Thirteen Niang's face was full of surprise, while Li Yan's eyes flashed with panic.
Lei Hu on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he almost sat down on the ground.
"elder sister!"
Coral took three steps at a time, jumped up in front of Thirteenth Niang, and plunged into her arms. Two lines of excited tears slowly fell from her red eyes.
"Coral, they didn't do anything to you, right?" Thirteenth Niang opened her arms, hugged the girl tightly, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Sister Ling'er saved me." Hualu raised her head and wiped her tears with her hands, "The brothers were also rescued by the masters of the Nangong family."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yan's expression changed drastically, his heart was in confusion, and he couldn't help but look at Shu Shu, Venerable Bai and others aside.
"That's good, that's good." Thirteenth Mother gently stroked Coral's hair, turned to look at Nangong Ling and said softly, "Thank you sister Ling'er for your help."
"What did Sister Zhu say?" Nangong Ling smiled slightly, with a smart light shining in her beautiful eyes, "Isn't it just to prevent this kind of situation from happening when we established the secret method of communication?"
"Sister Nangong, what's going on?" Shangguan Mingyue looked at the scene in front of her and had some guesses in her heart, but she still asked.
"Sister Mingyue, the coral was in the hands of the other party just now. My sister was forced to accept the prince's coercion and falsely framed you." The thirteenth mother looked ashamed, and suddenly reached out and slapped herself, "Let's wait for now. , I am willing to accept any punishment from my sister."
"So that's it. Sister Zhu is also a victim. How can I blame you..." Shangguan Mingyue suddenly realized and couldn't help but look at Li Yan fiercely, "I just don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince would deliberately frame our father and daughter. Could it be that Is it because of the rejection of marriage a few days ago that you have a grudge against the little girl?"
"Thirteenth Niang, what you are saying is that the accusation against Miss Shangguan just now is not true?" The situation repeated again and again, making Liao Yongnian feel a little dizzy.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince used the safety of the civilian daughter's sworn sister to force the civilian daughter to frame Shengyu Trading Company for rebellion. The jade ring was the working capital that Miss Shangguan specially lent to the civilian daughter when she saw that the lives of the brothers in Liangshan were not easy. It has nothing to do with Song Hai." Thirteenth Niang said firmly, "In addition, according to what the prince said, the current holy emperor's illness may be inseparable from him."
"Bitch, that's nonsense!" Li Yan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Thirteenth Niang talking about Li Jiuye's condition. He couldn't help but cursed, "It's obvious that you reported it yourself, but you still want to rely on Gu, Someone, come here, capture this female thief who confuses right and wrong, and torture her severely!"
"Wait!"
Several guards behind him were about to take action when they saw Liao Yongnian striding in front of Thirteen Niang and saying loudly: "Your Highness, since the case has been repeated, I must bring Thirteen Niang, Lei Hu and others back to the Criminal Department. , conduct detailed interrogation and get to the bottom of it."
"No, this female thief dares to frame the prince of the dynasty, the crown prince of the empire, and she must not be ignored!" Li Yan decisively refused, "If I don't punish her severely, where is the majesty of my Daqian!"
"Whether it is a frame-up or not, His Highness's word does not count." Shangguan Mingyue said with a sneer, "I just asked Sister Zhu to go to the Criminal Department. If Your Highness has not done anything wrong and is open-minded, why should he be so nervous?"
"Excuse me, Master Qian." Li Yan completely ignored Liao Yongnian and Shangguan Mingyue, and actually gave orders directly to Qian Wanlong, the leader of the Five Elements Sect.
Qian Wanlong nodded, opened his hands, waved his sleeves, and a vast and majestic spiritual aura emanated from himself, fiercely heading towards Thirteen Niang and Coral Cover.
"Master Xi!" Seeing this situation, Liao Yongnian didn't understand that Li Yan had something in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Please take action!"
Lord Xi flashed and appeared beside Thirteen Niang. With a gentle wave of his hand, he also released the power of the Spirit Lord and easily offset Qian Wanlong's aura.
"Master Liao, are you determined to become an enemy of Gu?" Li Yan's face darkened and he said viciously.
"Your Highness, why is this happening?"
Liao Yongnian looked at the ferocious-looking Li Yan and suddenly understood why Li Jiuye chose Prince Wu to supervise the country.
What kind of things does this bastard prince do?
He looked at Li Yan with disappointment, his face full of anger.
Seeing that Qian Wanlong was blocked by Venerable Xi, Li Yan turned to the other side and shouted: "Venerable Bai!"
A white shadow flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and instantly appeared on the other side of Lord Xi. His white clothes were whiter than the snow, his posture was elegant, and the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and he went straight to Thirteenth Niang. He had no sympathy for her, but she was actually There was no intention of leaving anyone alive.
"Dare you!" With a loud shout, Venerable Wind's figure instantly appeared in front of Venerable White, and countless gusts of wind blades erupted from his body, hitting his vitals.
The four spiritual masters were divided into two pairs and actually fought in the main hall of the East Palace.
"Everyone, please stop!" Shu Shu, Minister of War, shouted loudly, "Don't accidentally injure His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Li Yan and said, "Your Highness, what Mr. Liao said is reasonable. This case is complicated and it may be difficult to find out in a while. It is better to hand over these relevant people to the Ministry of Punishment for handling."
