Chapter 192: Gone (3rd Update)

Breaking through the roof, Meng Qi stepped on the tiles and ran towards the side yard. Behind him, several masters such as Ruyi Monk also jumped out and chased him closely.

"Catch the assassin!" The other masters shouted loudly, trying to let the guards scattered throughout the prince's mansion chase and intercept him, and make sure to chop the short-haired demon monk into meat sauce.

Meng Qi launched "Catching the Wind and Shadows", as fast as a streak of light smoke, and from time to time stepped on the steps of the gods to dodge the hidden weapons and cold arrows shot from behind.

While running, he kicked out the tiles and shot at the guards who surrounded him. At the same time, he used the thunder words and shouted loudly:

"The prince killed the king and his father. His crime is unforgivable. Now he has been sentenced to death by my sword!"

"The prince has been sentenced to death by my sword!"

The voice was like a rumbling thunder, rolling and spreading, shaking the guards dizzy and frightened. The prince was actually killed? Then why should he and others take risks and fight for their lives?

Even most of the masters couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, the prince is dead, why are we still selling our lives? Get some money as soon as possible and go to other princes!

If the prince is still alive, the martial artists they recruited will naturally be loyal. Now that the prince is dead, the throne has become a fantasy bubble, and the promised future cannot be realized. How can they still be loyal?

Especially now is the critical moment of the competition for the throne, and they can't afford to be lucky.

So, most of the masters other than the guards scattered like birds and beasts, taking away valuable things. The prince's mansion was in chaos, creating an excellent environment for Meng Qi's tortuous escape.

If the left prime minister Lu Ling was still there, he would definitely stop them and promote the prince's legitimate son and the legitimate eldest grandson of the emperor, so as to stabilize people's hearts and maintain the situation. Anyway, now the general situation is in hand, whether it is the prince or the eldest grandson of the emperor, there is no obvious difference. It's a pity that Meng Qi spit out blood at the end. It was intentional, specifically targeting him, a treacherous prime minister with low martial arts skills.

——Great scholars are all extraordinary in martial arts, but the prime minister is not necessarily a great scholar, especially those with the reputation of being a treacherous prime minister are even more impossible. Lu Ling is good at guessing people's hearts, can make good decisions, has a clear understanding of the overall situation, and can also put down his status to flatter, and is ruthless at critical moments. Naturally, he can be reused by the emperor. As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty, but because of this, facing the unreasonable Thunder Blade Monk, he was completely unable to play his own strengths, and his face was full of peach blossoms before he even had time to say a word.

The Prince's Mansion was in chaos. Meng Qi flashed around the battlefield where the Sword Emperor intercepted the National Master and ran out of the mansion. The only masters chasing him were Ruyi Monk, the National Master's lineage, and a few loyal people.

The stars were shining, the rainbow was solemn, and the two great masters were fighting with all their strengths. At the edge of the battle, the sword energy was crisscrossed and the palm wind was fierce. Meng Qi used both swords and swords, and used the core essence of the Qi-breaking Style to try to separate them, without slowing down his pace.

In this situation, the chasing masters gradually separated into different levels because they had to split their attention to resist. Ruyi Monk took the lead, followed by several disciples of the national teacher and a loyal master. The others all fell behind and wanted to intercept by detour.

The outer wall of the Prince's Mansion appeared in Meng Qi's sight. A wave of guards suddenly appeared in front of him, waving their swords and swords, and greeted them.

This place is a place with very tight defense to prevent foreign invasion.

Meng Qi took a deep breath, and without stopping, he rushed into the guards, swung his long sword, the tip of the sword trembled, and the sword light suddenly shone.

Ah ah ah ah!

Amid screams, weapons clanged to the ground, some covered their hands, some covered their eyes, Meng Qi was cut by the sword wind and the sword wind, but because of his thick skin and flesh, they could not penetrate deeply, and were only flesh wounds.

Without stopping, Meng Qi jumped onto the top of the wall, and just as he was about to fly out, Ruyi Monk had arrived, and the big handprint seemed to be condensed and slowly hit Meng Qi's temple.

