Living forever in the deep palace

There was a young woman, about 28 years old, very pretty, who was being escorted here by two old men in black and white robes.

Behind them, the bamboo forest collapsed with a huge roar. Thirty black dragon heavy armors appeared, like thirty huge black iron beasts, charging forward with murderous intent.

"Maybe there's a misunderstanding..."

Su Chen prepared to explain something.

boom!

The thunderous sound of a bowstring rang out, and a black feather arrow pierced through the rain curtain and shot out from the hands of the Black Dragon Guard Captain, taking Su Chen's life.

"Anyone who knows what happened tonight will be killed without mercy!"

"No misunderstanding."

"You die too!"

He was roaring.

That's the case.

There's nothing more to say.

"it is good."

Su Chen nodded.

Bang!

The black feather arrow can kill a second-grade cultivator and seriously injure a first-grade cultivator. It can hit the jade energy outside the body of Su Chen, a second-grade cultivator, and instantly turn him into ashes.

The Black Dragon Guard Captain's eyes froze with murderous intent.

His hand holding the bow trembled.

He...he seems to have offended someone serious!

This night.

There was a roar of thunder.

Su Chen stretched out his hand.

With the courtyard as the center, the heavy rain suddenly became still, and the rain stopped in mid-air, and in the rolling thunder, it turned into a sword.

The sword storm of the seventh year of Jianwu reappears in the world.

"No!"

"This may be a misunderstanding..."

The Black Dragon Guard Captain wanted to explain.

however.

None of this matters anymore.

tonight.

It's quiet now.

The heavy rain was stained with blood.

The scene was silent.

The female musicians of the King of Qi, as well as the two elders, Black and White, all stopped in their tracks; there was no need for them to flee anymore.

Outside this shabby fenced courtyard, corpses with broken Black Dragon heavy armor were scattered everywhere. They didn't even reach the door of the courtyard and died in the bamboo forest a hundred meters away.

"My Lady Princess, do you still have this kind of back-up plan?"

"Why didn't you tell us!"

"This is the world-famous Black Dragon Heavy Armor!"

"With such a master, even if we fight back and rescue the prince, there is still hope..."

The two elders, Black and White, two second-grade masters, exclaimed repeatedly, their pale faces turned rosy, and their eyes were full of surprise.

but.

Only the Qi King's female musicians were disheveled and trembling in the wind.

This time.

It was her turn to be afraid.

"Second Elder, what is this person's cultivation level? Is it possible... just like you... only at the second level..."

Only the daughter of King Qi knew clearly.

This person is not her helper at all.

As early as in the bamboo forest, she saw this person standing in the wind and rain, wearing straw clothes and a straw hat, and the rain could not get close to him. It was obvious that he was practicing.

That shout was just to make this person die in his place.

No matter what.

It can also share some of the Black Dragon Heavy Armor's manpower...

result.

This person is a little too strong.

"Second-grade, there are also strong and weak ones."

"But, this person is definitely not a second-grade one."

“The Black Dragon Heavy Armor is world-renowned. It is difficult to penetrate it except for the first-grade one. Moreover, he has borrowed the power of wind and rain. He is not only the first-grade one, but also the peak first-grade small master. Even in the Imperial City, there are no more than two palms.”

Hear the words.

The King of Qi's female musician felt dizzy, almost suffocated, and her body was shaking.

First-grade junior grandmaster?

Still at the peak!!!

This is someone whose Majesty Xuanlong is still alive, and we have to be polite to him and not dare to provoke him.

What did she do?

"Princess."

"With the top-level escort, we are safe now."

The two elders, Black and White, smiled easily, not noticing the princess's strange behavior at all. Instead, they asked the princess to introduce one or two things.

at this time.

The female musician of the King of Qi gritted her teeth and walked towards the mysterious first-rank official whose face she could not see at all in the rain.

"Zhou Le, daughter of the King of Qi, greets you, Senior."

"Thank you for your help, senior."

The two elders, Black and White, with smiles on their faces, also stepped forward to pay their respects.

however.

The next scene.

It scared them out of their wits.

"Do I know you?"

"roll!"

Su Chen flicked his sleeves.

boom!

The wind and waves brought heavy rain.

rainy night.

Stained with blood again.

The two old men and the young boy flew backwards into the distant bamboo forest like a kite with a broken string, and fell in a pool of blood, their life or death unknown.

soon.

The daughter of King Qi staggered to her feet, looking miserable and covered in blood, and kowtowed to Su Chen.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Senior."

"Le, thank you so much."

Done.

She helped the two people beside her up and walked away quickly.

"Did I hold back? How come I didn't know?"

"What was that just now?"

The Queen's female musicians have disappeared.

Su Chen walked into the bamboo forest.

Picked up a broken piece of jade pendant on the ground.

really.

He read that right.

Just now, a jade pendant exploded, emitting white light, blocking 70% of the wind and waves for the King of Qi's female musician. Otherwise, even a first-rank musician would have had a hard time surviving.

"It's a bit like the methods of immortals."

"After all, this is a dynasty of cultivation that has existed for over three hundred years. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and the Great Zhou should not be underestimated..."

There was a noise in the wooden house.

boom!

