Chapter 286 General Tiance enters the palace and kills people!
The sword duel between the old man in green clothes told the story of the eight hundred years of martial arts. After the duel, the divine wooden sword that had been upgraded because of the legend of the sword maniac hovered in the air and then fell steadily to the side of Li Guanyi.

The wooden sword is plain, and the blade is not as elegant as the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd or the Scarlet Sky Sword.

There are many pits and bumps on the sword body. On the sword body, there are small seal inscriptions just like the Autumn Water Sword on Li Guanyi's waist, which naturally emerge and seem to have a slight sharpness.

The old man in the green robe walked over, but he no longer had the unmatched sharpness as before. Instead, he looked a little old. Murong Longtu pulled out the wooden sword and threw it to Li Guanyi.

"I had a blast. My martial arts and swordsmanship have all reached perfection."

The old swordsman smiled and said, "Let's go."

Li Guanyi couldn't believe it, but then he was overjoyed. He stood up and took a step forward, grabbing Murong Longtu's wrist, but he paused, sensing that the vitality in the old man's body was almost completely dissipated, but there was still a wisp of light.

Along with the dragon's roar, the red-gold flames gathered and rose, transforming into an incomparably huge red dragon. The ancient red dragon said, "I am also happy about today's battle. Murong Longtu, I have written down the agreement you made that day."

"Today's battle is no less exciting than the battle when the whole world surrounded and killed the Overlord."

"I will keep this battle in my mind."

With the dragon's roar, the red dragon rose up. All the martial artists in the city bowed and watched the old man in green clothes who had handed them the last sword walk away with the support of the young man.

This was the last time these people saw the blue-robed swordsman in their lives.

The magic weapon in Jiang Su's hand turned into flowing light and dispersed. He thought about the old swordsman's last words, which led everyone to join forces to attack him. He sighed, not knowing what kind of emotion to maintain, and said, "It's bitter, it's bitter."

The old man had said to everyone before: "You can try to kill me together."

"Murong Longtu will leave behind the vitality of a sword in the end."

"My life span is no more than three years."

"Or a sword."

After the last battle, the Green Shirt Sword Maniac left a trace of sword energy in his body. At that time, Murong Longtu said those words to all the masters in the world who could kill the young man with a single-handed surprise attack, and said calmly:

"Within three years, this last aura will dissipate, and Murong Longtu will die in the martial arts world. But within these three years, if anyone dares to take action against my child,

"Then, who will be the target of Murong Longtu's sword?"

"Gentlemen, you can give it a try."

Legends spread throughout the world about the five palace masters, the ten great masters, and even the general trend of the world.

He was actually killed by this swordsman who was about to die of old age with his last sword.

Maintain it by force.

Jiang Su looked over and saw the young man supporting the world's number one swordsman and walking away. The wooden sword was spiritual and slowly flew beside them. The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd and the Scarlet Sky Sword all turned into streams of light and flew to Li Guanyi's side.

"Great Grandfather, I was so scared, I thought you were going to..."

Murong Longtu smiled and said, "Ha, I can't live as long as you want, but these people won't let me fight until my last breath. Your great-grandfather doesn't ask for a permanent stay in the world for hundreds of years, but I won't be so fragile."

"This battle is satisfying! It's so satisfying, so satisfying. The martial arts world is boring now."

Murong Longtu glanced at the many masters.

The old man put his hand on Li Guanyi's shoulder and went back with him, saying some simple words, saying that the edamame today tasted good and the wine was also good. Li Guanyi said that he had also encountered this.

The two returned to their residence together.

Murong Longtu seemed extremely tired. He gradually fell asleep while chatting with Li Guanyi. The old man sat there and slowly closed his eyes. Li Guanyi held Murong Longtu's hand and felt that the old man's pulse was still there. The life force was indeed maintained.

"Your mother was the most naughty when she was a child..."

"He loves to grab my hair."

Murong Longtu closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. Li Guanyi held the old man's hand. The hands that once held the sword and were invincible were now full of wrinkles. Li Guanyi waited until Murong Longtu fell asleep completely before he put the old man's hand back.

Ling Pingyang, Wen Lingjun, and Wen He all knew what happened today.

Murong Longtu shocked the world.

And Li Guanyi was assassinated by more than twenty assassins.

