Li Pingping flicked the thunder sword with her fingers, and the thunder that had dissipated suddenly sounded again.
The thunder roared loudly, like a mournful cry.
Li Pingping followed the bursts of thunder and already drew her sword.
In an instant, the entire illusion was filled with lightning and sword energy. The illusion began to tremble uncontrollably and was about to collapse at any time.
The sword arrives, the thunder arrives, and the man is broken!
Zhu Qing, who turned into a monster, was broken away with just one move, without any ability to fight back.
The surging sword energy spread out in all directions, and Zhu Qing, who was enveloped by the black demonic energy, began to tremble uncontrollably. He tried every means, no matter whether it was sweeping backwards or forwards, nothing worked. .
After a while, all the black demonic energy on Zhu Qing's body dissipated.
Disbelief was written in his eyes.
The dragon-headed staff in his hand had been broken in half. He looked up at Li Pingping in the sky, swallowed his saliva, and murmured: "Sword...Sword Immortal."
What followed was the collapse of the illusion.
The surroundings began to change. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Qing was already kneeling in the court hall, while Li Pingping was still looking like he was at the beginning, with a flying sword hovering beside him, making a buzzing sound.
The lips of the courtiers had turned pale from the cold. When they returned to reality, they hurriedly ran out of the court hall like crazy to feel the sunshine outside.
In the court hall, only Li Pingping, Zhu Qing and Sun Gusheng were left.
Li Pingping walked up to Zhu Qing step by step, reached out and held the flying sword, put it against his neck, looked at Sun Gusheng and asked: "Your Highness, you decide how to deal with him."
Sun Gusheng cupped his fists at Li Xiang and said, "Thank you very much, Li Xiang."
Li Pingping shook her head and smiled: "It's just a little effort."
Zhu Qing, who returned to reality, was probably still immersed in the illusion just now, and kept repeating the impossibility in his mouth.
He never thought that he would be so vulnerable to Li Pingping.
It's like an old man playing with a child.
He raised his head and glanced at Li Pingping. The prime minister looked calm at this time, but in Zhu Qing's eyes, this calmness made him feel scared.
He always thought that he hid it well enough, but there were people who hid it better than him.
Sun Gusheng looked at Zhu Qing and said with some regret: "Zhu Guogong, I still remember that when I was a child, you often came to the palace and took me and my third brother to fly kites. Now that I think back to those days, I really miss you."
Zhu Qing stopped his murmuring and raised his head to look at the Crown Prince.
"It's just that time flies, I am no longer me, and you are no longer you."
Sun Gusheng looked at Zhu Qing and said calmly: "I spared your life when you were sitting on the dragon's throne privately, which is considered as fulfilling my father's promise. But you colluded with the Ten Thousand Demons Association to overthrow the government. I'm afraid it's a very difficult crime." Escaped."
"Oh, Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you want to kill me, kill me. No need to say more."
Zhu Qing sneered. From the moment he joined the Ten Thousand Demons Association, he knew what it meant. He didn't say anything about promises. Even if the old emperor was merciful, could he still be merciful if someone wanted to kill his son?
He knows better than anyone else that if he fails, he will definitely not survive.
The founding father was still the same founding father back then, a fierce and iron-blooded man.
He did not beg for mercy, did not want to beg for mercy, and would not beg for mercy.
"Zhu Qing, come out and die!"
Outside the hall, a voice sounded again.
Guan Jing finally arrived.
Guan Jing carried the sword and broke into the court angrily. Looking at Zhu Qing who was held back by the sword, his eyes couldn't stop being angry. Then he looked at Sun Gusheng and saluted: "General Guan Jing of the Army and Horses" Jing escort arrived late, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will not blame you."
Then, he requested: "I also hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can leave Zhu Qing to my disposal."
Sun Gusheng glanced at Zhu Qing and finally sighed.
His eyes were filled with helplessness.
Probably because he remembered Zhu Qing's kind-hearted appearance when he was young, and how Zhu Qing taught them to fly kites when they were in the palace.
He nodded and asked Guan Jing to take him away.
Li Pingping put away her sword, walked to Sun Gusheng, and reminded: "Zhu Qing is not one of those two ghosts."
Sun Gusheng nodded and said: "If he is really one of those two ghosts, it would be a bit of a joke. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Pingping thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I can probably guess who one of the ghosts is."
Sun Gusheng looked at Li Pingping and said, "I guessed it too."
The two looked at each other and said the same name in unison.
"Sun Yanlu."
Sun Yanlu, a name that is not that unfamiliar, at least in this world, is not unfamiliar.
You can know his identity just from his last name.
This prince was one of those who competed with Sun Yanshou for the world in his early years.
At that time, the war between princes was not a rare thing. After all, everyone wanted to sit on the throne, and that chair had infinite magic power.
There were five brothers in Sun Yanshou's generation. Except for the second prince who had no right to compete for the throne at that time, the remaining four brothers naturally started a fight for the throne.
The fight for the throne was cruel. For the sake of the throne, the other two princes died in it. However, Sun Yanlu was the weakest at the time and withdrew from the fight early. It was considered a blessing and he saved his life.
