Although no one followed A Dong here, I still didn’t dare to take it lightly and let Che Hao quietly send A Dong to Wanhua Tower.
Murong Yanyan hid him without hesitation.
Although Adong saw someone assassinate Yan Yuanji, he has not heard of Yan Yuanji's death so far, and cannot prove that Yan Yuanji was killed.
So who was instructed by whom to assassinate Yan Yuanji in this series of events?
Doubts have been lingering in my mind for a long time and cannot be dispelled.
Because Queen Jing went to the Ancestral Temple to worship her ancestors, I couldn't pass the news of Yan Yuanji's murder to him.
On the one hand, I asked people to find out where Shen Chi had arrived, and on the other hand, I started to prepare countermeasures intensively.
Shen Chi's progress is much slower than I imagined.
He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to rush to Qindu.
Could it be that he is waiting for the news of Yan Yuanzong's death?
The real competition has not yet begun, and the battle to test the endurance of both schools has begun.
Yan Yuanzong's life and death has become the key to the overall situation.
The more he can live in this world, the greater the chance that Empress Jing will defeat Yan Xingqi.
After Queen Jing paid homage to the Ancestral Temple, she returned to the palace that day.
When she passed Fenglin Pavilion on the way, she got out of the car to rest accompanied by Eunuch Xu.
When I heard the news that she took the initiative to visit me, I felt a little surprised.
Maybe something had happened to Queen Jing, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to come to my home.
Although I am her adopted son, now I am an envoy from Kang State who came to discuss the alliance.
What's more, Yan Xingqi is very wary of me.
If he knows that Jing and I have been in close contact, he will definitely It is suspected that we are preparing to join forces to deal with him.
Jinghou couldn't hide the panic on her face, so I hurriedly invited her into the study and just closed the door.
Queen Jing trembled: "Li Ji really didn't lie to me.
Emperor Xuanlong's tablet fell down again."
I saw the look of fear on her pretty face, and I hurriedly helped her sit down on the chair and said softly: "Mother, don't be afraid, you have a drink of water first."
I made a cup of tea for her.
After Jing took a few sips, she put down the tea cup.
Her mood seemed to have stabilized a bit, and then she described what she saw in the Ancestral Temple to me in detail.
"When I was visiting the ancestral hall, the late emperor's tablet suddenly fell from above and almost hit me."
Jing Hou recalled the scene just now and was still in shock.
I frowned.
As far as I'm concerned, I never believe in anything about ghosts.
Even after hearing Li Ji and Jing Hou recount this incident, I still firmly believe that there is probably someone behind it.
Jinghou said: "I even heard someone calling my name."
Her lips lost color.
This was the first time in my memory that she looked so panicked.
Jinghou shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I asked the warriors to search around the Ancestral Temple.
There was no one else in the ancestral hall except me, and I clearly heard someone calling me."
She said with tears in her eyes, "I I’m really afraid that I’ve offended the deceased emperor because of what happened between us, and he’s here to take revenge on me.”
I leaned over and kissed Jinghou's cold lips.
She struggled with some resistance and said softly: "We can't do this.
Now that he has found me, I'm really afraid that he will bring trouble to you."
I pressed her delicate body against the corner, grabbed her wrists with both arms, kissed along her cherry lips to the base of her ears, and kissed her silky smooth skin from top to bottom.
She gradually softened under my hot kiss.
I pulled off her skirt and she The gorgeous long dress fell to the ground like a waterfall.
Her body was perfect and exquisite.

Compared with the young girl, she was not frightened.
A tear slowly slid down her cheek.
Her body and mine were suddenly entangled.
In one place, slowly falling to the ground along the wall The bright red on Jing's face could not fade away for a long time.
The pleasure I brought her made her forget the fear just now.
She held my big hand and whispered softly: "I seem to be much calmer now."
Under my gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
I knew that my Wu Jian Xuan Gong had a certain calming effect on her.
When I was in Dahan that day, I used the same method to cure Empress Jing's condition.
Heart disease I kissed her deeply and then said: "Yan Yuanji has been assassinated, and his life and death are unknown now.
Shen Chi deliberately delayed his return to Beijing, obviously waiting for the news of His Majesty's death."
Empress Jing sighed peacefully and said: "Reappointing Shen Chi was the worst decision I have ever made in my life.
Now I finally understand why the late emperor demoted him to Jeju."
I whispered: "It's not too late to mend the situation.