The blue Taoist robe on Li Guanyi's body was stained with blood. Although his wounds had all recovered under the effect of the immortal body, to outsiders, the blood-stained robe was really horrifying.

Li Guanyi stood up.

Wen Lingjun looked at his back, his throat moved, and he was almost unable to speak for a moment.

They are all talented people and they all know who will attack Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi's voice was uncharacteristically calm.

"The person who took action used the power of 'Red Dragon Suppressing the Nine Provinces'."

"At this moment, there are twenty-four people, young and old."

"When my great-grandfather was fighting to his death, they surrounded and killed me."

His voice was calm, but Wen Lingjun was speechless. The young man stood up, walked out and said, "Sir, don't be here anymore. My old man is mentally exhausted today, so please don't make a fuss."

Wen Lingjun remained silent and nodded. Everyone came out. Li Guanyi asked others to bring some ingredients. He washed the rice himself, cooked a bowl of meat porridge, cut the vegetables skillfully, and made a meal. He said nothing and was quiet.

Finally, he wiped his hands, estimated the time when the food would be ready, and said:
"Pingyang."

Ling Pingyang took a half step forward and said, "My Lord."

"Send 500 cavalrymen from the Qilin Army over, and the remaining 500 cavalrymen will protect the refugees."

Ling Pingyang bowed and said, "Yes!"

Wen Lingjun's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

He was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do. Li Guanyi said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, sir. I just want to do it myself. Li Guanyi was born a fugitive. Do they really think that Li Guanyi will let them control him?"

The young man smiled, and then said to Wen He next to him:

"Sir, bring me my armor."

Wen He said nothing, but reacted quickly at this time.

Li Guanyi untied his bloodstained Taoist robe, only wearing an inner garment, then soft armor close to his body, heavy armor for various parts, and finally a scarlet battle robe with civil and military sleeves. While putting on the armor, he said to the person next to him: "Cook this porridge for a while longer. When the time is about right, simmer it over low heat."

"Yes."

Wen Lingjun finally spoke: "My Lord, where are you going?"

Li Guanyi said, "Mr. Lingjun, you finally changed your words. It's a pity that I'm going to do something that will disappoint you. Since they attacked me, are we just going to pretend that nothing happened?"

Wen Lingjun remained silent for a moment, then said, "We can have other ways."

Li Guanyi said: "But I want my own method."

"Sir, you are the king. Today, Li Guanyi wants to be overbearing."

"What are you going to do?"

Li Guanyi replied:
"kill."

Wen Lingjun's face turned pale.

There were bursts of solemn sound of horse hooves coming from outside. Qilin was not there, but there were dragon horses waiting for him. Ling Pingyang and other 500 heavy armored men were the top elite under Yue Pengwu, the closest thing to the three heavy cavalry in the world.

Now that they knew their lord's experience, they were all calm and solemn, holding heavy spears in their hands. Logically, such external troops should not be allowed to enter the city, but Ling Pingyang directly led his troops to charge, and the defending officers and generals did not dare to stop him.

Li Guanyi put on his armor and picked up Murong Longtu's wooden sword.

Then get on your horse.

The sound of five hundred horse hooves crashed down like thunder.

This General Tiance who had just gained great fame.

Enter the palace and kill people.

.....................

The imperial palace is so big, it is actually a large palace complex. One part belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, and the other part belongs to the royal family. The real imperial palace and the part that the people refer to include all of these.

Among them, after Ji Daochun's death, the oldest ones were Ji Yanzhong and Ji Yingqing. Ji Yanzhong was a kind-hearted elder, and all he wanted was the Scarlet Sky Sword and the inheritance of the Scarlet Emperor, while Ji Yingqing's lineage was scheming and secretly influenced the court.

At this moment, pine resin was burning in a bronze animal head incense burner.

Ji Qingqing, who became the head of the royal family after Ji Daochun's death, was flipping through a volume of Taoist scriptures, saying some words about the supreme inaction. A servant beside him couldn't help but said worriedly, "Grandfather."

"Those assassins under his command seemed to have failed to kill Li Guanyi."

Ji Yingqing just said calmly: "Oh, what a pity."

Even so, he remained nonchalant. His grandson gritted his teeth and leaned forward and said, "Grandpa, you can't take it lightly like this."

"Li Guanyi's great-grandfather is Murong Longtu. I heard that he defeated the entire martial arts world today. He even fought against the ancient red dragon that fought alongside His Majesty the Red Emperor eight hundred years ago."

