Chapter 38: Frame-up by Design

"My father was killed by Ling Mengchen's dog thief before I was born, and my mother even shielded my father-killing enemy, if it wasn't for the person in the mirror to tell me the truth, I might have felt that I jumped out of a stone for the rest of my life!" "Hua Wangqiu's voice trembled a little because of emotion, "And you turned out to be his master, I will make you disappear from this world forever today!"

After that, Hua Wangqiu lifted the armor and weapon strengthening mode of the body protection spirit ball, and as the armor outside the body recondensed into a ball, the short dagger that originally pierced the four-story wall also fell, she immediately stood up, hooked the falling dagger with the tip of her left foot, and stretched out her small hand to catch it, but at this moment, someone grabbed the short dagger first.

Playing with the familiar short dagger in his hand, the middle-aged male puppet actually smiled kindly, "You are too short, you should eat more vegetables and fruits, and grow up quickly!"

Ignoring Hua Wangqiu's angry gaze, the middle-aged male puppet stretched out a finger and lightly touched the latter's eyebrows, "Tell me the ins and outs, otherwise you will die!"

The middle-aged male puppet put away his smile, and his voice was cold and ruthless, as if he would do it immediately if he wanted to say it!

"Hey, Yan Yuan, his grandson, surrender, otherwise he will die!" The middle-aged male puppet looked back at the young man who was fighting fiercely with Xiao Bo and said, his other hand made a seal, and the golden rope used by Qingtian appeared in his hand, "Tie it up!"

The rope seemed to be able to understand human words, and instantly tied the flower to a strong knot.

"Old thing, you dare to tie up your aunt and grandmother!" said in unison the panicked Hua Wangqi and the real Yan Yanyan.

Seeing that the middle-aged male puppet instantly subdued a person, Ai Wan'er's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Uncle Wanfeng killed her!"

The middle-aged male puppet known as the evening breeze seemed to ignore Ai Wan'er's order, but instead held Hua Wangqiu in his hand, staring at her face carefully, his brows raised slightly.

"It's strange, you're the daughter of Red Sleeves, your father isn't that stinky boy from Ling Mengchen, I don't understand, aren't they engaged?" muttered Evening Breeze.

Seeing that Hua Wangqiu was captured, Ember Burning hurriedly picked up the crossbow machine, injected his own unique elemental power, and turned on the burst mode to shoot at Xiao Bo.

Xiao Bo was not in a hurry, lifted the long sword, and said in a low voice, "Ten Thousand Sword Technique, Seven Defensive Sword Formation!"

Wan Jian Jue is Xiao Bo's most proficient offensive and defensive swordsmanship essence technique, there are three modes, the first is a complete defense sword formation, the long sword in his hand changes out of ten thousand afterimages, protecting all the vital points around the body, resisting all physical forms of attacks, the breadth of defense increases with the promotion of his own cultivation, Emperor Yuan's cultivation is he, he can defend all the vital points of the body except for the back spine, anus, back of the head, and neck.

Facing the enemy head-on, he used this trick, and he was confident that the string of crossbow arrows burning in the embers would definitely not be able to help him.

When Hua Wangqiu couldn't hold his breath and wreaked havoc on the four puppets to destroy the puppet formation, Xiao Bo had already tried to fight with Ember Burning in close quarters, and he found that this Ember Burning didn't seem to be good at hand-to-hand combat, and every time he approached with an unhindered step, the other party did not fight against him, but chose to jump sideways or retreat to distance himself, and then attack his vital points with crossbow arrows.

Xiao Bo flicked away with his sword every time he avoided the vital point, or used the unhindered step to flash to the ember burning behind him and stabbed a sword, under the blessing of the Three Realms, the latter's dodge every time was extremely slow in his eyes, so every time the blade of the sword would hurt his flesh and skin, but that's all, because the latter could always avoid the vital point in the moment of the sword, and it looked like he was covered in injuries, but none of them were fatal.

When Xiao Bo saw that Hua Wangqiu had been captured, he didn't want to save his essence, so he used the seven-sided defensive sword formation of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, ready to withstand the flamed crossbow arrows, forcing him to give up the idea of long-range attack, and quickly split the victory and defeat with his own close quarters, at this time he felt that he had won the battle.

"Boy, I'm tired of your crossbow arrow attacks, I don't swing my sword to block arrows now, you have the ability to break my absolute defenses!" Xiao Bo smiled easily as he stood behind the sword array barrier.

Unexpectedly, Ember didn't respond to him, but slowly walked towards the puppet named Evening Wind.

"Xiao Bo, I can't even mention the mood to come up with a unique skill for you. There was no fluctuation in Yan Yan's tone, as if in his understanding, as long as he wanted to, he could use his real skills to clean up Xiao Bo at any time.

