A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1398

[Chapter 1387 The Last Time]

Qi Ning and Xiao Shaozong made an agreement, within twelve hours, if Qi Ning could not find evidence that the emperor was killed by Xiao Shaozong within twelve hours, Qi Ning would tie himself out of the city.

Everyone at the top of the city could understand, Lu Xiao always felt that this incident was very strange, and even suspected that Xiao Shaozong played a very disgraceful role in it. He could attack the imperial city by force, and in this situation, no one could stop him, but Xiao Shaozong unexpectedly agreed to Qi Ning’s conditions.

If there is a ghost in your heart and you are worried that Qi Ning really finds evidence, Xiao Shaozong will naturally not leave time for Qi Ning, but since Xiao Shaozong dares to give Qi Ning twelve hours, some officials including Lu Xiao can’t help but think in their hearts. , Could it be that Xiao Shaozong is really frank?

There is no ghost in my heart to be so calm.

“My lord, why did you agree to his conditions?” Dou Kui couldn’t help but said, “This person is cunning and cunning, and he will change after a while. The lower official thought that he should attack the city immediately.”

Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly, and then sighed: “Once the city is attacked, both sides will be killed and injured, Yu Linwei is brave and good at fighting, Xuanwu Camp and Tiger God Camp are also powerful soldiers of the empire, this king really can’t bear to let my soldiers of Chu be because of Qi Ning. Such despicable people kill each other and splatter the imperial city.” He glanced at Qi Ning, the head of the city, and said, “Since he slandered that this king killed the emperor, this king will give him twelve hours to see if he is not. It is really possible to find evidence out of nothing. The Qing people are self-cleaning, and this king knows that there are still people among the officials who have grudges against this king, and this king will let the officials in the court personally distinguish right from wrong.”

Dou Kui sighed: “Your Majesty’s heart is magnanimous, which is admirable.”

Yuan Lao Shangshu also said: “The lord has a broad heart, and at the cost of twelve hours, I will save my great Chu soldiers from killing each other, being generous and benevolent, this is also my great Chu blessing.”

“Master, since you have given him twelve hours, Xiao Wang will not miss him even a little bit.” Xiao Shaozong said, “Everyone, rest for the time being. Master Dou, you are in charge of the household department. Twelve hours are not long. It’s not too short to say, but I also ask you to send people to prepare meals for the soldiers.”

Dou Kui immediately said: “Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to do it well.”

Qi Ning watched Xiao Shaozong and the other officials retreat from the city, and there was a smile on his lips. He naturally knew very well in his heart that since Xiao Shaozong set a trap in the palace, it was impossible to leave any evidence to be used by himself, otherwise Xiao Shaozong It is impossible to promise so happily.

He also knew everything that happened tonight, and things started in a hurry. Although Xiao Shaozong was well prepared, it was impossible to achieve perfection in this short period of time. Tonight Xiao Shaozong’s hasty deployment still had flaws. It is not enough to prove Xiao Shaozong’s guilt, but it can make some officials suspicious. For example, the speed of the Xuanwu Camp and Tiger God Camp is too fast, which will inevitably cause doubts. It would be unbelievable that the troops could come to the city within a few hours, if there was no arrangement in advance.

If Xiao Shaozong refused his request and ordered a siege immediately, many officials would definitely feel that Xiao Shaozong was guilty of being a thief and were afraid to find out evidence by himself.

Although Xiao Shaozong has a heavy army at the moment, if he wants to gain the support of the courtiers and ascend to the throne, he will inevitably eliminate the doubts in the hearts of the courtiers.

Xiao Shaozong wanted to seize the throne. Although he was deliberate, in order to confuse the former emperor and the little emperor Longtai, he had always been reclusive. This is doomed to have a very shallow foundation in the court. Achieve their goals.

Under such circumstances, it was something Xiao Shaozong had to do to dispel the doubts of the ministers.

Qi Ning expected that Xiao Shaozong would not refuse, and that was exactly the case.

Chi Danmei has already escaped from the city, and Chi Danmei will definitely act according to her own plan. There are twelve hours, which is enough for the plan to be implemented.

But whether his expectations are accurate, whether Chi Danmei can successfully achieve his goal, is not something Qi Ning can control.

This time Xiao Shaozong was trying to seize the throne, and the battle between Qi Ning and him was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Xiao Shaozong has endured for many years, even though Qi Ning has never been aware of this person’s threat before, it can be said that in this battle, Xiao Shaozong is in the dark, while Qi Ning is in the light, Xiao Shaozong’s plan is orderly, Qi Ning Passive everywhere, this battle has continued until the current situation where the soldiers meet, Qi Ning is still at a disadvantage, he knows that if he wants to reverse the situation, there is only the last chance, he can only bet this time.

Of course Yu Biegu didn’t understand Qi Ning’s intentions, so he couldn’t help but whisper: “Guo Gong, once the twelve hours arrive, if…there is no evidence, do you…?”

