This is your world

The cold wind blows.

Emperor Zhao, dressed in a black gold dragon robe, slowly stepped into the forbidden area alone.

There was deathly silence in the forbidden area.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Emperor Zhao came to the backyard. In the backyard, several black figures fell in a pool of blood in the snow. The surrounding area was in a mess and turned into ruins.

This scene illustrates the fierce fighting that took place here not long ago.

Emperor Zhao glanced coldly, and then he stepped into the room in front.

In the dark and dusty room, the surroundings were in chaos.

Empty, deserted.

Emperor Zhao went straight to the bookshelf and gently turned a book on the shelf.

Soon, the door to a secret room slowly opened from beside the bookshelf.

The quiet and cold secret room passage exudes a bit of chilly air.

Emperor Zhao rolled his sleeves and strode into the secret room.

…

A quiet and warm secret room.

The decoration is beautiful, and the night pearls light up the huge secret room.

The entire secret room is like a palace built underground, extending in all directions and exquisite.

It's late winter outside now, with heavy snowfall and cold weather.

But the secret room was as warm as spring and filled with warmth.

In a secret room, in a hall.

There was silence all around, and bright light illuminated this world.

A snow-white figure sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, eyes slightly closed.

There was a hint of deep thought on the cold and beautiful face.

This silent and harmonious scene lasted for a long time.

Until not long after, the gradual sound of footsteps seemed to suddenly break the calm.

She opened her eyes.

A familiar figure appeared in the line of sight not far away.

"Yinger!"

Emperor Zhao approached slowly and came into the hall.

Zhao Ying raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, without saying anything, and closed her eyes again.

Behind Zhao Di's hands, when his eyes fell on Zhao Ying's belly, a complex emotion suddenly emerged.

Then, he hid the coldness in his eyes.

"Ying'er, why are you doing this?"

Emperor Zhao spoke slowly, with a deep sigh in his voice.

Zhao Ying had no reaction at all.

"This evil seed in your belly cannot be kept!"

Emperor Zhao spoke in a deep voice.

When Ying'er returned to Beijing smoothly, she brought back Zhao Qi's body. But at the same time, it also brought news of her pregnancy.

Why couldn't Emperor Zhao guess who the father of the child in Ying'er's belly was?

Li Beifeng!

So……

This child cannot be kept!

Hearing this, Zhao Ying opened her eyes again. Her cold beautiful eyes met Emperor Zhao's eyes, and then she lowered her head slightly and looked at her belly.

"It's my child, no one can hurt it."

The voice was very soft, but full of determination and no doubt!

Seeing this, Emperor Zhao felt an indescribable expression of hatred for iron.

"This evil seed is his... his seed from Northern Qi. As the eldest princess of Dazhao, how can you give birth to his seed from Northern Qi?!"

Emperor Zhao was heartbroken and said in a deep voice: "Ying'er, don't forget your current identity..."

"If you want to keep this seed, how can I safely hand over the country of Dazhao to you? If something goes wrong in the future, will the country of Dazhao be surnamed Zhao or Li?!"

Ying'er, I'm confused!

However, in the face of Emperor Zhao's questioning, Zhao Ying always turned a deaf ear, her eyes were cold and calm, and she remained unmoved.

Emperor Zhao was silent, but his eyes became increasingly gloomy.

Now Ying'er is his sole heir to Dazhao, and the one he has high hopes for.

As the heir of Zhao, Emperor Zhao would never allow her to have anything to do with Li Beifeng.

What's more... a child? !

Emperor Zhao knew very well how many unstable factors the existence of this evil breed would bring.

The existence of children may even affect Dazhao's future.

How could his bloodline from the Jokhang royal family be mixed with bloodline from an enemy country? !

Absolutely not!

Emperor Zhao's eyes gradually turned cold: "This child must not be kept... For the sake of Da Zhao and yourself, think about it carefully!"

After saying that, Emperor Zhao turned and left.

In the hall, only Zhao Ying was left again.

Zhao Ying's eyes were still calm and her head was lowered.

She could feel the presence of the child in her body, as if she had a spiritual connection, and there was a gentle light in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Then, the gentle look gradually disappeared.

A look of worry gradually emerged.

She raised her eyes and looked forward, silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Outside the secret room hall.

Emperor Zhao walked out expressionlessly.

