MTL - Estranged-Chapter 61 The palace is fighting, the situation is critical.
Xie Chunxi and Yue Chengbo have always been at odds, which can be seen from their previous tit-for-tat confrontation.
But no matter how discord, in front of outsiders, we still have to maintain basic unity, otherwise it will only make other countries laugh.
Although monks have no nationality, as long as their cultivation level is high enough, no matter which country they are, they will be regarded as honored guests, but the masters who guard the court like Xie Chunxi and the others have their own stand.
Another example is the land of Wanlian Buddha, which is regarded as the state religion by You country. If their head came to Luo country, the queen mother of Luo country would not really think that he is neutral.
While the strong are respected, the rules of the game will also trap the strong.
Naturally, except for things like Jiufang Changming before.
Qingbeishan is a little-known sect, but Lu Zhiyuan is not.
He was born in Lingyin, Zhuhai, and later traveled to Qingbei Mountain. Because of his deep friendship with the head of Qingbei Mountain, he was invited to stay for a long time, so he became the elder of Qingbei Mountain, with a noble status.
Although Lu Zhiyuan's talent and cultivation base is not as good as Feng Suhuai's, it should not be underestimated.
At the very least, he can be one of the accompanying monks, not because of his relationship with Feng Suhuai.
Xie Chunxi didn't dare to underestimate him, so he sacrificed his long sword as soon as he made a move.
This long sword of his also followed him to the north and south to slay demons and demons. When the sword was unsheathed, it flew through the clouds and the wind immediately, making a loud noise, and many cups and plates on the table buzzed and vibrated, scaring them all. With a single jump, what's more, the white jade cup was shattered on the spot, and the wine splashed all over the host's face behind him, causing him to sit back on the spot in shock.
Xie Chunxi has already done it.
Lu Zhiyuan also had sword energy and spiritual power to protect his body, but he only felt the pressure of the sky and the wind and rain coming, like the weight of a thousand catties of boulders. Lu Zhiyuan felt a pain in his chest, and he took three steps back.
These three steps shattered the stone bricks on the ground.
His complexion was fine, but the sword fell from mid-air, and his hands were powerlessly hanging by his side.
At this point, there is no point in continuing to fight.
Lu Zhiyuan forced a smile: "I lost."
Xie Chunxi couldn't hide his color: "Fellow Daoist Lu agrees."
Losing at the beginning, the envoy of You Kingdom looked unhappy, he could only pin his hopes on Feng Suhuai.
Princess Zhaoyue still wore tulle, she didn't eat much, and hardly drank alcohol, after all, it was inconvenient to wear a veil.
Many people saw her appearance when she entered the city before, but now her eyes are red and swollen, and her color has faded a lot. Even the queen mother is not good at forcing others, and she even asked someone to prepare some light drinks for the princess alone.
The two brothers of the late emperor, King Hui and King Qi were also present. As the prime minister, Song Nanyan was naturally also present, as well as some important officials.
King Hui and King Qi chatted and laughed in a low voice, their expressions were very relaxed, apparently they didn't regard today's banquet as such an important matter.
Only Song Nanyan didn't show it on the surface, and laughed at Yanyan, but in reality he was restless and anxious inside.
Although the emperor above ate and drank, and could not find fault with his speech, Song Nanyan knew that it was a paper puppet!
Last night, he watched with his own eyes that Chang Ming took out a white human-shaped piece of paper from his sleeve, put it on the emperor, and blew on it. The piece of paper fell on the ground and dangled, like a baker. Turned into the appearance of the emperor, even the hair is exactly the same, everyone is stunned.
This puppet piece of paper not only changed its appearance, it even imitated the emperor's voice and demeanor by 10%. Except for talking less, it would not reveal its secrets under normal circumstances. If Song Nanyan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to doubt this The emperor turned out to be a paper man.
Not only that, but the fake emperor can also identify the identities of the visitors and call out everyone's name accurately. It's just that they can't get close to the water or the fire, but after a banquet, why do they need to be close to the water or the fire?