“Xiaowei Yu, since I have made an agreement with him, I will not break my promise.” Qi Ning said, “As soon as the twelve hours arrive, if I have no evidence, I will leave the city, so don’t continue to resist. All the responsibility is on me.”

“Prince of the country…!”

“No need to say more.” Qi Ning raised his hand and patted Yu Biegu’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “It’s really my honor to have your help this time, and it’s also the foresight of the late emperor.” He glanced down the city and said : “I’ll leave it to you first.” Without saying much, he left the city head.

He walked down the city, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that if Chi Danmei’s plan failed, he would definitely leave the city after 12 hours, but he would never be slaughtered. , relying on his own kung fu, forcibly kill a bloody road.

The sun was rising, Qi Ning stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones, and went straight to a warm room in the palace. When the two palace ladies saw Qi Ning coming in, they immediately saluted. Qi Ning waved for the two to step back first. Turning around a screen, there is a soft couch behind the screen, and Zhuo Xian’er is now on the soft couch.

She assassinated Qi Ning before, but between the lights and flint, Qi Ning didn’t show mercy, and wounded her with his backhand. Although the injury was not life-threatening, it was not light. Qi Ning originally wanted to let Zhuo Xian’er accompany the queen. I went out of the palace, but considering that once I walked, it would likely make the internal injury worse, so I could only stay in the palace for the time being.

Seeing Qi Ning coming in, Xian’er reluctantly sat up, Qi Ning stepped forward, took her hand under the seat beside the bed, and said, “Don’t move, be careful of your injury.” Then she said angrily, “It’s all my fault, at that time. ….!”

Xian’er has already interrupted: “It’s all Xian’er’s fault, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Ye.” The pair of eyes that were often restored to the gentleness of the past, Qi Ning looked at Xian’er’s soft eyes, and his heart warmed. , said softly, “Has Xian’er remembered everything?”

“I remember some things.” Xian’er said softly, “But…I didn’t remember all of them, I only remember…Master Hou is a good person.”

“He’s a good person, he’s a good person!” Qi Ning hurriedly said, “That’s a big good person, don’t worry, you can always remember it slowly.” Looking at Xian’er’s unfamiliar face, she sighed softly, “I only I thought I would never see you again, but fortunately God has eyes… Xian’er, your appearance has changed, if I hadn’t remembered your previous body shape and movements, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to recognize it.”

“Master Hou, is it… Is it that you don’t like the way I am now?” Xian’er showed a slightly gloomy look.

Qi Ning clenched Xian’er’s hand, shook his head, and said, “No matter what Xian’er becomes, in my heart, she is the most beautiful girl. I will like you no matter what you look like.”

Xian’er smiled sweetly, and Qi Ning hesitated for a while before asking, “Are you one of the six envoys of the Earth Store?”

Xian’er lowered her head, was silent for a while, and finally raised her head and said, “I’m a merciful goddess, Lord Hou… Did you know it long ago?”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “I only found out not long ago. The envoy of Yanmo has been lurking in the capital. He was instructed by Jizo to secretly assist Xiao Shaozong to usurp the throne.”

Xian’er’s lips moved slightly, but she didn’t speak.

“Xian’er, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want to inquire about anything from your mouth. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” Qi Ning sighed, “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask. Xiao Shaozong has already led his troops to command the emperor. The city is surrounded in circles, I still have twelve hours, and when the twelve hours arrive, if I don’t leave the city, Xiao Shaozong will order the siege. There are thousands of troops, I can’t take you away, I can only keep you in the palace. But as long as you don’t disclose your relationship with me, Xiao Shaozong should not dare to kill arbitrarily in the palace, find an opportunity, and wait for your injury to heal. , and then wait for the opportunity to leave the city.”

“Twelve hours?” Xian’er trembled, staring at Qi Ning’s eyes: “Master Hou will be out of the city after twelve hours?”

Qi Ning nodded slightly: “I don’t know if I can escape from death. If I can live, I will meet you in the future, otherwise…!” His expression was a little sad, but he quickly smiled: “Don’t talk about this, at least we can stay together for twelve hours. It’s a pity that you are injured now, otherwise I really want to hear you play Manzhu Shahua!”

Xian’er moved as if she was about to get out of bed. Qi Ning hurriedly asked, “What are you doing?”

“Master Hou, help me find a guqin, I…I’ll play it for you now.”

“Silly girl, with your injury, if I let you play the piano, wouldn’t it be too inhumane.” Qi Ning laughed and held Xian’er on the bed, then said, “God treats me well, at least I will die. Before the First World War, I was able to meet you and know that you were fine, so I…have no regrets.”

Xian’er bowed her head in silence for a long time, and finally said: “We… are all orphans adopted by Jizo!”

Qi Ning was startled and frowned, “Orphan?”

Xian’er nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally said: “The envoy of Yanmo and the angel-photographer are both ancient elephants, the boy holding treasure… He is the descendant of Kunlun Mountains”