Outside the secret room, several palace maids and several palace midwives stood, respectfully paying respects.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Zhao glanced at them, his eyes fell on the midwives among them, and said coldly: "When is the child in Ying'er's belly expected to be born?"

One of the midwives said respectfully and anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is expected to be within this half month, no more than a month at most..."

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, nodded, and then said expressionlessly: "Take good care of Ying'er and make sure Ying'er is safe. If anything goes wrong with Ying'er, I want your heads!"

"yes!"

Then, Emperor Zhao waved his sleeves and left.

backyard.

Emperor Zhao left the secret room and reappeared in the backyard.

At this moment, the corpses in the backyard had been disposed of cleanly. The blood stains on the ground were almost completely cleaned up.

In the courtyard, there were several figures standing.

"Where are the people?"

One of the generals knelt down in front of Emperor Zhao and said with shame on his face: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to capture and kill him. Please forgive me!"

"Ran?"

Emperor Zhao stared at them coldly with his eyes focused.

For a moment, everyone present fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have informed the imperial guards in the palace to strictly guard the palace gate. He must still be in the palace, and your subordinates will definitely find him out!"

"You'd better not disappoint me!"

Emperor Zhao looked at them expressionlessly and spoke coldly.

After the soldiers in the courtyard left, Emperor Zhao came to his senses. Behind him, there were two shadows.

"You two stay here!"

Emperor Zhao glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "After Ying'er gives birth to that evil child, we must deal with that evil child secretly. There must be no mistake!"

"yes!"

…

It's quiet at night.

Inside the palace.

Two figures passed through the darkness, climbed over the high wall, and fell into a palace courtyard.

Then, the two of them walked along the palace courtyard and came to a dilapidated room.

The room was covered with dust and cobwebs, and it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

"Ahem..."

A soft cough sounded. Li Beifeng covered his chest and took a few deep breaths.

"Is it serious? Will you die?"

A playful voice came from the side. Zhou Qiuning stood next to him, folding her arms and saying with a half-smile.

"Can you please order something good from me?" Li Beifeng asked angrily.

Zhou Qiuning waved her hand: "Don't I care about you? Besides, if I hadn't saved you just now, you would have died long ago!"

Li Beifeng said nothing.

Indeed, if it weren't for Zhou Qiuning's help tonight, he might not have died here, but he would have been in a terrible state.

It might even cost you half your life.

At this moment, it was finally safe for the time being.

Li Beifeng immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to perform exercises to heal his injuries!

In the forbidden area, Li Beifeng had just approached the door of the backyard when he felt a majestic momentum approaching.

The majestic momentum gave Li Beifeng no time to react before he was injured.

This made Li Beifeng shocked, surprised and in disbelief.

Now that martial arts has become one of the best in the world, Li Beifeng is confident that there are very few people in the world who can casually hurt him.

But tonight, he learned a solid lesson!

The martial arts strength of the master hidden in the secret is probably unfathomable.

Even... it is extremely possible that he is on the same level as the Taoist nun!

With such terrifying strength, Li Beifeng was seriously injured easily. At the moment, Li Beifeng had to quickly exercise his energy to heal his injuries.

Zhou Qiuning on the side saw this and did not disturb him anymore. He glanced around and walked out of the room.

…

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Beifeng slowly finished his work.

After the exercise and healing, coupled with his extremely fast recovery speed, the injury has improved a lot.

However, the injury was still serious. It may take some time to recover.

He took a deep breath, slowly stood up from the ground, looked around, and then realized that Zhou Qiuning was missing.

Where are people?

Li Beifeng walked out of the room and glanced around.

This is the palace where Empress Jozhao lived. After the death of the Queen of Jozhao, this palace remained and was sealed up.

A few months ago, Li Beifeng broke into this place alone and met Zhou Qiuning here.

And tonight, he and Zhou Qiuning were chased by countless masters in the palace.

The two fled all the way and finally hid here temporarily.

This is the safest place currently.

As the late empress's palace, no one would have thought that the two of them would hide here. As for the experts outside, no one dares to break in here at will.

At this moment, Zhou Qiuning's figure walked out of the room on the other side.

"Where have you been?"

Li Beifeng looked at her and found that Zhou Qiuning looked a little embarrassed, and there was a lot of dust on her clothes.

"Clean up!"