Su Chen flicked his sleeves.

moment.

The strong wind blew again, sweeping the corpses of the Black Dragon Heavy Armored Warriors and the blood on the ground deeper into the bamboo forest.

Qingque, holding the table leg, walked out nervously.

"Marquis Jiangling, are you here to arrest me?"

however.

Outside the house, heavy rain washed away all traces. The sea was calm and there was no sign of the previous fierce battle, and the famous Black Dragon Heavy Armor had died here at the hands of more than 30 people.

"what happened?"

"I seemed to hear some fighting just now, and I'm a little worried about you."

Qingque smoothed her hair and asked.

"You must have heard wrong."

"There wasn't any fighting at all. It was just lightning and thunder. The thunder struck and broke some of the bamboos in the distant bamboo forest."

His straw cloak was soaked by the rain. Su Chen raised his eyes, revealing his handsome face under the straw hat, and smiled.

"not to mention."

"I'm just an ordinary eunuch."

"If I really met a bad guy, I would have been beaten unconscious long ago."

"It's really just thunder."

Hear the words.

Qingque thought about it and it made sense. This Mr. Xu in front of him was only about twenty years old, an ordinary eunuch. He was probably driven out of the palace for being lazy and gluttonous. Living in this shabby courtyard, how could he be a hermit?

It seems that she is crazy about practicing.

Qingque returned to the house.

Subsequently.

She stuck her head out again and said.

"I'll boil some hot water for you, so you can wash up."

"It's cold."

"Don't catch a cold."

Su Chen nodded and prepared to go back to the house. After taking two steps, he felt the soil under his feet was a little hard. Looking down, he saw a bright yellow brocade scroll.

"It's a bit like..."

"Imperial decree?"

When I unfolded it, I saw that it was indeed the Emperor Xuanlong's will to pass on the throne.

Simultaneously.

It was also an imperial edict ordering the death of the prince.

The reason is that the prince committed treason!

As for the successor...

"interesting."

"Pass the throne to him?"

"If this imperial edict were to appear, the Great Zhou would be in great turmoil."

Su Chen casually rolled up the late emperor's edict, which could bring about huge changes in the Great Zhou, the six counties and ten prefectures, and the mighty forces of the world, and threw it into the ring.

the other side.

The daughter of King Qi fled to the bank of Jinjiang River. Her face changed and she touched her waist. She found that there was a hole in her robe.

The late emperor's will has disappeared.

"Could it be... lost in that bamboo forest?"

"hateful."

"Who is that person? He's a top-tier talent. Why haven't I heard of him? I haven't even seen his face clearly..."

She didn't dare go back to the bamboo forest again. The life-protecting jade token was extremely precious. This one was given to her father, King Qi, by the late emperor.

"If that doesn't work, then please ask Long Xuanjun to take action. He is of the Supreme Rank, so retrieving the will will be a piece of cake..."

"I'm afraid that upon meeting Lord Long Xuan, this person will kneel down and beg for mercy, presenting the late emperor's will with both hands before he can even make a move."

Yes.

Go find Long Xuanjun.

The daughter of the King of Qi gritted her teeth and looked at the two old men, Black and White, who were barely breathing and had become a burden. A cruel look flashed in her eyes.

"Feel sorry."

The daughter of the King of Qi walked alone.

The surging Nujiang River surged up, and two blood-red streaks appeared.

……

……

"Please pay your respects."

The sky is dark and the earth is dark.

It was still raining heavily.

Su Chen was wearing a straw cloak, and Qingque was holding a bamboo umbrella. They came together to the depths of the bamboo forest in the courtyard, where there was a lonely grave.

"Aren't you going to Beijing?"

Qingque's face was full of suspicion.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing half a piece of broken jade.

moment.

Qingque was as if struck by lightning. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief, his voice trembling, and his bamboo umbrella fell to the ground.

"How... do you have this?"

She hurriedly took off the broken jade that she had worn for fifteen years, and stumbled over. The two broken jades fit together seamlessly, as if they were one.

"This is your mother's grave..."

Qingque looked at the lonely grave and her eyes turned red.

On the painted boat.

She had thought countless times about the scene when she would find her parents, and how to express her hatred for them for abandoning her.

But, I never thought it would be like this.

This emotion...

She is so sad.

"mother!"

Qingque cried loudly. In front of the lonely grave, she hugged the tombstone and let down her guard. For the first time, she looked like a helpless girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Even when she was on the tower ship, facing the Marquis of Jiangling, and all she saw was a dead end, she never felt so helpless, but resolutely jumped into the river to die.

The rain was pouring down and the thunder was roaring, getting heavier and heavier.

The rain wet the bluebird's clothes.

"You'll catch a cold."

A bamboo umbrella was held above Qingque's head.

Qingque raised her eyes, and her red eyes met a pair of clear eyes.

She is still crying.

Rain curtain.

bamboo forest.

In front of the lonely grave.

A man in black held an umbrella for the crying girl in plain clothes for a long time.

The crying stopped.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

But for some reason, no matter how strong the wind was or how heavy the rain was, it could not wet even a corner of the girl's clothes.

"What kind of person is she?"

the girl asked.
