Chapter 412 You are doing it again
Seeing the torrential river emerging behind Li Chungang, the huge waves were churning, as if the waves were crashing on the shore.
Jiang Ni pushed Xu Fengnian's arm away and exclaimed, "No!"
Like a roaring mountain torrent, a big river bursts its embankment.
The endless sword intent turned into a huge wave more than one foot high, smashing away the aura that Cao Changqing propped up, and submerging towards him.
Before the sword intent approached, Cao Changqing felt misty water vapor coming over his face, as if he was really in the middle of a river, facing the bursting flood rushing and roaring towards him.
‘Is this the true strength of the Sword God? '
When he became famous all over the world, Li Chungang had long been hidden in the world, and only legends remained. Whether it was a green snake with two sleeves or a sword that opened the gate of heaven, he had heard about it. He did not expect that after the battle of Wudi City, this aging sword **** Falling into the sky, but his perception of the way of the sword has embarked on a path that has never been taken before.
Cao Changqing's complexion became more and more solemn, he mobilized all the true energy in his body, and opened his arms with difficulty, and criss-crossing rays of light emerged in the void.
There are nineteen paths in each direction, forming three hundred and sixty-one nodes, and he pointed to his raised fingertips and flipped out black and white chess pieces and landed on the board at some point.
Dahe was already in front of him, and the speed of falling was getting slower and slower.
Being impacted by Dahe's sword intent, Cao Changqing spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood splashed on the surface of the last white piece. Just as he held on and pointed the chess piece, he slowly probed into the Tianyuan position in the middle of the chessboard.
A terrifying pressure rose above the two of them.
Dahe stopped in front of him and turned around and surged upwards. The chess game that condensed all his true energy also lost control.
Cao Changqing took advantage of the situation to get rid of the stalemate, and retreated five steps before standing still. The blood in his body was churning, and his true energy was disordered. The same was true for Li Chungang, who was not far away. The two looked up at the same time, and saw that at some point, one was holding a flower pot. The young master floated above the void, and when he reached out to grab it, he absorbed all the moves of the two of them with all their strength like a long whale sucking water, and scattered them into stars.
The clouds are light and the wind is clear, and there is no reluctance.
"Zhou Ji. Mr. Zhou."
Cao Changqing wiped away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and looked at the handsome young man between the two of them with apprehension. Even though he already knew that this person's strength was by no means the "full sky" as rumored by the outside world, when he saw him, that This is obviously gentle and kind, but with an ethereal alienation from the world, he still has a glimpse of an artistic conception that even the gods on land have never existed.
"What's the situation with you two? Others are staring and sympathetic to each other~ I can't help it~~, why are you staring and staring anxiously?" Zhou Ji waved away the rippling dust with a flick of his sleeve, and said with a smile: "You can't even see the big river. The sword intent has been used, how much enmity does Li Jianshen have with this Cao Qingyi?"
With the power of Dahe's Sword Intent, even if Cao Changqing claims to be an invincible official, he will surely die by the sword. Now that Zhou Ji stopped him, Li Chungang was relieved and felt that he had lost face. He turned his head and looked away angrily. The nostrils, the fingers were stretched between the noses before they were discovered and turned into sword fingers, so he quickly shook his hands and moved a few steps to the side.
"Uncle Qizhao, are you okay?"
Jiang Ni felt the aura receding, and ran towards the platform in front of the hall without hesitation.
When Xichu was not yet subjugated, Cao Changqing often went in and out of the palace and took good care of her. Now that the royal family has been slaughtered, seeing Uncle Qizhao again makes her even more moved than when she first met Yuyouwei.
"Thank you, princess, for worrying. It's okay to be a criminal." Cao Changqing bowed to Jiang Nichang, turned his eyes to Li Chungang, who was picking his nose, and his eyes fell on Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian not far away.
Jiang Ni panicked, and quickly stood in front of Cao Changqing, pleading: "Li Jianshen has been good to me all the way, and Xu Fengnian has treated me well, can you stop fighting?"
Cao Changqing slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the little girl whose makeup was blown by the strong wind in front of him. Although her appearance did not look like the queens of previous years because of her makeup, he still saw the shadows of the king and queen from these bright and clear eyes. .
"Your Highness is still alive, God bless me so much!" Until this moment, he had a real sense of down-to-earth, "Your Highness, you have suffered all these years."
"I'm actually okay" Jiang Ni could feel Cao Changqing's sincerity and excitement, and suddenly remembered the conversation with Xu Fengnian in his mind, and a faint premonition of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
Cao Changqing nodded and said, "Your Highness, what else do you need to take away?"
