Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Chapter 198: Shooting Arrows

"I'm not interested in competing with you."

Li Xuan frowned, and the sword vibrated with a humming sound, defeating Luo Chuan's true energy in front of him, and the oppressive feeling in the room dissipated a lot.

Luo Chuan tried to concentrate again, but found that his internal energy was suppressed by the sword energy for several seconds before it dissipated.

He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashed across his eyes, and the eagerness in his heart became even more difficult to restrain.

Li Xuan was more fun than he expected.

Li Xuan seemed to see through his thoughts. He frowned slowly, trying to suppress the fishy sweetness rising in his throat, and then put his hands behind his back inconspicuously to hide the bulging blue veins caused by the internal force.

The reason why Luo Chuan has been able to roam under the swords of the elders of various sects for so many years is definitely not just because of luck. He also has many more years of combat experience than Li Xuan.

If he fights with him, he will have to give 100% of his energy and thoughts, and he also needs a body that can withstand a protracted battle. Li Xuan has always hated himself, but now he has Ye Zhen and the future in his heart.

Ye Zhen also told him to go back early.

Besides, his target is the Crown Prince and the Queen, so there is no need to waste his energy on meaningless things.

Luo Chuan laughed softly upon hearing this, "It should be said that the previous leaders of the Qing Sect did not have your courage."

"I originally wanted to take money from others and help them get rid of their misfortunes. The little money the prince gave me was not enough to risk my life, but now... you have to compete with me whether you want to or not."

As soon as the voice fell, he swept the whisk in his hand, and the soft thing pointed straight to the ground. At the same time, the dark blue Taoist robe moved without wind, and the murderous aura was more than twice as strong as before.

Luochuan formed seals with his fingers, and four magic bells appeared from nowhere, ringing so loudly that everyone felt dizzy.

The prince was protected by the soldiers and dodged. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Luochuan, this evil Taoist is a disaster to the country and the people. If you can strangle him, you will be the Grand Master of the Great Zhou in the future."

"Those Taoist priests who are chasing you will have to bow to you when they see you in the future."

Luo Chuan had been preparing for this, but when he heard the prince's words, his face immediately turned black. He couldn't help but said coldly, "I am the only one in the Great Zhou who can be called a demon."

"So what if he's not the second son of the Marquis's Mansion? All those old men in the Qing Sect are dead. How could they not figure out his identity?"

"Since you've allowed him to take over the sect, that means you approve of him."

"When the prince asked me to come, the money he gave me did not include killing people."

At this point, he did not give the prince a chance to speak, "Besides, if I really kill him, will those Taoists from the Qing Sect let me go? Even though they were all defeated by me, I don't want to have to hide from those flies all day for the rest of my life."

Luo Chuan's series of words stunned the prince, who couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Finally, my eyes twitched and I thought, what a lunatic!

Li Xuan'an's brows were furrowed more and more. As Luochuan's overwhelming airflow approached, he had no choice but to snap his fingers. Four red talismans appeared in the void, tearing through Luochuan's true energy and wrapping up the bell.

Without that strange sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, Luo Chuan moved and Li Xuan swung his sword to receive the attack.

Everyone could only see two afterimages fighting back and forth, with very few sounds of weapons clashing. Only the strong wind that was emitted made them uneasy, reminding them how terrifying the game between masters was.

The two men fought from inside the house to outside. Luo Chuan bit Li Xuan too close, which made him angry.

As soon as they left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince saw that the emperor's face was livid and his lips were pale and colorless, so he said kindly, "Father, he can't save you."

The prince took two steps forward and stretched out his hand towards the dragon table. "I still hope that you can hand the imperial seal to me personally. At your age, father would prefer peace rather than fighting with swords and guns."

The emperor's chest felt congested. He wanted to point his finger at the prince and curse him, but he couldn't raise his arm. He could only look gloomy and ask, "Are you threatening me?"

The prince shrugged, "Father, you are too kind."

