Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 156 Ascending the Throne ()

The body that was burned dry by Gu Jingnian had been placed in the coffin.

Looking at it again now, Gu Jingnian realized that something was wrong.

Princess Wei Li of the State of Yue said that to kill a salamander, one must burn it to ashes, but Yin Kuo died before being burned dry, which only means that there was not much mucus left in his body.

But Yin Kuo had just come out of the pond, why was this happening?

The reason is not hard to guess.

Long before Gu Jingnian arrived, Yin Kuo had split himself into two, or even three.

There must be a Yin Kuo who grew back and escaped from the exit of the underground palace.

Yin Jinggeng looked towards the main hall and saw that the grief-stricken Yin Yuhe had been helped to sit on the dragon throne.

"You don't need to tell father about this." Yin Jinggeng said, "We will handle it."

Yin Wanqing said: "If they have already mobilized the alien guards in the capital..."

"I'll go and convince the teacher." Yin Jinggeng said.

It seems that he and Qu Jizhi have a teacher-student relationship.

But what teacher doesn't help his students? Yin Jinggeng must have been a student of Yuewei Academy.

"Brother, are you planning to go see Lord Qu alone?" Yin Wanqing reminded him softly, "If anything happens to you, father might not be able to keep his position."

"This is the best way. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, even if we win, our national strength will be greatly damaged."

Yin Jinggeng was very determined. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Jingnian and asked, "Are you sure you can burn the salamander to death? I mean, under the protection of an expert."

"Yes, but I'll need some help."

"Okay, let's go."

Yin Jinggeng looked back at his father who had just ascended the throne, and without saying a word, he took Gu Jingnian and left Yongshou Palace.

The two men mounted their horses. Yin Jinggeng pondered for a while and suddenly said, "If the teacher knew that my grandfather had become a cultivator, he might not continue to support him."

"Are you sure?" Gu Jingnian asked.

Yin Jinggeng said: "From a utilitarian point of view, if the teacher supports my father, he will have a better future. If he supports the emperor's grandfather, it is nothing more than out of loyalty and righteousness. This is his belief. Maintaining the coexistence of the secular and the heterodox and opposing alchemy are also the teacher's beliefs."

"If that's the case, why did the salamander look for Lord Qu after escaping?"

"Because the teacher is the most capable and has always been loyal." Yin Jinggeng said with emotion: "But, I'm afraid that my grandfather doesn't believe in the teacher's beliefs."

Gu Jingnian had heard too many lies and met too many people in his life, so he no longer had any hope for this, and just asked, "Do you know where Qu Jizhi is?"

"know."

What surprised Gu Jingnian was that they ended up at Yuewei Academy.

"Don't underestimate this place as just a school. It is the place with the most extraordinary people in the capital. All the extraordinary people who can enroll are very powerful. They are an important force at critical moments. They are also the force that the teacher is most confident in commanding. He will definitely come here."

Yin Jinggeng had sent someone to call Huo Bo, and without anyone else, the three of them walked around the lecture halls and through the long corridor.

The study was quiet, with only the sound of reading coming faintly.

Even though there have been such big changes, this place has not been affected yet. There is a sense of tranquility and seclusion here.

No one stopped Yin Jinggeng, and he finally reached a room.

The door was locked from the outside, there was no one around, and it was quiet. It seemed that Qu Jizhi was not here.

Yin Jinggeng stood outside the door, raised his hand to guide the wind, and said loudly to the door: "Teacher, I want to see you."

No one answered inside.

Yin Jinggeng did not give up, but said: "Teacher, the student saw your Li beast, you are here."

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and the wind blade split the lock on the door and knocked the door open.

A piece of the screen was split, and the figure behind it appeared and disappeared.

Qu Jizhi's voice came with a wry smile.

"King Zhao is wrong. I did not ride a black beast here today."

"Why is the teacher hiding here?"

Yin Jinggeng acted decisively and strode forward.

Suddenly, vines quickly grew out from behind the screen and formed a vine wall in front of him.

A wrinkled man appeared, and the vines turned out to be his hands.

"What is the purpose of King Zhao coming here?!"

Yin Jinggeng looked over and recognized that this was Teng Chong, the defender of Yongjing City, a strange man who used to be from the eldest prince's family and had always been dissatisfied with the Eastern Palace.

They didn't agree on anything, and there was nothing more to say at this moment, so Yin Jinggeng ignored Teng Chong and just said, "Teacher, I have something important to discuss..."

Although the situation was complicated, his method of breaking it was very simple, which was to tell Qu Jizhi that Emperor Yong had turned himself into a monster.

But Yin Kuo did not give him a chance.

"Evil beast, kill without mercy."

An old and resolute voice sounded from behind the screen.

Before Qu Jizhi could say anything, he suddenly heard a bear roar.

A huge force transformed into a bear shape, broke through the screen and crashed into Yin Jinggeng.

Yin Jinggeng was about to retreat, but found that his hands and feet were tied up by vines.

He swung out his wind blade, cutting off the vines, and retreated in panic, avoiding the bear's sudden attack, shouting: "The Majesty you saw is a fake! The real Majesty is already in the palace..."

"scare!"

A sudden roar shattered the words in Yin Jinggeng's mouth and shocked people's minds.