This time, we must first find a way to cut off Shen Chi.
Getting rid of him is equivalent to cutting off one of Yan Xingqi's arms."
Jing Hou said: "Shen Chi is so smart.
Although he has always been ambitious, he is an official in the court who is self-denial and has a good reputation.
It is not easy to kill him."
I nodded and said, "I want to go to the Ancestral Temple to investigate.
I always suspect that someone is behind the scenes of what happened to my mother."
Jing Hou pondered for a moment and took out a dragon pendant from her body and handed it to me.
The dragon pendant is very familiar to me.
When she recognized me as her son, she gave it to me as a token.
Later, when I left When he was in the state of Qin, he returned it to her with his own hands.
I solemnly put away the dragon pendant
Jinghou said softly: "Put it away well.
I hope you will never give it back to me again in this life."
As night fell, I, accompanied by Che Hao and other warriors, arrived at the Ancestral Temple located on the west bank of Rouge Lake.
The last time I came to the Ancestral Temple, Yan Lin was married far away, so I could worship my ancestors with her.
Emperor Xuanlong is my adoptive father.
I have the dragon pendant as a token given by him personally, and with the handwriting specially given to me by Empress Jing, I can naturally enter the Ancestral Temple easily.
Although I can enter the Ancestral Temple, according to my status, I am not qualified to enter the ancestral hall.
As the adopted son of Emperor Xuanlong, I could only offer incense in front of the portraits of the emperors of the Qin Dynasty.
I knelt down respectfully in front of the portrait of Emperor Xuanlong.
Gazing at her tomb, I couldn't help but feel guilty.
I had indeed done many things that were sorry for him.
His wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law have all been possessed by me.
If there is such a thing as a soul in this world, the first one he will not let go of is me.
After I finished offering incense, I worshiped around the ancestral hall, and then put incense in the incense burner in front of the door.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, and I hurriedly closed my eyes.
Even so, the incense ash blew all over me.
Looking around, everything was calm and calm.
This cold wind seemed to be blowing from the ancestral hall.
I couldn't help but shudder in my heart.

Che Hao saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came to my side and said, "Master, what's the matter?"
I shook my head and whispered: "There must be something weird in this ancestral hall."
Che Hao said: "Why don't I go in and take a look?"
I stopped him and said, "No, outsiders are not eligible to enter the ancestral hall unless they are members of the Qin royal family.
Let's go back and discuss it first."
Walking out of the gate of the Ancestral Temple, it was already dark.
I stared in the direction of the Ancestral Temple and said coldly: "There was no wind in the sky just now.
The cold wind was clearly blowing from the ancestral hall."
Che Hao said: "I have observed the environment of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
It is heavily defended on three sides.
The weakest link is the side facing the tide.
If someone sneaks in, it must be through there.
I looked up at Leng Yue in the sky and whispered: "There is absolutely no such thing as ghosts in this world.
Today I am determined to get to the bottom of this matter."
Che Hao pointed to the Ancestral Temple and said: "Wait until midnight, I sneak into the ancestral hall to see what happens.
If there is really someone hiding inside, I will force him to escape from the ancestral hall, and I will take Tendor and the others to the rear of the Ancestral Temple to prepare for the interception."
I nodded and warned: "Brother Che, please be careful."
Che Hao smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry."
I took Tendor and other twelve warriors to find two boats and quietly rowed into the center of the lake.
After arriving at the Ancestral Temple, the Ancestral Temple was built on the rocks, at least twenty feet above the lake.
The foundation stones behind it were all It was polished so smooth that even a knife blade could not penetrate the gap.
There was no place to start.
Ordinary people would definitely not be able to climb from the lake to the top.
Tendor asked the warriors to prepare their crossbows.
If anyone really comes out of the Ancestral Temple, we will turn him into a hornet's nest in the air.
Time passed little by little.
We didn’t feel sleepy at all, and we focused on the direction of the Ancestral Temple.
I suddenly noticed a cloud of black smoke rising from the high wall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Looking carefully, the black smoke turned out to be the figure of a person.
Under the moonlight, he looked petite and graceful.
It should be a woman.
She Suddenly leaping up from the high wall, flying down like a ghost on the lake surface Then another black figure appeared on the high wall.
He should be much taller than the man in front.
I recognized it from his body shape.
He must be Che Hao and undoubtedly ordered in a low voice: "Shoot."
The warriors aimed at the black shadow in the sky and fired crossbows at the same time.