Clang!

The sound of killing was heard, and the sharp wind pierced the throat of the Ruyi monk, as fast as thunder.

The Ruyi monk was about to use the body-protecting Qi to resist, but there were continuous clanging sounds, and two more strong winds shot out, hitting the same position.

He dodged sideways, and his palm power slowed down. Meng Qi returned a knife, and the lightning was overflowing, slightly paralyzed.

Meng Qi spit out another mouthful of blood, flew up with the palm power, landed at the entrance of the alley, flashed inside, and disappeared.

The Ruyi monk slowed down and did not chase him. First, the distance was widened, and the opponent's Qinggong was known for its speed. Second, it was dark at night, and it was inconvenient to trace the trace. Third, the enemy had no idea how many helpers he had in secret, and chasing rashly would only fall into a trap.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Meng, the 'Shocking Sword', was best at body protection and lion roar... He is a monk who broke the precepts..." The Ruyi monk sighed.

Running around in several alleys, Meng Qi arrived at the place where he agreed to meet Ruan Yushu.

The faint starlight sprinkled on her body, and her white dress seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliance. She was quietly bowing her head to tie the strings of the zither, like a poem or a painting.

Meng Qi spat out a mouthful of blood and felt much better. He took out the remaining pill of the soul-replenishing pill and swallowed it to dissolve the drug power. He still had to wait for a certain amount of time before completing the main task. He couldn't be careless and lose Jingzhou because of his delay in not treating his injuries.

"Let's go and meet Lao Luo." Meng Qi changed his name for Luo Shengyi.

Ruan Yushu nodded gently, holding the guqin, walking beside Meng Qi, with a cold expression, but his eyes were erratic, always looking at the top of his head when Meng Qi was not prepared.

I know my wig fell off! Meng Qi said helplessly: "If you want to see it, just look at it directly."

Ruan Yushu nodded heavily, staring at Meng Qi openly, and finally said: "I just think it shouldn't grow so fast, it looks like a wild King Kong..."

"I have returned to the secular world." Meng Qi was no longer able to refute.

"Well, it's time to eat meat." Ruan Yushu's expression was very serious.

The conversation is not focused... Meng Qi is refining the medicinal power, nourishing his body, and recovering from his injuries.

Ruan Yushu looked ahead and suddenly said, "I can hear your voice outside."

Meng Qi decided to concentrate on healing.

The two did not go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion directly, but went to a nearby alley and waited for Luo Shengyi at the agreed location.

At this time, it is most likely to be a tragedy of the cunning rabbit dying and the running dog being cooked, especially if he himself is seriously injured and weak, so Meng Qi plans to return after his injuries are stabilized and recovered by most with the help of elixirs.

After a while, Meng Qi's injuries were stable. Except for his tattered clothes, there was no abnormality. At this time, heavy footsteps were heard, and Luo Shengyi stumbled in.

He had a sword wound on his right chest. Even though he had already stopped the bleeding with acupuncture, a little blood could not be stopped from overflowing, staining the clothes on his chest dark red.

"Old Luo, are you okay?" Meng Qi asked.

Old Luo... Luo Shengyi's mouth twitched, and then he smiled: "I fought with the sword of Master Baptized Moon, and finally killed the third prince."

Speaking of this, his expression was slightly solemn: "But Cao Zhan was hacked to death by the other subordinates of the third prince, and it was too late to save him."

In the eyes of others, the two of them are in the same group. If he kills the third prince, Cao Zhan will naturally be besieged.

A newcomer died, why didn't I give a hint? That's right, the only newcomer I brought was Ruan Yushu, and the other two were from Old Luo...Meng Qi was not familiar with Cao Zhan, and he only sighed slightly at his death. Seeing that he was doing well, he thought he would have a rich return, but...

"Where is Ge Huai'en?" Meng Qi asked about another newcomer, and bandaged Luo Shengyi's wound.

Luo Shengyi put healing pills under his clothes and smiled bitterly: "Lucky, I sent him out to do something else, and he escaped. He should be able to return smoothly."

