Volume 12 Chapter 7 (5)

There was a chill in the heart, and I couldn't help but start looking around, the new pavilion refers to the pavilion where everyone is feasting and drinking now, and also refers to the hill under the feet of everyone, this place was originally a high hill in the southwest of Jinling, its potential is dangerous and dangerous, after building the fortress, it can accommodate tens of millions of armor soldiers, and the north and south of Baixia City are opposite, all are the gateway of Jinling. Although Li Qianqian was born in the princely family, Shuzhong has been peaceful for many years, and has never seen soldiers killed, but after all, she is the daughter of the King of Han, and she is also a little familiar with the art of war. Li Qianqian's heart was cold, and she looked carefully at the surrounding guards, only to see that in addition to the guards carried by her own people, there were countless soldiers around, all of whom were brightly dressed and full of energy, faintly guarding everyone among them, at this time, Li Qianqian still didn't understand that the so-called farewell to the new pavilion was clearly a trap set for the Demon Emperor. Thinking about it carefully, Li Qianqian understood more and more, since the Demon Emperor made a wild statement, saying that no relevant forces were allowed to leave Jinling, but with how he alone stopped it, in the past, it was the Tang family who helped him to block the four realms, but now the Tang family has changed course and openly sent them off, if Yang Ning allows his people to leave, how can the Demon Emperor's prestige exist, where will anyone be afraid of the Demon Emperor? So the Demon Emperor will inevitably appear here today.

The terrifying thing about the Demon Emperor, although it lies in his terrible martial arts and ruthless temperament, but what makes these domineering overlords of the world the most jealous is his ability to come and go without a trace. With the Demon Emperor's peerless light skills, as long as no one is involved, if you really want to fight, you can go, only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves, no one wants to fall into the difficult dilemma of worrying about someone assassinating all the time, the only solution is to kill the Demon Emperor.

But if you want to get rid of the Demon Emperor, you must put him in a situation where you can't go back. Coupled with a considerable number of peerless masters, there is hope of success, otherwise even if the four great masters personally take action, they may not be able to forcibly keep him. Today's new pavilion meets these conditions. As long as there is still one of these people alive in the pavilion, it is impossible for the Demon Emperor to leave here, otherwise even if he can chase and kill along the way in the future, he will miss the last chance to find Qingping's whereabouts. If you don't chase and kill, you will lose your reputation, in short, let the Demon Emperor be in a dilemma, and the terrain here is dangerous. As long as troops are sent to surround them, it can be said that there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. The geography is perfect for mobbing. In addition, one emperor and three feudal clans are prestige for their own lives. It is impossible to show mercy to his subordinates, and he must do his best. Coupled with the Tang family's hidden force, it is enough to turn this feast, which was originally a feast, into a veritable Hongmen banquet.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Li Qianqian couldn't help but turn her head and look angrily at Li Su who was sitting at the bottom, she didn't expect him to tell herself the truth, Li Su looked calm, just shook it respectfully, but a look of ridicule flashed in her eyes, Li Qianqian's heart was cold, and she couldn't help but think, did her sister already plan to bury herself in Xinting? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more angry she became, she couldn't wait to immediately announce in a loud voice that Li Huanyu had robbed Qingping, but just as she was about to speak, the little maid who had been standing behind her suddenly pressed her back, Li Qianqian only felt a cold current from the vest to the eight veins of the Qi Jing, and then a tingling feeling poured into her limbs like a tide, Li Qianqian only felt that her mouth and tongue had lost her senses, let alone talking, and she couldn't even sit still. When Li Qianqian's delicate body was shaking, the maid suddenly reached out to hold her, and whispered closer to her ear: "The county lord doesn't need to be afraid, his subordinates will definitely protect the county lord and will not let the demon emperor hurt the county lord." While speaking, Cui Sleeves flicked lightly, just right to wipe away the tears that overflowed Li Qianqian's eyes. Although Li Qianqian's heart hurts, the Lingtai is clear, knowing that although the voice of this maid is low, others must be able to hear it, so that everyone thinks that they are afraid of the Demon Emperor and will lose their temper, and they definitely don't think that they will be held hostage by the maid, and sure enough, as soon as this sentence was finished, the eyes of several people who originally looked at it with a little doubt showed a look of relief. Li Qianqian was disheartened, and was involuntarily carried down by the maid, watching Li Sudi's back, and hearing Li Su explain to everyone: "The little county lord has been frightened for the past two days, and his health is not good, he must have drunk a few glasses of wine, and he was a little dizzy, His Royal Highness King Yu and Tang Shizi don't have to worry." In fact, everyone may not have noticed that something was wrong, but in their minds, Li Qianqian is the beloved daughter of the King of Han, and Li Su and others are subordinates of the King of Han, how could they hurt Li Qianqian, even if they noticed some abnormalities, they only thought that Li Su wanted to hide Li Qianqian in a safe place in the name of justice, even Tang Boshan did not let this little county lord get into danger, so they all turned a blind eye and did not ask about the maid's behavior.

