Chapter 234 "Unforgettable" love!
Zhuoqing held the thin piece of letter paper in his hand and did not dare to respond to Xiao Chongjing's question for a long time.
Until Xiao Chongjing asked again: "Zhuoqing! I just asked you, why didn't you answer?"
Zhuo Qing was startled and quickly crumpled the letter paper in his hand.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These are just some insignificant reports from the border..."
Xiao Chongjing put down the bronze mirror, his face darkened and he said:
"You've been with me for over forty years, how could you possibly hide this from me? Show me the report!"
Zhuoqing had no choice but to unfold the letter paper that was clenched into a ball in his palm and hand it to Xiao Chongjing respectfully.
In fact, Xiao Chongjing had already prepared himself mentally. He had been with Zhuoqing day and night for so many years, and he knew at a glance that this report must be bad news, otherwise why would Zhuoqing react like this.
Xiao Chongjing glanced at the line of words on the letter paper, and then just smiled faintly:
"I already anticipated that Baili Luochen would rebel. That's fine! Since that's the case, I don't need to worry about what the officials and the people think of me anymore!"
"Zhuoqing, issue an order immediately and order the Imperial Household Department to draft two edicts—"
"Send a letter to Lu Tingen in Yunzhou, ordering him to march north and recapture the southwest road of Bingzhou first!"
"The other letter... is to Su Xin of Lingnan. Tell him to march his troops to Lingnan and besiege the Wen family. Remember! Besiege them, but don't attack. Put pressure on them. I don't believe Wen Yanzhao will abandon his grandfather and uncles!"
"Order Su Xin again and have him deploy heavy troops on the road where Wen Yanzhao is rushing back to Lingnan, and surround and kill him!"
Zhuo Qing memorized Xiao Chongjing's arrangements one by one in his mind, then bowed and said:
"I've made note of this, I'll do it right away!"
Xiao Zhongjing nodded: "Go quickly and come back soon, I'm still waiting for you to go to Jin'er's wedding together!"
……
Half a mile away from Prince Jingyu’s palace.
The four of them broke into the city from the White Tiger Gate. In order not to alert more people in Tianqi City, Wen Yanzhao knocked down the soldiers guarding the city one by one from a hundred feet away.
Just as they were about to reach the gate of the palace, a group of Shadow Sect secret guards suddenly appeared in front of the four of them and blocked their way!
Luo Qingyang's eyes turned cold: "You go first, leave these people to me!"
In fact, Luo Qingyang just didn't want his fellow disciples to die at the hands of Wen Yanzhao or Ye Dingzhi. After all, these two people were ruthless killers.
If you fight against them on your own, you can subdue them and knock them out so that you don't lose your life.
Ye Dingzhi clasped his fists and said, "Then it's Senior Brother Lao Luo!"
After saying that, he winked at Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun, signaling them to follow.
Wen Yanzhao spread his hands and said, "Cousin Ye, why are you so cautious? Anyway, there is no one in Tianqi City who can defeat your cousin and me. It's just a broken palace, so feel free to break in!"
Baili Dongjun nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply.
Ye Dingzhi had no choice but to follow the two of them, walking slowly towards the main gate of the palace...
The vermilion lacquered gate was right in front of them, no more than thirty feet away from the three of them.
Wen Yanzhao was a little puzzled: "It's the day of Prince Jingyu's wedding, and you just killed Prince Qing Xiao Xie. How come there isn't even a guard at the palace gate?"
Baili Dongjun held Bu Ranchen in one hand and said, "My cousin is right. I was wondering... Could it be that such a huge palace is only guarded by those few worthless guards from the Shadow Sect?"
Before Ye Dingzhi could speak, he heard a low shout from the rooftops on both sides of the palace:
"How dare you, you little brat, insult my Shadow Sect!"
Wen Yanzhao looked up and saw an old man in black clothes in his fifties standing on the roof. The black sword in his hand was exactly the same as Luo Qingyang's. It seemed that this man must be Yi Bu, the leader of the Shadow Sect.
As Yi Bu appeared, six black-armored guards with different weapons appeared beside him.
The six men stood behind Ib, two of them held swords, two held knives, one held a meteor hammer, and a burly man held a chain sickle.
Ye Dingzhi glanced around and whispered, "Be careful, these six people should be the Eagle Eyes, the strongest shadow guard of the Shadow Sect that Luo Qingyang mentioned."
"My two cousins, have you heard this saying?" Wen Yanzhao asked with a smile, twisting the hair on his forehead.
Baili Dongjun pulled out Bu Ranchen and looked warily at the six people on the rooftop and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ye Dingzhi shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it!"
Wen Yanzhao finished twisting his hair, and a green light flashed on his fingers: "There's a saying: The weirder the weapon, the faster you die!"
"Look at these six useless guys on the roof. They're using swords and knives, and one of them has a chain and a sickle..."
"If you didn't know, you would think they were wheat harvesters from Jizhou!"
The man holding the sickle heard Wen Yanzhao laughing at him, and his dark face turned red:
"Who are you scolding, you thief who deserves death?!"
Wen Yanzhao's brows turned cold, and he suddenly pointed his finger at the man: "I've heard of people picking up money, but I've never seen people picking up insults!"
That green light was so fast that, except for Yi Bu, the other six people couldn't even see it clearly...
The guard holding the chain sickle suddenly felt a chill between his eyebrows, and then the chill quickly spread and turned into a bone-eating pain!
"Ah! Ah... Master, save me! It's so hot... It's burning me to death!"
Yi Bu looked up and saw that smoke was coming out of the man's body from the inside out, starting from his eyebrows!
The guard continued to howl miserably, and then green flames began to emerge from his body. Seeing this, Yi Bu raised his hand and struck him with a palm...
"call!"
Yi Bu originally wanted to disperse the flames with that palm strike, but unexpectedly, the flames became more powerful instead of less powerful after the palm strike!
Yi Bu's face was solemn: "What kind of witchcraft did you cast on my disciple!?"
Wen Yanzhao had a gentle expression, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he slowly said:
"Unforgettable! This is a good thing... We have a special species of green-blooded blister beetle in Lingnan. During mating season, the males emit a emerald green glow to attract females. This thing is actually non-toxic."
"Once it finds a female blister beetle to mate with, the two little bugs will gather together and the glow will instantly become brighter, while also turning into an extremely flammable and highly toxic liquid!"
"Once this poison enters the body, it will spontaneously combust! It won't extinguish until every bone and muscle is reduced to ash. Master Yi, don't you think this is very similar to an undying love?"
When Wen Yanzhao said this, he was completely immersed in the pleasure of refining and using poison. He closed his eyes and sighed:
"Alas... Grand Master Yi, do you know how many pairs of blood-thirsty beetles I used to poison that finger just now? A full ten pairs!"
"Love is unforgettable! It's quite romantic~"
Wen Yanzhao stood there somewhat crazily, smiling as he explained the properties of the poison one by one, which made everyone present feel a chill from their tail vertebrae.
Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi exchanged a glance and whispered, "When did cousin become so perverted?"