Unexpectedly, the petite black shadow suddenly changed its line in the air and fell towards the ship I was on like a meteor.
I suddenly pulled out the long knife and swung it in the air.
The sharp wind of the knife whizzed and slashed at the man in black.
The man in black raised his hands from his sleeves, giving off a bright metallic luster under the moon.
Clamping the blade of my knife with both hands, her body paused in the air.
I roared and rotated the handle of the knife, and her body took advantage of the momentum to spin like a windmill.
The tip of her toes accurately touched the spot on our other ship.
There was only a muffled click, and the small ship was violently shaken into two pieces from the middle.
The six warriors on board screamed in joy. , lost balance and fell into the water The warriors on my ship fired another row of crossbow arrows.

The heel of the man in black hit the bow of the ship, and half of the ship's planks suddenly stood up.
All the crossbow arrows hit the ship's planks.
I roared angrily, held the knife in both hands, and struck her down with all my strength.
When the blade passed by, I split the boat plank into two pieces.
The man in black tapped his toes on the head of the warrior in the water, and his body had already swept away towards the lake shore.
Che Hao was in the air, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out three feather arrows like lightning.
The man in black waved his hands, deflecting all the arrows, and suddenly his palms flew out, nailed to the half of the ship's plank, and suddenly shot towards Then he pulled it over, and his body just landed on the board of the ship.
After a short pause, he flew up again.
He had reached the shore after two consecutive rises and landings.
Che Hao landed steadily on another ordinary ship plank, activated his true power with one step, and drove the ship plank in the direction of the man in black like a sharp arrow from the string.
The samurai under his command picked up the samurai who had fallen into the water.
The samurai who had just been stepped on by the man in black had his brain split and died.
We quickly fought Xiaochuangan in black and Che Hao fiercely.
Although her martial arts was very strong, she would not be able to escape Che Hao's pursuit for a while.
Because of the veil, I couldn't see her true face clearly, but she was extremely petite, like a child.
Her weapon is the pair of metal gloves, which can not only be worn on her hands as short ice to fight against enemies, but can also be used as soft whips by pulling on thin ropes.
I asked the warriors to guard the four corners and not to attack without authorization, lest innocent people die.
Che Hao had obviously gained the upper hand, and his long sword gradually suppressed the offensive attack of the man in black.
I am very happy.
It seems that I will be able to capture this man in black today and get to the bottom of what happened in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Suddenly a chuckle came from above my head.
This laughter is very familiar to me.
"Youyou" I shouted from the bottom of my heart Several silver projectiles shot down from the air, and there was a loud bang.
We were suddenly plunged into a fog.
I hurriedly protected my vitals, but I heard a sharp smile: "Sister, thank you."
The voice came from close by.
Far away, it disappeared in the blink of an eye A delicate and ethereal voice penetrated into my ears: "Friend, an hour later, I will wait for you in the woods on the east side of Maple Grove Pavilion.
When the fog dissipates, where can I find the trace of the man in black?"
Che Hao came to me and asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong with you, Master?"
I shook my head slowly, and the sudden appearance of Youyou disturbed my mind again.
There was no doubt that the woman in black must be her accomplice, otherwise she would not have come to the rescue.
Judging from the body shape of the woman, she looked somewhat similar.
Among her senior sisters, the only one who can make the demon sect take action is Yan Xingqi.
It seems that Yan Xingqi is the mastermind behind the appearance of the Ancestral Temple.
Judging from the reactions of the people around her, they obviously didn't hear what Youyou said before leaving just now.
She must have borrowed the skills of transmitting sounds into secrets.
I called Che Hao aside and whispered to him the agreement you had just made with me.
Since the last time I had a date with Youyou alone, and Leng Guxuan followed me, I have naturally become more cautious.
I don’t dare to try to make the same mistake again.
"It's too dangerous.
Young master can't take risks alone," Che Hao said in a low voice.
I smiled and said: "I have never thought about going to the meeting alone.
The right thing is to not have the intention to harm others and to be on guard against others.
I will definitely be fully prepared this time."
An hour later, I came to the woods as promised.

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see her coming.
Could it be that this witch noticed that Che Hao and others were secretly protecting me, so she didn't dare to come?
I didn't want to wait endlessly. , led his men to leave the woods and return to Fenglin Pavilion to rest.
When I walked into my room, I suddenly had an unusual feeling.
Holding the long knife in his right hand, when he was about to call someone, he heard a gentle smile and whispered: "What are you afraid of?
