The shadow guard who was hiding in the dark was the first to react. Before Min Huan pulled out his long sword, he shot a dark dart and hit him on the wrist. The pain made him slow down his further actions, but he did not give up. With his left hand, he drew out the short blade hidden in his waist and stabbed at Qi Ping again. The shadow descended from the sky like a ghost, aimed at Min Huan's left hand and slashed. On the ground, Min Huan covered his wound and let out a miserable roar.

The soldiers behind the injured general couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of Qi Wei's order just now, the group shouted and rushed to the front to fight with the imperial army again. Attacking sword.

The warm blood bloomed along the clothes with fiery red fireworks, spreading to the left chest and left arm, and the pain made it difficult for the whole person to even breathe. The blood is hot, but it took away the body temperature, and slowly climbed up. Along the entire left arm, dripping onto the ground.There was noise and chaos in my ears, swords, lights and swords screamed and roared, and even the moonlight, which had been hiding under the thick black clouds, would reveal its whole face, and sprinkle coldness on the blood-red mottled land.

The things in front of him seemed to be distorted and seemed to slow down. His eyes moved away from the sword blade protruding from the front of his chest, and he looked up to see Qi Xiao was pushing away the surrounding imperial guards. Frowning his brows in panic, he opened and closed his lips and yelled something, but the cries were drowned out by the more stern roars around him.

Don't fall when you run so fast, Qi Yi is worried and wants to go up to meet him.

His feet seemed to be standing on cotton wool, and he couldn't stand stably, but he tried to move his steps in exchange for more intense pain. The pain penetrated his whole body, causing Qi's consciousness to drift away, and his body finally couldn't support it and slowly fell to the ground.

It seems like a moment and a long time ago, when regaining consciousness, the first thing he smells is the familiar light sandalwood, accompanied by a hint of bloody sweetness, and then he finds himself being held safely in Qi Xiao's arms, the delicate and luxurious dragon The robe was stained with a puddle of blood. I always remember that Qi Xiao especially loved cleanliness. During those days in the south of the Yangtze River, wearing white clothes would always be spotless like a dusty fairy.

But at this moment, she didn't realize it, she just yelled at the people around, and Qi Ping reached out to wipe it for her, but it turned out to be stained with more blood, only to find that the palm of her hand was already bright red.What followed was a sharp pain in the left shoulder, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, but it was not as painful as before, but it felt colder and colder.

Just about to give up this fruitless move, Qi Xiao grabbed her wrist tightly, and the other party pressed her hand to her cheek excitedly: "Baer, ​​baer..."

The face is also dirty.His fair skin was smeared with blood stains from five fingers, and Qi Ping frowned slightly.

Although his whole body is cold and painful, and even just breathing can feel the tingling pain spreading from the wound to his whole body, Qi Zhe is extremely relaxed and happy. Lying in the arms of the person he loves the most, the accumulated longing can finally be released, the most beautiful thing in life The good things are nothing more than that, even the face exudes a faint smile, which forms a strange contrast with Qi Xiao's expression.

Just after relaxing for a moment, a soldier rushing in had his throat cut by the shadow guard, and the blood spurting from his throat passed through the guard of the shadow guard and splashed on Qi Xiao's side face. The mood was no longer as relaxed as before, and he held Qi Xiao's five fingers instead, and said eagerly: "Soldier Talisman!" Every word she said made her almost faint. As loud as he could say, "Give me the soldier talisman, and I will make General Qin retreat."

In response, Qi Xiao firmly grasped Qi Ping's hand, leaned her head on her forehead, and gently stroked her head with the other hand, "Don't think about anything else, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

While speaking, a string of fireworks ignited in the dark night sky behind, and fiery red sparks with long tails jumped into the air, exploding with red light.

She grasped Qi Xiao's neckline with all her strength, and Qi Ping shook her head. She knew that if she continued to delay, she would really have no chance, so she separated the two of them and Qi Ping looked at Qi Xiao with burning eyes, except for the one on the left cheek. Stains, she is still stunningly beautiful, but she has lost a lot of weight. You can see her slightly sunken cheeks and raised cheekbones, and her slightly frowned eyebrows make Qi Ting want to smooth them out, "Xiao'er, if you have something wrong , I will never live alone."

With a bloodless and pale face, even though his breath was extremely weak, his eyes were still bright and brilliant. Qi Xiao's trembling lips wanted to say something, but in the end she just bit her lower lip hard, and grabbed the half handle exposed behind Qi Ping with her left hand. The long sword, the sharp blade cut through the palm of the hand in an instant, and the other hand took out a short blade from the cuff.

The short blade is no more than six inches long, and the blade reflects a cold light under the light of the fire. This sword is the work of the master swordsmith Ziji. It is made of the hardest wrought iron.Qi Xiao held the blade of the sword tightly, swung down with his right hand and split the exposed long sword in two.

The sharp short blade and Qi Xiao's left hand, which was firmly held by Qi Xiao, didn't make Qi Ping feel too much pain when he cut off the long sword. Relieved, Qi Ping smiled, and Qi Ping tried his best to maintain consciousness.She knew that if Qi Wei got the soldier talisman first, Qi Xiao would be in danger, and Qi Xiao had already made the final plan, and this short blade might have explained everything.

In the rear, Qi Zhen was anxiously waiting for the army to come. Min Huan was rescued and given a simple bandage, which temporarily stopped the bleeding, but behind the crowd, he could only faintly see Qi Zhen lying there. .

His right-hand man had his left arm cut off, and his own sister was seriously injured, but his enemy was there unscathed, how could Qi Wei swallow this breath.

