Chapter 1643 Escort!
Judging from the old Yao Wang's performance, he firmly believes that the things in Yuquan Palace can help him remain invincible.
But no matter what, Bai Hengbo's sudden death was a major loss to Qingyang's plan.
She glanced towards the Frost Fairy Palace, as if she could see through the door and wall, and saw the smug look on King Yao's face:
Without their leader, would Bai Hengbo's men still listen to Qingyang? They were not familiar with her.
And now King Yao summoned her into the palace, Qingyang sensed hidden murderous intent.
This old guy wants to transfer her away from the Fourth Prince and the ministers, and then lure her into the Frost Fairy Palace and kill her?
Needless to say, the situation in the Frost Fairy Palace was fraught with danger, and it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed if she entered.
The other party pretended to be confused, so Qiu Long had to make it clear: "The king wants to discuss a few words with the regent and the special envoy Wu first."
Qingyang showed concern on his face, and spoke slowly and softly: "How is the king's health? I just saw that his eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was heavy, and he spoke with a spitting sound. He was really exhausted. I have some elixirs here that can nourish the qi and calm the mind. Would the king like to take some?"
She secretly calculated that the time was almost up, what on earth was Bai Tan doing!
Qiu Long complained in his heart, isn't it all your fault? But he still had to force a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you have rested for 25 minutes and you are much better now."
Qingyang sighed with empathy: "Old guys like us can't stay up late at night when we are old. It's young people like Your Highness who are full of energy."
She gently placed one hand on the fourth prince's shoulder, her face full of love. The fourth prince couldn't shake it off, and his face was slightly embarrassed.
Bai Hengbo is dead, and the opponent has the advantage of terrain, so she has to eliminate the opponent's advantage.
The old fellow Yao Wang probably guessed why she wanted to summon the persons in charge of the Tianshui East Expansion Project, and he was now anxious to separate them from Qingyang.
That's right, she was planning to catch them all tonight. Those who could participate in the Tianshui East Expansion Project were basically Yao Wang's diehard fans, and they were Yao Wang's base.
He Xiao screened out all the people who should be killed for her with just one project. How efficient!
Especially the fourth prince.
This young man is smart and studious, and is favored by his father. Since Qingyang has started a rebellion, the fourth prince is an important target.
He usually does not live in the palace and is surrounded by heavy guards. If Qingyang does not find a reason to lure him in and kill him, he is afraid that he will escape from the city after the mutiny in the palace, causing endless troubles.
Wang Zirui is very popular among his subjects. If he escapes and raises his arms to call for support, many generals will probably support him.
The gods hope that the Golden Plains will be in chaos, but Qingyang does not like the changes brought by the fourth prince.
Qiu Long was also secretly anxious. This old witch must have seen something, she neither ran away nor entered the palace, just stood there, and even pulled the fourth prince!
He had no choice but to take a step forward and half-insert himself between the Fourth Prince and Qingyang: "Your Highness, the King wants you to go to the back hall."
Wang Zirui had already sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere, so he responded and walked away.
At this moment, Qingyang suddenly felt a slight tremor in his arms.
She casually took out the water mirror and took a look. Her eyes fixed slightly and she was overjoyed.
There are four big words on the mirror:
Passed the palace gate.
Good, good, good!
This is the victory news sent by Bai Tan. He has led his army through the palace gate and directly into the palace!
The first major hurdle of tonight's operation was finally overcome.
Qingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stopped pretending. He smiled and said to Qiu Long, "I think the fourth prince should come with me into the palace."
According to the plan she had prepared in advance, once Bai Tan passed through the palace gate, Bai Hengbo should take action immediately.
But Bai Hengbo was already dead.
Qingyang didn't want to get involved, but now he had no choice but to do so.
The fourth prince had already taken three or four steps, but she waved her hand and the boy staggered back.
Qiu Long was quick and swift, he blocked in front of Qingyang, and swung out the short axe, slashing between Qingyang and the fourth prince -
Qingyang quietly stuck a silk thread on Wang Zirui's shoulder. With just a pull, he could pull the unsuspecting Fourth Prince back, like a puppet.
At the same time, Qiu Long roared with his tongue like thunder: "Protect the emperor!"
He is only two years younger than King Yao, but when he fights he is as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger, how can he look old and frail as usual?
The silk thread on the Fourth Prince's body broke with a sound. Qiu Long bent his elbow outward, and the short axe suddenly became longer and sharper, aiming straight at Qingyang's chin.
He used a pair of Ziwu double axes, which were very different in shape from ordinary axes. They were slender, narrow and pointed, more like a crutch mounted on the arm, and the gust of wind they created could reach more than six feet long!
This pair of axes was obtained from a medieval battlefield. They were originally the relics of a great general. Qiu Long paid a large sum of money to have them modified and carefully maintained for more than 20 years before they became so handy.
All I heard was a clear "ding" sound, like the sound of jade chimes striking each other.
It was naturally not so easy for his axe to injure Qingyang. The opponent raised a short stick to block the attack, and then made a scooping water motion. With a scoop and a shake of his wrist, he naturally removed all the power of the axe, and at the same time stirred Qiu Long into the invisible energy!
Qiu Long felt as if he was being dragged into a whirlpool and could hardly stand.
Great.
The opponent was put into a passive position without even using any magical powers.
As for the long staff in Qingyang's hand, the axe hit it several times, but not even a white mark was left.