"Take it away?" Jiang Ni frowned slightly, her heart sank, "Where are you taking it?"
"Of course he returned to Chu with the guilty minister." Cao Changqing explained.
Jiang Ni recalled the tragic scenes that remained in his childhood memory, and said in a low tone: "Western Chu has already destroyed the country."
"But the people of Chu are still here!" Cao Changqing said in a deep voice, "The surviving people of Great Chu have gathered in Shu, and now Shu is full of chaos. These people are your subjects. They have been desperate for a long time. They are waiting for the princess to bring them back. Home"
Xu Fengnian wanted Cao Changqing to take Jiang Ni away because he was worried that Xu Xiao would use her as a **** if he would do everything he could.
Now hearing that the land of Shu is in chaos, Cao Changqing took Jiang Ni away in order to use her status as the princess of Chu to help Da Chu restore the country. He couldn't help but look heavy, and stepped forward to stop him: "No! I won't let anyone go!"
Cao Changqing said in a deep voice, "I didn't ask you."
"She's mine!" Xu Fengnian said firmly, holding Jiang Ni behind him.
Jiang Ni is now in a state of confusion, hearing Xu Fengnian's oath of sovereignty, subconsciously retorted: "Who is yours!"
Xu Fengnian turned his head slightly, but his eyes were still fixed on Cao Changqing, and he said fiercely: "Old Zhou! Fuck him!"
crack~
A crisp slap sounded from Xu Fenghou's head.
Xu Fengnian staggered forward and then stood still, covering his head and hissing~ sucking in air-conditioning, and said with a bitter face, "Fuck him, why are you beating me?"
"Jiang Ni should decide whether to leave or stay. The Lord has not spoken yet, so why did you decide for others?" Zhou Ji gave Xu Fengnian a hard look, and said angrily.
There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on Jiang Ni's forehead, as if he had made a certain choice, he walked around Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian just wanted to stretch out Erkang's hand, he stopped halfway, and slowly released it. down.
Cao Changqing thought that Jiang Ni was planning to leave with him, and the expression on his face immediately eased.
"Uncle Qizhao, can I not go with you?"
Cao Changqing was slightly stunned with a soothing expression, looked at Jiang Ni's evasive eyes and guilt, opened his mouth, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, you can only be a maid if you stay by Xu Fengnian's side. With such an identity, he will marry you." You?"
Jiang Ni showed a bit of embarrassment, raised her voice a little, and quickly denied, "I didn't say I wanted to marry him."
Xu Fengnian was also a little embarrassed, but no matter what, he was secretly pleased when he heard that Jiang Ni was unwilling to leave.
"So, what kind of status does Cao Qingyi think Jiang Ni needs to be in order for Xu Fengnian to marry her?"
Zhou Ji shook his head, did not give Cao Changqing a chance to refute, and continued, "Chu State and Bei Liang have a hatred for the destruction of the country. You use her as the princess of Chu State to push her to the throne. Once Western Chu is restored, they will be the real ones." of dead hope."
It was a tense confrontation just now, but in a blink of an eye it turned into marriage talk? ? ?
Xu Fengnian hesitated to speak, subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ni, a trace of confusion and struggle flashed in Jiang Ni's eyes, the complicated thoughts were all born of Chu State, and entangled because of Chu State.
Cao Changqing took a deep look at Zhou Ji, and did not delve into the marriage between Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni. Instead, he played the emotional card and told Jiang Ni the misery and hardship of the survivors of the Chu Kingdom in Shu, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, You are the last hope of the people of Western Chu, can Your Highness have the heart to see the people of Chu perish?"
First, he was moved by the feelings of the survivors of the Chu State, and then by the responsibilities that the blood of the Chu royal family that flows through Jiang Ni's body should be borne, to make sense of it, and finally with the sentence "The royal family has no right to escape" completely shook Jiang Ni's mind.
Jiang Ni turned her head to look at Yu Youwei, looked at her dimmed eyes, her sad expression, and said softly, "Do you want to go home?"
"I want to dream." Yu Youwei was touched by Cao Changqing's words, thinking of her own experience, she empathized, "Chu is dead, and we are like duckweeds whose roots have been cut. Where to go, and where to go.”
"If we can reunite with the Chu people, our hometown will not be far away." Yu Youwei murmured, then raised her head again, her eyes met, the confusion in her eyes dissipated, and turned into a soft and firm force, "But none of that matters."
Jiang Ni's eyes were red, and her voice was crying, "Isn't it important?"