The corpses of the dead soldiers lay on the ground. The Forbidden Army and the Shadow Guards made a final fight to protect the life of the emperor. Finally, the iron armor clashed with gold and swords, and tens of thousands of troops rushed all the way from Tianque Pavilion.

Soldiers in black and gold armor surrounded the small front yard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and with an unshakable backing, the soldiers fighting in front were no longer eager to attack, and the shadow guards led the forbidden army to form a circle to surround them all. With Xiao protecting in the middle, the fighting stopped temporarily.

Qin Dian's lion shirt was the first to catch people's sight. After clasping his fists and saluting to Qi Zhen, he was surprised to see Qi Zhen lying in a pool of blood, and then saw Qi Xiao's cold gaze.

Even if a large army surrounds the capital and enters the court to force the palace, as long as Qi Xiao wears the dragon robe, he will still be the king of a country. Qin Dian cupped his fists again and saluted Qi Xiao. He took out a bamboo flute from inside, and the pure white nephrite hanging below it gave off a soft white light in the moonlight.

When the words came to his lips, he completely forgot to say them, and saw Qi Ping struggling to take the jade pendant, holding it in his hand and showing a weary smile to Qin Dian, all the soldiers were silent, only the burning flame occasionally burst out with a low sound Voice.

"General Qin has promised Empress Shunying. If any one of his descendants gets this soldier talisman, he can command an army of 20 when the first emperor dies and the dragon son seizes power." strength.

Qin Dian didn't answer right away, he frowned and glanced at the nephrite in Qi's hand, then closed his eyes and nodded as acquiescence.

"Now the general situation has been settled, the emperor is virtuous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The people and all the people all praise Long live for the ability to govern the country, diligent government and love for the people, those who govern the country, live with the sage, and the capable are in office. General Qin thinks that today is fatuous?"

After a while of silence, Qin Dian lowered his head even more, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise and prudent, and it's Dayu's luck."

Hearing this sentence, Qi Ping smiled gratifiedly, "General Qin has contributed a lot to Dayu's southern and northern wars for ten years. Now Dayu's people are fighting the enemy with all their strength and are united. How can they fight in the same room and cook beans when everyone is supposed to be united?" Burning Osmanthus, the general must also be worried about the war and care about the people." The long series of words made the already weak spirit even more sluggish, and he bit his lower lip and raised his hands to Qin Dian. They shouldn't be here, but they should protect their homes and defend their country. They should be stationed at the frontier to protect the land and soldiers of foreign soldiers. This palace is the daughter of the first emperor, and Princess Yihe, the daughter of Empress Xi Muqiong of Shunying. Back to the border."

The jade pendant moved up and down according to Qi Bao's breathing. After hearing what Qi Bao said, Qi Zhen took a step forward and said loudly: "Qi Xiao is a relative of the royal family. He is actually seeking power and usurping the throne. It is hard to tolerate the law of nature. Why is it based on emotion and reason!"

"The whole world is the Qi family, and they are all in the same line as the founding emperors. Besides, the late emperor has already accepted Your Majesty as a daughter, so we can show the will of heaven and earth." Qi Wei's eyes were blurred, and she could only hear Qi Zhen's angry questioning. She could imagine How angry Qi Zhen should be at this moment, betrayed by the only relative, but how willing she is to give up Qi Xiao, seeing her in a deadlock, no matter which side she is on, the other side will be hurt, what she can do is Minimize the damage to both parties as much as possible.

Turning his head slightly to Qin Dian's direction, Qi Bing forced himself to urge: "General Qin doubts the authenticity of this soldier talisman?"

The hasty words made Qi Ping cough loudly, and Qi Xiao nervously stroked Qi Ping's back to prevent the wound from tearing further.

"I dare not." How could Qin Dian mistake this piece of nephrite? He handed it to Xi Muqiong back then, because the word "Qiong" was carved on it, which not only means beautiful jade, but also one of the characters in Xi Muqiong's name. The wedding gift can also be regarded as the gratitude of the two generations of the Qin family to the Xi family.

Holding his breath, Qi Ping put down the jade pendant in his hand and said to Qi Xiao, "Your Majesty, is there anything else I would like to ask?"

"En." Qi Xiao only hoped that the siege would end and the imperial doctor would come quickly.

"Forgive me, Qi Wei lives."

He stroked the hand behind his back for a while, Qi Xiao didn't know how to answer for a while, if Qi Xiao won this contest, then letting Qi Zhen go would be like feeding a tiger into trouble, of course Qi Xiao knew Qi Xiao's concerns, squeezed the jade pendant in his hand and said: " Today I sacrificed my life to save you, I hope your majesty will read this and let Qi Zhen go, if your majesty..."

"Okay, I promise you." Qi Xiao interrupted what Qi Bao was going to say next, and nodded vigorously, "I promise you, I promise you everything, as long as you are fine, don't think about it anymore, take a good rest."

"En." Qi Zhi was indeed tired. His tired body seemed to be floating in the air. Even Qi Xiao's words seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. He said with all his strength: "General Qin, retreat."

Qin Dian's chest trembled slightly. He was really worried about what would happen to the helpless Qi Wei if he retreated. At this point, Qin Dian could only clasp his fists again: "No!"

Hearing this sentence, the tense mind suddenly relaxed, and the body was not as heavy and painful as before. Instead, it was as comfortable as lying on soft cotton wool. I wanted to open my eyes and take another look at Qi Xiao, but found that even He didn't even have the slightest bit of strength, so he could only let his consciousness drift away.