In fact, in addition to shooting elemental crossbow arrows, he did not use any essence techniques, but completely relied on dodging to defuse Xiao Bo's attack, although he had no less than thirty large and small openings all over his body.

"Hmph, you will pay for your arrogance!" Xiao Bo's defensive sword formation around his body did not put away, but formed another seal in the array, only to see Xiao Bo as the center, symbolizing the blue and red elements of wind and fire The light is intertwined, the wind borrows the fire, the fire borrows the power of the wind, and it rises straight into the sky at a rapid speed, tearing and igniting the flowing clouds above the sky, and a giant sword composed of wind and fire elements appears in the air, and the sword peak trembles slightly with Xiao Bo's breathing rhythm, as if it will be split in the air at any time!

At this moment, the people of the whole Changchun city looked at the blue and red two-color pillar of light that rushed to the sky from Xiao Mansion, and saw the giant sword in the sky, and the discussion was endless.

"Cripple Feng, what's wrong with Xiao Mansion today?"

"Fool Zhang, don't you know? This morning, two madmen killed four subordinates of the prime minister's family, and challenged the prime minister, the prime minister is to avenge his subordinates!"

"Cripple Feng, just talk nonsense! As if you have seen it, this is clearly the peerless essence technique of the prime minister teaching the two sons!"

"Shut up, Wang Fatzi, you're just talking nonsense! The two sons live in the school, who does the prime minister teach?"

"Li Mazi, you're not right, I heard that the second son ran home just now, and he was shouting to avenge the eldest brother!"

The idlers on the street say a word to me, few of them are reliable, but they are all rushing to gather in Xiao's Mansion, after all, many people have lived for a lifetime and have never seen a strong man at the level of Emperor Xiao with such a majestic essence technique!

In the palace, Xiao Bo has taken over the post of prime minister for seventeen or eighteen years, and he has not been absent from the early dynasty, of course, it is not counted when he visits abroad or leads the army to go on an expedition.

The Great General Hornak stretched out his right fist and raised it high above the top, which was the etiquette of the imperial generals before reporting to the emperor.

Emperor Chen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded.

Hornak received the emperor's signal before he said, "The minister has something to report!"

"The general is coming quickly!" Emperor Chen looked eighteen or nineteen years old, but he looked old-fashioned in his gestures.

Hornak looked around at the ministers on the left and right, and then said loudly, "The minister requests to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion today and capture the guilty minister Xiao Bo!"

Emperor Chen's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What did Xiao Aiqing do, and why did he call him a criminal?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the reaction of the ministers without leaving a trace, and saw that the military generals faction was excited, and the civilian camp was not clear, and then his eyes stayed on Taifu, that is, his imperial uncle and divine doctor Chen Bufan.

Chen Bufan seemed to sense the emperor's gaze, and then raised the corners of his eyes full of wrinkles, the uncle and nephew looked at each other, Chen Bufan put his left hand on his chest, this is the etiquette of the imperial civil official before reporting to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng ordered his second son to assassinate his eldest son last night, and seriously injured Dean Wu at the home of Wu Zhifu, the president of the Imperial Academy, both of which have no reasonable reason, and at this moment he released all the essence in the imperial capital, I don't know what he wants, I think that what the general said is extremely true!" As soon as Chen Buyi finished speaking, everyone in the hall began to talk in a whisper.

Hornak shouted "Silence!", and then pointed out of the hall, "Ladies and gentlemen, please look, the giant sword in the sky above the Xiao Mansion is probably coming towards the palace!"

The emperor surnamed Chen heard his brother-in-law open his eyes and say nonsense, and muttered in his heart, "I really came with my mouth open, you and my imperial uncle want to bring down Xiao Bo This time you have seized the opportunity!"

Thinking of this, the emperor surnamed Chen pressed down with both hands, which was a gesture of silence.

"Uncle Huang, please tell me the ins and outs of last night! General, you go to Xiao's Mansion in person, invite Xiao Aiqing to come to the palace to discuss matters, and let him receive magical powers, and in the morning, the morning exercise will not be so powerful. The emperor surnamed Chen laughed when he said, "Before Prime Minister Xiao Cheng came to the palace, let's continue the topic just now, three months later, the Jingyuan competition between my country and the Star Picking Empire began, and this year requires fifteen years old to participate, compared to the old three, I don't know if you Aiqing can recommend candidates?"

Hornak had already left the main hall, and after hearing the Jingyuan Competition, he said loudly without looking back, "Your Majesty, the minister's youngest daughter Yingying must reserve a place!"
