Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Emperor Dies

Yue Weiming put his arms around Mei Ji's delicate shoulders and said gently, "Don't go, okay, stay with me!"

Mei Ji leaned into Yue Weiming's arms, and said softly: "This is what I have always wanted, even if you take me to the end of the world, I am willing, but if I want to take refuge in the Shuntian King who tried to kill my father, I will not agree to it anyway!"

Yue Weiming was displeased when he heard this, and said: "Isn't the emperor also a murderer? In his early years, he single-handedly founded the Red Silk Guard, and how many loyal and good people did he kill? In the past, my righteous brother and I fought the world for him, and fought in the south and the north, how many meritorious deeds did we make? He sent someone to kill his righteous brother just because of suspicion, is this kind of person also worth your life for him?"

Seeing that Yue Weiming was angry, Mei Ji begged: "Don't say it, okay? You and I are our own masters, and Mei Ji is also very bitter in her heart!"

Yue Weiming realized that his tone was too heavy, and he hurriedly said slowly: "Mei Ji, I'm afraid that you won't be able to explain to them when you go back!"

Mei Ji snorted disdainfully and said, "With that fast sword, Yao Zhiyuan still doesn't dare to ask me so many questions." King Shuntian rebelled, and the emperor was suspicious of the other three vassal kings, I think if you don't kill the king of Hainan, his son Prince Qing will rebel sooner or later!"

Yue Weiming gently pushed Mei Ji away and said, "In this case, you should go back first, so as not to arouse suspicion after a long time." I'm not going to leave here for a while, come to me when you want me!"

Maggie nodded in agreement, and reluctantly turned around.

Chai Shaoning saw Mei Ji's face at this time, although she didn't know her real age, but with her extraordinary skills, she should at least be an old woman with fifty or sixty years of cultivation. However, the face of the charm in front of her looks like a doll, pure and lovely, like a little girl of sixteen or seventeen! It's just that the two eyes are as misty as rain, and with that pretty face, it seems to be extremely disproportionate, but it seems to be extremely commensurate, giving people a strange temptation!

Soon, Mei Ji disappeared into the rainy night, and Yue Weiming also returned to the house.

Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci knew from the conversation between the two that Yue Weiming's purpose for coming here, and they also knew that this person's skill was so high that he was definitely above the two, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and decided to go back to the Horse Mansion to discuss with Bai Feiyu before making the next step!

Taking advantage of the rustling sound of the drizzle as a cover, the two men quietly withdrew from the manor and returned to the Horse Mansion. However, there is still a street away from the Horse Mansion, and I heard the people in front of me shouting and neighing, and there were officers and soldiers with knives and guns everywhere, surrounding the entire Horse Mansion!

"What's going on?" Xue Nianci was taken aback, and when she couldn't help but ask, there was a cry at the end of the passage ahead, and a team of officers and soldiers holding torches and escorting a group of prisoners appeared from the T-junction, and soon disappeared on the other side of the intersection.

Despite being far away, Xue Nianci still recognized the figures of those people, who were the servants of the Horse Mansion!

The two men were shocked, and quickened their pace to the intersection, just as they saw a troop of horses following behind the criminals.

Xue Nianci saw at a glance his father Bai Feiyu, who was pale and sitting on a horse, surrounded by cavalry. Following behind Bai Feiyu were Shen Rong and Song Yuanlan.

Shen Rong looked angry, and his right arm was wounded, apparently stabbed while resisting. Song Yuanlan was only wearing a robe, probably carried out in a dream, sitting on the horse with distracted eyes and looking at the people around her in fear, her body trembling in the cold rain of early spring.

Xue Nianci drew her long sword and rushed into the middle of the road and shouted, "Stop! Why are you arresting people?"

The officers and soldiers on the road suddenly saw Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci appear, and said in a big confusion: "Come on, the assassin is here!"

"Hula" sounded, and people and horses from all directions surrounded them, trapping Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci in the middle of the road.

As soon as Bai Feiyu saw her daughter appearing, and she was still wearing a night suit, she was so anxious that she shouted: "Lu'er, go quickly, the emperor was stabbed to death, this matter is no longer clear!"

When Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci heard this, they were all stunned in disbelief.

Although it is said that Mei Ji arrived in Beppu, the king of Hainan, there are still two masters of ghost shadow and night wandering god around the emperor, and the Ouchi guards are waiting for him, how did the assassin sneak into the palace?

A general beside Bai Feiyu sneered, drew his sword on the horse and pressed Bai Feiyu's neck and said, "Where are you going?"

Before the general's words fell, a white light appeared in front of him, and his right hand holding the sword flew out with the long sword.

"Ahh

At this moment, the scene was in chaos.

Another general beside Song Yuanlan drew his sword and was about to hurt someone, but unexpectedly, there was a flower in front of him, and Song Yuanlan was nowhere to be seen.

If Xue Nianci grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and under the authority of the court, he suddenly encountered officers and soldiers arresting people, most of them did not dare to resist rashly, and instinctively chose to flee, so the general threatened Bai Feiyu's life and wanted to leave the other party.

However, how did these officers and soldiers know that Xue Nianci not only had extremely high martial arts, but also practiced with his master in Huashan, and he had no good impression of the government at all, so that Xue Nianci was caught off guard, and the entire team was in chaos due to the injury of the commander.

Xue Nianciqi attacked successfully, and was about to take her father away, when suddenly a sword intent aggravated on her side, blocking all her retreats in an instant.