After Li Qianqian left, there was silence in the banquet, even Li Qianqian could think of things, how could Yang Jun, Wu Cheng, Duan Yue, Lei Jianyun and others not think of it, but they were originally hidden in their hearts and didn't say it, but now they were provoked by Li Qianqian's words, so they were all silent, especially Wu Cheng and Lei Jianyun, who were even more uneasy in their hearts. Wu Cheng understands that this time Youji must make a move, otherwise he will fall into collusion with the Demon Emperor, but he can't really hurt Yang Ning, otherwise let alone Luo Chengyu's level, even Qiu Sheng next to him will not let go of himself, and it is not an easy thing to grasp the proportions properly, but it is a pity that Tang Boshan suddenly attacked, and before that, he was besieged by heavy troops, so that he had no way to pass on the news, if Yang Ning really threw himself into the net, what should he do. Compared with Wu Cheng, Lei Jianyun's idea was even simpler, he was already very afraid of Yang Ning, and he didn't have the courage to resist at all, as soon as he thought of turning from a secret ally to an enemy, he felt a chill in his vest, but Duan Yue was quite eager to try, which made him even more worried.

Yang Jun didn't feel good in his heart, but he had already had murderous intent towards Yang Ning, and this time he had discussed with Yan Zishuang in advance, so he was more calm, raised the golden bottle and said: "You don't have to worry, maybe the Demon Emperor won't appear today, although the Demon Emperor has a rebellious temperament, he should also be a smart person, how can he go straight to the tiger's den in Longtan? How can anyone dare to offend us people together?" Although he said briskly, everyone knew that Yang Jun was just comforting everyone, and they all smiled bitterly. thunder

is frowning, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "If the Demon Emperor is really not, he won't speak wildly, that day in Yueyang, even the prince of Yan Wang, the Demon Emperor dared to assassinate, I really don't know who is in this world." It was this Demon Emperor who didn't dare to make a move. ”

Wu Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Young Master Lei is right, as far as Wu knows, the Demon Emperor was really invincible when he was listening to the Tao Pavilion that day. Youji Yanshan Wei was besieged by more than a dozen masters, and let him get away calmly, I am afraid that we people are not enough for this demon emperor to kill. "Although I know it can't be. But he wanted to dispel Tang Boshan's extravagant hope of besieging and killing Yang Ning.

Tang Zhonghai originally didn't know that there was another purpose for this trip, and it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized, but he had no fear in his heart, he only felt that no matter how high Yang Ning's martial arts were. After all, he is also a person, how can he receive so many people to besiege him, let alone with his understanding of his brother. I'm afraid that the Tang family doesn't know how many masters are waiting nearby. After hearing Lei Jianyun and Wu Cheng's deflated words. couldn't help but sneered coldly: "Your courage is too small, don't say that the Demon Emperor is here." It can't withstand the siege of our people, and whether he dares to come or not is not certain. Originally, it was just a provocation, but after saying this, Tang Zhonghai only felt that it must be so, even the four great masters might not dare to appear in this situation, he didn't even dare to think about the feeling of becoming the target of the public, and he didn't believe that the Demon Emperor would really risk his life for the sake of a false name and a woman, and looked around, only to feel that everyone, including his brother, looked uneasy, and did not agree, and felt more and more resentful, and said loudly: "Sing another tune, don't be as sad as just now." ”

Hearing Tang Zhonghai's order, the sweet-looking girl was slightly stunned, she didn't order in advance, and she didn't prepare, but she didn't dare to refuse, and after a little thought, she motioned to the sisters behind her to play a song that she often practiced, and the music was raised, swaying in the wind, this time it was not Xiao Xiao's voice, but it was a deep and majestic voice, and the girl sang loudly: "The scenery of Jinling is good, and Haoshi gathers new pavilions." The mountains and rivers are different, and the feelings of the Zhou are hurt. The four sit in Chu and are sad, and they are not worried about the society. The prince is generous, and he has admired the name of the hero for thousands of years. (Note 2)~ Without any softness, everyone sighed when they heard it, and they all praised it continuously.

