Minghua Qiushi

When it was Haishi, Ming Xi and Yun Ting put on night clothes and sneaked into the palace quietly.Sure enough, the palace was heavily guarded, and the two of them flew over the eaves and walls to avoid the patrolling guards along the way. It took about a stick of incense before they sneaked into the Emperor's palace. The servant who sent a letter to Mingxi said that the Emperor was under house arrest here.There were many guards in the yard, and the two of them hid behind the house and peeked in through the window. The Emperor of Heaven was lying on the bed, seemingly in a coma.Ming Xi originally thought that the Emperor of Heaven should have been secretly transferred, but he never thought that he was still here. This might be a trap to lure them here. Ming Xi had thought of this place earlier, and checked the surrounding defenses before sneaking into the palace. Although there were many guards, But it can still be dealt with. If Nangong Chende is also here, it may be a little tricky, but it is worth fighting.

After making the decision, the two of them lightly jumped into the palace from the window. Yun Ting was waiting to pick up the unconscious Heavenly Emperor, who knew that the Heavenly Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot eyeballs protruded, empty and frightened, and he burst into tears , trembling all over, shouting like crazy: "I don't want to kill you, don't die! Don't die, please, don't leave me..." Ming Xi was about to grab him, he was crazy again Laughing loudly, bumping around in the room while laughing, shouting: "Hahaha, it's good to die, I just let you all die! Go die for me!"

Too bad, the Emperor of Heaven might have fallen into some kind of sorcery and went crazy, so he should withdraw first!But before they had time to run, the guard outside heard the movement and had already barged in, the two had no choice but to fight, retreating while fighting.Back in the courtyard, a group of guards surrounded them. Ming Xi and Yun Ting stood back to back, beat the guards to pieces, and were about to fly up to the roof to escape, when Nangong Chende attacked, and indeed he came too .This Nangong Chende's eyes were full of outrageous hatred, thinking that Ming Xi was regarded as an unshakable enemy before killing him quickly, every move was full of murderous aura.Mingxi fought with him, and Yunting dealt with the besieging soldiers.In the middle of the fight, Ming Xi suddenly caught a glimpse of a man standing on the roof of the palace. This man was dressed in a dark purple robe, with loose long hair flying, and his facial features were as cold as a knife.

It is Shuo Yi, the number one demon general under Demon Venerable Cangming!Why is he here?How could the demons easily invade the heavens?Unless...Ming Xi understood that the prince had colluded with the demons, it seemed that the rebellion was not that simple.Before he had time to think about it, Shuo Yi set up a bow and arrow and shot towards him. Ming Xi hurriedly dodged to dodge. This action was almost instinctive, but the moment he dodged, Ming Xi realized something was wrong. The arrow was not aimed at him. No, it was shot towards a point on the ground, and the arrow was still stained with blood.

"Run! It's the Seven Fiends Formation!" Mingxi stepped back and dodged to pull Yunting, but it was still a moment late, and Yun Ting was trapped by the Seven Fiends Formation.He only heard a scream from him, and the evil spirit in the formation had bound him firmly, "General... hurry up!" Yun Ting shouted with all his might.

Ming Xi gave him a tangled look, but turned around and jumped onto the eaves to escape first.The seven evil spirit formation is a formation specially designed by the demons for the heavenly people. Once bound, it is impossible to escape, but the formation needs to be arranged first, and then the blood of the demons is dripped in the center of the formation before it can be activated.The seven-star formation was originally a formation used by the Celestial Clan for sacrifices, but it was transformed by an expert of the Demon Clan to create the Seven Evil Formation.However, the seven-star formation needs to be placed in the direction of the Big Dipper with seven instruments. It is not suitable to use a formation with a pile of instruments on the ground for plotting, because no one will jump into it without seeing it. .But this time there was no magic weapon in the formation. The moment the arrow flew over, Ming Xi found that the blood-stained arrow was not aimed at him, and seven floor tiles in the courtyard seemed to be loose.It took so much pains to catch him, and the magic weapon was actually embedded in the floor tiles.

He failed to rescue the Emperor of Heaven, and Yun Ting was arrested. It was because he was too conceited, knowing that it might be a trap, but still jumped into it, thinking that he could solve everything?How stupid!Ming Xi was extremely annoyed, he punched the ground, and the rocks on the ground were shattered by him.It's useless to be upset now, let's go back to Yuecheng first and then make a long-term plan.

The next day, when Xuan Ce and Guo Hao came back, Ming Xi hurriedly asked, "How many troops are willing to participate in countering the rebellion?"

Guo Haodao: "There are about [-] people who are sincerely willing. Including the ones I bought with money, the total is less than [-]."