Could it be that I will eat you again?"
The candlelight was lit with a "wave", and I saw Youyou dressed in white, sitting quietly on the bed, hugging her knees, her curvy calves and snow-white ankles were exposed from the long skirt, making her more and more alluring.
I whispered: "You" Suddenly, Che Hao's voice came from outside the door: "Master, is there something wrong?"
Youyou stretched out her index finger and blew it in front of her lips, and her beautiful eyes blinked at me.
I calmed down and said, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just about to sleep."
Che Hao arrived: "I'll be guarding the door tonight.
If you need anything, sir, just call me."
I agreed.
Youyou glanced at me charmingly, waved to me, and motioned for me to come and sit down next to her.
I said coldly: "You witch, are you trying to harm me again?"
She said softly: "Enemies, how can I let go?"
Her delicate body took the initiative to nestle against mine.
Having learned the lesson from last time, I became much more cautious and paid close attention to her every move.
Youyou whispered: "Go to bed and talk."
It was as if she was the owner here, and I became a visiting guest.
Seeing that I was still unmoved, Youyou sighed and said, "You still don't believe me after all."
She suddenly pulled out the long knife from my waist.
I was shocked when I saw her place the blade of the knife across her white jade neck, took my big hand and put the handle of the knife into my hand: "Are you relieved?"
I frowned.
She has always been very scheming.
I don’t know what she is going to do today: "You are the one who came in."
Youyou smiled sweetly and said: "I knew you would not be honest.
You actually brought a group of powerful men to the woods to attend the appointment.
You clearly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture me.
I then came to Maple Grove Pavilion first and slipped into your room.
Waiting for you."
She is indeed cunning. " I whispered: "Is it your senior sister Congling who is lurking in the Ancestral Temple today?"
Youyou nodded and said softly: "Your eyesight is really good.
My senior sister is still recognized by you even though she is covered with a veil."
I sneered: "No matter how cunning a fox is, he will eventually show his tail."
Youyou said softly: "I know that last time I left without saying goodbye, I must have caused you a lot of misunderstandings."
I said coldly: "You seem to have overestimated your weight in my heart."
Youyou said softly: "I know exactly where I am in your heart.
Otherwise, if you threaten me, you will save me at all costs."
I said angrily: "If I hadn't been blinded by you for a moment, I wouldn't have caused Senior Qiu to fall into trouble, and his life or death would still be uncertain until the end."
Youyou sighed and said, "Yinkong, what's wrong with you?
It was me who harmed Uncle Qiu."
I saw that she was still denying it, and I couldn't help but feel angry.
The blade moved slightly and actually cut her snow-white skin.
A wisp of blood slowly slid down the blade.

I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, suddenly put down the blade, and whispered: "Go away, I don't want to see you again."
Youyou hugged my shoulders.
He said softly: "You are reluctant to kill me, are you?"
Youyou gently took a bite on my arm and said Youran: "You heartless person, I am so infatuated with you, yet you treat me like this."
I suddenly thought of Li Ji's resentful eyes, and there was a dull pain in my heart.
Youyou seemed to see something from my expression, and said softly: "I know that you always hate me because of the treasure map, and I don't blame you."
I sneered: "You blame me, let me ask you, why are you and Cong Ling going to the Ancestral Temple to pretend to be gods and ghosts?
Is it Yan Xingqi's main envoy?
And is it you who were responsible for the assassination of King Yan on the way?"
Youyou said softly: "I came to see you today just for this matter.
My senior sister pretended to be a ghost in the Ancestral Temple.
She was indeed under the command of the master.
Yan Xingqi was related to this matter.
As for the assassination The matter of King Yan’s status has nothing to do with me.”
I looked at Youyou questioningly: "Who could it be if it has nothing to do with you?"
Youyou said sadly: "Did I do all the bad things in your heart?"
I said coldly: "I don't want to believe it, but the facts are right in front of me.
First, you colluded with your master to kidnap me, and took the opportunity to attract Senior Qiu, and used her sympathy to make her sacrifice her skills to save you. , framed Qingyan.
Now you have become Yan Xingqi's pawn.
How can I trust you if you don't oppose me in every matter?"
Her clear and pure eyes were actually covered with tears.
This was the first time I saw her cry in front of me.
Thinking of all the abominable actions she had done before, my heart couldn't help but harden again: "Do you still know how to cry?
After doing so many bad things, have you ever thought about your conscience?"