The singing is about to end, the wine is scattered, the time to set off has come, seeing that the demon emperor has not yet appeared, everyone is happy and happy, and some secretly regret it, Tang Boshan is not dragging mud and water, so he got up and prepared to send everyone off, unexpectedly he just stood up, I don't know where suddenly a wisp of singing sound, singing is also the last song that the girl sang, the person's singing voice is not excellent, and the syllables rarely change, but it is cold and high-pitched, like a steel needle piercing both ears, and like a thin line straight up to the sky, flexible, the song seems to come from all directions, far and near, ethereal and tortuous, people can't judge the direction of the person singing, only listened to two sentences, everyone changed color together, just because it was the voice of the Demon Emperor Yang Ning, but looking around, whether it was the mountain peaks in the distance or the boats on the river, there were no human figures, and there was no Demon Emperor at all.

Tang Zhonghai was the first to hold back and shouted: "Demon Emperor, what kind of hero is hiding to scare people, you have the ability to show up." ”

Yang Jun, Wu Cheng, Tang Boshan and the others all frowned slightly, feeling that Tang Zhonghai was too impatient, didn't he want to cover up? As soon as Tang Zhonghai's voice fell, a cold voice as ice and snow suddenly came from the crowd: "I have already come." ”

Everyone looked in shock, only to see a group of soldiers close to the cliff screaming and scattering, revealing a cold and upright slender figure, although that person was wearing the clothes and armor of a soldier, but his eyebrows were delicate and cold, but it was the Demon Emperor Yang Ning, although everyone guessed that he would definitely appear, but they never expected him to hide among the soldiers, thinking that most of everything was seen by the Demon Emperor, they were all shocked.

Yang Ning didn't take off his armor, but his arms shook, and the soft armor that could have resisted the sword turned into a butterfly and shook into thousands of pieces, perhaps for the convenience of the armor, he was only wearing a black suit, which made his figure look thin and thin, cold and arrogant, although this hand was perfect, it did not attract everyone's attention, and it was surprising that his placket was actually holding a bowl-sized red flower, like a peony, but not a peony. Someone who has a heart quickly recalled, this red flower was originally a wild flower growing on the cliff of Xinting, and he didn't expect to be held by Yang Ning's hairpin, without asking, Yang Ning climbed up from the cliff, and then silently subdued a soldier and changed his clothes, but no one noticed such a move, it really made people feel chilling when they thought about it, especially Lei Jianyun was the most frightened in his heart, in his opinion, today's Demon Emperor was ten times more terrible than when Yueyang Tower, and he didn't have the confidence to survive in the hands of such a Demon Emperor? Yang Jun and Tang Boshan both had ghosts in their hearts, and they were even more uneasy.

Yang Ning naturally didn't know everyone's thoughts, he just remembered that he was quite happy to kill people in the sergeants in Stone Town that day, so he repeated the old trick, as for the "Lingshuang Flower", it was he who remembered the old things when he and Qingping entered the city, and he saw things and thought about people, so he picked one and wore it on the placket, but after more than ten days, these red flowers have become much haggard, and they are more and more revealing the color of wind and frost, not as delicate as they were that day. As for whether such a move would expose what he had done in Stone City, as well as the path he would take to ascend to the new pavilion, Yang Ning had not considered it, these were not in his consideration originally, he was just here to kill people today, where would he think about so much. However, it was his unscrupulous actions that would make Tang Boshan, Yang Jun and others eliminate the last trace of suspicion.

It seemed to feel that most of everyone's eyes fell on his chest, Yang Ning looked down, but found that the red flower had been pressed by the armor for a long time, and it had been somewhat deformed, plus the sky was already bright, and it was illuminated by the bright sun for a while, and the petals that had already dried up in the morning dew began to wither a little, Yang Ning sighed lightly in his heart, picked the red flower, and took it with his hand, and the pieces of red fell away with the wind. It wasn't until the last residual red dissipated in front of him that Yang Ning raised his head, a pair of eyes blended with ice and fire slowly swept over everyone one by one, and only after a while did he say lightly: "Why don't you make a move?"
