I hope to return to the country

Luo Yue was dying, in an extremely hasty and tragic way.

Jumping from such a high place as the Star Picking Tower, he fell so bloody and fragmented that he couldn't even put together a complete corpse, he could hardly be called a human being anymore.

The thick bloody smell was blowing towards the face with the night wind. Against this terrifying scene, the artisans and servants who had not had time to evacuate from the Zhaixing Building were frightened. Many people collapsed on the ground, unable to bear it. Live retching.

They believed that Luo Yuelin was thrown down by the crown prince, and they were afraid that they would be implicated and would not live long. Their backs were chilled in fear. Seeing Qin Zhiyi stepping out of the gate of the Star Picking Tower was like seeing the soul seducing him. Like the Lord Hades, they knelt together tremblingly, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged endlessly.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me!"

"Forgive me!"

Qin Zhi didn't look sideways, stepped on the blood-stained bluestone slab with strides, and ordered his cronies and subordinates in an orderly manner with a cold voice.

"Let Yun Zhiyu and others come to identify the corpse. Make sure it is Luo Yuelin himself. The rest of the people here can be released from the palace after they find out that they have nothing to do with the Qingdan Society. Sun Qingjiang and Lu Rong are fully responsible for the defense of the capital. , and then the cabinet issued a decree that the emperor was seriously ill and recuperated behind closed doors. From today onwards, the East Palace will supervise the country, and the garrisons from all walks of life will not be dispersed. Hurry up, order the five hundred feather guards, and then I will leave the palace."

The subordinate kept nodding at first, but the more he listened, the more something went wrong. When he heard the last sentence, he raised his head in astonishment and said in surprise, "Your Highness! How can you leave the palace at such a critical moment? Your Majesty hasn't swallowed yet... ····No, I haven't passed away yet, so there is no guarantee that the rebels in the capital will not resurface. You should make a decision first, succeed to the throne tonight, and become emperor tomorrow, so that the overall situation can be stabilized, compared with the country , other people and things are not worth mentioning, later on..."

With a sound of "cang clang", Qin Zhiyi had unsheathed his long sword and put it on his neck, his usually calm and indifferent face showed obvious anger.

"Who says it's not worth mentioning?"

The cold blade was pressed against the man's skin, chilling to the bone.

"If you are incompetent and can't handle the errands well, then it is better to die in my hands now, than to be dragged away by the resurgent ashes to be skinned and gnawed, and divided into pieces!"

Qin Zhi is not a violent and vicious person, and he is usually very good at accepting advice, but at this time, the fierce determination in his eyes is like a raging fire, which is enough to burn people to death in an instant.

The subordinate's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​trying to persuade Qin Zhiyi to stay.

"It's my subordinate who overstepped. Please rest assured, Your Highness. This subordinate will definitely go all out to handle the errands, guard the capital, and avoid your Highness's worries."

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, when the horse galloped out of the city gate, Qin Zhiyi held the shiny emerald tightly in addition to the reins.

When Le Zhiyu disappeared last time, his mood was like being entangled by thousands of tangled water plants and continuously falling to the bottom of the abyss. It was dark and suffocating, and he could only rely on the light of hope on the distant water surface. To be able to breathe a little.

Fortunately, Le Zhiyu was safe and sound, and was found by him smoothly.

They reunited after being separated, they were honest with each other, there was no quarrel, and they passed the test of Mrs. Yang hand in hand in Wuyou Valley, and got engaged lively.

The candles were burning brightly, as evidenced by heaven and earth, he still remembered Le Zhiyu's wet eyes, rosy cheeks, and soft lips from crying that night. The little bunny with sugar, and the whisper that was pasted on his heart and counted the beating of his heart before going to bed.

"Brother Qin, I like you so much, I want to be with you forever."

The jade clenched in the palm of the hand was painful, as if a sharp thorn had grown out, piercing the blood, growing wildly and crushing towards the softest place in Qin Zhiyi's heart.

It's because he is too self-righteous, thinking that Wuyou Valley is far away from the world, and there are formations and obstacles blocking the way. Mrs. Yang is still such a decisive and good mother who is eager to love her son. Le Zhiyu will get the most secure protection if she stays there .

What's more, he still has manpower outside the valley. Once there is a change in the valley, he will immediately guard the checkpoint to prevent people from leaving, and fly pigeons to report to him.

But the jade that Le Zhiyu was wearing was in the hands of Luo Yuelin, and neither Mrs. Yang and other people in the valley, nor the spies who stayed outside the valley, had ever sent any news to Qin Zhiyi.

This can only show that the inside and outside of Wuyou Valley are completely under the control of the enemy, and the situation that Le Zhiyu encountered is probably worse and more dangerous than last time.

Although Luo Yuelin died, the uneasiness in Qin Zhiyi's heart did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.

Qingdanhui has been planning for many years, its forces are complicated, and it has captured Le Zhiyu's crucial hole card. Luo Yuelin can completely withdraw and leave before Qin Zhiyi captures Miyagi. With his scheming methods, I don't worry that there will be no day of comeback in the future, but why doesn't he leave?And why did he admit defeat so quickly and die so simply?Could it be that I really couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy?