Zhou Qiuning rolled her beautiful eyes.

"Cleaning?"

"Nonsense, this place is so dirty, how can we rest tonight if we don't clean it?"

Zhou Qiuning curled her lips: "There are people everywhere out there trying to catch us both. Your injury is not healed, so let's not leave the palace for the time being!"

In Li Beifeng's current state, let alone fighting his way out of the palace, there is still a question of whether he can escape after being caught by those people.

For now, I can only make do with it here for one night before making any plans.

Then, Li Beifeng followed to the room next to him.

After walking in, I found that the room was quite clean. For the two of them right now, having a place to stay is not bad.

The only problem is...

There is only one bed in the room!

However, this doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.

The cold wind in winter was biting, especially for Li Beifeng, who was injured at the moment. His sense of the cold wind was much stronger, and his whole body was chilled.

After entering the room, he quickly closed the door and covered the windows tightly.

The room was completely plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, their eyesight was pretty good, and they could barely see each other's presence clearly.

"Tell me, do we look like thieves?"

Zhou Qiuning's slightly meaningful laughter came from the side.

"Have you ever seen a thief hiding like this?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her, then climbed onto the bed. There is a blanket on the bed. The age of the blanket cannot be seen. The dust on the blanket is wiped off, but it can barely be used as a cushion under the body.

Zhou Qiuning chuckled lightly. In the darkness, her beautiful eyes fell on Li Beifeng. She was smiling. She seemed to want to say something more, but she saw Li Beifeng's face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked.

"Emperor Zhao, I'm afraid he has recovered from the poison I gave him!"

Li Beifeng spoke in a deep voice.

Zhou Qiuning was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"It's already obvious!"

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Judging from the fact that Emperor Zhao set up a trap tonight and laid a dragnet to kill him, Emperor Zhao is obviously very confident!

He is a smart man, and so is Li Beifeng.

Before, the planned cooperation between Li Beifeng and him was a conspiracy against each other. Li Beifeng used him to bring down Zhao Jing, and Emperor Zhao used Li Beifeng to regain his freedom.

How could Emperor Zhao not predict that Li Beifeng would definitely think of some way to control it.

The best way is to take medicine!

Now, Emperor Zhao dares to quarrel with Li Beifeng, which is enough to show that he may have broken the poison Li Beifeng gave him!

That's why he was so unscrupulous and killed!

"But……"

Li Beifeng frowned: "How did he do it?!"

The poison he gave Emperor Zhao was a highly poisonous one recorded in that medical book, even worse than Wu Du Powder!

How did Emperor Zhao crack it?

"besides……"

Li Beifeng thought of something else and said in a deep voice: "Who is the mysterious master who injured me tonight? Do you know?"

He looked up at Zhou Qiuning.

Zhou Qiuning knew more than him. Even the existence of the forbidden areas of the Jokhang Palace was something Zhou Qiuning had told him before.

"Actually, I'm just guessing..."

Zhou Qiuning nodded and shook his head.

She came to the bedside, got on the bed as well, sat cross-legged and face to face with Li Beifeng, then propped up her little face, her beautiful eyes fell on Li Beifeng, and suddenly said: "Have you ever heard of the Guardian of Jokhang?"

"Guardian of Jokhang?"

Li Beifeng frowned: "Who?!"

"To be precise, the guardian of Jokhang is not one person, but a generation..."

"According to legend, when the Jokhang Dynasty was founded, there was a master with unfathomable martial arts beside Taizu. This master was later appointed as the guardian of Jokhang..."

"The guardians of Jozhao have been passed down from generation to generation, and their duty and order is to protect the stability of the Jozhao royal family..."

Zhou Qiuning said thoughtfully: "There have been rumors before that the Guardian of Jozhao has always been in the forbidden area of ​​Jozhao's palace. But for so many years, almost no one has seen its existence."

"If the rumors are true, then the person who injured you tonight is most likely the guardian of Jokhang!"

"Guardian of Jokhang?"

Li Beifeng murmured to himself. This was the first time he had heard of the existence of this person. As if thinking of something, Li Beifeng asked again: "How strong is this Da Zhao Guardian? Has he entered the realm of a grandmaster?"

"Grandmaster?"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head gently, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"If this Jokhang Guardian is the one I remember, then..."

"He is probably the most powerful master today!"

"none of them!"

"..."
