Chapter 577 Si Gu Jian's death and the resurrection of 'Emperor Qing'

"Clear water removes lotus, nature removes decoration!"

Su Mingzhe felt endless pity for Lin Wan'er as he looked at her shy appearance, which was about to blossom.

If Li Yunrui is like a crystal clear peach, then Lin Wan'er is a crisp and delicious sweet apple.

Well, I'll eat apples again tonight and peaches tomorrow.

Su Mingzhe made up his mind and was about to pick up Lin Wan'er, but his brows furrowed and he suddenly looked out the window. A black shadow flew towards him like a sharp arrow.

"This guy is finally here!"

There was a hint of joy and relief in Su Mingzhe's eyes.

Starting from the assassination of Emperor Qing, Su Mingzhe prepared a careful plan to eliminate the other three masters.

Spreading the news that there is no grandmaster in the Nanqing Palace is the first step.

Ye Ling'er escaped from her marriage, and was then caught by the Ye family and forcibly sent to the palace to participate in the election.

This is the second step.

The Ye family spread the news at the right time that Ye Chong was preparing to become a powerful official. This was the third step.

Afterwards, when Northern Qi and Dongyi City joined forces to negotiate with the Ye family, the Ye family used extreme pulling power and tricked Master Ku He and Si Gu Jian into coming to Kyoto City.

This is step 4.

These four steps are linked to each other.

The final result was to let Si Gu Jian and Ku He come to Kyoto City to assassinate the new emperor of Nanqing.

"There are assassins!"

"Catch the assassin!"

Since Emperor Qing was assassinated in early August, the number of patrols by the palace guards has increased two to three times more than before.

Unfortunately, the strength of these guards is average, most of them are at the fifth or sixth rank, and the highest is only at the seventh or eighth rank.

And today's assassin is Si Gu Jian, one of the four great masters.

Therefore, hundreds of guards were unable to stop or delay Si Gu Jian's steps.

"There is hair, this is Si Gu Jian!"

After seeing Si Gu Jian, Su Mingzhe reached out and pressed Lin Wan'er's sleeping point, then carried her to the bed.

The scene will be a bit bloody and not suitable for Lin Wan'er to watch.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

Yan Xiaoyi finally arrived in time and shot a string of arrows at the assassin's vest.

Danger!

Even Si Gu Jian could not ignore the continuous arrows fired by a ninth-rank sharpshooter.

So, Si Gu Jian was about to rush to Su Mingzhe, but the next second, he slightly tilted his body and dodged three long arrows.

"Your Majesty, run away!"

Yan Xiaoyi's heart almost jumped into his throat as he watched Si Gu Jian rush into Changchun Palace.

The Emperor could no longer be assassinated.

Otherwise, with two emperors assassinated in just three months, is there any hope for the country?
Facing Yan Xiaoyi's reminder, Su Mingzhe was not at all panicked. Instead, there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

At this time, Si Gu Jian finally rushed into the bedroom.

He had already seen that Su Mingzhe was only ten feet away from him.

At this distance, if he could move the tip of his sword forward an inch more, he could chop off Nan Qing Xinjun's head.

This inch of distance represents life and death!

"Who?"

Just as Si Gu Jian was about to swing his sword to harvest the head of the new emperor of Nanqing, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast, and the chill instantly enveloped his whole body.

"The person who wants your life!"

As early as when Su Mingzhe was carrying Lin Wan'er to bed, he created an avatar to stand in the bedroom on his behalf, while his real body turned into a man in black, holding a sword, and chopped down at Si Gu Jian's head.

This move is a straight chop!

The simplest trick!
It is also a move without any flashy or dazzling brilliance.

Even people who have never learned swordsmanship can use this move to chop people.

When Si Gu Jian was teaching his disciples swordsmanship, he was too lazy to teach them how to use this move.

This was because this move had too many flaws. The Si Gu Jian he created had a thousand or ten thousand ways to dodge this move and directly counterattack.

However, today, facing this direct attack, Si Gu Jian only felt great terror. Apart from that, he could not even move his hands and feet.

It was as if, at this moment, his body and soul were frozen!

"This is -- a field!"

Si Gu Jian suddenly remembered some martial arts novels and stories he had read when he was a child.

In the storybook, martial arts masters who have reached the realm of domain are called "Martial Gods"!
Si Gu Jian has always regarded this martial arts realm in the storybooks as a legend.

But today he saw it!

Su Mingzhe didn't know what Si Gu Jian was thinking before he died.

With this sword, he smoothly split Si Gu Jian into two halves.

Yan Xiaoyi, who followed Si Gu Jian into the bedroom, saw the assassin's body and Su Mingzhe, who was dressed in black.

The incarnation then spoke:

"Commander Yan, don't panic. This is Mr. Ye Song, a minister of the Nanqing royal family. He is also at the Grandmaster level."

Su Mingzhe waved his hands without saying a word. He turned and walked into the darkness, mysteriously disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Eunuch Hou, please find someone to clean up this place." Facing the surprised looks of the crowd, the incarnation did not explain much. He found Eunuch Hou and asked him to clean up the scene.

As for Lin Wan'er, who had her acupuncture points pressed for sleep, she was sent to a side hall by several palace maids to rest.

The assassination that happened in the palace actually happened in the blink of an eye.

