But Ling Yun escorted the soul out of the city. After walking less than ten miles, a woman in black suddenly appeared from the mulberry forest, followed by two attendants and assistants. She uttered wild words about killing the soul.
Ling Yun glanced at the woman in black and said coldly: "Why?"
"I'm sorry to tell you. Ling Yun, are you just saying yes or no?"
Ling Yun sneered: "Then you have to ask the sword in my hand if you agree?"
"Okay!" The woman in black looked murderous, raised her hand, and the sword came out of the box. With a shake of her hand, the sky was filled with stars. What a powerful move.
Ling Yun had already put away Shang Fang's sword, showed his own fish-green sword, and flew forward to meet him.
The two swords are mixed together, one moment it is snowing, the other moment pear blossoms are flying; the oncoming force is like the fury of thunder, and the outgoing force is like the clear light of the river and sea, which is enough to make the spectators change their expressions and marvel.
It was the first time that Ling Yun encountered such a powerful opponent, and the woman in black also experienced for the first time the anxious feeling of being matched against others and even unable to do so.
Although Ling Yun had the upper hand, he might have forgotten the disadvantage of being alone.
When he and the woman in black were fighting inextricably, the two assistants of the woman in black had already drawn their swords, killing the helpless soul sitting alone on the horse.
The mental and physical injuries have not healed, and the person is defenseless. He is actually a piece of meat that can only be slaughtered by others. And Ling Yun couldn't save him. Now he had only one way to die.
The man and woman were about to make a move when they suddenly felt something bad coming from behind, and a hidden weapon was coming!
The two of them hurriedly escaped the deadly hidden weapon, but of course they also missed this opportunity to kill the soul.
A handsome young man in Tsing Yi suddenly emerged from the forest and spat: "Two people with arms and legs bully a seriously injured person, bah! Shameless!"
The man scolded: "You stinky boy, how dare you meddle in other people's business? Are you tired of life?"
The young man in green said proudly: "I have all my unique skills, so how can I be afraid of you two thieves! You two come together!"
The two were furious, raised their swords, and attacked from both sides.
The Tsing Yi Young Master calmly blocked the attack with the Huanhua Sword in his hand, showing off his immense strength that he had learned from his masters.
But I felt a shock and pain in my wrist. I groaned, took a few steps back, and almost fell!
He couldn't help but murmured: "It's weird, when they competed with me, they were no match for me! They also said that I have profound skills. Why is this incredible power not working now?"
The woman said with a smile: "Bah, you are just a three-legged cat, and you still boast of your own unique skills. You have completely embarrassed the face of a martial arts practitioner!"
Young Master in Tsing Yi said: "Hey, don't get too happy too early. Although my martial arts skills are poor, my martial arts skills are quite superb. I am more than enough to deal with you!"
The man snorted and said to the woman: "Ting'er, rest for now while I deal with this ungrateful brat." He swung his sword forward.
When he really got to know someone, Master Tsing Yi realized that the so-called stunts he had learned at the beginning were just fancy tricks and beautiful moves, but they were actually bluffing stuff.
He only fought a few moves with the man before he was out of breath and in a hurry.
The fierce battle between Ling Yun and the woman in black has reached a fever pitch.
Although the woman in black is indistinguishable from Ling Yun in terms of martial arts, she is somewhat inferior in terms of skill.
This may really be related to martial arts attainments, or it may be related to the physical strength of men and women. After all, women are more delicate than men.
She missed a move with the fast wind chasing sword. Her sword technique was a little late and she failed to chase the wind, but the opponent's fish-green sword caught up with her neck.
Her heart dropped, and she secretly shouted: "Ling Yun!" She shouted this in her heart, and of course Ling Yun would not hear it.
He said coldly: "I want to see who you really are!" The sword was raised to lift the opponent's veil.
Suddenly I heard the man shouting: "Wait a minute!" He held the young man in green with his long sword and shouted: "If you dare to take action, I will kill this man first!"
Ling Yun wondered: "Whether you kill him or not has nothing to do with me. I don't know his name yet."
The young man in green said anxiously and angrily: "Ling Yun, I helped you just now, but you... you are so heartless..."
