A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1393

[Chapter 1382 Fengyi’s Bright Blade]

Outside the Fengyi Palace, at this moment, they are waiting in full force.

Princess Tianxiang came from the state of Qi. At that time, the monarch of the state of Qi arranged for a number of eunuchs and palace maids to come as dowry. These palace maids and eunuchs have always stayed by the side of Princess Tianxiang to serve the Queen of Chu.

The Yulin army entered the inner palace, and naturally someone immediately reported to the queen. The queen immediately organized the eunuchs in Fengyi Palace. Although they did not have weapons in their hands, they picked up chairs, sticks and many other objects as weapons. The guards were outside the gate of Fengyi Palace, and the maids also picked up things such as porcelain as a second line of defense.

In fact, everyone knows that once the Yulin Army really enters the Fengyi Palace, everyone can’t stop it, but these people are loyal to the Queen, although many eunuchs and maids in the palace are in chaos, like flies without heads Looking around for hiding places, but everything here in Fengyi Palace is orderly.

Of course, the queen didn’t mess up because the Yulin army entered the palace. People kept inquiring about the news. When they learned that the Yulin army had withdrawn from the inner palace, everyone was relieved. They soon learned that the Yulin army blocked the imperial city and the city Foreign soldiers approached the city, which really surprised the queen.

“The Queen Mother…!” An eunuch hurried over and knelt down in front of the Queen: “The Protector of the State, Qi Ning, begging to see you!”

“Qining?” The queen frowned and pondered, “Let him in!”

Qi Ning came to the queen, knelt down on one knee, and said straight to the point: “Qi to the queen, the rebels are besieging the city, the minister guards the imperial city, but the rebels are numerous, the minister has already reached an agreement with the outside of the city, before dawn, the mother will bring When people leave the city, they will settle down for the empress.”

The queen got up and said, “Gong Huguo, what happened suddenly tonight? This palace heard that you were on the front line. When did you return to Beijing and when did you enter the palace?”

Qi Ning looked left and right, the queen understood what Qi Ning meant, waved her hand, motioned left and right to retreat, and when everyone retreated, Qi Ning looked at the queen and said, “Does the maiden know that Xiao Shaozong is conspiring to usurp the throne?”

“Xiao Shaozong?” The queen frowned and said, “Is that the prince of Huainan who just inherited the title?”

“Exactly.” Qi Ning said: “The emperor is under the control of this person, and now his life and death are uncertain. The minister entered the palace tonight, originally to rescue the emperor, but fell into Xiao Shaozong’s trap and was trapped in the city instead. Xiao Shaozong is now detaining the minister. He was charged with tyranny and treason, and mobilized his troops and horses to enter the city to take the head of the minister. Naturally, the minister could not bow to the traitor, so he had to live and die with the imperial city, but the minister was worried that once the city was broken, the rebels would enter the city. In the chaos of the army, it is inevitable that the nobles in the harem will be hurt, so…the minister asked the queen to leave the city first.”

“You murdered the monarch and treason?” Although the Empress was surprised, she was still very calm: “Why would Xiao Shaozong be charged with such a crime? Your Majesty…where is it now?”

“I can’t be sure of the emperor’s whereabouts.” Qi Ning said, “Xiao Shaozong found a puppet that resembled the emperor, and he used the puppet to pretend to be the emperor to issue orders. There’s no way to tell if it’s true or not.”

“Puppet?” The queen’s delicate body was shocked, and she looked like she suddenly realized: “So it is, so…that person is a puppet!”

Qi Ning immediately asked, “Has the Queen already noticed?”

The queen said: “Originally, the emperor would come to the Fengyi Palace to rest after he had finished cooking. Even if it was busy, it would not last for more than three days. But this time the emperor has not set foot in the Fengyi Palace for more than a month. People went to see the emperor, and the emperor also said that he was busy with government affairs, so he couldn’t make time to come.” After a pause, he continued: “More than half a month ago, this palace went to see the emperor in person, and saw that the emperor was reviewing the mountains of documents. Memorial, he… didn’t say a few words to me, only said to come back to see me after a while, strangely, he only looked at me once, and he never looked at me again after that.”

Qi Ning said: “What the queen saw was naturally a puppet that was faked by the emperor.”

The queen sighed, “Bengong always thought that it was because of the state of Qi that the emperor would be alienated.” After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, “Duke Huguo, tell me, where the state of Qi is… Has something changed?”

“Why does the queen ask that?”

“You don’t have to lie to me.

The queen sighed softly: “Although Ben Gong is in the deep palace, it is not that he is ignorant of the outside world.

Moreover, even if the emperor wanted to conceal such a major event from this palace, it would not be easy. There were many people in the palace, and it was not difficult to get some news.

”

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, “No matter what happens, the queen is still the queen of my great Chu. The emperor is also sincere to the queen.”

“Bengong understands the emperor’s intentions.” The queen said, “Bengong came to Chu country not just for the sake of the alliance between the two countries.” He smiled bitterly: “Why does Bengong know, how can it be possible with only one woman? Change the general trend of the world.” Immediately, a worried look appeared on his eyebrows, and he asked, “Are you sending someone to look for the emperor in the palace?”