"If Murong Longtu comes looking for us, the guards in the palace will not be able to stop him."

A chess piece falls to the ground.

Ji Yingqing was reading a book and playing chess at the same time. He looked at his grandson calmly and said, "You came to my house?"

"What are you talking about in your sleep?"

"If we don't mention it, Murong Longtu himself will not live long."

"Have you memorized the swords of the emperor, the princes, and the common people?"

The young man said, "I have memorized it clearly."

Ji Yingqing said: "Recite it for me to hear."

The young man said, "The sword of a common man, with disheveled hair, drooping hat, long tassels, short clothes at the back, eyes closed and difficult to speak. If they hit each other in front, the neck will be cut off and the liver and lungs will be cut off. This sword of a common man is no different from a fighting cock. Once the life is gone, it is useless for state affairs."

Ji Yingqing nodded and said calmly: "Just remember it clearly."

"That so-called Murong Longtu, the swordsman of Jianghu."

"In this world, I am just an ordinary person."

He picked up a chess piece and said, "It's round like jade and polished to perfection, but what's the use? It's just a bigger chess piece on the chessboard."

"No matter how high a person's martial arts skills are, he cannot kill a hundred thousand soldiers. But even if he kills a hundred thousand soldiers, what use will it have on the world's situation?"

"He is just a bigger chicken. He tried to show off his power for a while, but he lost his life. He is just a ridiculous fool. As for Li Guanyi, although he has some skills, he is just borrowing power and reputation. Since he wants to use this name and power, he has a handle."

"The Daoist scriptures say, if you gain something, you lose it."

"I'm afraid that Li Guanyi won't enter this world of fame and fortune."

Ji Qingqing stroked his beard and said:

"My little nephew has some skills, better than you. He gave everything he could to Li Guanyi. It's a pity that he has the courage but not the brains. He is too young and too kind. He hasn't suffered enough setbacks in this world of fame and fortune."

"But I don't know that it would be fine if Li Guanyi didn't have this name, but with this name, it's much easier to manipulate." "Everyone knows the goodness of fame and wealth, but they don't know that a true hero is strong without desire. A true hero must be like water, without weaknesses, without obsessions, and without desires." Ji Yingqing's voice was calm, and the young man showed a respectful look on his face, and said:
"That's what grandpa taught me."

Ji Yingqing stretched out his hand and picked up a white chess piece. The chess piece was shrouded in his palm. The old man was in very good condition, with white and slender hands. He seemed to be holding a puppet and said lightly:
"Money, power, beauty, prestige, how many heroes in the past, present and future cannot see through him, how many heroes who are heroic outside, when they come to the capital, will be softened by beauty and exhausted by power."

"You must also remember that relying on power is the right way to achieve our desired goals without bloodshed."

Ji Yingqing instructed his grandson and said with a smile, "You, you just play dumb in front of me. You pretended that Ji Zichang was sick, lured out his childhood sweetheart, and poisoned her. Then I won't say anything about you."

"But you are acting stupid in front of me today."

"Haven't you already found the great fortune teller and told him that the Sword Madman is doomed to die? Li Guanyi's greatest support is gone. Right now, I'm afraid Li Guanyi is holding the dying Sword Madman in his arms, crying."

The young man smiled and said:

"I still believe what the grandmaster said."

"That day, Ji Zichang's sons were all killed by his curse."

"Well, the world is going to change, but the changes in the world will not implicate us in any way. I know what you are thinking. I am already this old, and I have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world for my whole life. I think I will have a good end and be posthumously named Wen Zheng after my death."

"If you were in your twenties, the world would probably be destroyed."

"But no matter which of the Chen and Ying states wins the world, when you come here, you go open the city gate, take out the jade seal, kneel down respectfully, and it won't be difficult to save your life. You may even be able to exchange it for a marquis."

"Look, the world is in turmoil, but we are standing firm. Li Guanyi, Chen Dingye, and Jiang Wanxiang are just passing clouds. No matter who wins, you and I will have wealth and glory. This is the way of power."

"It's a pity that Li Guanyi, the man holding the Scarlet Sky Sword, was not killed."

"Not yet a royal family."

"Shouldn't he die?"

"Shouldn't I be dead for being on good terms with Ji Zichang?"