Song Nanyan really didn't expect that the master he came to recognize when he had nowhere to go back then was not only a monk, but also a monk with such a high level of cultivation that even Zen Master Ku He would bow his head.
But the most important thing right now is to find an opportunity for the emperor to leave the stage early to avoid revealing his secrets.
Song Nanyan couldn't find a chance to speak for the time being.
Because Feng Suhuai had already left the table and walked towards Yue Chengbo.
"I've heard that the Lingling Sect of Zhenling is very good at subjugating ghosts. If I can see the Sect Master today, please give me some advice."
Zhenlingzong is indeed good at fighting ghosts, but Zhenlingzong is also a swordsman, and is also good at swordsmanship. Feng Suhuai's mention of serving ghosts does not mention swordsmanship, which obviously has two meanings.
One is to look down on Zhen Lingzong's swordsmanship, and the other is to deliberately provoke Yue Chengbo.
Yue Chengbo has a violent temper, otherwise he wouldn't have picked up Xie Chunxi in front of the Queen Mother before.
Hearing this, he was really angry.
"Lord Fengyin, you are too polite. The art of subjugating ghosts is difficult to achieve. Today I will use swordsmanship to ask Lord Fengyin for advice!"
Feng Suhuai said with a smile: "It's easy to say."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her sleeves, and a slender and exquisite Suqin flew from the seat and landed in front of Feng Suhuai.
When Yue Chengbo drew out his sword, Feng Suhuai's slender fingers also pressed on the strings.
Zheng!
To others, it is really a clear and long piano sound. If a song can be completed, it must be the sound of nature.
But in Yue Chengbo's ears, that sound was like a sharp blade, piercing straight through his heart, preemptively fixing him on the spot, followed by three, four or five strings fluttering, interlocking, directly making Yue Chengbo All the moves he wanted to make were blocked and airtight, Yue Chengbo was suppressed and targeted everywhere, not only lost the opportunity, but also had to scramble to counterattack and defend.
Too passive, if this continues, you must lose!
Yue Chengbo couldn't be more reconciled, he bit the tip of his tongue, spewed a mouthful of blood on the long sword in front of him, and stimulated his spiritual power, the sword light suddenly flourished, and the pressure of spiritual power in an instant was like the rising tide of the sea, pouring mountains and seas towards Feng Suhuai!
Feng Suhuai didn't expect that the other party would have a backhand, and was concentrating on urging the sound of the piano to turn into spiritual power and form a formation. Suddenly, he was counterattacked by Yue Chengbo, as if he was hit hard in front of him, and a mouthful of blood spit on the strings .
But her piano sound became even more urgent!
There was a lot of chatter, the wind and rain were like beads, and a five-stringed harp played the momentum of thousands of troops.
An army of millions appeared from below the horizon, vigorously, riding horses and raising whips, all spears were fired, the gold bottle burst, and the momentum shook the world.
Song Nanyan had learned some basic health-preserving Taoism with Chang Ming in the early years, his face was not old, and his foundation was thin, but when he heard the eardrums thumping, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood, let alone the queen mother at such an age , she yelled directly and almost fainted, Xie Chunxi hurriedly built an enchantment barrier in front of everyone to isolate the sound.
Even so, everyone was still pale and unattractive.
And Lu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes.
He secretly observed the emperor without a trace.
With Feng Suhuai's cultivation base, it's enough if she doesn't make a move, just now she almost used the piano sound with eighty-nine success, not to mention ordinary people, even he couldn't stand it.
But the emperor didn't change his face. When everyone couldn't help covering their ears, the emperor didn't move.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't think that the young emperor of Luo Kingdom was a hidden master.
He was thinking, could the rumors be true?
If so, today is a great opportunity.
Under Feng Suhuai's all-out offensive, Yue Chengbo gradually lost his strength.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is still a distance between the two, and they have not gotten close because of this.
In fact, Feng Suhuai pressed on every step, while Yue Chengbo retreated every step.