"You have your own life, and you don't owe us anything, because you are not only the princess, but also my friend." Yu Youwei smiled faintly, with tears in her smile and soft eyes.
Zhou Ji sighed quietly as she watched from the sidelines. With the kindness and stubbornness of this little girl, she would definitely force herself to face such sensationalism from Yu Youwei, but is this kind of self-movement really what she wants?
Zhou Ji doesn't think so.
In his opinion, even if Jiang Ni leaves with Cao Changqing, she will only become a mascot-like existence. She has the consciousness to leave with Cao Changqing, but she does not have the consciousness to become the Queen of Restoration.
Such reluctance will only be a cheap self-impression.
After you leave, you will definitely regret it.
"Uncle Qizhao, I promised to leave with you but not now." Jiang Ni paused slightly and explained: "I am not for Xu Fengnian, the Xu family protected my life after all, this kindness should be repaid to them, I want to let him go first Go to Longhu Mountain, and when you leave Longhu Mountain, follow Uncle Qi Zhao to go west."
Seeing Jiang Ni's persistent insistence, Cao Changqing had no choice but to agree.
Because his identity has been exposed, even Jiang Ni can only leave with him on the surface, and return to the convoy secretly, so as not to be misunderstood by the Liyang royal family that Xi Chu and Bei Liang are joining forces.
Things were settled, Xu Fengnian found Chen Xiliang and the little girl, and asked Ning Emei to send a team of Fengzi Battalion to **** them to Beiliang.
Jiang Ni stood beside Cao Changqing, watching Xu Fengnian and the others leave from a distance, feeling inexplicably lost.
Yu Youwei once asked her why she tried to assassinate Xu Fengnian even though she knew she couldn't kill him. At that time, she said that she wanted to get herself and Xu Fengnian used to the ending of life and death.
But now that life and death are not separated, she feels faintly in her heart that she seems to be inseparable from him.
Not far away, Lu Baijie, who was lying on his back by the pool, moved his fingertips, and the light awakened a little consciousness through his trembling eyelids. Although his brain was still dizzy like a paste, he could already hold on to the fence and struggle to get up.
Zhou Ji's finger only stunned him, but did not harm his life.
Lu Baijie cultivated himself after all to refer to Xuan, recuperated his inner breath, and quickly recovered. He looked up at the square in front of the temple, and found that there was no one around, only the horrible sword marks left deep on the ground, ravines, and ruins everywhere.
Suddenly three figures came down the long steps in front of the hall. Lu Baijie took a closer look, and then his eyes fell on the two strange women beside Cao Changqing.
Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei, who had removed their make-up, were different from when he saw them before, but their clothes, breath, and demeanor all showed that they were the two maids beside Xu Fengnian.
Lu Baijie recalled Cao Changqing's "princess", and then looked at Jiang Ni's face. He was surprised to find that she looked quite similar to the Queen of Chu whom he had seen in his memory.
His elder brother died at the hands of the Chu royal family. Now that Li Chungang and Zhou Ji are not around, seeing the remaining sword marks on the ground, he knows how tragic the fight between Cao Changqing and Li Chungang was.
Lu Baijie held Baxiu tightly, realizing that this was the best time to avenge his brother, so he did it again.
Slapped the ground and jumped up, dipped the long sword into the pool water, performed the Tangxi swordsmanship again, and swung towards Cao Changqing with dozens of splashes of pool water
On the way to leave Baoguo Temple, Xu Fengnian also seemed a little lost.
Just as Zhou Ji wanted to comfort him, he suddenly felt something. He stopped and looked in the direction of the Eight Treasures Pagoda in the temple. His consciousness swept over him, only to see Lu Baijie violently attacking Cao Changqing, but Cao Changqing predicted all the moves in advance. He even guessed the last move of retreating in despair, but in the end, because of Cao Changqing's old-fashioned character, he spared his life, and was fainted in the temple by a pointer not long after he woke up.
Zhou Ji shook his head, raised his feet and stepped down the steps, Xu Fengnian, who had already walked halfway, also stopped, turning his head to look at himself.
"I said why does it feel like something is missing, where is my sister?"
"Hong Xixiang took her away." Zhou Ji said casually: "The two of them left with a crane. I guess they are helping her to treat her illness right now?"
Cure!
Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, he suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, ran up the steps again, and said excitedly: "You mean my sister is saved?"
Zhou Ji sighed softly, nodded, and shook his head again.
"Whether I can be saved depends on what Si Teng did for me back then, and whether Hong Xixiang is willing to do it for your sister."