The grandfather and grandson were talking when they suddenly heard a series of noises outside. The sounds were noisy and frightening. Ji Yingqing was still calm and played chess quietly. His grandson Ji Tuanxiao went out to see what was happening. He walked through the screens and curtains facing the light and said impatiently:

"Who is this person who is making trouble here? Aren't you afraid that he will be taken away by the Imperial Household Department and punished?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ji Tuanxiao's eyes froze.

In front of him, a fully armed war horse stood up, the horse did not stop, the warrior riding on the horse was dressed in black armor, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and held a black spear in his hand. He just followed the horse's momentum and stabbed forward with the spear.

The shot did not kill him, but passed through the side of Ji Tuanxiao's cheek and cut off his hair.

"Pingyang, stop, don't kill him!"

"You will be in trouble if you kill him."

Ji Tuanxiao recognized the voice.

It’s Li Guanyi!

He breathed a sigh of relief, with a majestic royal demeanor on his face, but he wanted to ask, "How do you manage your subordinates, Qin Wu Hou? ! Don't you take the people of this world seriously?"
He couldn't tell it.

The neighing of war horses sounds like the roar of dragons.

Another warhorse rushed out from the side, and the young man on it simply grabbed the spear from Ling Pingyang's hand. The spear tip trembled and went straight through Ji Tuanxiao's chest, and a stream of blood spilled out.

boom! ! ! !

The tremendous force carried Ji Tuanxiao flying backwards.

Breaking through layer after layer of screens.

Blood spilled all over the ground and landed in the pond, causing hundreds of koi to tumble like waves.

Ji Tuanxiao was pierced by a bullet and nailed next to an old man who was reading Taoist scriptures and playing chess inside. The gun had such great strength that it pierced through Ji Tuanxiao's body and still nailed the gun blade into the ground. The blood was red and Ji Tuanxiao struggled constantly.

Ji Yingqing seemed to be in disbelief and seemed to be hesitant.

The rules he was familiar with seemed to be broken at this moment.

The sound of the warhorse fell.

The horse's iron hooves landed in the luxurious house, making a crisp sound. Li Guanyi, who was wearing a battle robe and armor, pulled the reins with his left hand and let the warhorse come in and eat the rare flowers that Ji Yingqing bought with a huge sum of money.

Ji Yingqing raised his head and looked at Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi was sitting on his warhorse and looking down at him with a cold gaze. Li Guanyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear. In just a moment, his internal energy burst out.

Ji Tuanxiao's heart was shattered.

"If I kill him, nothing will happen."

Everyone in the palace was stunned and couldn't believe it. This royal family member who was the emperor's cousin was killed like a chicken. When the wind blew over, it brought the smell of blood and chaos.

Li Guanyi drew out his spear. Ji Yingqing was in a trance for a long time before he came back to his senses and said:

"you you you……"

"You killed the royal family, and you even dared to kill His Majesty's brother?!"

"What about the overall situation? Don't you have the overall situation and the general trend in your eyes? You just got your name, your reputation, don't you cherish it?! You can't bear the momentary anger and ignore the overall situation, you, you..."

Li Guanyi said: "At most, I don't want your title of Marquis."

Ji Yingqing's face turned pale.

Li Guanyi said: "It was you who sent the assassin to kill me on this day?"

Ji Yingqing said: "It's not just me."

This sentence directly pushed the suspicion onto more people.

Ji Yingqing added: "The emperor is coming, you dare not kill me."

The voices of the imperial palace guards could indeed be heard from behind. The Qilin Army had entered the palace with heavy cavalry, and the imperial guards had gathered together. Ji Yingqing showed a trace of calmness and a smile on his face, and said, "General Li, don't go against the general trend."

"You killed my grandson, so we have a back-and-forth relationship."

Li Guanyi said: "You are wrong."

He thrust the spear in his hand forward.

The sound of steel piercing flesh.

The blade of the spear pierced Ji Yingqing's throat and passed through from the back.

The old man's voice paused.

He is a truly strategic man from an aristocratic family. His proficiency in planning and grasping the general trend is even better than Wen Lingjun. However, perhaps because he has stayed in this high position for too long, he has lost sight of the true nature of this world's heroes.

Ji Yingqing stared at Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi drew out his spear, the tip of which was tinged with blood. He wore a dragon-patterned sword on his waist. He seemed to have grown up in that instant. His voice was calm and a little bit calm:

"I control all the troops in the world, so I don't need to borrow their power."