The situation is worse than imagined, the war is not fought alone, the disparity in strength may not be great.Another person might be able to look for it. Thinking of this, Ming Xi said to Guo Hao: "Lend me some money."

"Come on, it will be strange if you can pay back the loan! Tell me, how much do you want?"

"Two million taels..."

The corners of Guo Hao's eyes twitched: "Why don't you borrow my life too, General Ming!"

"Let's just say whether to borrow it or not!" Ming Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Borrowing borrowing borrowing borrowing! You are cruel! What are you doing borrowing?"

Basalt Rock, this place is known as a place of bitter cold in the heavens, because there are rocks everywhere and no grass grows, and the place near the north looks like a plain paved with flat rocks from a distance. At the bottom, white steam is rising from the bottom of the ditch.Crossing this rock to the south is a large stone forest with scattered heights and jagged rocks. The person Mingxi is looking for is here.

This person's name is Long Qianye, and he is the overlord of the Basalt Rock area. In fact, he can also be understood as a bandit.There are more than [-] people under this man, who are brave and good at fighting, and can hold up to [-] troops.Although Long Qianye was a gangster, he was a man of righteousness and often robbed the rich and helped the poor.The imperial court once sent someone to recruit this person, but he was rebellious by nature. In his words, he hated seeing a dog official.The Emperor of Heaven has always been afraid of the power of his subordinates, but due to the fact that the basalt rock is really difficult to break through, there is nothing he can do about it.

When he arrived at Stone Forest, Ming Xi signed up for himself, and the guards escorted him to Long Qianye.Ming Xi had dealt with Long Qianye before because of Zhao An, and he quite recognized him.He has a characteristic, that is, he loves money, but all the money is used to help those in need.After Daoming the purpose of coming, Long Qianye was really not interested in the court disputes at all.

"There's money to be made!" Ming Xi said.

"What? Who do you think I am, Long Qianye? I will help you dog officials for money?... How much is it?"

"300 million taels."

"make a deal."

Now there are 3 troops, Long Qianye's army can be used as a vanguard, let's say [-] troops, but it is still [-] behind the Prince's troops.Mingxi was pacing up and down in the Yuecheng military tent. It has been a month since the prince's mutiny, and Mingxi's army has also assembled and stationed in Yuecheng.Prince Ding has received the news, and Ming Xi has set up defenses outside the city to prevent him from attacking.Sure enough, a spy reported back that day, and the prince's army had already marched towards Yuecheng.Sure enough, the prince couldn't bear his temper, so he attacked first because of the large number of troops.Ming Xi also hoped so, Yuecheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which just consumes the prince's troops.

More than half a month later, the two sides had already fought two rounds, and the crown prince became impatient after being unable to attack for a long time. Less than three days had passed since the second attack, and another attack was launched.But this time it was Ming Xi's turn to be anxious, because there was a person tied up in front of the formation, and it was Yun Ting.

"Ming Xi! Your good brother is in my hands! If you don't surrender, I'll cut off his head and feed it to the dogs!" Xiao Jincheng shouted at him.

Yun Ting's whole body was bruised and beaten beyond recognition, but he still shouted at him: "General! Leave me alone!"

Ming Xi clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and the veins on his fist bulged. He stood on the tower and observed the situation in front of him. He thought in his heart that it would be better to kidnap Xiao Jincheng, but Shuo Yi was standing beside him. He would have jumped off before The tower is gone.But now that the spirit veins are damaged, and the Flame Soul Sword is not there, the skill is only [-]% left, it may not be so easy to succeed, and Yun Ting's life may not be guaranteed if he fails.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw the chaos behind the prince's army, and a soldier stumbled to Xiao Jincheng to report: "His Royal Highness is not well! The rear of our army was attacked by surprise, and the casualties were heavy!"

"How much is the discount?" Xiao Jincheng asked.

"Five... 5000 people."

"What! Aren't those demon soldiers mixed in? Did you make a mistake!" Xiao Jincheng grabbed the soldier's collar and said angrily.

Chance!Mingxi immediately jumped down from the tower, and at the moment of jumping, he saw a white figure Yujian flashing past, and shouted: "Brother Ming, take the sword!" As soon as Shuo Yi dodged, all the soldiers around the prince were knocked into the air. At the same time, Mingxi's other hand swiftly formed a seal and shot out the real flame of fire. The moment Shuo Yi dodged, Mingxi had already put the sword on Xiao Jincheng's neck.

"Don't move! Let Li Yunting go, or your head will be gone!"

Shuo Yi said coldly: "Hmph! Do you think you can escape?"

"Why don't you try it!"

Xiao Jincheng was afraid of death, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone back down! Let... let Li Yunting go!"