"Master Shu, I..." Li Yan was very anxious after hearing this, and when he was about to retort, he saw Shu Shu suddenly turning his face to the side and winking at him quietly.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Shu Shu speak loudly and righteously: "As the crown prince, how can your highness violate the laws of the empire out of a moment of righteous indignation!"
Li Yan was so shocked by him that he suddenly sobered up a lot. He glanced around and saw that Nangong Ling had a spiritual master named Ye Qinglian who had not yet taken action. He knew that even if he really wanted to use brute force to leave Thirteen behind, My mother and Shangguan father and daughter were probably unable to do it, so they couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master Shu is right. Gu Yi was so angry that he almost made a big mistake. Please stop, these two bandits." Let Master Liao take him away."
"Your Highness is wise!" Shu Shu praised loudly.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Qian Wanlong and Venerable Bai retreated a few steps together, while Venerable Feng and Venerable Xi obviously did not have any desperate thoughts. Seeing that the other party would no longer take action, they also stopped attacking.
"It would be great if His Highness can think clearly." Liao Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Once there is any progress in the case, I will inform His Highness. There may be a need in the future. Please forgive me for Your Highness’s lack of cooperation.”
"Easy to say, easy to say." Li Yan said stiffly with a straight face.
"Let's go!" Liao Yongnian called to everyone.
He didn't want to stay in this East Palace for a moment anymore.
Seeing that Li Yan really had no intention of stopping him, Liao Yongnian and Master Xi turned around and left first, followed closely by Shangguan father and daughter and Master Feng.
"Let's go." Thirteenth Niang patted the coral's shoulder gently, then turned to look at Lei Hu, who was trembling with fear, and said softly, "When Lord Liao interrogates, you and I will Usually it is just to protect the coral and to frame Shengyu Trading Company as a last resort, I think the Shangguan family will not be surprised."
"Sister, I, I..." Lei Hu trembled all over, his heart was like a knife, and he burst into tears all of a sudden. He choked and said, "I treat you like this, but you still want to protect me..."
"Sister, Brother Lei, what are you talking about?" Coral didn't know that she was betrayed by Lei Hu, and looked confused.
Looking at the girl's pure and clear eyes, Lei Hu burst into tears as he walked away: "Coral, I'm sorry for you, I'm not a thing, I'm not worthy of your 'big brother'!"
"As your leader, Thirteenth Mother is unable to lead my brothers to live a good life." Thirteenth Mother said softly, "Who have the right to blame you for finding another way out? The only thing you let me down is It’s hurting the coral.”
Lei Hu cried harder and could no longer speak.
"Come back." Thirteenth Niang persuaded softly, "Now we have found a good job. As long as we work hard, we will always be able to live a good life in the future."
Seeing that everyone came to the main entrance, only Nangong Ling, Li Yiru and Ye Qinglian were slightly behind, about three feet away from the people in front.
The large main entrance of the East Palace was slowly pushed open, and the scene outside the door gradually came into view.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the expressions of Master Xi and Master Feng changed drastically, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into their hearts.
Five huge steel chariots were lined up outside the door. On the vehicles, five huge black metal pipes had already been adjusted at an angle. The dark and deep pipe mouths were pointed straight at the people at the door. The pipes were densely arranged around them. Thousands of arrows, the arrowheads are crystal clear and as white as jade. They are actually extremely precious strategic weapons, spirit-breaking arrows.
There were several operational soldiers standing above each chariot. Under the influence of the black spirit-binding armor on their bodies, even Ye Qinglian and other spiritual masters were unaware of the appearance of these people.
"Tanks!"
Venerable Feng and Venerable Xi changed their expressions at the same time.
In the battle on the Xiqi border, the Fulong Empire's broken spirit chariots once caused a lot of psychological shadow to the two spirit masters. However, the five tanks and chariots built by Zhong Wen, both in terms of performance and lethality, are also They are far better than the Spirit-breaking Chariot.
Being targeted by such a terrifying weapon, the psychological shadow of the two of them was simply incalculable.
"Fire the arrow!"
At the moment when everyone was slightly distracted, Shu Shu's loud shout came from the door of the main hall at the back.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Following the order from the Minister of War, the arrow troughs above the five chariots made a sound at the same time, and 2,500 spirit-breaking arrows shot out, overwhelming the sky, turning white light and shadow in the air, and rushed towards the main entrance of the East Palace. He went straight towards Master Feng and others, intending to kill everyone present. Even Liao Yongnian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Yiru, the third princess, did not intend to let them go.
At such a close range, the chariot fired at a fast rate. Venerable Feng, Venerable Xi and Liao Yongnian, who were first hit, had no time to react before they were shot into a hornet's nest by the soul-breaking arrows that were so densely packed that there was almost no gap. He screamed and fell to the ground instantly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Yue'er, be careful!" Shangguan Tong reacted quickly and stood at the door frame slightly behind. He suddenly swooped sideways and pushed his daughter Shangguan Mingyue to the ground. He himself barely escaped with only his shoulder and right leg. However, he was still hit by three arrows. Under the action of the spirit-breaking arrows isolating the spiritual power, bursts of severe pain came from the wound, making his face pale and making "hissing" sounds from his mouth repeatedly.
But not far behind the two venerables, Thirteen Niang and Hualu, who were of lower cultivation, could only watch helplessly as the arrows rained down from the sky like streaks of white lightning, rushing towards them crazily, but they had no way of dealing with them.