"I am the trend."

He drove his warhorse around and saw Ji Yingqing kneeling on the ground unwillingly, holding his throat. In his last blurred vision, Li Guanyi, who was wearing heavy armor, a battle robe, and a golden hair crown, threw the spear back into Ling Pingyang's hands.

A sword energy flew towards him, and then he felt a pain in his neck.

The shrewd and calculating man of the royal family just closed his eyes.

There was no battle of wits, no dispute over the overall situation, no rules he was familiar with, just a gun and a sword!
The Qilin Army's heavy cavalry was armed with Tiqi spears. Outside this palace, the imperial guards had rushed over after hearing the news. The faces of the imperial guards' generals changed drastically, and many members of the royal family had also come. Their faces changed slightly, but they were all faintly happy.

"Li Guanyi finally fell into the trap."

"He won't do anything to Ji Yingqing."

'Hahaha, this is really a stigma!'

But the faces of these royal family members turned pale the next moment, because when Li Guanyi came out riding a war horse, his battle robe was stained with blood, his left hand was holding the reins, and his right hand was holding a severed, white-haired head.

Li Guan raised his hand and threw Ji Yingqing's head down, rolling on the ground.

"Today, an assassin tried to kill me."

"They are all from the royal family. There are twenty-four assassins in total. So we will gather twenty-four of them."

A man from the royal family who was in collusion with Ji Yingqing was furious: "Marquis Qin Wu, don't do that—"

Zheng! ! !
A sound of bowstring and a scream.

The man's shoulder was shot directly through. Li Guanyi held an ancient war bow in his hand, with his battle robe fluttering. This young man who would gallop across the world for the people held the Broken Clouds and Shocked the Sky bow and raised his hand to throw out a token. The token was as dark as gold, with two big words on it.

【Tian Ce】!
General Tiance, in charge of all the troops in the world.

The five hundred heavy cavalrymen behind Li Guanyi were stern and cold. Li Guanyi pulled the reins and the horses moved forward slowly. The momentum was like a mountain collapse, and finally made the royal family pale. Li Guanyi said:
"The Imperial Army has 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are at my disposal."

"Capture this man for me. If you cannot hand him over, I will personally take the twenty-four heads."

The commander of the imperial guards turned pale and could only bow in response.

Li Guanyi held the sword and looked at the distance. The Qilin Army moved forward indifferently. When passing by the old men of the royal family, the young man said calmly: "Since you want to say that I am a powerful official."

"Why don't I fulfill your wish?"

The expressions of the old men were stiff. They finally realized that there was a difference between people with power and people with strength. Li Guanyi rode his warhorse slowly away and replied:

"As you wish, Li Guanyi is now a powerful official."

He gripped the wooden sword at his waist.

"I will tell His Majesty the Emperor about what happened today."

"Everyone, get your heads ready."

The warhorse paused slightly, and a man on horseback came towards it.

It’s Jiang Wanxiang.

Li Guanyi pulled the reins of his warhorse. Jiang Wanxiang looked at Li Guanyi and laughed loudly:
"The autumn hunt hasn't started yet, why is General Tiance so anxious?"

Li Guanyi looked at Jiang Wanxiang and replied:
"The autumn hunt has already begun, hasn't it?"

In the autumn of the eleventh year of the Tianqi reign, General Tiance, who was in charge of the imperial court, rode into the palace, killed two members of the royal family, then rode out to admire the flowers and met Emperor Ying.

The emperor said: "The autumn hunt has not started yet, why are you so anxious?"

The emperor replied: "It has already been opened."

There was still half a month left before the traditional autumn hunting of the Red Emperor, but people in later generations only regarded the conversation between Qin Wuhou, whose war horses' hooves were stained with blood, and Yingdi outside the palace gate on that day as the beginning of this event.

The sword maniac went out into the world, and when Marquis Wu of Qin was assassinated, he led 500 heavy cavalry into the palace to kill people.

Three events are seen as the beginning of the end of this era.

That night, Qin Wuhou entered the palace to "apologize".

On the second day, the heads of twenty-two high-ranking leaders of aristocratic families and royal clans fell down and were respectfully sent to the mansion of Qin Wuhou.

On the third day, His Majesty the Great Emperor of Zhongzhou, Ji Zichang, said:

[Autumn hunting begins].