Yin Jinggeng then waved his hand and retreated on the wind.

He knew that he was too late and had no chance to prove anything to Qu Jizhi.

"Gu Jingnian!"

Yin Jinggeng shouted, signaling Gu Jingnian to take action.

However, Gu Jingnian suddenly attacked from behind and grabbed Yin Jinggeng's neck.

"Oh!"

The bear that took shape from its force pounced on them and slapped them hard, knocking them to the ground.

The floor tiles shattered. Gu Jingnian vomited blood, but Yin Jinggeng was in a worse situation, seriously injured and almost fainted.

The other alien was also ready at this time, and countless ice cones appeared in the air, ready to stab down at any time.

"Your Majesty." Gu Jingnian suddenly shouted, "You promised me!"

After shouting, Gu Jingnian stood up.

He was not afraid of those ice cones. They could only take Yin Jinggeng's life, but Gu Jingnian didn't care about Yin Jinggeng's life or death at all.

"I have brought the traitor here as I was told. Your Majesty should also fulfill your promise to me."

The surrounding supernatural powers all stopped, and then Yin Kuo's old voice sounded, asking: "What did I promise you?"

"Get rid of Emperor Rui." Gu Jingnian said.

These words may seem grand and empty, but they were the long-held thoughts that Yin Kuo had expressed to Gu Jingnian.

After a while, Yin Kuo said, "Let him come over."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Arrest that old servant. He has no fire and cannot hurt me."

"Yes."

In this way, Gu Jingnian, unarmed, was brought before Yin Kuo.

This happened just as Gu Jingnian had expected.

Because he had already been persuaded to surrender by Yin Kuo once in the underground palace. Although the current situation is different, Yin Kuo is still in a weak position in the overall situation. And considering the relationship between Gu Jingnian and Gu Beiming, he will at least give Gu Jingnian a chance to speak.

Yin Kuo was not afraid of being assassinated by Gu Jingnian.

He already has the ability to resurrect, so as long as he doesn't encounter fire, his life will no longer be in any danger.

"Take that evil creature away."

"Yes."

Yin Kuo then said to Qu Jizhi: "Mr. Qu, go and gather your disciples for me first."

"The minister obeys the order."

After Qu Jizhi withdrew, Yin Kuo sent away the generals he didn't trust, leaving only four of them. Then he asked Gu Jingnian, "Is he... okay?"

Gu Jingnian knew who Yin Kuo was asking about, it was none other than another Yin Kuo.

But after saying the word "he", there was a pause, not sure if he wanted to say "they".

"he died."

Yin Kuo felt a little regretful, but also somewhat relieved, even more relieved, so he asked, "How did he die?"

"I met him in the underground palace. He convinced me and promised to protect Yingyao and me."

Gu Jingnian roughly repeated what Yin Kuo had said to him.

It's a very strange feeling.

It was like I was talking to the same person, but the other person seemed to have lost his memory.

What’s important is that during this conversation, Gu Jingnian understood Yin Kuo even better than the current Yin Kuo.

"He said he wanted to stop Ruidi. That touched me."

"That's right." Yin Kuo nodded and sighed, "I am indeed worried... What happened next? What happened?"

"He originally wanted me to protect him and break out, but when he realized he couldn't, he asked me to hand him over. He also told me to find another him at Qu Ji's place." Gu Jingnian said, "He said that everything he did was not for his own life, but for the great ambition in his heart. It doesn't matter which one of him realizes the life of the people of the world."

Yin Kuo had just become a salamander, and the feeling was very strange, even a little confused.

After a moment of distraction, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is me!"

After saying this, Yin Kuo raised his head, his spirit rising.

He felt that he had become one with Yin Kuo in the underground palace.

In desperate situations, he was not afraid of difficulties and spent years planning for rebellion. When he saw that things were hopeless, he made a decisive move and sacrificed himself to make another self complete.

It turns out that there are two "I"s, and this is the experience.

It’s great to be a newt.

"Go on." Yin Kuo asked, "What's the situation in the palace city?"

"In the palace, Yin Yuhe is ready to ascend the throne surrounded by his ministers..."

Gu Jingnian spoke slowly and looked out the window.

He saw a bird sitting on a branch outside.

So he closed his eyes.

The screen behind Gu Jingnian suddenly shook, as if someone had bumped into him.

A moment later, two figures suddenly appeared.

Yin Kuo was listening to Gu Jingnian talking about the palace city. Seeing this situation, he frowned.

The ones who appeared here were Gao Changgan and Yan Er.

Gao Changgan was teleported here using Gu Jingnian's aura, and at this moment he also looked confused.

Yan Er had been performing fire-breathing in the theater. Without saying a word, he opened his mouth and spit out a ball of flame at Gu Jingnian.

"Escort!"

"call--"

The flames engulfed Gu Jingnian, and in a moment, they turned into two flaming wings.

"You go!"

Two of the four alien generals around him immediately attacked Yan Er.

One stabbed out with an ice hammer, and the other turned the bear into a dead bear with his force.

However, the next moment, Gao Changgan and Yan Er disappeared.

The flame used the vine wall as fuel and burned fiercely in an instant. Soon, it spread out into huge wings of fire.

"boom!"

The flaming wings suddenly closed, attacking Yin Kuo and his guards.