He didn't know that the old emperor was dead before, and he had to prevent him from waking up from a coma. There was no prince to ascend the throne, so he sent Ge Huai'en to find a way to "apply" for the imperial guards. If the Demon Queen couldn't sneak into the palace, he would have to use this line.

——He originally expected that if the emperor woke up, the dust would definitely settle. The princes who violated the taboo would be severely suppressed. It would be clear who would inherit the throne. Moreover, he no longer needed the right prime minister to stay overnight in the forbidden area for protection, and he would not always stay in the Taiji Hall without going out. The chances of assassination increased greatly. Anyway, they were not like others, and they didn't have to consider the way back. If the emperor died at that time, he would naturally be pulled back by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Fortunately, you didn't run into the Demon Queen." Meng Qi saw that the heavy rain in the direction of the imperial city began to dissipate, and understood that the Demon Queen and the Right Prime Minister had stopped because of the changes outside.

When Luo Shengyi's injuries stabilized, the three of them returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion leisurely.

The fourth prince has returned, pacing with his hands behind his back, full of confidence, and it is obvious that things are going well.

Looking at Meng Qi and the other two, he smiled and nodded: "I have received the news that my eldest brother and third brother have been executed. You have done a good job. Such a great achievement must be rewarded. What title, what official position, what fiefdom do you want?"

He has the consciousness of an emperor.

"We are idle clouds and wild cranes. We don't like superficial wealth and can't stand worldly affairs. If the prince rewards, please follow the previous promise and give us all the swords in the study." Meng Qi looked at the fourth prince with "clear" eyes, not confused by the glory and wealth.

Why don't you mention the reward of secret books? This guy doesn't seem to have the hobby of collecting secret books. By the time he finds someone to collect them, it will be dawn!

The fourth prince was stunned. He didn't expect them to resist glory and wealth. There are really people in the world who value righteousness over wealth!

He sighed: "You can choose by yourselves. Except for the Tengxiang Sword and Tiemu Sword given by my master, the rest are yours."

"My Lord, where is Marshal Lu?" Meng Qi asked after spending a lot of time with Lu Guan.

The fourth prince smiled: "Marshal Lu is in charge of the capital camp and is enforcing the curfew."

The three of them entered the study under the guidance of the eunuch. After the eunuch took away the sword that the Sword Emperor used to wear and closed the door, Meng Qi laughed and said: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I also relied on your help before. You can choose first."

There are nearly 30 swords hanging on the wall, and nine of them are sharp weapons, including the Red Moon Sword, the Shaohua Sword, the Chengren Quyi Sword, the Baishou Xiangzhi Sword, etc.

"What a great deed, Xiao Meng, you are really eloquent." Luo Shengyi praised and changed the address at the same time, because he found that Meng Qi was very resistant to the monk's name.

He did not refuse and took the Shaohua Sword and another sharp long sword.

Ruan Yushu nodded coldly and took down the Red Moon Sword and another sharp weapon.

They all knew how to advance and retreat and knew their limits, so they left five sharp weapons for Meng Qi, including the Martyrdom Sword and the White Prime Minister Sword.

Of the remaining eighteen hundred-refined swords, the three of them each picked six.

Afterwards, they healed their wounds and ate snacks until the end of the night, when the sky was bright and the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rang in their ears:

"Complete the main task 2, and each person will be rewarded with 400 merits."

"Side task 1, one newcomer survives, Zhending and Luo Shengyi will be rewarded with 200 merits each."

"Return."

The fourth prince who ascended the throne waited for the eunuch to report that the three knights had disappeared after dawn, and then he truly believed that they had never set their sights on glory. Later, he looked at the empty study wall and found that other things were not missing at all. He couldn't help but sighed:

"What a knight's style!"

…………

Beams of light descended, healing everyone, and Meng Qi's Golden Bell Cover quickly recovered.

He counted the number of light beams and found that everyone was fine, and his heart was immediately at ease.

At this moment, the cold and majestic voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded again:

"Leaving youth behind, reincarnation deepens, the next mission is a death mission, which will start in a year, please be prepared."
