“Why are you panicking?”

The Qing King asked with a frown. The knife he raised was only an arm’s length from the old Emperor’s head. If it fell, the old Emperor would lose his head. He was deliberately scaring him so that he would feel the fear of death. He wanted to see the old Emperor kneel before him and beg for mercy.

“The city guards are coming!”

The guards looked very flustered. The number of city guards was several times that of them. If they fought, they would be outnumbered.

The King’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. What was going on? How did the city guards know?

He had to kill the old Emperor as soon as possible to seize time. As long as he died, there would be no leader. At that time, he would say that the guards rebelled and were killed by him. Once his brother died, those city guards could only listen to his orders. Who would investigate the truth?

He was overjoyed when the old Emperor heard that the city guards had arrived. He supported the tottering Consort Li and comforted her.

“Consort Li, don’t be afraid. The city guards are here to save you.” “Unfortunately, when they come, your corpse will already be in two places.” The Qing King grinned hideously as he slashed his large knife at his big brother’s neck. If his head fell to the ground, it would be his.

The old Emperor’s guards risked their lives to save them, but they were all stopped by the Qing King’s subordinates. Just as the old Emperor and Consort Li were about to spill blood on the spot, a sleeve arrow shot the Qing King’s wrist with a whistling sound. The large knife brushed past the old Emperor’s shoulder and fell to the ground, almost cutting his neck.

The old Emperor was so frightened that he broke out coldly. He could even feel the chill of the blade, and goosebumps appeared on the skin of his neck. Consort Li was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling and unable to stand.

“Who is it?”

The King of Qing grabbed his injured wrist and shouted angrily into the darkness. A black shadow descended from the sky. It was a thin Central Plains man. His eyes were cold, and he held a soft sword as he stood before the old Emperor and Consort Li.

He was not tall but gave off a great sense of oppression. If a sharp blade blocked his way, it would make people shudder.

“Friend, make way. When I succeed, I’ll give you two cities.”

The King of Qing wanted to kill the old Emperor before the city guards arrived. Time was tight. The man in front of him was not to be trifled with. If they fought head-on, it would waste too much time. He reacted quickly and directly offered to give two cities. Ordinary people would not be able to refuse such a huge temptation.

The Qmg King still had other plans. When this man agreed, he would take advantage of the situation and kill him. He would shift the blame for killing the old Emperor onto him, and he would not have to explain himself.

“You want to send me away with just two cities?”

The man laughed coldly and looked at the King of Qing with contempt. His arrogant appearance made the King of Qing grit his teeth, but he had no choice but to endure it. He took a deep breath and asked,

“Then how many cities do you want?”

“Everything.”

The man pointed the flexible sword at the King of Qing.

When the King of Qmg heard that this person was too arrogant, he couldn’t make any concessions.

“Kill him!” He narrowed his eyes and waved at the guards behind him.

“Let’s end this quickly.”

Since you refuse to drink the toast, then I’ll punish you!

The guards swarmed forward and slashed at the man with more than ten sharp blades. The man flew up like a swan, and the soft sword in his hand turned into a light shadow. Wherever he passed, heads fell to the ground.

More than ten guards were killed in the blink of an eye! The corpses fell to the ground, scaring the Qing King. He hadn’t even seen how this person attacked. The guards on his side were all highly skilled in martial arts. How could they die just like that?

The man did not stop. After killing a dozen guards, he arrived before the Qing King. The Qing King was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated and called for guards to protect him.

However, the guards who rushed up to protect him were killed by this man. He did not even have time to escape before he was pulled off his horse and kicked unconscious.

The old Emperor looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. In an instant the outcome was completely different. He was the one who was supposed to be killed. This reversal was too significant.

“Thank you, benefactor.”

The old Emperor cupped his fists at the man, but the man didn’t look at him. With his back to him, he looked at the Qing King’s subordinates. His cold voice was as frightening as a blade.

“Do you want to die or surrender?”

When the King’s subordinates saw that their master had been captured, the sounds of fighting came from behind them. It was obvious that the city guards had arrived. In front of them was a man like a god of death, and behind them were the city guards. If they surrendered, they would live. If they did not surrender, they would die.

“I surrender!” Someone took the lead and dropped his weapon.

“I surrender!”

I surrender, too.” The leader immediately followed.

“I surrender…”

ii ii

The ground was littered with weapons. Almost all of the Qing King’s subordinates had chosen to surrender. Only a small number of die-hard loyalists were still resisting. They were all killed by the man who killed without blinking.

Without any resistance, the city guards quickly rushed over. The general came over and bowed to the old Emperor.

“I came late to save you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

“It’s not too late. Capture them all.”

The old Emperor still felt like he was in a dream. He still had lingering fear from the scene just now. Only when he saw his army arrive did he regain his dignity as an Emperor and ordered the generals to arrest the Qing King and his subordinates.

The Qmg King was knocked unconscious by the man, but he did not die. When he woke up, he found himself tied up. He could not help but look up and sigh.

“The heavens are not helping me! All our efforts have been in vain.”

“Although my father was a little ruthless in the matter of your mother, he Ignored the objections of the clansmen and brought you into the palace. My mother treated you as her own and allowed you to enjoy all the glory and wealth. Now that you’ve repaid kindness with ingratitude, do you still want the heavens to help you?”

The old Emperor looked at his half-brother and felt his heart ache. The royal family seemed to be unattainable, but who knew how painful it was to kill each other and have no kinship?

“Don’t say anymore. The winner is King, and the loser is a thief. You can kill or cut me if you want.”

The King of Qing also had a backbone. He did not beg for mercy and was still so unreasonable.

Alright, since you still don’t know how to repent, come, cut him down.”

The old Emperor closed his eyes, and his gaze instantly turned sharp. The most unforgivable thing in the Imperial Family was family love. A woman’s kindness would bring disaster upon herself.

The King of Qing was dragged down and beheaded. His body was exposed to the wilderness. Those who rebelled did not have the right to enter the ancestral grave.

“Thank you, Miss Su Qing.”

The old Emperor finished dealing with the King of Qing and walked to the man who had saved his life.

“Thank you for saving my life, Miss Su Qing.”

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His voice was no longer a male voice but his original voice.

“How did the Emperor recognize me?”

I ve seen that move of yours just now before.”

The old Emperor smiled. This was the third or fourth time Su Qing had saved him. The old Emperor had recognized her when she flew up just now. No one else had such a fierce and domineering move and killing intent.

After hearing the old Emperor and Su Qing’s conversation, Consort Li was no longer afraid. She ordered someone to help her over and asked in surprise,

“Are you Miss Su?”

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded. In the end, she did not choose to stand by and watch.. However, there were conditions for her to do so!