Even ironwood that is hundreds of years old is not as hard as this, but the stick is still wrapped with vines and has a few green leaves.
Qingyang's other hand was originally behind his back, with a string of red beads on his wrist. At this time, his five fingers moved lightly, and he made a quick gesture like plucking a string, then he attacked Qiu Long.
The gesture seemed to push something forward, and a green rune lit up on the palm.
Qiu Long didn't feel anything unusual, but the air around him suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing him so hard that he couldn't move.
In the eyes of others, he just stood there frozen, unable to even lift a little finger.
Body-fixing technique!
After the Middle Ages, this spell had been lost, and no one expected it to reappear in Qingyang's hands, and to be used so smoothly. Once it is successfully performed, it can freeze the enemy within seven feet on the spot.
As for how long it can last, that depends on the size, strength and resistance of the opponent.
When dealing with ordinary practitioners, Qingyang's move can at least hold them for six breaths, but because of the obstruction of his Yuan power, Qiu Long can only be controlled for about three breaths.
If it is used on Aunt Zhu who caused havoc in Heaven back then, it is hard to say whether it can last for a moment. After all, Aunt Zhu was wearing the remains of the ancient spider fairy at that time, and her size was bigger than a thatched house.
But Qingyang was confident about how to deal with Qiu Long. He cast a spell to immobilize him and deflected the tip of his staff, which pierced into Qiu Long's throat as he stared in horror!
In her hand, the end of the staff was as strong as a needle tip. She stabbed forward and backward on the spot, leaving a bloody hole in Qiu Long's neck.
A few faint lights flashed across Qiu Long's body. Those were the activation of his protective magic weapons, but they were unable to withstand Qingyang's true power.
Three breaths are enough.
This set of moves was so smooth that before anyone else could react, Qiu Long lost his life. Qingyang's performance was effortless, without any extra effort.
Even when she stabbed Qiu Long to death, her attack seemed gentle and restrained, without any murderous intent.
The guards under the eaves just rushed over and saw Qiu Long being killed by Qingyang in two rounds. They were shocked and rushed to protect the fourth prince.
"Your Highness, please come into the palace quickly!"
Why should they say more? While Qiu Long was buying himself some time, the fourth prince had already strode towards the Frost Fairy Palace.
While running, he felt numbness in his shoulders and couldn't move his arms free, but with the crisis looming behind him, he didn't care about this abnormality.
Qingyang did not chase after him.
Wang Zirui ran to the top step in one breath, and when he felt it was safe, he turned around to look.
The imperial guards stood on all the steps, pointing their spears at Qingyang and Bai Hengbo's men.
The two sides confront each other.
The other ministers also woke up from their shock and hurried to the steps of the Frost Fairy Palace and hid behind the guards.
How come I entered the palace today and happened to encounter a rebellion?
But the people here are basically civilians, there are no military generals, and they cannot help with defense.
Qingyang was leaning against the ground with her long staff, still walking leisurely, but Wang Zirui noticed that in addition to the original green leaves on the tip of her staff, a small purple flower had actually bloomed.
It is light and agile, much like a clematis.
Then, something on the ground moved.
Wang Zirui was horrified when he saw it:
Qiu Long actually climbed up!
The reason why Wang Zirui was not happy but shocked was that Qiu Long's moving posture was not like that of a normal human being. He crawled on all fours at first, then he unexpectedly leaned back and stood up, bumping into things everywhere. How could he be as calm and cautious as usual?
“Qiu Long!” As far as Wang Zirui could remember, Qiu Long had watched him grow up. Seeing this very familiar old palace maid with crooked eyes and mouth, making hoarse sounds, and unable to even speak, he could not help but angrily asked, “What did you do to him!”
Qingyang held the wooden stick, and the small purple flower on the top of the stick swayed in the wind. This peaceful and gentle beauty was incompatible with the current atmosphere.
"This flower is called the Soul Flower." She smiled, "When my staff eats a person, it will extract his living soul as well, leaving him no chance to fake his death."
She pointed at Qiu Long who had fallen down after hitting a tree and said, "Lord Qiu Long, although his body is alive, his soul is gone. This body has become a living dead with spirit but no soul!"
Qiu Long probably also had a treasure that could serve as a substitute for death, which took effect automatically after she pierced his throat. However, the devil was more powerful than him, and Qingyang easily took away his soul. His body, which had just come back to life, could still move, but his mind was empty.
"Poisonous woman!" As the door of the Frost Fairy Palace rang, King Yao strode out with a rage on his face. "How could there be such a vile person like you in this world? I treated you with great courtesy, but you killed my generals, harmed my offspring, and conspired with Bai Tan to seize my kingdom."
Qingyang's expression changed slightly: "Bai Tan?"
"No need to pretend. I have already dismissed Bai Tan from his post, and someone has already gone to deal with him!" Yao Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "You are trying every way to delay time, aren't you waiting for Bai Hengbo to come back? I tell you, he is already back, you can see him when you turn around!"
A group of people suddenly rushed into the outer courtyard gate of Frost Fairy Palace and stood right behind Qingyang and the Qingweis. The leader was Zhao Song.
He held up a head and said sternly, "Here is Bai Hengbo's head. Why don't you surrender? Kneel down and I won't kill you!"
The head was still dripping with blood, its facial features were distorted, and it still contained the fear it had in life.
But it did not prevent everyone from seeing clearly that this was Bai Hengbo!