The way he behaved before he died was not like a disheartened and fearful suicide, but a sacrifice without hesitation, which might lead to even greater disasters.

Le Zhiyu was at the center of this calamity and was in danger.

"drive!"

Qin Zhi also urged the horse sharply, and galloped away into the depths of the night.

When Le Zhiyu heard that Ning Yuancheng told him to hide, he didn't figure out what happened, but his reaction was much faster than his brain now, and he subconsciously squatted down and turned over to hide behind the big rock, avoiding it. Sharp crossbow arrows shot from a distance one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the silent and deep mountain forest just now was filled with the terrifying sound of killing intent bursting. Several well-dressed men in black were holding sharp weapons, and Chao Ning Yuancheng rushed towards Ning Yuancheng one after another. The sound of swords clashing It's endless, and it's frightening to hear.

After the initial panic, Le Zhiyu tried his best to calm himself down a little.

Although the current situation is dangerous, this is another great opportunity to escape given by God.

Ning Yuancheng was entangled by these assassins, so he probably couldn't care less about chasing him. As long as he was more cautious and ran faster, he would be able to successfully get rid of this trouble.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, endured the soreness in his legs, lowered his body, lay down in the grass behind the stone, and crawled quietly to the distance.

The fight over there was in full swing, and no one seemed to notice the little movement here. Le Zhiyu pursed his lips tightly, and even his breathing slowed down a bit, his elbows and knees were tingling from being rubbed in the chaotic haystack Itching, but he didn't even say a word, and even increased his speed cautiously, crawling farther and farther.

Hold on for a while, just for a while, as long as I climb to the back of the hillside over there, I can hide in the woods and have a chance to really escape to find Brother Qin.

In fact, Le Zhiyu was almost exhausted, but his desire to see Qin Zhiyi was too strong, and he forced him to hold on. Seeing that he was approaching the hillside, and victory was in sight, he unexpectedly found the hiding place. Two dark figures near the hillside.

The two men were masked, dressed exactly like the assassins over there, they should be accomplices, and at this moment they were furtively holding up the crossbow in their hands, aiming in the direction of Ning Yuancheng.

The arrowhead of the bow and crossbow should have been silver, but under the moonlight, it glowed with black light, which must have been poisoned.

Le Zhiyu was stunned and spat hard in his heart.

Shameless villain!

It's despicable to have the ability to fight openly and aboveboard, and to use this kind of sneak attack and poison behind the back!

Cursing is scolding, but Le Zhiyu can't control so much, not to mention that his three-legged cat's kung fu can't deal with these two assassins, if people are alarmed, even if the assassins don't kill him, Ning Yuancheng will find him The attempt to escape, caught him back again.

This is his last chance, and he can't miss it just because he is soft-hearted and meddling in his own business. Ning Yuancheng forcibly wants to take him to Lingxi, and he is no longer his friend. It has nothing to do with him whether he lives or dies.

Le Zhiyu clutched the turf unconsciously with his fingers, struggling to convince himself.

Anyway, since Ning Yuancheng is so skilled, nothing will happen, I'd better run away while no one finds out.

He gritted his teeth, and was about to sneak away in another direction, but he turned his head and glanced behind him by mistake.

Under the light of the fire, Ning Yuancheng was still steadfastly guarding in front of the boulder, the shadow of the knife was flying, and the sharpness was like rain, his face and body were covered with little spots of blood, and it was unknown whether it was the blood from his injury or those assassins. of.

His movements were too fast, like lightning and flint, he had already killed most of those assassins.

The two people who were hiding in the grass and making a sneak attack probably wanted to hit with a single blow, and they didn't take it lightly. They moved around with Ning Yuancheng's movements with their bows and crossbows, looking for the most suitable time.

Le Zhiyu has practiced martial arts for some time, and he can see that as long as Ning Yuancheng leaves the stone, he will occupy a better terrain, and it will be more beneficial to kill the enemy with him, but he would rather put himself in the In the midst of pinching from left to right, he took great risks and refused to take half a step away from the stone. He did this because he thought that Le Zhiyu was still hiding behind the stone and he wanted to protect him.

"Okay, let's do it."

The assassin's voice from not far away reached Le Zhiyu's ears, causing him to suddenly pull his eyes back from Ning Yuancheng. He didn't know whether it was because of a disturbed conscience or a feverish head. Did he care about Ning Yuancheng's life or death? He casually grabbed a sharp piece of gravel on the ground, stood up abruptly, and threw it at the two of them forcefully.

The attention of the two assassins was all on Ning Yuancheng, and they didn't notice Le Zhiyu. Caught off guard, one of them was hit on the forehead by a stone, grunted, covered his head and bent down in pain, In an instant, bright red blood seeped out from between the fingers, staining the cuffs red.

Le Zhiyu didn't expect that his aim was so good, and he almost applauded himself in surprise, but when he saw the murderous eyes of another assassin, he shrank back in fright and ran away.

The assassin guessed that Ning Yuancheng had probably been alarmed, and there was no hope of a sneak attack, so he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand towards Le Zhiyu's fleeing back in embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yuancheng's eyes widened, he leaped onto the big rock recklessly, and jumped towards this side with his strength.

"Little Yu!"
