Chapter 124: The Shot That Opened the Road to Death
Chapter 124: The Shot That Opened the Road to Death
"Wow, the four great masters are here. This is a rare sight."
Wang Qinian, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but sigh. Fan Xian beside him nodded and suddenly asked, "Wang Qinian, did you know that the Dadong Mountain Heavenly Sacrifice was actually a trap set by Dean Chen?"
Wang Qinian was stunned, thought for a moment, and said with sincere admiration: "As expected of the dean, with Eunuch Hong and Grandmaster Ye, as well as your uncle Wu Zhu, you want to eliminate the two biggest threats to our Qing country in one fell swoop."
No one would have thought that Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervisory Yuan and one of the pillars of the country, would design to kill his own emperor. So since this is a trap and since it is not to kill the emperor, it must be to deal with Si Gu Jian and Ku He, so Wang Qinian's idea is completely correct.
Fan Xian was silent, with a very complicated expression.
Seeing Fan Xian's expression, Wang Qinian suddenly had a bad feeling and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, did I guess wrong?"
Fan Xian sighed, "Wang Qinian, go down the mountain. If anyone asks you later, just say that you have never been to the top of Mount Dadong. Things are going to change in Qing Kingdom from now on."
Wang Qinian was not stupid, and he knew Fan Xian very well, so he guessed the truth almost instantly and was shocked beyond words.
"Are we dealing with His Majesty?!"
Fan Xian hummed but said nothing.
"No, have you forgotten that the Third Prince is still alive?" Wang Qinian was anxious. He was too lazy to find out why the plan was set to kill Emperor Qing. Instead, he was worried about what Li Chengzong would do after he came back.
You know, Li Chengzong is a grandmaster with unfathomable strength. It can be seen from the fact that he almost killed Si Gu Jian three years ago that there is absolutely no grandmaster who can be his opponent.
"It seems that you know more than me. I only found out yesterday that he is still alive. However, since Dean Chen was able to set up a trap to kill His Majesty, I think he has a way to deal with Li Chengzong. You should hurry down the mountain now."
"You want to take action too?"
"He killed my mother, and I want to protect Uncle Wu Zhu."
It is true that Wang Qinian is the confidant of Fan Xian and Chen Pingping, and he would even risk his life for them, but his wife and daughter at home are his bottom line.
The siege and killing of Emperor Qing today is tantamount to treason, a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan.
If he helped Fan Xian, even if Emperor Qing died in the end, his wife and daughter would not be able to survive.
Because Li Chengzong was still alive and was on his way back to Beijing, with Li Chengzong's power, he could easily find out the truth on Mount Dadong.
Although Fan Xian said that Chen Pingping had a way to deal with it, it was after all the revenge for his father's murder, how could it be so easy to let it go? !
Just look at Fan Xian and you will know that he is willing to help kill his own father for the sake of the mother he has never met, not to mention Li Chengzong, who has been with Emperor Qing for many years and has a good father-son relationship with him.
In any case, Wang Qinian could not imagine how Chen Pingping could persuade Li Chengzong to let go of the hatred for his father's murder.
Once Li Chengzong takes revenge, who in the world can stop him?
Unless he summoned the grandmaster again to use the force of numbers to defeat the minority, Li Chengzong was not stupid, so how could he let this situation happen again?
Moreover, no one knows how strong Li Chengzong is. Even if he is outnumbered, he may not die.
Dean Chen must be getting confused!
Wang Qinian really didn't know what to say. He only knew that he had to stay away from Fan Xian and Chen Pingping, so he retreated without hesitation. Of course, he had no intention of reporting to Emperor Qing.
Firstly, he had been with Fan Xian for a long time, and his thoughts had already become very different from those of most loyal ministers and filial sons in the world. Staying alive was the most important thing. Even if His Majesty was going to die, he was still alive.
Besides, no matter what, he was still a subordinate of Fan Xian and Chen Pingping, and Fan Xian trusted him so much that he told him the truth about Mount Dadong. Running away directly was already his limit, and he really could not betray them.
As Wang Qinian, who is known as the two wings of the Supervisory Council together with Zong Zhui, his skills in escaping and hiding are truly unparalleled in the world. In addition, the place where he and Fan Xian were hiding was far away from the grand masters present, so even the grand masters did not notice this small figure, let alone those officials.