Ling Yun said: "But now you are causing trouble for me again. You are right and wrong, and I owe you nothing!"
"you!……"
The man said: "Ling Yun, do you really want this kid to die for you?"
At this time, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard from behind, and the faint lanterns and torches moved closer and closer, thinking that the responding officers and soldiers had arrived.
The young man in green shouted anxiously: "Ling Yun!"
The woman in black said coldly: "Okay, at worst, we will die together."
Ling Yun sighed softly and said to the man and woman: "Let's change the generals now. What do you think?"
The man nodded and said, "Okay! Change the generals, and then you and I will go our separate ways!"
Ling Yun said: "It's a deal!"
The two sides finally reached an agreement. The woman watching the fight was a notary. After shouting "three", both sides pushed the hostages in their hands.
While the man and woman were supporting the woman in black, Ling Yun also caught the young man in green who was being pushed towards him.
Due to the force of the attack, Master Tsing Yi's whole body fell into his arms.
Ling Yun only felt that the other party's body was soft, and at the same time, a fragrant and fragrant air rushed towards him, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
The young man in green screamed and hurriedly broke away, looking very uncomfortable.
Ling Yun felt that the other party's behavior was getting more and more weird, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
The young man in Tsing Yi hesitated and said: "I... I... my feet hurt, my feet are sprained... Ouch, Ouch, it hurts me so much!" As he spoke, he squatted on the ground holding his feet.
Without saying a word, the woman in black walked away with the man and woman.
At this time, the officers and soldiers behind arrived. The leader is none other than Yuan Ping. Seeing this, he asked: "Brother Ling, what's wrong?"
Ling Yun said: "It's nothing. I just met a few troublemakers and they have run away now."
Yuan Ping looked at the young man in green who was squatting on the ground and said, suddenly recognizing him, "Hey, aren't you the young man who was helped by Master Ding at the Silk Manor that day? Why are you here?..."
Ling Yun said: "This brother saw an injustice and drew his sword to help me. He was injured just now trying to help me. Let the two brothers take him back to the house first and ask the doctor for diagnosis and treatment."
Yuan Ping responded: "Okay."
Ling Yun said again: "I will escort the soul for another journey, you can take them back to recover first!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Yuan Ping, jumped on his horse, whipped his horse and drove away.
Ling Yun ran more than ten miles with his soul. It was estimated that there would be no more accidents, so he reined in the horse, jumped off the horse, and said goodbye to his soul.
In my heart, I silently tore off a piece of clothing, bit my middle finger, and with trembling hands, wrote the word "peace" on the clothing.
Ling Yun took the lapel and asked again: "Farewell, what else do you have to say?"
The mind said indifferently: "I hope you and I will never meet again!..."
Ling Yun's heart trembled and he was speechless for a moment.
Soul glanced at him and said coldly: "What about you?"
Ling Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I have nothing to say."
"Hopefully, we'll never see each other again." After saying these words through gritted teeth, he walked away.
Ling Yun looked at his back and suddenly said: "Wait a minute." He raised his hand and threw a large silver ingot and said: "Keep it for the road."
The soul glanced at it and threw it back, "The ambitious will not drink the water from the stolen spring, and the poor will not eat the food that comes."
As soon as the horse turned its head, it flew away in a flash, leaving only a deserted and indifferent place. …
When the word "peace" written in blood on the heart belt was displayed in front of Yuan Zhen's eyes, a very pleased smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Zhen's mouth.
He slowly left Emperor Zhao Yu and threw the sword in his hand on the ground.
This can be regarded as restoring the emperor's freedom.
But the emperor was not grateful for this. After he let out a long breath, his face darkened, and there was anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
After the threat was removed, he naturally resumed his posture as the king of a country and said coldly: "Yuanzhen, do you understand your guilt?"
Yuan Zhen sighed: "The poor man knows his sin, and the poor man thanks the Holy One for his salvation." At the same time, he murmured: "What is the way to die? I support my body with the same mountain..."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, a cold light flashed in his sleeve, and a short blade without a handle plunged into his chest...
Everyone exclaimed, but all measures to stop it were too late.