When Sun Yanshou took the throne, many courtiers petitioned the old emperor to execute Sun Yanlu. If the weeds could not be removed, they would grow again in the spring breeze.
However, Sun Yanshou was still too kind.
After all, he was still his younger brother, and he still had the same blood on his body. In the end, he still made Sun Yanlu the prince, and he has done so to this day.
Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping had already rushed to the Prince's Mansion without stopping.
In the court hall, Guan Jing held Zhu Qing in custody and said calmly: "Zhu Qing, I will give you a pleasure."
Zhu Qing laughed loudly and kept laughing for a long time.
Sometimes crazy, sometimes guilty.
At the end, Zhu Qing stopped laughing, closed his eyes, and said casually: "General Guan, I want to die in the sun."
Guan Jing frowned and said, "You don't deserve it."
Zhu Qing smiled and said: "Don't dirty the court."
Guan Jing thought for a moment, then picked up Zhu Qing and came outside the court hall.
Outside the court, the courtiers had gradually recovered from the cold. Looking at Zhu Qing, even those who had trusted him at the beginning sneered at Zhu Qing.
They are not warriors, but when they curse people, they use various methods, without using curse words, and they never repeat the same thing.
Zhu Qing didn't say anything, just silently raised his eyes and glanced at the sun.
"Do it, General Guan."
Zhu Qing suddenly said loudly: "Everything I, Zhu Qing, do is for the sake of this world. Zhu Qing took the first step!!!"
The knife fell, and blood poured out.
Zhu Qing's head rolled down the steps with a bang.
Guan Jing looked at the head indifferently, then turned around and told the courtiers: "Kyoto is no longer safe. If you want to survive, go home and hide, and don't go out."
…
…
On the border of Kyoto.
Yu Xuan took two deep breaths and wanted to adjust his posture and punch his clone. However, before he could punch, the clone had already dissipated.
Yu Xuan didn't think much about why the clone dissipated and sat down on the ground.
No doubt he was just shy of exhaustion.
However, he also knew very well that if he fell first, he would be the one who died before the clone dissipated.
He just sat down and took out a pill. Before he could put it into his mouth, he saw a flying sword rushing towards him.
He quickly stood up and looked up at the flying sword.
There was a young man standing on the flying sword, sweating profusely.
The flying sword got closer and closer, and finally stopped slowly above his head.
Yu Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and inadvertently opened a fist posture.
On the flying sword, the young man looked at Yu Xuan below, then drove the flying sword downward and landed on the ground.
Yu Xuan looked at the young man's appearance and was a little surprised. The reason was that he recognized the young man. He immediately closed his fist and said with a hint of surprise: "Gu Xiaotian?!"
Gu Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "Do you know me?"
Yu Xuan nodded and said: "I am a confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Xiaotian looked Yu Xuan up and down, perhaps because Yu Xuan put away his fists after recognizing Gu Xiaotian, which made Gu Xiaotian trust him a little more, and then asked: "Senior, do you dare to ask me this? What happened?"
Yu Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I was just ordered to guard the border. Now it seems that I came a step too late. Before that, there was just a fight."
"Then it looks like senior won."
"You can say I won, but I didn't win everything."
"Why?"
"The opponent has dissipated."
"Dissipated? Senior met his own clone?"
Yu Xuan nodded.
Gu Xiaotian put it away and said silently: "It seems that senior has encountered the same thing as me."
Yu Xuan asked: "Have you met your own clone before?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes."
"Judging from your appearance, the clone is not haunting you."
Yu Xuan sighed with emotion: "As expected of a young hero, can you tell me how you broke the clone?"
Gu Xiaotian's thoughts at this time were not here, he just briefly mentioned the simplest fairy energy.
Yu Xuan kept smiling bitterly after hearing this.
Fairy spirit?
That kind of thing is hard to come by.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Is Sun Gusheng in Kyoto now?"
Yu Xuan said: "Still in Kyoto, but I don't know what the situation is now. Maybe a ghost has been caught."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaotian began to think silently.
Originally, Gu Xiaotian wanted to come back in a carriage with Xiao Yinyin, but he discovered something at Lang Ping's house.
When leaving the city, he deliberately returned to Mr. Lang Ping's house and rummaged around.
This time, he really found some more evidence.
Lang Ping's so-called superior Yuan Zuo was actually just a smoke bomb, or to put it another way, Lang Ping was actually the person with the highest say in that city, and he was only pretending to be around Yuan Zuo, and he was keeping an eye on Yuan Zuo.
Gu Xiaotian suddenly asked a question, "When you went to the palace today, did you see the Queen Mother?"
Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm just a wandering cultivator. The Queen Mother doesn't know how to go to court, so naturally I didn't see her."
Knowing that he couldn't get any news from Yu Xuan, Gu Xiaotian clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please continue to guard the border. I have something important to do, so I will enter the city first."
He took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket and threw it to Yu Xuan, "Senior, take the elixir as soon as possible. I always have a bad feeling in my heart. The clone is just an appetizer, and the hard food is yet to come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaotian immediately summoned the flying sword and flew with the sword again, flying towards the city.
Some people died, but not completely...