Xue Nianci was taken aback, and before she had time to hug her father, her long sword spun and stabbed towards the center of the sudden cold light.

Chai Shaoning arrived first, faster than Xue Nianci, and hugged Song Yuanlan and jumped onto the roof next to the road.

However, before his feet touched the ground, a cold wind came from the vest, and a sharp sword pursued him silently.

Chai Shaoning was shocked, stepped on the tile surface with his feet, and flew out with Song Yuanlan on his side.

It's just that the cold wind behind him is like a shadow, and Ren Chai Shaoning has never been able to get rid of the other party even by transforming into a method.

Chai Shaoning suffered a loss in his arms and hugged Song Yuanlan, unable to take the time to draw his sword. Under repeated distress, his body was forced to run straight out like an arrow from the string, and he wanted to get out of danger with his best light skills!

At this moment, the figure in front of him suddenly appeared, and suddenly let Chai Shaoning go, and with a "ding" sound of two swords, he intercepted the enemy behind.

Chai Shaoning secretly exhaled a breath of cold air, and when he looked back, it was Ouyang Yu who rushed over when he heard the sound and exchanged hands with a man in black!

The man in black had a black scarf on his face, his body was very muscular, his movements were as agile and swift as a leopard, and a sword danced flutteringly, blending with the drizzle, and he could no longer tell where the rain was and where was the sword?

Needless to say, this man must be one of the top masters at the emperor's side: one of the ghosts and the night wanderers.

These two men have lost the emperor, and of course they want to come out to seek revenge on the assassins and wash away their shame.

The person who fought with Bai Lu on the other side was also in black clothes and black scarves, and his body was thinner than the man in black here, but his swordsmanship was the same.

The two of them were like lightning, coming and going suddenly, entangled Xue Nianci and Ouyang Yu couldn't distinguish between the rest of the people, if it weren't for Shen Rong seeing Miss appear, he was overjoyed and suddenly became troubled, and snatched the sword of a general next to him to protect Bai Feiyu, at this time, he was afraid that he would have been captured by the officers and soldiers again.

However, being outnumbered, Shen Rong and Bai Feiyu were in crisis again in the blink of an eye!

Chai Shaoning was almost cornered by the sturdy man in black, and at this time, he relieved himself, his heart was furious, he drew his sword and swept back, and slashed straight down according to the other party.

The black-clothed man and Ouyang Yu were evenly matched, and suddenly saw Chai Shaoning rushing back, and when he was about to dodge, he found that Chai Shaoning's swordsmanship was natural, enveloping all the vitality around him, and no matter where he hid, he couldn't avoid the power of that blow.

The man in black was shocked and let out a low "ah", the long sword trembled, and the sword flowers that shook out were like a drizzle, and while eliminating Ouyang Yu's offensive, he held Chai Shaoning's long sword with great skill.

"When" sounded, the man in black shook violently, and no longer dared to fight against these two masters at the same time, with the power of the impact swept out like a rain, and when he passed by his companion's side, he slashed back towards Xue Nianci, the movement was fast and urgent, clean and neat.

However, he is fast, and Chai Shaoning is not slower than him. While the body was shocked and paused, the long sword still stabbed out for the second time, the tip of the sword "hissed", the sword qi came out of the sword, and the flying dragon rushed forward, shaking the oblique rain within a radius of a few feet, like opening a rain curtain to chase behind the man in black.

The man in black no longer expected that Chai Shaoning's skill had reached the realm where he could trigger sword qi, and he was shocked to pick up the long sword, and the action slowed down suddenly, and the rain drifted nearby, and it turned into a wisp of mist and hung on the tip of the sword, as if picking up a blister to meet Chai Shaoning's sword qi.

With a "poof" sound, Chai Shaoning's sword qi dissipated, and the fog bubble at the tip of the black-clothed man's sword also burst, and the whole person was shocked and accelerated to pass over Xue Nianci's side, and he could no longer pose a threat to Xue Nianci.

Both sides were taken aback. Although the man in black was shocked by Chai Shaoning's sword qi, Chai Shaoning also knew at this time that his sword qi was not invincible, and its strength and weakness still depended on the level of his own skills. However, being able to hit the enemy in the air outside the zhang has given Chai Shaoning an excellent line of defense with great lethality than ordinary people.

The black-clothed man who was the enemy of Xue Nianci flashed out of the corner of his eyes, and just saw his companion flying out in a hurry, thinking that he was injured by Chai Shaoning's sword qi, and was startled, Xue Nianci's sword light in the sky suddenly dissipated, and even made the black-clothed man feel empty and nowhere to focus, and under the shock, a little cold light appeared silently in front of him, and in an instant, the light reappeared, and Feng nodded and pecked at the door.

Even Chai Shaoning and Ouyang Yu, who rushed over, already thought that the other party could not avoid Xue Nianci's stunt, but the tip of the sword of the man in black flashed out of thin air like a drizzle, splashing Xue Nianci's long sword with a "ding", and then the thin body flew out with the help of "exhalation", leaving a string of ghost shadows in a line under the light of the torches held by the surrounding officers and soldiers!

Chai Shaoning, Ouyang Yu, and Xue Nianci were all shocked.

The wind and rain drifting sword technique rolled up a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes back then, and it really has its own uniqueness.

Shen Rong over there was no match for the swords of the surrounding horse teams, and just when he thought that he could not be spared, his body suddenly lightened, and he was thrown into the air and fell to the roof of the roadside. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Xue Nianci was already standing beside him with Bai Feiyu.