Layers of dark clouds gathered for no reason, hanging high in the sky above Mount Dadong, blocking most of the scorching sunlight. The top of the mountain was once again engulfed in the gloomy sea breeze, and the field was completely silent.
The Grand Master and Emperor Qing did not speak. No one dared to move or speak. Everyone was filled with extremely complex emotions, some excited, some scared, some excited, some desperate, some awed, some sad...
On this mountaintop which does not seem very wide, too many things have happened today, and too many important figures have come, so that the ancient temples scattered around seem to be trembling in the sea breeze, and the copper bells under the eaves are jingling, as if paying tribute to these important figures.
Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian and Ku He are great masters who are worshipped by the three kingdoms of the world. They live in different parts of the world. Ku He lives in seclusion in Qingshan, Beiqi, Si Gu Jian protects Dongyi with one sword, and Ye Liuyun wanders on the sea and it seems that no one in the world can invite the three of them to appear in the same place at the same time. This is the consciousness of being the pinnacle power in the world.
However, today they came to Dadong Mountain for one person.
Is it for the emperor of the most powerful country in the world, the most powerful man in the world?
No, they did it for Ye Qingmei.
In addition to the three great masters, there is also Hong Sixiang who is beside Emperor Qing.
This person is well-known throughout the world as the fourth grandmaster.
The four great masters represent the pinnacle of martial power, and together with Emperor Qing, the pinnacle of power in the world, they all gather in Dadong Mountain. Such a scene has never appeared before and will probably never happen again in the future.
Such a wonderful scene often only appears in people's imaginations or storytellers' books. However, this seemingly impossible scene became a reality on Mount Dadong in late summer this year.
In addition to the four great masters and Emperor Qing who was the target, the officials present did not forget the blind man standing at the door of the small temple. Although their strength was unknown, he was definitely not simple and was probably also a great master.
The only regret is that the youngest Third Prince in the world did not have the opportunity to come here, otherwise it would have been a gathering of all the top military forces in the world.
"I have met His Majesty."
After a period of silence, Ku He spoke first.
He also wore a bamboo hat and a linen robe, and his attire was exactly the same as Si Gu Jian and Ye Liuyun's.
It was obvious that the three grand masters were paying tribute to Ye Qingmei and also seeing Emperor Qing off.
Unfortunately, Emperor Qing did not seem to notice this. He just bowed slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for two years. The Imperial Master is in better spirits."
Ku He slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing his shiny bald head. The wrinkles on his forehead seemed to reveal a peaceful and tranquil aura. He said softly, "We can't help it. Your Majesty is hiding too deep. He must be in good spirits. We are also afraid of capsizing in the gutter."
Except for Li Chengzong, all the existing Grandmasters have arrived. Emperor Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I really don't know how Li Yunrui could convince the three of you to come here at the same time to kill me."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to continue the show. You will not survive today."
Hearing this, Emperor Qing instantly suppressed the bitterness in his smile and said proudly: "You are not ordinary people. I am the Son of Heaven, and I am also not ordinary people. You want to kill me, but do you have the courage to bear the chaos in the world after my death?"
"The world is already in chaos, and after your majesty dies, we have our own way to stabilize the world."
Emperor Qing was very disdainful of Ku He's statement and laughed contemptuously: "So the current situation in the world is already in chaos in the eyes of the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master is really compassionate."
Right now, the Kingdom of Qing is in turmoil, but this is not real chaos, because the Kingdom of Qing still has a lot of room for maneuver. But if he dies, with the participation of foreign forces, no matter whether the ministers in the court are loyal or disloyal, under the strong pressure of the monarch's recent death, they will inevitably be forced to raise troops, and focus on dealing with Dongyi City and Northern Qi.
With Qing's powerful military force, the courage cultivated over the years, and the support of his son's peak military strength, once the banner of revenge for him is raised, Beiqi and Dongyi City will not be able to hold out.
Emperor Qing smiled contemptuously, looking at Si Gu Jian and Ku He, "You two have always liked to claim to be the guardians of the people. Ku He, you guard Northern Qi, Si Gu Jian protects Dong Yi. However, if I die in your hands, the soldiers and civilians of Qing and my son will surely avenge me. Your people will be killed and injured, displaced, and unable to breathe for a hundred years. Is this deal really worthwhile?"
