded today, Li Ran's request would still be pending.

As soon as Xiao Lingqiu's words came out, a heated discussion broke out in the audience, and there was a faint voice of resentful opposition outside the square.

The honor of Shangshu Wen of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Ran's father have been in a superior-subordinate relationship for many years, at this moment, seeing that his nephew was in prison, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to make his debut:

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Li Shaoqing and I have known each other for 20 years, his eldest son's character, the old man couldn't be clearer, although this child is lively and fun, but he is simple by nature, and he will definitely not make mistakes on the issue of right and wrong, as for Li Shaoqing himself, it is impossible to steal poetry!"

Li Ran saw it in his eyes, and was moved and surprised, this Wen Zhirong Wenbo, he still knows better, he is a conservative civil official, politically inclined to Zhang Ningfu and the eldest princess, but he is not as radical as Ma Feng.

At this time, it is not easy for him to stand up for himself and beg the eldest princess.

"Big sister...... Sister, I ......"

The third princess, Xiao Yanshuang, also pouted, and stopped talking.

"Third sister, even you have to question your sister and think this kid is innocent?" Xiao Lingqiu's eyes flashed with a trace of pain.

"I just think...... You can give him one more chance. Xiao Yanshuang said timidly.

"Thank you, third princess, may the third princess live a long life and be beautiful forever. Li Ran put his hands together sincerely.

"Oh...... Well, come on......" Xiao Yanshuang blushed and lowered her head.

"Eldest sister, look at it, even the third sister has begged you, do you still want to make a desperate bet?"

Xiao Qingxue stretched lazily: "Hey, I suddenly miss the fourth sister, if that little demon king is here, today's situation will be much more interesting." ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia. ”

At this moment, a cool, magnetic, and extremely pleasant voice came.

A graceful young man in white walked in the wind, jumped onto the viewing platform, bowed down and said: "The minister also thinks that this matter is too suspicious, since this Li Ran has the confidence to stimulate his talent and touch the Holy Pattern Stone, it is better to let him try, if he can't make earth-shattering poems, then his plagiarism and deception are real, let's condemn him again, it's not too late, in addition——"

Xie Huan paused and whispered, "You can also explain to Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Lingqiu's body was shocked, and he looked at the long-admired young man in front of him in a daze, and fell into deep thought.

It did go to her heart.

No matter how many people she has in the court, no matter how strong her strength is, whenever the woman on the throne lives for a day, she has to be jealous.

"That's it, Li Ran, since you are so confident, then let you give it a try!" Xiao Lingqiu gritted his teeth and said: "The karma of your sin, I believe that God will have a judgment!"

"Jun Shilang - Li Ran, start the quiz!"

"Holy Stone, please!"

As soon as Wen Zhirong heard this, he immediately rushed to the high platform and personally beat the drum to eulogize, for fear that the eldest princess would change her words.

"Thanks, Wenber. ”

Li Ran saw it in his eyes, and a burst of warmth surged in his heart.

He immediately looked behind him, Ma Wenjie had already cried under the parasol into a fat man of two hundred catties, he raised his hands and raised his middle finger at him, just because Li Ran told him that this was the meaning of encouragement......

and the encouraging, eager, but unfamiliar eyes around the square, all of which were devoted to him at the moment......

Even Xie Huan's little white face is not so hateful at this time.

For the first time, he had a tangible feeling......

He is alive.

Truly live in this world, joy or joy, life or death.

Damn, it's not dead yet, when did Lao Tzu become so hypocritical.

Li Ran smiled bitterly in his heart.

But he really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

After all, success or failure in life and death is a matter of one move, and anyone will be careful of their livers, right?

At this moment, he suddenly thought about it.

He didn't care so much if he could turn the tables on the Jedi, he just wanted to read the poem.

This poem suddenly popped into his mind and he couldn't wait to express it!

A perfect fit for his current state of mind!

As for who the author is and what the name of the poem is, he can't remember clearly.

He simply remembered these four awesome verses, and of course, the "requirement to recite the whole poem" in the Chinese textbook that year.

Finally, under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in the audience, Li Ran came to stand in front of the Holy Pattern Stone step by step.

He looked at the stands with a rebellious expression, like a princess of a big winner, and then looked at the murderous guards around him, smiled calmly, and said:

"Thousands of hammers have been carved out of the mountains, and the fire is burned as if it were idle. 」

"Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. 」

There is no pretense of sensationalism, subdued and frustrated, he is in a casual mood, and he speaks eloquently.

The whole poem is written.

Li Ran only felt unprecedented openness and relaxation.

It's a pity that this good poem written by I don't know which big guy didn't arouse the spiritual resonance of the Holy Stone......

If you count it, you can't force it.

Li Ran shrugged.

The people in the audience didn't care, but the big winners on the stage raised their eyebrows.

"Come on, put this deceitful and arrogant person on death row, and wait for His Highness to personally and the criminal department to be executed after the final trial!"

Xiao Lingqiu couldn't wait to get up and said.

The next second-

Bang!

In an instant, the red glow covered the sky, and the golden light on the horizon was magnificent, like a miracle was about to appear!

The audience was shocked!

The square of tens of thousands of people is silent, and the needles can be heard!

"Sister Xue, look over there!"

Xiao Yanshuang's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she dragged Xiao Qingxue on the side.

Xiao Qingxue looked at it as she said, and saw that on the eastern skyline, a golden rainbow like a divine dragon was roaring in the direction of the square!

No, it's towards Li Ran!

"What's that?" Xiao Qingxue said.

"Talent! That's the embodied talent from heaven!"

Zhang Ningfu's old face trembled with excitement, and he ran a few steps to the east: "After thirty years, the old man has finally seen the talent from the sky again! No, this time, it is even more majestic than the time of the first emperor!"

Wen Zhirong and other civil officials were also excited, and tears filled their eyes!

Xiao Lingqiu looked at the sky in a daze, and his face was even more complicated.

At the same time, the golden rainbow on the horizon has completely converged into essence and gathered around Li Ran!

At this time, Li Ran, dressed in red, was surrounded by a fire dragon, looking at him as if the god of fire had descended to earth, which was terrifying!

Li Ran was also shocked in his heart, and at this time, the Holy Pattern Stone in front of him let out a piercing low sound, opening a huge crack, and the crack continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Bang!

After an earth-shattering bang, under the witness of tens of thousands of Great Xuan People, the Holy Pattern Stone completely exploded and turned into powder!

"Turtle turtle, this is an explosion?