Seeing that the soldiers had untied Yun Ting, Ming Xi held Xiao Jincheng and slowly approached Yun Ting, retreated to Yun Ting's side, he kicked Xiao Jincheng out suddenly, grabbed Yun Ting and turned on his sword.But at the same time, the arrow shot by Shuo Yi infused with demonic energy was already flying towards him, and was about to hit him, when suddenly a vine wrapped them around them and pulled them apart, narrowly avoiding the arrow.Ming Xi immediately flew Yun Ting up to the city tower with his sword.

Shuo Yi below stared coldly at Ling Qiu, who was holding Yu Jian in mid-air, and said, "Mr. Yuhua! You actually came to help the Celestial Clan, have you forgotten the vengeance of the past?"

Ling Qiu said: "I am here to help General Chi Yun, not the Celestial Clan!"

Shuo Yi stared at Ling Qiu tangled for a while, and finally said bitterly: "Retreat!"

Xiao Jincheng yelled: "What? Don't retreat! Kill the dog Mingxi for me! Attack me!"

Shuo Yi grabbed Xiao Jincheng by the collar and stared at him coldly, Xiao Jincheng immediately froze when he saw his eyes, "Withdraw... Withdraw!" Shuoyi turned to look back at Mingxi before walking away, and smiled coldly , this smile made Mingxi feel a little uneasy.

Ling Qiu slowly landed on the tower, her long hair flying. "Brother Ming, I'm late."

Ming Xi was very happy, and said, "How do you know I'm here? And this Flame Sword..."

Ling Qiu said with a smile: "Two months ago I found out that the general's mansion had set up a ban. Brother Ming really had an accident. He just went to move the rescuers from Baicao Mountain, and then went to the empress's womb to grab the sword. It was a bit late. Brother Ming, don’t be surprised. By the way, let me introduce you, these three are the guardians of the Yaoling clan’s royal family, Shenxianren, Rosemary, and Yin Mosong.”

Ming Xi only focused on talking to Ling Qiu, and only then did he notice the three people behind Ling Qiu, an old man with white hair, a charming woman, and a stern young man.Mingxi bowed to the three of them, but except for the old man who returned the salute, the other two ignored him, and Mingxi didn't care, after all, there was indeed a disagreement between the Celestial Clan and the Yaoling Clan.

Ling Qiu said again: "Besides them, I also brought five hundred troops to help Brother Ming."

Ming Xi asked in surprise, "500 people?"

Hearing him ask the woman named Rosemary was a little displeased, and said: "What? General Ming is too little? We, the Demon Spirit Clan, are very kind to you if we don't care about past suspicions. If your lord insisted on coming, I'll wait With the responsibility of guarding the royal family, who would come to this broken place of your Celestial Clan?"

Ming Xi hurriedly said: "No, no, everyone misunderstood, I was surprised that you defeated 5000 members of the Prince's Army with [-] troops, which is very impressive!" How could Ming Xi not know how difficult it is for Ling Qiu to come to help him, I'm afraid he also offended many subjects of the Demon Spirit Clan.

The white-haired old man said: "General Chiyun, we came here to help the Tianzu fight against the rebellion this time not entirely to help you. In the battle more than 40 years ago, more than half of the soldiers of the Tianzu and Yaoling clan were killed and injured, and they were very energetic." The people of the two clans also suffered from the war. The prince Xiao Jincheng has been coveting the Yaoling clan's territory for a long time. If Xiao Jincheng becomes the emperor of heaven this time, there may be another war. If the suppression of the rebellion is successful, I hope the general will be able to remonstrate with the emperor of heaven. Sign a peace covenant with my Yaoling clan, and the two clans will do business and benefit each other in the future, benefiting the people of the two clans. May the general agree?"

Ming Xi said happily when he heard the words: "Of course that's good."

Ling Qiu said: "What is Brother Ming's plan for the next step?"

Ming Xi pondered for a while, and said: "The prince's army has lost troops when they attacked Yuecheng three times. At this time, there are still about [-] troops, and we have [-] troops. Although there is a big difference, now with Ling Qiu's help, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and the odds of winning are still good." Yes. But now that the Emperor of Heaven is trapped in the palace, our scruples will inevitably hinder us. For the current plan, we must rescue the Emperor of Heaven before making any plans."

"Brother Ming, what are you going to do?"

The tragic scene of Yunting being bound by the seven evil formations flashed before Ming Xi's eyes, and he thought for a while and said, "We can't force our way in, we still have to find a way to quietly rescue the Emperor of Heaven. Maybe someone can lead us in."

Ling Qiu said: "If you sneak in to save people, Shen Xianren and Rosemary will definitely help you."