A stream of blood spattered out, dyeing the bricks and jade in front of Long's case red. Yuan Zhen smiled miserably and slowly threw himself to the ground.
The emperor was shocked and pale. He was so fascinated by the bloody light and the smile that he was at a loss for a long time; it was not until Feng Chaoying, the chief supervisor at the side, reminded him that he recovered.
Feng Chaoying ordered the guards on the left and right to carry Yuan Zhen's body away; he also ordered the palace people to clean up the blood on the ground.
At this time, outside the palace, all civil and military officials rushed to the scene after hearing the sudden change.
Several important officials, such as Zhao Fu, the Prince of Jinling, He Yuting, the Marquis, and Ding Jinzhi, the Minister of Rites, also stood respectfully in front of the hall to await the order.
The emperor returned to his normal state, sat upright, and issued orders: "Lu Wenzheng, do you know your guilt?"
"Confessed." Lu Wenzheng felt sad, knowing that he was about to be in disaster.
The emperor said: "Lu Wenzheng, you have committed an unforgivable crime by letting a fugitive from the Tianxiao organization go; moreover, you allowed him to come to the palace to assassinate you. If not by any chance, the one who is bleeding here today may not be the culprit but I’m done!”
Lu Wenzheng said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen knows that he is guilty, and Wei Chen deserves death, but I have one thing to say..."
The emperor said: "It's good that you know. Someone, push Lu Wenzheng out of the Meridian Gate and behead him in public!"
The wolf-like guards on both sides stepped forward, pushed Lu Wenzheng and walked out.
Ling Yun and Yuan Ping were stunned; they both knelt down at the same time.
Ling Yun said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, listen to me!"
The emperor said: "Ling Yun, you don't have to plead for him, I haven't punished you yet!"
At this time, Ling Yun had already put life and death aside and said: "Ling Yun is just a mere mortal. It is not a pity to die. But Mr. Lu is an important minister of the country. Isn't it too hasty to execute him just because of the wrath of the Holy One? - Your Majesty, Mr. Lu It’s really unjust!
The emperor said: "Injustice? Where is the injustice?"
Ling Yun kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu did not neglect his duty and indulge in evil, but his subordinates were careless and careless."
The emperor snorted and said, "That's because he is not strict in his discipline!"
Ling Yun bit his lip and said, "But Yuan Zhen is not from the Tianxiao organization either!"
The emperor was stunned and said: "What did you say?"
Ling Yun said: "It would be far-fetched to say that Yuan Zhen is a Tianxiao person, but it is just one-sided words -"
He Yuting was very annoyed and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. In fact -"
Ling Yun took over the conversation and said: "Actually, the existing evidence is not enough to prove Mr. Hou's speculation. Otherwise, please provide Mr. Hou with other evidence besides Jiang Chun's confession!"
He Yuting said angrily: "Ling Yun, you are brave!"
Ling Yun said: "Your Majesty, Ling Yun dares to guarantee with his head that if Yuan Zhen is indeed a member of the Tianxiao organization, Ling Yun is willing to share the same sin with Mr. Lu and die to apologize to the Holy One!"
Emperor Zhao Yu hesitated.
At this time, Prince Zhao Fu of Jinling came out and said: "Your Majesty, as a veteran, how about giving him a few days to re-investigate the truth of the matter and make a decision after the case comes to light?"
Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, is the emperor's uncle. He is highly respected in the court and the emperor has always respected him. His words are very important.
It turns out that there are four brothers and sisters in the emperor's father's generation: the eldest is the former emperor Zhao Ji, the second is Zhao Rui, the current prince of Guangling, the commander-in-chief of the Three Passes, the third is the current prince of Jinling, Zhao Fu, and the fourth is the current prince of Jinling. It’s Princess Evergreen.
The book returns to its true story. At this time, Ling Yun's previous speech had shaken the emperor's previous determination. After calming down, he was a little reluctant to kill Lu Wenzheng.
But he was still angry. He swung his dragon robe and said, "Put Lu Wenzheng in prison first. Ling Yun, I will find out within three days whether the evidence you call Yuan Zhen belongs to Tian Xiao. If there is any mistake, raise your head." Come and see me!”