Character" Youyou stood up slowly, looked at me coldly and said, "Long Yinkong, everyone in the world can accuse me, but you can't."
Tears slowly slid down her pretty face.
I never expected her reaction to be so strong.
Youyou raised her pretty face, held back her tears and said, "King Yan is already dead, you'd better make preparations in advance."
"Youyou" Seeing her heartbroken look, I couldn't help but regret my attitude towards her just now.
Youyou said coldly: "Long Yinkong, from now on, you are you and I am me.
Whether you live or die, succeed or fail, you have nothing to do with me anymore.
I advise you, what you see in your eyes Things may not be true, and the person you trust the most may be the one who deceives you the most.”
In her excitement, she forgot to conceal her voice.
Che Hao heard the commotion and rushed in from outside the door.
He drew his sword and shouted: "Don't let the witch harm the young master!"
Youyou smiled sadly: "If I really want to hurt him, I have to wait until this time:" He waved his long sleeves and threw his delicate body out of the window like a swallow.
When Che Hao wanted to chase me, I said sternly: "Let her go."
Che Hao stopped abruptly and looked at me with confusion on his face.
I let out a long sigh and said feebly: "Go to sleep."
Youyou's grief-stricken expression when she left has lingered in my heart for a long time.
Did she lie to me and what happened just now was another drama she performed?
I thought about this question repeatedly that night, tossing and turning.
On the early morning of the next day, I went to the Qin Palace early in the morning, preparing to report to Empress Jing what happened at the Imperial Ancestral Temple last night.
When I came outside the palace gate, I met Yan Xingqi, who was making a pilgrimage to the palace.
Yan Xingqi smiled and said, "Brother, what a coincidence."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I smiled and said, "I am about to enter the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother."
Yan Xingqi smiled and said, "Me too."
We looked at each other and laughed.
Thinking of Director Yan Xingqi's conspiracy to create this scene, I couldn't help but secretly curse him as a bastard.
After we dismounted, we walked side by side towards Fengyang Palace.
Yan Xingqi said: "Brother, what do you want to do with the Queen Mother?"
I smiled and said, "Firstly, in order to check on the emperor's condition, I would like to give him a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng to replenish his health.
Secondly, I would like to report to her the progress of our consultations in the past two days."
Yan Xingqi sighed and said: "I originally thought that the alliance between the two countries could be easily negotiated, but I didn't expect that there would be so many complicated matters when the actual negotiations began.
It seems that it will take some time for us to reach a consensus."
I cursed secretly in my heart, if it weren't for you, an old fox, to interfere with this, the alliance would have been accomplished long ago.
But on the surface, I smiled and said, "Haste makes waste.
For the long-term interests of both countries, we brothers must be cautious in our undertakings."
Yan Xingqi nodded and said, "That's what my brother said."
I asked: "Why did my brother enter the palace today?"
Yan Xingqi said: "The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace, and I don't know why."
During the conversation, they had arrived at Fengyang Palace, where Mr.
Xu was directing the maids and eunuchs to prune the flower branches.
Seeing the two of us coming, he hurriedly came forward and said: "Prince Su Qiantui, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, the Queen Mother is giving medicine to the Emperor, please wait for a moment."
Yan Xingqi smiled and said: "Eunuch Xu, how is the emperor's condition?"
Eunuch Xu said with a smile: "It's much better.
The imperial doctor examined and treated the emperor this morning.
The emperor's dragon veins have become much more stable.
His consciousness has gradually become clearer in the past two days.
He can recognize the Queen Mother.
If this continues, recovery should not be long."
Something happened.”
Yan Xingqi's eyes flashed for a moment, and he immediately pretended to be extremely surprised: "Long live my emperor, I have already said that your majesty is destined to recover naturally."
I smiled secretly in my heart.
Yan Xingqi was sadder than anyone else when he heard the news that Yan Yuanzong's condition had improved.
It seemed that Empress Jing summoned him to the palace just to reveal the news to him.
Yan Yuanzong's condition may not be as optimistic as Xu Gonggong's, and Queen Jing's move may just be intended to disrupt Yan Xingqi's position.
Yan Xingqi and I were admiring flowers in the garden.
Because it was already late autumn, the garden was full of chrysanthemums.
The palace maids and eunuchs were responsible for removing other fallen flowers.
Yan Xingqi looked at the petals on the ground and recited a sentence intentionally or unintentionally: "When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom":