“The emperor is not in the palace.” Qi Ning said, “I suspect that the emperor has already been taken out of the palace and is now in Xiao Shaozong’s hands.”

The queen closed her eyes: “So, the emperor…has been more fortunate?”

“Xiao Shaozong wants to take back the throne that he thinks belongs to him. Before he ascends the throne, the emperor should be safe.” Qi Ning said, “The minister can only send the queen out of the city now, and I also ask the queen to prepare quickly.”

“Then what’s the point of you staying in the imperial city?” the queen said: “The emperor is not in the city, you are guarding the imperial city, and for whom are you guarding?”

Qi Ning’s intentions towards the Empress could not be completely determined. After all, when the State of Chu attacked and destroyed the State of Qi, he could not make an accurate judgment on what the Empress was thinking. : “If Xiao Shaozong wants to usurp the throne, he will naturally have to be in the palace. Now the minister has no other way. If he can keep it for a day, he can hold back Xiao Shaozong for a day, maybe…!” If you die in the city, you can be considered loyal to the emperor. Empress, the minister will wait outside first.”

He didn’t wait for the queen to say more, and went out.

Chi Danmei was waiting outside the door. Seeing Qi Ning coming out, he hesitated to say anything. Qi Ning chuckled lightly, “What do you want to say?”

“If you haven’t found him when the city is broken, I will come back and take you with you.” Chi Danmei hesitated before sighing: “You have done your best, once the city is broken, you don’t need to throw your life away. here.”

When the two walked to the secluded place, Qi Ning said, “I will try my best to buy you as much time as possible. Breaking down the imperial city is a symbol to Xiao Shaozong. When the city is broken, it means that he has really taken it back. What you want, so as long as the imperial city is not broken, you can attract him here. After you leave the city, you must contact the people of the beggar gang, do not act alone, and those two places must be shot at the same time, Only in this way can we be surprised.” After thinking for a while, he said, “If the Yulin Guards defend the city with all their strength, with the strength of the imperial city, there should be no problem in holding it up for a day, so you must move quickly.”

Chi Danmei frowned and said, “What if…the two places you mentioned don’t have an emperor?”

“That can only mean that my luck is not good.” Qi Ning sighed, “I was completely defeated in this bet with Xiao Shaozong.”

Chi Danmei knew that Qi Ning was really in a desperate situation. She left this time, and she didn’t know if she could see each other again. She bit her lip, and suddenly opened her arms to protect Qi Ning’s neck, and pressed her sweet lips to Qi Ning’s On his lips, Qi Ning hugged Chi Danmei’s waist and kissed Chi Danmei for a moment, then said softly, “You also need to pack up first, find a set of palace maid’s clothes and put on, the queen will be leaving soon, You go out of town with the crowd.”

Chi Danmei knew that she also had a heavy responsibility, nodded lightly, bit her lip, twisted her waist, and walked away.

Qi Ning naturally had no doubts about Chi Danmei’s ability. With her method, it was really easy to disguise and mix into the crowd.

He raised his head and looked up at the night sky, dawn was approaching, and suddenly he heard someone beside him say, “Prince, the Queen has a request!” Qi Ning turned his head to look at it.

com A palace maid stood respectfully on the side, bowed her head and invited herself in. Qi Ning thought that the queen was tidying up quickly, so she was about to go inside. Suddenly, she felt a strong wind blow, and the palace maid who invited herself in had a lot more hands. He stabbed the dagger straight at him. The two were very close together. Qi Ning never imagined that the maid in Fengyi Palace would attack him ruthlessly. , at a glance, you can see that she is not a mediocre person. If it is someone else, this thorn will probably succeed, but her goal is Qi Ning.

Before waiting for the dagger to strike, Qi Ning let out a low cry, and without dodging, reached out and grabbed the dagger. The palace maid obviously did not expect that Qi Ning would grab the blade, twisting her wrist, the blade stabbed straight into Qi Ning’s palm. Ning’s wrist became even faster. It seemed that he had long expected that the palace maid was going to change his moves. He turned back, avoiding the dagger, and then slammed his palm down, hitting the palace maid’s wrist hard. The palace maid’s arm was numb and the dagger was He fell off his hands, but the palace maid’s momentum did not diminish, and his figure was still forward. Qi Ning was not polite. With a wave of his arm, the back of his hand had already hit the palace maid’s shoulder. Although he waved it at will, his internal strength was amazing. With 50% of his skill, there are not many people in this world who can withstand it. Fortunately, Qi Ning wanted to stay alive, but he did not want to take his life immediately. It hit a stone pillar, and then fell heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The voice immediately alerted the eunuchs nearby. Several eunuchs had already rushed over. They were all surprised when they saw the palace maid lying on the ground and struggling to get up. Want to kill me?” When he approached, he saw that the palace maid raised her head, with blood on the corner of her mouth, but a beautiful face, Qi Ning saw that face, changed color, and lost her voice: “Why… .why you?”