There is no way to retreat, and there may not be a chance of winning if you fight with your back.
He knew that his cultivation was not as good as Feng Suhuai's, and the other party also deliberately made Luo Guo look bad today, but he was unwilling to let it fall on him.
Especially for such a competitive person as Yue Chengbo.
But at this moment, a cluster of flames lit up in the corner of Yue Chengbo's eyes.
The barrier Xie Chunxi built suddenly shattered!
The next moment, the maid's exclamation reached his ears!
Feng Suhuai gave up.
Yue Chengbo also followed the prestige, but his face changed drastically.
I don’t know when the emperor’s body was on fire. The fire burned blazingly when it touched his clothes, and he couldn’t get rid of it. When I woke up, I couldn't understand what I saw.
Anyone who saw the emperor suddenly turned into a scorched paper man would not react much better.
Many courtiers were stunned on the spot, forgetting to close their mouths.
The accident that the Queen Mother least wanted to happen still happened.
Chang Ming repeatedly explained that the paper puppet should not be near water or fire, but it still caught fire.
"Bold, what kind of magic did you do! Why did His Majesty become like this! Come and take him down!"
Song Nanyan got up abruptly, and was the first to attack.
He could see very clearly that it was Lu Zhiyuan who pointed out a cluster of sparks just now, and it hit the emperor right in the middle.
No one would have thought that Lu Zhiyuan would dare to assassinate. Xie Chunxi had the ability to find out in advance, but when he saw the empress dowager was in pain, he stood beside her to protect her and formed a formation. He ignored the strangeness of the emperor for a while and was discovered by Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't even think about it, he chose to expose it on the spot!
The emperor is actually a paper man, so what about the real emperor of Luo Kingdom? !
Everyone who didn't know the inside story was startled and suspicious, and when they heard Song Nanyan's words, they all looked at Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan sneered: "Could it be that something unexpected happened to your Majesty, so you can't see it, and you want you to use a puppet to cover it up? This is how your country treats envoys?"
Without saying a word, Xie Chunxi shot at Lu Zhiyuan, trying to take him down.
But Hui Wang reacted very quickly, he directly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground viciously!
"Is the emperor's sister-in-law trying to coerce the emperor to order the princes?! I have long known that something is wrong. I never thought that the emperor's wife would be so cruel. In order to monopolize the power, she even got her own son!"
He tossed the cup as a sign, and his subordinates raised their hands to make a gesture, and dozens of people rushed over immediately, their movements were neat, and they were clearly prepared.
The queen mother knew that he had brought someone into the palace earlier, but this was a bodyguard bestowed by the late emperor. The late emperor loved his younger brother and treated King Hui far more than other brothers, so the queen mother could not say anything.
King Hui and the Empress Dowager were at odds because the Empress Dowager felt that he was becoming more and more self-respecting and wanted to deprive him of many powers. It was just that the Lord was suspicious of the country and there was no better opportunity for the time being. However, she did not expect the envoys of the two countries to enter In the palace, Hui Wang had planned for a long time, but she was worried about the emperor's condition recently, and she didn't realize it for a while.
Xie Chunxi took a closer look, and his face was even uglier than that of the Queen Mother.
He told the queen mother in a low voice that the people brought by King Hui were all cultivated, even if they were not high, they were just low-level monks, and they were not comparable to ordinary guards.
King Hui actually replaced all his guards with monks overnight, but how did he transfer so many monks?
Xie Chunxi began to feel weak.
It may be difficult to control the situation today just by myself and Yue Chengbo.
If King Hui took the opportunity to hold the Queen Mother hostage, it would be even more difficult.
Seeming to have the same tacit understanding with him, Feng Suhuai suddenly turned around and rushed towards the queen mother!
She was extremely fast, even if Xie Chunxi and Yue Chengbo saw it and started to stop her, they were already half a beat behind.
It was too late, but soon, a strong wind came through the air and shot towards Feng Suhuai's temple!