Ku He smiled slightly: "If your majesty is not dead, won't such a situation occur? Will the world war not happen?"
Emperor Qing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Si Gu Jian, who had been paying attention to him and noticed that he put his hand on Hong Sixiang, spoke first.
"Ye Liuyun, stop Hong Sixiang." Although Si Gu Jian didn't understand why Emperor Qing did this, his intuition told him that he couldn't let Emperor Qing continue.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Liuyun took action. This was what they had agreed on before, and he would be the one to stop Hong Sixiang.
Emperor Qing was stunned, because this was totally different from his plan. The Grandmaster's move was so fast that even though Emperor Qing came to his senses in an instant, Ye Liuyun had already forced Hong Sixiang away from him in a split second.
Watching Ye Liuyun forcing Hong Sixiang away from the top of Mount Dadong, Emperor Qing finally understood something, and his eyes were filled with an unprecedented coldness.
"Did Chen Pingping betray me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, who were originally standing together, separated. Wu Zhu, who was standing at the entrance of the small temple, also walked behind Emperor Qing, and the three of them surrounded Emperor Qing in a horn formation.
They didn't say anything, but their actions spoke for themselves.
"why?"
"Your Majesty should know this clearly."
Emperor Qing laughed, his laughter was filled with murderous intent: "So that's how it is. It turned out that it was because of her that I endured humiliation for twenty years. Even I was deceived by her. Chen Pingping, you really deserve to die!"
The voice was so loud that it spread throughout the entire summit of Mount Dadong. So after hearing these words full of murderous intent, Fan Xian, who was hiding in the dark, became even more determined to keep Emperor Qing in Mount Dadong.
On the cliff on the other side, Hong Sixiang, who was fighting with Ye Liuyun, was shocked when he heard Emperor Qing's words. He was not paying attention and was slapped by Ye Liuyun.
After all, Hong Sixiang was only at the peak of the ninth rank, and without the continuous blessing of Emperor Qing's domineering true qi, he was naturally far inferior to Ye Liuyun, a genuine grandmaster. Ye Liuyun did not know Hong Sixiang's true strength. In addition, with Hong Sixiang's previous outburst of momentum, he completely treated Hong Sixiang as a grandmaster of the same level. He attacked with all his strength and severely injured him with one palm. The man was embedded in the steep stone wall and had no strength to fight anymore.
Ye Liuyun was a little confused: "Aren't you a grandmaster?"
Hong Sixiang spat out a mouthful of blood and asked, "Did Dean Chen plan all this?"
"Yes!"
"why?"
"To avenge Miss Ye."
"Impossible. When Miss Ye died, His Majesty was not in Kyoto."
"He is the mastermind behind this."
Hong Sixiang suddenly realized and continued to ask, "You also want to kill His Majesty?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head: "After all, I am a Qing countryman, and I will not attack Your Majesty, so I am only responsible for stopping you, but I didn't expect that you are not a grandmaster. It seems that Chen Pingping is dead, and Your Majesty will die in Dadong Mountain today."
Hong Sixiang was silent.
Although he was unclear about Emperor Qing's strength, in a three-on-one situation, Hong Sixiang did not think that they had any chance of winning unless the Third Prince could break into Dadong Mountain.
But is this possible?
With Chen Pingping's shrewdness, he would not have failed to think of the great master, the Third Prince.
Seeing that Hong Sixiang remained silent, Ye Liuyun asked the question that puzzled him the most.
"Why did Chen Pingping want to spare your life? Did you have a deal with him?"
Transaction, this is the biggest possibility Ye Liuyun could think of.
"Although I am a eunuch, I also know how to be loyal to the emperor. How could I collude with traitors and villains?" Hong Sixiang said angrily, and in anger he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Then why did he ask us to spare your life?"
Hong Sixiang said nothing, but closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
Unfortunately, his meridians had already been damaged by Emperor Qing's domineering true qi, and coupled with the damage caused by Ye Liuyun's full-strength palm, his condition was getting worse.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun simply knocked him out and waited quietly for the battle above to end.
