The court meeting ended in dismay among the courtiers.
Almost no one cared about what happened to the five prisoners who were sent to prison.
What everyone is more worried about is what kind of changes it will cause to the overall situation as the imperial power truly sets up its sign on the court.
At the same time... I felt even more uneasy.
In Tianqian Palace, Feng Linhui and Gao Qiang sat down in order.
The two men's wonderful coordination caught everyone off guard.
Gao Jian would compromise with the 'little emperor', which was something neither Zhao Kaicheng nor Wang En expected.
But fundamentally speaking, this is natural.
Gao Qiang has never been the same as Wang En, Zhao Kaicheng, Huo Quyi and even Cheng Penghai.
He is a mediocre guy, not as 'noble' as Wang En's ideals, not as ambitious as Zhao Kaicheng and Huo Quyi, and not as bold and cunning as Cheng Penghai. In the beginning, he was just a favorite who rose to power by pleasing the emperor. It was his nature to be attached to the emperor and greedy for pleasure.
Now that Feng Linyi has shown his strength, it is foreseeable that as such a minister, he knows how to take refuge in time.
"Your Majesty! In today's battle, you and I joined forces and caught the officials by surprise. It is a great victory. Congratulations!" At this time, Gao Qian completely restrained his past domineering behavior and became humble and two-faced. Changes and switches are very smooth, without any force.
Feng Linwen sat on the chair, holding his chin with his hand, as if he was lost in thought, and did not answer Gao Qiang's words.
The clone Sima Liang on the side said with a smile: "This time I relied more on the help of the Prime Minister. However, after today, although the actions of the Prime Minister are not obvious, they cannot be concealed from those who are interested. In the future, the Prime Minister , I am afraid it will be difficult for you to move above the court. High Minister... you have been wronged!"
Gao Qiang smiled nonchalantly, as if he was a good minister who fulfilled his duties, was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and did not put his own interests first at all.
But in fact, he knows best that as the leader of the Longxiao Army, he controls this emerging sector of violence and power. His power is rapidly expanding and amplifying. With this amplification, it is also because of the special characteristics of the Longxiao Army. , sooner or later there will be more differences and conflicts between him and his courtiers.
In this case, then strike first to weaken the opponent's strength in the future.
Of course... Feng Linwen's force and coercion were also a key factor.
"Captain Sima was joking. It is the duty of a minister to share your worries with you. Why should I feel aggrieved?"
"However, today's situation has not yet been settled. Tonight... is still very long." As he said this, two shadows, one green and one white, appeared behind Gao Qiang.
The one wearing white clothes is the fox demon, the woman who was in the carriage with him last time, acting out the animal world.
But the one wearing green clothes was a snake demon, with a cold breath, and the message that no strangers should be allowed to enter was exuded all over his body.
A snake and a fox, two little demons who are equivalent to the hidden realm, are like the trump cards of this high minister to save his life.
Crackling...!
The heavy raindrops were afraid of hitting the palace windows.
However, the whines and screams of some Dongchang fans and guards could be heard outside the door.
Gao Qiang looked at Sima Liang and said in a calm tone: "Commander Sima! This is the action of the Rain Master under General Huo. It is said that this person is from a foreign race and is born with the ability to spread clouds and rain. Now, in this rain, there are With the poison that melts gold and rots bones, your ordinary swordsman and axeman outside the palace may not be able to stop him."
Just as Feng Linyi had expected, when the situation is out of control, some people don't mind and use violent methods to solve all problems.
For example...let the crazy emperor Feng Linwen die suddenly, and then raise a new emperor.
Snapped!
The palace door was blown open by the strong wind.
The pouring rain poured in from outside the temple.
The seemingly turbid raindrops, when they fell on the floor, corroded deep pits one after another, emitting a pungent smell.
The two guards rolled in from outside the palace with their whole bodies burned, and rushed to Sima Liang wailing all the way, as if they were about to ask for his life.
The next moment, their skins were all cracked. Two warriors in black, holding short knives, simultaneously attacked Sima Liang's front and rear vital points.
The candlelight flickered, and the shadows in the hall were lengthened.
Sima Liang only took a small step back, but an old eunuch with a stiff face, like a zombie, suddenly appeared and stood in front of him.
The old eunuch grabbed the two daggers with his skinny fingers and crushed them directly.
Broken iron filings fell to the ground, making a harsh, mocking sound.
The two figures were directly torn apart, and the spilled blood and broken limbs stained the ground red, making the originally luxurious and solemn palace become a bit strange and cold.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The footsteps outside the door gradually became louder, and a man wearing a raincoat walked in with a black iron umbrella in his hand.
He shook off the rainwater on his body. When the rainwater fell on the ground, it emitted corrosive green smoke.
"Oh! It seems that it is not only the Rain Master, but also the Sword Lord. This person's swordsmanship is superb, and his cultivation is at the Ning Gang level. He is the right-hand man of the general. Ordinary Ning Gang monks are no match for him. Your Majesty. Be worried." Gao Qiang made a voice again, as if to remind him, but just listening to his tone, there was no nervousness, and it was obvious that he had something to rely on.
The visitor untied his raincoat and put down his iron umbrella. He had an ordinary-looking face and a military-style general sword stuck in his waist.
Two more old eunuchs rushed out from the darkness and attacked Jianhou one from the left and the other from the right.
The three of them were entangled and couldn't tell the winner for the time being.
The overflowing energy made the entire palace tremble and shake, and as the rainwater carrying strong corrosive toxins washed away, the originally solid hall seemed to collapse.
The original palace should have monks presiding over the formation to resist invasion from the outside world.
Naturally, such evil wind and rain cannot come in.
But many years ago, the monks guarding the palace died, and the great formations in the palace were completely destroyed.
It is not easy to re-erect this formation.
More old eunuchs rushed out, looking for their opponents in the darkness.
The wind and rain outside the palace seemed to have temporarily let go of the crumbling palace, and turned its target to the enemy in front of it.
The accident happened suddenly. The fox demon who had been following Gao Qiang moved.
She suddenly changed her face and hit the snake demon next to her on the back with a palm, temporarily restraining it. At the same time, she held a sharp weapon and flew towards Feng Linye. The demonic energy was suffocating all over her body, and she was bound to fight for her life. Take Feng Lin's life.
The emperor is protected by dragon energy. Whether he is a monk or a demon, if there is no accident, he can only use sharp weapons to assassinate him with pure physical damage. This was also the reason why the fox demon, who was originally good at some vicious spells, chose to sacrifice his strengths and weaknesses and use a close combat method that he was not good at to assassinate Feng Linwen.
Poof!
The fox demon was rushing towards Feng Linwen, and a strange smile even appeared on her face. She was extremely beautiful, but suddenly... her whole body froze.
She lowered her head and looked at her originally high chest. A small sharp sword tip penetrated her chest and pierced her heart. Everything happened so suddenly.
She turned her head in disbelief and saw Gao Qiang holding the hilt of a long sword.
The sword edge was pulled out of the chest.
Gao Qian showed no nostalgia or reluctance at all. He swung his sword continuously and struck the fox demon on its back, cutting off its tail.
With a long and ferocious cry, the fox demon's green eyes gradually blurred, and turned into a huge white fox, which fell to the ground covered in blood.
