Chapter 421 The Yellow Bird Behind

Ming Chengdi had been the emperor for so long, how could he not understand the current situation? It was a life-and-death struggle, with no possibility of reconciliation. Most importantly, he was not going to live long.

Doctor Zhuo had already told him clearly.

If he was calm and took good care of himself, he could probably live for more than three months. However, after seeing the crown prince commit suicide, Emperor Ming Cheng thought he had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but when he really faced this scene, the old man sending off the young, he was still quite shocked.

Just as he had roared just now, his mind was now filled with only one thought, to kill Helian Kai at any cost, even if it meant dying together with him.

Regardless of the consequences.

Even at this moment, he didn't think about winning or losing.

He only wanted to kill Helian Kai! If Helian Kai regarded Emperor Mingcheng as an enemy, then Helian Kai was a thorn in Emperor Mingcheng's heart. When the thorn he thought he had pulled out still existed, his anger almost reached its peak, and even the fear and accumulated dissatisfaction with Prince Rui over the years became insignificant and insignificant.

The fighting in the palace was even more brutal than that at the East Gate.

The East Gate was used for attacking and defending the city, a long-distance battle. The palace was a close-range fight, and in the end both sides were blood-thirsty.

The rebels led by Helian Kai seemed to have the upper hand at first, but in fact Emperor Ming Cheng had been prepared and had set up an ambush long ago.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards fought against tens of thousands of elite rebels, with the assistance of the Imperial Guards. From the initial evenly matched situation, they gradually turned the tide of the battle.

At the end of the battle, Duke Ningguo appeared with thousands of Shenjiying troops and started a one-sided massacre of the rebels.

The riot did not subside until dawn.

Helian Kai retreated from the palace under the escort of his confidants. When they fled to the big house at the entrance of the Caifang tunnel, they found that Qin Chi had been waiting there, waiting for him to fall into an ambush.

Qin Chi sat leisurely in front of the tunnel entrance, tapping the handle of the chair with his fingers.

There are dozens of secret guards around him.

Thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Camp appeared around the yard, holding bows and crossbows pointing at Helian Kai and others. As long as Qin Chi gave the order, these arrows would shoot them into hedgehogs in an instant.

"It's you? Qin Qian'an!"

Helian Kai gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Qin Qian stood up from his chair.

Aloof, elegant and cold.

He took a few steps forward, politely bowed to Helian Kai and showed him the salute of a junior.

"Outsiders are blind and say you are like that idiot in the palace. In my opinion, you are more like your grandfather. You act like a scholar but never do anything for human beings." The murderous intent in Helian Kai's eyes was about to overflow.

Qin Chi was scolded, but he remained calm.

I've cheated others so badly, and I just get scolded a few times. It doesn't hurt at all. It doesn't matter.

The two have been fighting behind the scenes until now, and this is the first time they have met up close.

Last time in Zuixianlou, Qin Qi'an stood in the shadows, and Helian Kai only saw a vague figure, which could not be considered a meeting. But this time, when Helian Kai saw Qin Chi's calm demeanor, it was like seeing Prince Rui in his memory.

It's not about appearance, but temperament.

"The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't send anyone to check your mother's whereabouts, so that she had the chance to give birth to you, this bastard!" After Helian Kai scolded him, he said angrily, "I haven't lost yet. Even if I die here, what does it matter? I will still overthrow the Great Xia Empire and let the Great Xia Empire be buried with me!"

Qin Qian'an raised his right hand coldly and moved his fingers slightly.

The tunnel entrance behind.

A group of secret guards with their faces covered came out.

Yan Jiangnan appeared in a disheveled state, tied up with ropes, and detained by two secret guards.

Helian Kai's eyes widened suddenly, and he glared at Qin Chi angrily. If looks could kill, Qin Chi would have been cut into pieces.

"Qin Qi'an, what did you do?"

“I didn’t do anything. When you broke into the palace, I sent someone to the farm to invite Mr. Yan to keep you company. It’s my token of my appreciation for you.” Qin Chi looked respectful, like a junior paying his respects to an elder.

Helian Kai suddenly felt a surge of blood and dizziness.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

He and Emperor Mingcheng fought to the death, but the one who got the upper hand was Prince Rui's lineage? The current development was completely beyond Helian Kai's expectations! He was not lying when he said that he had not lost, because without him in charge, Yan Jiangnan was still in charge.

But, Yan Jiangnan was also captured? !

In this way, the rebels outside the city have almost lost their backbone, in other words, they will be leaderless. The advantages they had before will gradually be lost without him and Yan Jiangnan controlling the overall situation behind the scenes. Helian Kai knows very well that it is not easy for the Liu family and his son to gain a foothold in this world with their abilities.

"My Lord?!"

Yan Jiangnan just came back to his senses and was equally shocked when he saw Helian Kai, "Why are you here? Isn't it time to attack..."

Soon, he noticed the situation around him and was stunned for a long time. Gradually, his spirit disappeared visibly. He muttered, "Defeated? Unexpectedly defeated? This shouldn't be like this, this shouldn't be like this!"

"Heaven is unfair, Heaven is unfair!"

Yan Jiangnan looked up at the sky angrily and asked, "Why? Why?! I, Yan, have worked so hard for most of my life, but in the end, I have failed!"

He was unwilling to give up his ambitions! The faith that supported Yan Jiangnan seemed to collapse in an instant, making him look extremely depressed. Suddenly, he struggled to break free from the hand of the secret guard and rushed towards Qin Chi.

It was as if he wanted to kill Qin Chi!

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Protect the young master!"

"Young Master, be careful!"

Several anxious voices were heard.

Qin Yi, who was standing next to him, drew his knife and blocked Qin Chi's way, pointing it directly at Yan Jiangnan.

Yan Jiangnan knew there was a knife in front of him, but he still rushed towards the tip of the knife.

Qin Yi was about to put away his knife.

"Help him!"

Qin Chi suddenly spoke.

So Qin Yi did not put away the knife.

"laugh……"

The tip of the knife pierced Yan Jiangnan's chest.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet! Qin Chi said coldly: "I am willing to die for Lumen, but I don't want to suffer in the world."

Hearing this, Yan Jiangnan raised his head and looked at Qin Chi steadily, and said with difficulty: "What a pity..."

What was the pity? Perhaps it was a pity that the person who could finally understand him was his opponent, perhaps it was a pity that his lifelong ambition was wasted, or perhaps it was something else... No one in the world knew.

Yan Jiangnan closed his eyes forever with regret.

At this time, Qin Yi pulled back the knife, then stretched out his arm to gently place Yan Jiangnan's body, which was about to fall to the ground.

Qin Chi and Yan Jiangnan have different positions.

He would not accuse Yan Jiangnan of anything, nor would he discredit his life because of it. A gentleman should do what he should do and not do what he should not do. Even if he was an opponent, Qin Chi would give him the respect that a scholar deserved.

Qin Chi said to the people around him: "Give him a proper burial."

"Yes, sir."

The secret guards nearby took Yan Jiangnan's body away.

Many things in this world are beyond our control.

Only the heart can weather the storm.

Some people stick to their beliefs throughout their lives and would rather die than surrender.