The clouds above the peak of Dadong Mountain became thicker and thicker, the area of the dark clouds became wider and wider, and finally connected directly to the line where the sea and the sky met. The entire sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was getting darker and darker. The rolling and squeezing of the clouds seemed to be clearly visible, as if an unknown energy was accumulating in those deformed and struggling clouds. The wind was howling, and there was a faint rumbling of thunder between the clouds, as if the heaven and the earth were groaning in pain.
Under the sky with the thickest layers of dark clouds, the top of Dadong Mountain has entered a very wonderful state.
When the first drop of rain fell, it landed on the eyes of the giant dragon painted with gold thread on Emperor Qing's dragon robe, as if the dragon was shedding tears, making the dragon's eyes look dim and sad.
Suddenly, four extremely powerful auras rose up at the same time, interfering with each other, leaning on each other, and colliding with each other. Gradually, they merged together and were about to soar into the sky, as if to compete with the thunder and lightning in the sky.
The four majestic auras contained the power of entities and merged perfectly together, bringing the entire summit of Mount Dadong into a mysterious state, as if all life had lost control of its own mind in this realm of perfect integration of entities.
Not to mention the people, even the flowers, plants and trees on the top of the mountain were undergoing uncontrollable changes. The green grass around the top of the mountain tilted like swords, stabbing at Emperor Qing in the middle, as if worshiping the king, or assassinating the king. The copper bells under the eaves of the temple swayed continuously, and the iron rings in the copper bells also moved harmoniously, but no sound was made. The loess on the ground retreated to the cracks in the bluestone at a speed visible to the naked eye, shrinking into a line, as if avoiding this majestic force.
The auras that burst out from the four grand masters at the same time intertwined with each other. The power of this aura had far exceeded the scope of human beings and began to approach infinitely the illusory heavenly way.
There was no sound at all on the entire mountain top. All sounds were blocked by the four majestic auras. One could see their shapes but could not hear their sounds.
The raindrops hit Ku He, but were not stirred up by the pure Qi in his body. Instead, they slid down gently and naturally, soaking his linen clothes and his bare feet. The wind on the top of the mountain was blowing hard, blowing his clothes backwards. However, he stood quietly on the top of the mountain like a mountain, facing the wind and rain. He did not resist deliberately, but just blended gently and naturally with the wind, rain and mountain.
This is because of his unique Tianyi Dao mental method, which makes use of the wind, rain and mountain conditions to enhance his own momentum.
Wu Zhu stood behind Emperor Qing, leaning on the iron rod in his hand, letting the rain wet his clothes. He had his eyes covered with a black cloth, motionless, expressionless, like a cold stone.
Si Gu Jian was on the right side of Emperor Qing, and did not move, but just gathered his momentum. He lowered his head, and his hat covered his face. The rain seemed to swallow up this dwarf, but it could not swallow up the sword in his hand, which still shone with cold light and blood in the wind and rain.
Although he did not move, the true energy of his physical strength surged out, like real true energy, circling in a terrible arc, dancing up and down around him, driving the falling rain to dance along with it.
As the raindrops danced, they gradually turned into small swords, crystal clear and looking magical.
Emperor Qing, who was surrounded by three people, had his internal energy surging. His majestic aura rushed into the sky, shaking the rain around him and turning it into mist, which filled his body. Then, it was instantly evaporated by the powerful and domineering internal energy. Therefore, Emperor Qing was the only one in the field who was not hit by a drop of rain.
The four of them were all gathering their own momentum, while also fighting against each other in secret. No one acted rashly, and the field fell into a strange balance.
At this moment, Fan Xian moved.
After watching for so long, Fan Xian has already felt that Emperor Qing's power is stronger than that of the other three.
He knew that he couldn't wait any longer and couldn't give Emperor Qing time to build up his momentum.
Relying on the domineering true energy that came from the same clan as Emperor Qing, he held his breath and forcibly broke through the blockade of the majestic momentum.
The air poured into his throat. The scorching temperature and his body's greed for oxygen made each of his breaths extremely rapid. He felt dryness and stinging in his throat, and an intense tearing pain rose in his chest.
He forced himself to swallow the blood that rushed into his mouth, adjusted his posture, aimed at Emperor Qing, and fired.
"boom!"
A bullet came straight at Emperor Qing with an unstoppable momentum, and the momentum in the field was instantly broken.
This shot started the road to Emperor Qing's death.