After the incarnation finished dealing with the matters, he returned to the imperial study in Weiyang Palace to rest.

On the other side, Su Mingzhe went to the Su Mansion first.

In the Su Mansion, besides 'Su Mingzhe', there is also a 'Emperor Qing' and a 'Temple High Priest'.

"Ada, go inform the Inspection Office. Er, go find Ye Liuyun. San, go to the Qing Temple!"

Su Mingzhe was dressed in black. After giving the instructions, he flew into the air with a life detector and locked onto a red dot with the brightest red light in the instrument.

Northern Qi Embassy, ​​in a secret room.

Master Ku He, who had been lurking for many days, was distributing his martial arts secrets to his two direct disciples.

After he had distributed the secret books, he said:
"I just felt that Si Gu Jian is dead. I'm afraid I won't live much longer. When you return to Northern Qi with the secret book, remember to tell the Queen Mother and His Majesty that there is a martial god in Southern Qing who is invincible!"

"master!"

Before the two disciples could say anything, they heard a clear greeting from outside:

"Is Master Ku He here?"

"he came."

At this time, Master Ku He spoke in a tone that was somewhat bleak and sad, but his face and eyes revealed a bit of piety and joy.

Master Ku He has been pursuing martial arts and cultivation all his life.

Before his death, he was able to witness a martial arts ceiling that was one level higher than that of a grandmaster. For him, this meant "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

"Master, we'll hold him off, you go!"

Several of Ku He's disciples were adopted and raised by him since childhood. At this critical moment of life and death, they were unwilling to abandon him and escape alone.

"You can't leave!"

Su Mingzhe, who was wearing a black mask, smiled coldly, with a bit of arrogance in his eyes and a bit of arrogance in his tone:

"The old man and Emperor Qing set up this situation in order to wipe out the masters of your Northern Qi and Dongyi City in one fell swoop."

As if in response to Su Mingzhe's words, the sound of breaking through the air continued to be heard from high in the sky.

The 'Emperor Qing', who had been dead for more than two months, joined forces with Ye Liuyun, one of the four great masters, and Su Mingzhe to block all the escape routes of the Northern Qi Embassy.

In addition, there were dozens of Qingmiao monks who surrounded the Northern Qi Embassy.

"Master Ku He, you and your disciples should surrender! I can guarantee that I will never humiliate you!"

'Emperor Qing' spoke at this time.

His appearance shocked everyone present.

"Wasn't Emperor Qing assassinated? How come he is alive again?"

Ye Liuyun, who was called by 'Emperor Qing', was still in a daze at the moment.

However, he is now more grateful.

Fortunately, he has been staying at home obediently for the past two months and has not done anything rash.

If he really did something, I believe his fate would not be much better than Si Gu Jian and Ku He.

Ku He looked at the three great masters in the air, especially one of them who was the legendary "God of War", and felt extremely painful and conflicted in his heart.

When Su Mingzhe arrived, he originally wanted to make a one-for-one trade, to see what the "God of War" was like, and then give his apprentice a chance to escape.

As a result, the deceased 'Emperor Qing' suddenly appeared, and it seemed that he had become a grandmaster.

With the addition of Ye Liuyun, Ku He really felt at this moment how miserable her life was.

In the city of Kyoto, a number of ninth-rank masters felt the aura of the Grand Master, and at this time, they all dared to come and watch.

When they saw Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun teaming up with a strange Grandmaster to trap Northern Qi's Master Ku He, they all started to rejoice:

"In a one-on-one situation, the Grandmaster of Northern Qi couldn't beat the Grandmaster of Southern Qing. Now it's three against one. I'm afraid that Ku He will be beaten into a pulp by the Grandmaster of Southern Qing, right?"

"We... surrender!"

Ku He struggled for a long time, especially when he saw the two disciples behind him, he finally made a decision.

He has long since lost interest in life and death.

But the Tianyi Dao that he founded cannot be cut off like this.

If a battle were to start, he and his two disciples would probably be blown to pieces.

After thinking this through, Ku He made a wise choice.

"master!"

As the two direct disciples of Master Ku He, Lang Tao and Hai Tang Duo Duo felt their blood rush to their heads when they saw that their master had chosen to surrender. They wanted to draw their swords immediately and rush over to fight to the death with the grandmaster of Nan Qing.

However, Ku He had already sat down cross-legged, allowing the black cavalry from the Inspection Institute to run over and put shackles on him.

In the end, Langtao and Haitang Duoduo could only sigh and stretch out their hands, and Heiqi put a pair of shackles on them as well.

"Your Majesty, please pay homage to your Majesty!"

Chen Pingping was pushed over in a wheelchair. The moment he saw Emperor Qing come back to life, he was shocked beyond words.

However, he has a strong mind and remains calm.

In his opinion, it is unlikely that a Grand Master would impersonate the deceased 'Emperor Qing' when Grand Master Ye Liuyun was also present.

"Okay, everyone has been frightened tonight, let's all go back."

Emperor Qing waved his hand, signaling the crowd to leave, and at the same time gave Chen Pingping an order:

"Chen Pingping, take these Qingmiao envoys and capture all the experts in the Dongyi Embassy. Treat them the same as the Northern Qi Embassy. Other matters can be discussed at the grand court meeting tomorrow."