"You have been deceived by the evil spirit. I have committed an unforgivable crime by mobilizing the Northern Camp Army without authorization. However, the safety of the Great Zhou and my father is much more important than me."

"My mother thought so too. Besides, the Imperial Guards have close ties with the demons, so I'm afraid they are not clean either. My mother took her token and moved everyone out of the Imperial City."

"Don't worry, father. Your son and I will never allow you to have any traitors around you."

The emperor was so angry that his lips trembled. What else could he do by sending the imperial guards out? He must have killed his confidants and then sent their people in.

"Traitor?" The emperor was extremely angry, and smiled twice with the corners of his mouth twitching. "Yes, I should have listened to her advice at the beginning and not let the daughter of the Song family take charge of the harem alone."

"Although there has been a virtuous concubine to balance the harem over the years, she is kind-hearted and can never be a match for the queen."

"Prince Yu's mother... is also a fool. She doesn't love her own son, but lets Prince Yu praise a wet nurse to the sky! In the final analysis, it was the Queen and you who acted well and made me let my guard down."

In fact, after Prince Yu left Beijing, Li Xuan hinted to the emperor more than once that he could relax his vigilance and nothing major would happen.

Unfortunately, the emperor, who claimed to be in control of the overall situation, only realized now that the queen had probably asked Luochuan to secretly interfere with the imperial teacher's divination. In fact, there is another possibility, but the emperor is reluctant and does not want to question Li Xuan'an now.

The prince didn't understand who the emperor was talking about, but when Empress Song came to the door, her face was icy cold and her voice sounded like it came from hell, "Your Majesty, I don't think you regret not listening to Chen Bu's advice, but you regret not being able to keep her in the palace."

When the emperor saw the empress approaching slowly in a golden phoenix dress, there was no longer the youthful shyness that he had when they first met. Instead, there was only the cold majesty that had been tainted by power for many years.

He clenched his fists. For the first time, he did not avoid or deny the fact that he could not get Chen Buchu's love. In front of the queen, he said, "I regret that I cannot live the life she likes like Dingyuan Hou for the sake of power."

"She is the only woman I have ever loved and the one I love the most in my life!"

The queen's laughter sounded more painful than crying. "Your Majesty finally admitted it. I am happy for you. For so many years, you have been avoiding and covering up. A king of a country did this for a woman who practices Taoism..."

The queen sneered. She had obviously seen through everything and had given up her love and expectations for this man long ago. But when she heard these words unexpectedly, her heart still ached.

"That's all. Your Majesty, just write the imperial seal and the edict of succession, and I'll have the crown prince send you to Qingzongmen, so that you won't fall sick from homesickness."

The emperor fell down on the dragon throne. Seeing that there were only a few eunuchs guarding him, and the prince and the queen's men were all around him, he suddenly felt exhausted.

The only thing that still gave him hope was Li Xuan, who was being harassed by Luo Chuan outside.

After a while, the emperor seemed to accept his fate and sighed, "Tell Luochuan to stop."

"If he is harmed in the slightest, I will never let you get what you want."

Only in the second half of the sentence can one hear the arrogance of a king.

"Hahaha." The Queen raised her head and laughed, "Your Majesty, do you think you still have a chance to negotiate with me?"

"Why do you feel sorry for this demon? Maybe this fake was deliberately placed by Dingyuan Hou and Chen Buchu next to you to taunt you."

If the emperor had not recognized Li Xuan'an's identity in advance, he would have felt as if a thousand arrows had pierced his heart at this sentence.

"Besides, he is the crown prince's military expedition. If you release him, doesn't that mean the crown prince admits to forcing the emperor to abdicate? What is your majesty thinking?"

The emperor said, "That's all the grudges between me and them. What does it have to do with you?"

The queen's eyes were filled with ice. She stopped arguing with the emperor and turned to urge the prince, "Don't let anyone shoot the arrows! Isn't it time enough?"
